梁遣捉生軍將李霸將千人戍楊劉，霸夜作亂，自水門入，縱火大噪，以長竿縛布沃油，仰燒建國門。 Liang sent Li Ba of the captive-recruiting corps with a thousand men to garrison Yangliu. Ba mutinied at night, came in through the water gate, set fires and roared, bound oil-soaked cloth to long poles, and burned upward at the Jianguo Gate.

晏球奏曰：「亂者，李霸一部爾，陛下嚴守宮城，而責臣破賊。」 Yanqiu reported: “The mutineers are only Li Ba’s band. Your Majesty, hold the palace fast and charge me to break them.”
