齊神武出牧晉州，引樂為鎮城都將。 When Gao Huan went out to hold Jin Province, he recruited Le as garrison general of the walled city.

從破尒朱兆於廣阿，進爵廣宗縣伯。 He followed in the defeat of Erzhu Zhao at Guang'a and was advanced to earl of Guangzong County.

神武嘗議欲廢州，樂以東雍地帶山河，境連胡、蜀，形勝之會，不可棄也，遂如故。 Gao Huan once debated abolishing the province. Le argued that Eastern Yong lay between mountains and rivers, bordered Hu and Shu, and occupied a strategically vital junction — it could not be abandoned. The province remained as before.

後破周師於河陰，議欲追之，令追者在西，不願者東，唯樂與劉豐居西。 Later, after defeating Zhou troops at Heyin, there was debate over pursuit — those willing to pursue stood west, the unwilling east. Only Le and Liu Feng stood on the west.

改封金門郡公。 He was re-enfeoffed as duke of Jinmen Commandery.

文宣嗣事，鎮河陽，破西將楊檦等。 When Gao Yang succeeded to power, Le held the Heyang garrison and routed Western general Yang Piao and others.

時帝以懷州刺史平鑒等所築城深入敵境，欲棄之，樂以軹關要害，必須防固，乃更修理，增置兵將，而還鎮河陽，拜司空。 The emperor wished to abandon fortifications built by Huai Province governor Ping Jian and others, because they lay deep in enemy territory. Pan Le argued that Zhiguan Pass was a vital strongpoint and had to be held; he repaired the works, posted more troops and officers, returned to garrison Heyang, and was appointed minister of works.

齊受禪，樂進璽綬。 When Qi received the abdication, Pan Le presented the imperial seal and cord.

進封河東郡王，遷司徒。 He was advanced to Prince of Hedong Commandery and transferred to minister over the masses.

詔樂總大衆禦之。 An edict ordered Pan Le to take overall command and meet the invasion.

樂晝夜兼行，至長子，遣儀同韓永興從建州西趣崇，崇遂遁。 Pan Le forced the march day and night as far as Changzi, sent yitong Han Yongxing west from Jian Province against Houmochen Chong — and Chong fled.

樂發石鱉，南度百餘里，至梁涇州。 Pan Le marched out from Shibie, drove south more than a hundred li, and reached Jing Province in Liang territory.

涇州舊在石梁，侯景改為懷州，樂獲其地，仍立涇州，又克安州。 Jing Province had stood at Shiliang until Hou Jing renamed it Huai Province. Pan Le recovered the ground, restored Jing Province, and also took An Province.

贈假黃鉞，太師、大司馬、尚書令。 Posthumously he was granted the acting yellow battle-axe, grand preceptor, grand marshal, and director of the Masters of Writing.
