納於是還鄆，與悅、李希烈、朱滔、王武俊連和，自稱齊王，置百官。 Na withdrew to Yunzhou, joined forces with Yue, Li Xilie, Zhu Tao, and Wang Wujun, proclaimed himself King of Qi, and installed a full court of officials.

希烈圍陳州，納會諸軍破之城下，加檢校司空，實封五百戶，進檢校司徒。 When Li Xilie besieged Chenzhou, Na joined the relief armies and routed him below the walls; he was promoted to acting Minister of Works with a fief of five hundred households, then to acting Grand Mentor.
