世宗即位，並人入侵，其將張暉率先鋒自團柏穀入營梁侯驛，攻劫堡柵，所至焚略蕩盡，筠遣護軍穆令均率步騎二千拒之。 After Shizong's accession the Northern Han invaded. Their general Zhang Hui led the vanguard through Tuanbai Valley to Lianghou Post, storming and looting every fort along the way until the countryside was scorched bare. Yun sent Mu Lingjun with two thousand infantry and cavalry to meet him.

令均營於太平驛，驛東南距潞八十里，失於偵邏，暉淩晨奄至，潞兵被甲介馬，暉見之佯退，潞兵追之，並伏遂發。 Lingjun camped at Taiping Post, eighty li southeast of Luzhou, but neglected his scouts. Hui struck at dawn. The Luzhou men armed and mounted; Hui feigned retreat, drew them in pursuit, and sprang his ambush.

令均且鬥且卻，步卒降並者數百人，騎不復者百人，餘眾還保潞。 Lingjun fought a fighting retreat. Hundreds of foot soldiers defected to the enemy; a hundred horsemen never returned. The survivors fell back on Luzhou.
