梁祖患之，遣使諜羅宏信曰：「河東志在吞食河朔，回軍之日，貴道堪憂。」 The Liang Founder, alarmed by this, sent envoys to Luo Hongxin with a warning: "The Hedong army means to devour the Hebei plain. The day they wheel homeward, your domain will be at risk."

而存信戢兵無法，稍侵魏之芻牧，宏信怒，翻然結於梁祖，乃出兵三萬以攻存信。 Cunxin, however, failed to keep his men in check, and they gradually encroached on Wei's grazing lands. Hongxin, enraged, abruptly aligned with the Liang Founder and marched thirty thousand men against Cunxin.
