嗣恭募勇敢士八千人，以流人孟瑤、敬冕為才，擢任之。 Sigong recruited eight thousand brave men and, recognizing talent in the exiles Meng Yao and Jing Mian, promoted them to command.

使瑤督大軍當其沖，冕率輕兵由間道出不意，遂斬晃及支党萬餘，築屍為京觀。 Yao led the main force against the enemy front while Mian took light troops by a hidden route to strike from behind. They beheaded Huang and more than ten thousand of his followers and built a mound of their corpses.
