庫仁弟眷，繼攝國事。 Liu Kuren's younger brother Juan stepped in to govern the tribes.

白部大人絜佛叛，[3]眷力不能討。 Jiefu, grandee of the White Division, rebelled, [3] and Juan lacked the force to crush him.

眷又破賀蘭部于善無，又擊蠕蠕別帥肺渥于意親山，破之，獲牛羊數十萬頭。 Juan next routed the Helan at Shanwu and struck the Rouran sub-chief Feiwo at Yiqin Mountain, taking hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

眷第二子羅辰，性機警，有智謀，謂眷曰：「比來行兵，所向無敵，心腹之疾，願早圖之。」 Juan's second son Luo Chen was quick-witted and full of counsel; he told Juan, "Our armies have known no defeat—but the sickness is within. We should deal with it now."

眷曰：「誰也？」 Juan asked, "Who?"

眷不以為意。 Juan paid no heed.

其後，徙牧于牛川，庫仁子顯，果殺眷而代立。 Later, when the herds were moved to Niuchuan, Liu Kuren's son Xian murdered Juan and usurped his place.

顯，本名醜伐，既殺眷代立，又欲謀逆，語在太祖紀。 Xian, whose birth name was Choufa, after killing Juan and seizing rule plotted treason as well; that story is told in Taizu's annals.
