銑乃遣將文士弘拒孝恭，戰清江口，孝恭大破之，獲鬥艦千艘，拔宜昌、當陽、枝江、松滋，偽江州將蓋彥舉以城降。 Xian sent Wen Shihong to block Xiaogong. They fought at the mouth of the Qing River; Xiaogong won a crushing victory, seized a thousand warships, and took Yichang, Dangyang, Zhijiang, and Songzi. The false Jiangzhou general Gai Yanju surrendered his city.
