及魏孝武與齊神武有隙，詔賀拔勝出牧荊州，柔謂因此可著功績，遂從勝之荊州。 When Emperor Xiaowu of Wei and Gao Huan fell out, an edict sent Heba Sheng to take charge of Jing Province; Rou thought he could win distinction by it and followed Sheng there.

曰：「高歡托晉陽之甲，意實難知。 Rou said, "Gao Huan relies on the armies of Jinyang, and his intent is hard to read.

後與勝俱還，行至襄陽，齊神武懼勝西入，遣侯景以輕騎邀之。 Later, returning north with Sheng, they reached Xiangyang; Gao Huan feared Sheng would go west and sent Hou Jing with light cavalry to cut them off.
