叢後果為郭璠所殺。 Cong was later killed by Guo Fan.

璠以宗權歸於太祖，太祖欲大其事，請獻俘於唐，唐以時溥破黃巢，獻馘而已，宗權不足俘，左拾遺徐彥樞亦疏請所在斬決。 Fan delivered Zongquan to Zhu Wen. The Founder wanted the triumph loud and asked to present the captive at Tang court. Tang answered that Shi Pu, when he broke Huang Chao, had sent only severed ears—Zongquan was not worth a grand presentation. Remonstrance official Xu Yanshu also asked that he be executed on the spot.
