事節度使田仁琬、蓋嘉運，未甚任用，後夫蒙靈察累拔擢之。 Under commissioners Tian Renwan and Gai Jiayun he saw little use; Fumeng Lingcha later promoted him again and again.

後節度使田仁琬、蓋嘉運並靈察累討之，不捷，玄宗特敕仙芝以馬步萬人為行營節度使往討之。 Commissioners Tian, Gai, and Lingcha had campaigned against them repeatedly without victory; the emperor then appointed Xianzhi Mobile-Camp Commissioner with ten thousand infantry and cavalry to lead the punitive expedition.

仙芝軍還至河西，夫蒙靈察都不使人迎勞，罵仙芝曰：「啖狗腸高麗奴！ When the army reached Hexi, Fumeng Lingcha sent no envoy to welcome them and cursed Xianzhi: "Korean cur who eats dog guts!

仙芝曰：「中丞。」 Xianzhi said, "You did, Vice Commissioner."

曰：「中丞。」 He said, "You did, Vice Commissioner."

靈察曰：「此既皆我所奏，安得不待我處分懸奏捷書！ Lingcha said, "Since I recommended you for every one of these posts, how dare you send in a victory report without waiting for my approval!

其年六月，制授仙芝鴻臚卿、攝御史中丞，代夫蒙靈察為四鎮節度使，征靈察入朝。 That sixth month an edict made Xianzhi Grand Master of Splendid Happiness and acting censor-in-chief, replaced Lingcha as commissioner of the Four Garrisons, and recalled Lingcha to the capital.

靈察大懼，仙芝每日見之，趨走如故，靈察益不自安。 Lingcha was terrified; Xianzhi still called on him daily and waited on him as before, which only deepened Lingcha's unease.

將軍程千里時為副都護，大將軍畢思琛為靈察押衙，行官王滔、康懷順、陳奉忠等，嘗構譖仙芝於靈察。 General Cheng Qianli was deputy protector; Grand General Bi Sichen was Lingcha's chief adjutant; and staff officers Wang Tao, Kang Huaishun, and Chen Fengzhong had once slandered Xianzhi to Lingcha.

對曰：「此是中丞知思琛辛苦見乞。」 Sichen answered, "The Vice Commissioner knew my hardships and granted it at my plea."

外祖死，常清孤貧，年三十餘，屬夫蒙靈察為四鎮節度使，將軍高仙芝為都知兵馬使，頗有材能，每出軍，奏傔從三十餘人，衣服鮮明。 After his grandfather died Changqing was left poor and alone. Past thirty, Fumeng Lingcha was commissioner of the Four Garrisons and Gao Xianzhi commander — a capable man who marched with thirty-odd brilliantly dressed attendants.
