太祖皇帝遂詔伐蜀，遣王全斌、崔彥進等出鳳州，劉光乂、曹彬等出歸州； The founding emperor then ordered an attack on Shu, sending Wang Quanbin and Cui Yanjin out from Feng Prefecture and Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin out from Gui Prefecture;

劉光乂攻夔州，守將高彥儔戰敗，閉牙城拒守，判官羅濟勸其走，彥儔曰：「吾昔不能守秦川，今又奔北，雖人主不殺我，我何面目見蜀人乎！」 Liu Guangyi attacked Kui Prefecture. Garrison commander Gao Yanchou was beaten, shut himself in the headquarters city, and refused to yield. Administrative aide Luo Ji urged flight. Yanchou said: "I failed to hold Qinchuan before; if I flee north again, even if the emperor spares me, what face have I to show the people of Shu!"
