漢高祖擁兵而南，從益遣人召高行周、武行德等為拒，行周等皆不至，乃與王松謀以燕兵閉城自守。 Han Gaozu marched south; Congyi summoned Gao Xingzhou, Wu Xingde, and others to resist, but none came. He and Wang Song then planned to shut the gates and hold the city with Yan troops.

高祖聞其嘗召行周而不至，遣郭從義先入京師殺妃母子。 Gaozu heard they had called on Xingzhou in vain; he sent Guo Congyi ahead into the capital to kill the consort and her son.
