梁祖之圍鳳翔也，茂勛兵屯岐山，梁祖以羸師誘之，命孔潛率勁兵襲下鄜州，盡俘其家，茂勛遂歸於梁，改名周彜，署元帥府行軍司馬。 When the Liang founder besieged Fengxiang, Maoxun camped at Qishan; the founder baited him with a weak force and sent Kong Qian with elite troops to seize Fuzhou and capture his whole family; Maoxun then submitted to Liang, took the name Zhou Yi, and was appointed campaign adjutant of the Marshal's headquarters.
