至是世祖遣軍主桓敬、陳胤叔、苟元賔等八軍據西塞，令堅壁以待賊疲。 Now Shizu sent Huan Jing, Chen Yingshu, Gou Yuanbin, and other commanders with eight armies to hold the western forts, with orders to stand behind strong walls until the rebels were spent.

又遣屯騎校尉苟元賔、撫軍參軍郭文考、撫軍中兵參軍程隱雋、奉朝請諸襲光等，輕艓一萬，截其津要。 We also send Gou Yuanbin, Commandant of Valiant Cavalry; Guo Wenkao and Cheng Yinjun, staff officers of the Pacifying Army; Zhu Xiguang, Court Gentleman for the Dynasty; and others—with ten thousand light craft to seize his crossings and choke points.
