乃復待制，再知明州，改知平江府，陛辭，言：「我軍已習戰，非復前日，故劉錡能以少擊眾，敵大挫衄，若乘已振之勢，鼓行而前，中原可傳檄而定。」 He was restored as attendant gentleman, again governed Ming Prefecture, and was transferred to Pingjiang Prefecture. At his farewell audience he said, "Our army has learned to fight and is no longer what it was. Liu Qi defeated a larger force with fewer men and the enemy suffered a great defeat. If we seize this renewed momentum and march forward, the Central Plains can be recovered by proclamation alone."
