〈（《宋史·李濤傳》：杜重威據鄴叛，高祖命高行周、慕容彥超討之，二帥不協，濤密疏親征。 (The Song History biography of Li Tao records that when Du Chongwei rebelled and held Ye, Gaozu ordered Gao Xingzhou and Murong Yanchao to suppress him; the two commanders failed to cooperate, and Tao submitted a secret memorial urging the emperor to lead the campaign in person.

丙午，詔都部署高行周督眾攻城，帝登高阜以觀之，時眾議未欲攻擊，副部署慕容彥超堅請攻之。 On bingwu an edict put Grand Marshal Gao Xingzhou in charge of the siege; the emperor watched from a hilltop while his commanders still debated holding back—until Deputy Marshal Murong Yanchao pressed hard for an attack.
