侯景之亂，稍聚少年，據豐城縣為柵，桀黠劫盜多附之。 In the Hou Jing uprising he slowly gathered youths, took Fengcheng county for a stockade, and fierce raiders flocked to him.

侯景之亂，迪宗人周續起兵於臨川，梁始興王蕭毅以郡讓續，迪召募鄉人從之，每戰必勇冠眾軍。 In the Hou Jing turmoil Di's kinsman Zhou Xu raised men in Linchuan; Liang's Prince of Shixing, Xiao Yi, yielded the commandery to Xu; Di gathered neighbors to follow, and in every fight his courage led the host.
