業僭稱涼王，以蒙遜為尚書左丞，梁中庸為右丞。 When Duan Ye assumed the title of king of Liang, he made Mengxun left secretary of the masters of writing and Liang Zhongyong right secretary.

業先疑其右將軍田昂，幽之於內，至是，謝而赦之，使與武衛梁中庸等攻蒙遜。 Duan Ye had long suspected his general of the right, Tian Ang, and kept him under house arrest; now he apologized, freed him, and sent him with Liang Zhongyong of the martial guard and others against Mengxun.

隆安五年，梁中庸、房晷、田昂等推蒙遜為使持節、大都督、大將軍、涼州牧、張掖公，赦其境內，改元永安。 In the fifth year of Long'an, Liang Zhongyong, Fang Gui, Tian Ang, and others proclaimed Mengxun commissioner with full powers, grand commander, great general, governor of Liangzhou, and Duke of Zhangye, granted an amnesty within his domain, and adopted the era name Yong'an.

署從兄伏奴為鎮軍將軍、張掖太守、和平侯，弟挐為建忠將軍、都谷侯，田昂為鎮南將軍、西郡太守，臧莫孩為輔國將軍，房晷、梁中庸為左右長史，張騭、謝正禮為左右司馬。 He named his cousin Funu garrison general, governor of Zhangye, and marquis of Heping; his brother Nu general who establishes loyalty and marquis of Dugu; Tian Ang general who guards the south and governor of Xijun; Zang Mohai general who supports the state; Fang Gui and Liang Zhongyong chief clerks left and right; Zhang Zhi and Xie Zhengli majors of the left and right.

時梁中庸為西郡太守，西奔李玄盛。 Liang Zhongyong, then governor of Xijun, fled west to Li Xuansheng.

蒙遜聞之，笑曰：「吾與中庸義深一體，而不信我，但自負耳，孤豈怪之！」 When Mengxun heard the news he laughed and said, "Zhongyong and I were as one in honor; if he could not trust me, the fault is his own—I bear him no grudge!"

乃盡歸其妻孥。 He sent back Zhongyong's wife and children untouched.
