魏永安中，万俟醜奴據岐、涇等諸州反叛，魏孝莊遣爾朱天光率兵擊破之。 During Northern Wei's Yong'an era, Moqi Chounu rebelled and seized Qi, Jing, and neighboring provinces; Emperor Xiaozhuang of Wei sent Erzhu Tianguang to crush him.

其黨万俟道洛、費連少渾猶據原州，未知醜奴已敗。 Chounu's lieutenants Moqi Daoluo and Feilian Shaohun still held Yuan Province, unaware that Chounu had already fallen.

會賊黨万俟阿寶戰敗逃還，私告賢曰：「醜奴已敗，王師行至此。 When the defeated rebel Moqi Abao fled back to the city, he confided to Li Xian: "Chounu is beaten. The imperial army is almost upon us.

賢因令阿寶偽為醜奴使，紿道洛等曰：「今已破臺軍，須與公計事，令阿寶權守原州，公宜速往。」 Li Xian then had Abao pose as Chounu's messenger and deceive Daoluo and his men: "We have routed the imperial army and need to confer with you at once. Abao will hold Yuan Province for now—you must come immediately."
