武周死，突厥以君璋為大行臺，統武周部曲，使郁射設監兵，與舊將高滿政夜襲代州，不克。 After Liu Wuzhou died, the Turks appointed Yuan Junzhang Grand Executive and placed him in command of Wuzhou's former troops. They sent Yushe Shad to oversee the army; together with the veteran general Gao Manzheng, he launched a night attack on Dai Prefecture but failed to take it.

滿政勸君璋曰：「夷狄無禮，豈可北面臣之？ Gao Manzheng urged Yuan Junzhang, saying, "The barbarians know no propriety. How can we bow north and serve them as subjects?

而馬邑困於兵，人厭亂，滿政因眾不忍，夜脅君璋，君璋奔突厥。 Mayi was ravaged by warfare and the people were sick of chaos. Gao Manzheng played on their discontent and by night forced Yuan Junzhang's hand. Junzhang fled to the Turks.

滿政以城歸，詔拜朔州總管，封榮國公。 Gao Manzheng handed the city over to Tang. An edict appointed him Governor of Shuozhou and enfeoffed him as Duke of Rong.

君璋引突厥攻陷馬邑，殺滿政，夷其黨，乃去，退保恒安。 Yuan Junzhang led the Turks to storm Mayi, killed Gao Manzheng, and wiped out his followers. He then withdrew to hold Heng'an.
