會朝廷再發中使荀鹹乂將兵赴閬州，光業謂虔徽曰：「鹹乂未至，吾父必反。 When the court again sent the inner envoy Gou Xianyi with troops to Langzhou, Guangye told Qianhui: "Before Xianyi arrives my father will rebel.

請停鹹乂之行，吾父必保常日。」 Stop Xianyi's march and my father will remain loyal."

重誨不從，鹹乂未至，璋已擅追綿州刺史武虔裕，囚於衙署。 Chonghui refused; before Xianyi arrived Zhang had already recalled Mianzhou prefect Wu Qianyu and imprisoned him at headquarters.
