镠巡衣錦城，武勇右都指揮使徐綰與左都指揮使許再思叛，焚掠城郭，攻內城，镠子傳瑛及其將馬綽、陳為等閉門拒之。
While Qian Liu was touring Brocade-Robed City, Xu Kuo, Right Commandant of Martial Valour, and Xu Zaisi, Left Commandant, rose in revolt. They burned and looted the outer city and assaulted the inner citadel. Liu's son Chuanying, with the generals Ma Chuo and Chen Wei among others, barred the gates and held them off.
镠微服逾城而入，遣馬綽、王榮、杜建徽等分屯諸門，使顧全武備東府，全武曰：「東府不足慮，可慮者淮南爾，綰急，必召淮兵至，患不細矣。
Liu slipped in disguised as a commoner. He posted Ma Chuo, Wang Rong, and Du Jianhui at the various gates and ordered Gu Quanwu to secure the Eastern Capital.
