無何，劉知俊據同州叛，師厚與劉鄩率軍西討，至潼關，擒知俊弟知浣以獻。 Soon Liu Zhijun rebelled at Tongzhou; Shihou and Liu Yan marched west, took his brother Zhihuan at Tong Pass, and sent him up.

知俊聞師厚至，即西走鳳翔，師厚進攻，至長安。 Zhijun fled west to Fengxiang when he heard Shihou was coming; Shihou drove on to Chang'an.

時知俊已引岐寇據其城，師厚以奇兵傍南山急行，自西門而入，賊將王建驚愕，不知所為，遽出降。 Zhijun had already brought Qi forces into the city; Shihou raced picked men along the southern hills, burst in the west gate, and rebel commander Wang Jian, stunned, surrendered at once.
