會王郎反，世祖自薊東南馳，純與從昆弟訢、宿、植共率宗族賓客二千餘人，老病者皆載木自隨，奉迎於育。 Wang Lang's revolt broke out while Guangwu was racing southeast from Ji; Geng Chun and his cousins Geng Xin, Geng Su, and Geng Zhi brought more than two thousand kinsmen and clients—even the elderly carried firewood as provisions—to meet him at Yu.

拜純為前將軍，封耿鄉侯，訢、宿、植皆偏將軍，使與純居前，降宋子，從攻下曲陽及中山。 Geng Chun became forward general and marquis of Gengxiang; Geng Xin, Geng Su, and Geng Zhi were named lieutenant generals and sent ahead with him to win over Songzi and then strike Xiaquyang and Zhongshan.

純舉從弟植，於是使植將純營，純猶以前將軍從。 Geng Chun named his cousin Geng Zhi, who took command of his troops while Geng Chun kept the title of forward general in the field.

植後為輔威將軍，封威邑侯。 Geng Zhi later rose to general who aids awe and marquis of Weiyi.
