孟方立遣將呂臻來援，戰於焦崗，大敗之，擒呂臻，俘斬萬計，進拔武安、臨洺諸屬縣，乘勝進圍邢州。 Meng Fangli sent Lü Zhen to the rescue. Ke Xiu met him at Jiaogang and won a crushing victory, capturing Lü Zhen and killing or taking prisoner tens of thousands. He then seized Wu'an, Linming, and the other subordinate counties and, riding the momentum, laid siege to Xingzhou.

光啟二年，克修擊邢州，取故鎮，進攻武安，方立將呂臻、馬爽戰焦岡，為克修所破，斬首萬級，執臻等，拔武安、臨洺、邯鄲、沙河。 In 886 Kexiu attacked Xingzhou, recovered the old seat, and pressed on Wu'an; Fangli's generals Lü Zhen and Ma Shuang met him at Jiaogang and were routed—ten thousand heads were taken, Zhen captured, and Wu'an, Linming, Handan, and Shahe fell.
