及尉迥作亂，子幹與宇文司錄從韋孝寬討之．遇賊圍懷州，子幹與宇文述等擊破之．高祖大悅，手書曰：「逆賊尉迥，敢遣蟻眾，作寇懷州．公受命誅討，應機蕩滌，聞以嗟贊，不易可言．丈夫富貴之秋，正在今日，善建功名，以副朝望也．」其後每戰先登，及破鄴城，與崔弘度逐迥至樓上．進位上開府，封武川縣公，邑三千戶，以思安縣伯別封子皎． When Yuchi Jiong rebelled, Zigan and the registrar Yuwen Shu followed Wei Xiaokuan to suppress him. When the rebels besieged Huaizhou, Zigan and Yuwen Shu and others broke the siege. Gaozu was delighted and wrote in his own hand: “The traitor Yuchi Jiong dared send an ant-like swarm against Huaizhou. You took command and swept them away as the moment required—I can hardly find words for my admiration. A man’s season of wealth and honor is now; build your merit to answer the court’s hopes.” After that he was first over the wall in every fight. When Ye fell, he and Cui Hongdu chased Jiong to the top of a tower. He was promoted to superior director of the bureau, enfeoffed as duke of Wuchuan with three thousand households, and his son Jiao was separately given the earldom of Si’an.
