唐兵起，六兒復聚為盜，附劉武周，季真從之，自號太子王，六兒為拓定王，叠為邊害。 When the Tang rose, Liu'er banded together again under Liu Wuzhou; Jizhen followed, styling himself King of the Crown Prince while Liu'er became King of Tuoding, and together they ravaged the frontier.

宋金剛戰澮州，勢未決，遂復連武周。 While Song Jingang fought at Kuaizhou with the issue still in doubt, he rejoined Liu Wuzhou.
