疏甫上，耿精忠亦叛，遣其將曾養性、白顯忠、馬九玉數道闚浙，浙大震。 Hardly had the memorial been submitted when Geng Jingzhong rebelled as well, sending his generals Zeng Yangxing, Bai Xianzhong, and Ma Jiuyu in several columns to threaten Zhejiang. The province was thrown into alarm.

惟九玉踞江山、常山、開化，連寨數十，與之芳相持。 Only Jiuyu still held Jiangshan, Changshan, and Kaihua behind dozens of linked stockades, locked in stalemate with Zhifang.

雖九玉死守河西難猝破，然其南江山，西則常山，皆間道可襲。 Though Jiuyu stubbornly held the west bank of the river and could not be taken quickly, Jiangshan lies to his south and Changshan to his west—both are paths that can be struck.

遂進兵大溪灘，复江山，九玉走，欲別取道奪仙霞。 They advanced to Daxitan and recovered Jiangshan. Jiuyu fled, intending to take another route and seize Xianxia Pass.
