重師與劉捍故有隙，捍嘗構之太祖，太祖疑之。 Chongshi and Liu Han bore an old grudge; Han had whispered against him, and Taizu began to doubt.

重師遣其將張君練西攻邠、鳳而不先請，君練兵小敗，太祖以其擅發兵，挫失國威，將召而罪之，遣劉捍代重師。 Chongshi sent Zhang Junlian west against Bin and Feng without permission; Junlian lost a skirmish; Taizu, calling it an unauthorized blow to the realm’s prestige, moved to punish him and sent Liu Han to replace Chongshi.

重師不知太祖怒己，捍至，重師不出迎，見之青門，禮又倨，捍因馳白太祖，言重師有二誌。 Chongshi did not know Taizu was angry; when Han arrived he stayed inside; at the Green Gate his greeting was cold and proud; Han galloped to Taizu and said Chongshi had two hearts.
