貞明二年四月十九日夜，汴州捉生都將李霸等作亂，縱火焚剽，攻建國門，梁末帝登樓拒戰。 On the night of the nineteenth day of the fourth month of the second year of Zhenming, Li Ba and other commanders of the Bianzhou foraging corps mutinied, setting fires and looting as they attacked the Jianguo Gate; the Last Liang Emperor mounted the tower to fight them off.

晏球奏曰：「亂者惟李霸一都，陛下但守宮城，遲明臣必破之。」 Yanqiu reported, "The rebels are only Li Ba's one corps. Your Majesty need only hold the palace; by dawn I will destroy them."
