克恭令裨校李元審、安建、紀綱、馮霸部送太原，行次銅鞮縣，馮霸劫眾謀叛，殺都將劉杲、縣令戴勞謙，循山而南，比及沁水，有眾三千。 Ke Gong ordered the subordinate officers Li Yuanshen, An Jian, the escort officers, and Feng Ba to march the detachment to Taiyuan. At Tongdi county Feng Ba incited a mutiny, killed the commander Liu Gao and the magistrate Dai Laoqian, and led his men south along the mountains until, by the time they reached Qinshui, he had three thousand followers.

武皇令李元審將兵擊之，與霸戰於沁水，不利，元審戰傷，收軍於潞。 Li Keyong ordered Li Yuanshen to attack them. Yuanshen fought Feng Ba at Qinshui without success, was wounded, and withdrew to Lu.

居受遣人召馮霸於沁水，霸不受命。 Jushou sent men to summon Feng Ba at Qinshui, but Feng Ba refused to obey.

居受懼，將奔歸朝廷，至長子，為野人所殺，傳首馮霸軍。 Terrified, Jushou set out to flee to the Tang court. At Changzi he was killed by local bandits, and his head was sent to Feng Ba's camp.

霸乃引軍據潞州，自稱留後，求援於汴。 Feng Ba then seized Luzhou, declared himself acting commissioner, and appealed to the Liang for help.

武皇令康君立討之，汴將葛從周來援霸。 Li Keyong ordered Kang Junli to suppress him. The Liang general Ge Congzhou marched to Feng Ba's relief.

九月，李存孝急攻潞州，汴軍夜遁，獲霸等誅之，武皇乃以康君立為昭義節度使。 In the ninth month Li Cunxiao pressed the attack on Luzhou. The Liang army fled by night, Feng Ba and his fellows were captured and executed, and Li Keyong appointed Kang Junli military commissioner of Zhaoyi.
