隋末群盜起，從通守張須陀擊賊帥盧明月於下邳。 When rebellion spread at the end of the Sui, he followed Zhang Xuantuo against the rebel Lu Mingyue at Xiapi.

既而明月果悉兵追之，叔寶與士信馳至其柵，柵門閉不得入，二人超升其樓，拔賊旗幟，各殺數人，營中大亂。 Mingyue pursued with his whole army; the two galloped to his camp, scaled the gate tower when the gates closed, tore down his banners, killed several men, and threw the camp into chaos.

明月奔還，須陀又回軍奮擊，大破賊眾。 Mingyue fled back; Xuantuo counterattacked and routed the rebels.

明月以數百騎遁去，余皆虜之。 Mingyue escaped with a few hundred horsemen; the rest were captured.
