時盜羅世傳、李元礪、李新等相繼竊發，桂陽、茶陵、安仁三縣皆破，環地千里，莽為盜區。 Bandits led by Luo Shichuan, Li Yuanli, Li Xin, and others rose in succession. Guiyang, Chaling, and Anren counties were overrun, and a thousand-li region became bandit territory.

元礪果不可降，彥約乃督諸將逼賊巢而屯，擊破李新於酃洣，新中創死，眾推李如鬆為首，如鬆降，遂復桂陽。 Yuanli indeed would not surrender. Cao Yanyue then directed the generals to press the bandit strongholds. Li Xin was defeated at Ling and Mi and died of his wounds. The bandits made Li Rusong their leader; Rusong surrendered, and Guiyang was recovered.
