李景知之，密令人齎蠟書誘重進，啖以厚利，重進表其事。 Li Jing of Wu learned of the quarrel and sent a sealed letter tempting Chongjin with rich rewards. Chongjin reported the offer to court.

會李景請畫江為界，世宗遂還，留重進戍守，景遣人以牛酒來犒，俄乃還鎮。 Li Jing sued for peace with the Yangzi as boundary. Shizong withdrew, leaving Chongjin to garrison the frontier. Jing sent cattle and wine as gifts; Chongjin soon returned to his post.

又自以周室近親，恐不得全，遂拘思誨，治城隍，繕兵甲，遣人求援李景，景懼而不納，聞之太祖。 Again thinking himself a close kinsman of the Zhou house and fearing he would not be spared, he detained Sihui, repaired walls and moats, prepared arms and armor, and sent envoys to seek aid from Li Jing. Li Jing was afraid and would not receive them, and word reached the founder.
