太祖遣從周攻劉守文於滄州，以蔣暉監其軍。 Taizu sent Congzhou against Liu Shouwen at Cangzhou and put Jiang Hui over the army as supervisor.

守文求救於其父仁恭，仁恭以燕兵救之，暉語諸將曰：「吾王以我監諸將，今燕兵來，不可迎戰，宜縱其入城，聚食倉廩，使兩困而後取之。」 Shouwen called on his father Rengong, who marched with Yan troops. Hui told the generals: “I was sent to watch you. Yan is coming—do not fight. Let them into the city to eat from the granaries; when both sides are spent, take them.”

且暉之言乃常談爾，勝敗之機在吾心，暉豈足以知之！」 And Hui’s counsel is common talk. Victory and defeat are mine to read—what does Hui know of it!”
