時盜羅世傳、李元礪、李新等相繼竊發，桂陽、茶陵、安仁三縣皆破，環地千里，莽為盜區。 Bandits led by Luo Shichuan, Li Yuanli, Li Xin, and others rose in succession. Guiyang, Chaling, and Anren counties were overrun, and a thousand-li region became bandit territory.

世傳素與元礪有隙，至是密請圖元礪以自效，彥約錄賞格報之，且告於朝，又予萬緡錢犒其師。 Shichuan had long been at odds with Yuanli and now secretly offered to capture him. Cao Yanyue recorded the reward regulations, reported to court, and gave ten thousand strings of cash to reward his troops.

世傳遂禽元礪。 Shichuan then captured Yuanli.

世傳既自以為功，遲留以邀重賂，彥約諭以不宜格外邀求。 Shichuan, claiming the credit, lingered to demand heavy rewards. Cao Yanyue told him he should not seek excessive payment.

時池州副都統許俊駐兵吉之龍泉，厚賂以結世傳，超格許轉官資，世傳遂以元礪解江西。 Xu Jun, vice commander-in-chief of Chizhou, was stationed at Longquan in Ji. He bribed Shichuan heavily and promised him promotion beyond regulations. Shichuan then handed Yuanli over to Jiangxi.

胡榘為右司，欲以世傳盡統諸峒而為之帥，悉徹江西、湖南戍兵，彥約固爭之，榘不悅，然世傳終桀驁不肯出峒。 Hu Ju of the right bureau wished to put Shichuan in command of all the mountain stockades and withdraw all Jiangxi and Hunan garrisons. Cao Yanyue strongly opposed this. Hu was displeased, but Shichuan remained arrogant and refused to leave the mountains.

彥約密遣羅九遷為間，誘胡友睦，許以重賞，友睦遂殺世傳。 Cao Yanyue secretly sent Luo Jiuqian as an agent to entice Hu Youmu with a heavy reward. Youmu then killed Shichuan.
