初，汴人攻澤州，呼罕之曰：「相公常恃太原，輕絕大國，今張相公圍太原，葛司空已入潞府，旬日之內，沙陀無穴自處，相公何路求生耶！」 Early in the siege the Bian troops taunted Han Zhi: "You have always leaned on Taiyuan and scorned the great power. Chancellor Zhang now invests Taiyuan, and Vice Director Ge holds the Lu prefectural seat. Within ten days the Shatuo will have nowhere to hide—what path remains for you to survive?!"

九月，葛從周棄城夜遁，存孝收城，武皇乃表康君立為潞帥。 In the ninth month Ge Congzhou abandoned the city under cover of night. Cunxiao took possession, and the Martial Emperor recommended Kang Junli as commander of Lu.
