詔越郡王孝恭趨九江，嶺南大使李靖下宣城，懷州總管黃君漢出譙，齊州總管李世勣繇淮、泗討之。 An imperial edict sent Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhao Commandery, to Jiujiang; Li Jing, Grand Ambassador for Lingnan, down from Xuancheng; Huang Junhan, Area Commander of Huaizhou, out from Qiao; and Li Shiji, Area Commander of Qizhou, by way of the Huai and Si rivers to campaign against him.

孝恭取蕪湖，下梁山三鎮。 Xiaogong took Wuhu and reduced the three forts on Liangshan.

公祏復遣將馮惠亮、陳當世屯博望山，陳正通、徐紹宗屯青州山以拒戰，孝恭率諸將破之，惠亮、正通走，李靖躡追百餘里，眾悉潰，正通等以五百騎奔丹陽。 Gongduo sent Feng Huiliang and Chen Dangshi to hold Bowang Mountain and Chen Zhengtong and Xu Shaozong to hold Qingzhou Mountain. Xiaogong and his generals broke them; Huiliang and Zhengtong fled. Li Jing chased them more than a hundred li until their armies scattered. Zhengtong and the rest escaped to Danyang with five hundred horsemen.
