時永興軍節度使李洪信，漢室之密戚也，自太祖踐阼，恒有憂沮之意，而本城軍不滿千，峻出征至陜州，以救援晉州為辭，抽起數百人，及劉崇北遁，又遣禁兵千餘人，屯於京兆，洪信懼，遂請入朝。 Li Hongxin, military governor of Yongxing, was a close kinsman of the Han house. Since Guo Wei took the throne he had shown constant unease, yet his city garrison numbered fewer than a thousand. When Jun marched out and reached Shan, he used the relief of Jin Prefecture as a pretext to draft several hundred men from him; and when Liu Chong fled north, Jun sent more than a thousand palace guards to garrison Jingzhao. Hongxin was terrified and petitioned to come to court.
