方至江左，諜間北使與中夏構隙，以紓疆場之難，遂殺霸，居乾濠州，聲言為汴人所殺。 When they had just reached the south, spies exploited tensions between the northern envoys and the Central State to relieve frontier pressure. Ba was killed, Qian was detained in Haozhou, and it was publicly declared that the envoy had been murdered by men from Bian.
