下邳賊苗海潮擁眾鈔暴，伏威遣公祏脅諭曰：「天下共苦隋，豪桀相與興義，然力弱勢分不相統，若合以為強，則無事隋矣。 Miao Haichao of Xiapi led a band that looted far and wide. Fuwei sent Fu Gongshi to intimidate him with a message: "The empire groans under the Sui; heroes everywhere are rising in revolt, yet their forces are weak and scattered and cannot act as one. If we join together we shall be strong enough to bring down the Sui.

海潮懼，即以眾下之。 Haichao was frightened and at once placed his men under Fuwei's command.
