歲餘，朔方梁師都、馬邑劉武周等各稱兵作亂，郡中諸胡複相嘯聚。 A little over a year later, Liang Shidu in Shuofang and Liu Wuzhou in Mayi each rose in arms, and the non-Han peoples of the commandery likewise began gathering in rebellion.

輜重半濟，遇河西諸縣各殺長吏，叛歸師都，道路隔絕，子崇退歸離石。 Their baggage train was still half across the river when word came that the counties west of the Yellow River had killed their magistrates and joined Liang Shidu. With the roads cut off, Zichong retreated to Lishi.
