開皇二年，突厥沙鉢略可汗並弟葉護及潘那可汗眾十餘萬，寇掠而南，詔以長儒為行軍總管，率眾二千擊之．遇於周槃，眾寡不敵，軍中大懼，長儒慷慨，神色愈烈．為虜所衝突，散而復聚，且戰且行，轉鬥三日，五兵咸盡，士卒以拳毆之，手皆見骨，殺傷萬計，虜氣稍奪，於是解去．長儒身被五創，通中者二；
In the second year of Kaihuang, Shabolue Khan of the Turks, together with his younger brother, the yabghu, and Panna Khan, led a horde of more than a hundred thousand south in plunder. Changru was made commander on campaign and sent against them with two thousand men. They met at Zhoupan. Outnumbered, the army was seized with dread—but Changru only grew more fervent, his face fiercer than before. The barbarians broke his line again and again; his men scattered, re-formed, and fought on as they marched, wheeling through the hills for three days until every weapon was spent. Then they struck the enemy with bare fists until bone showed through their hands. Tens of thousands fell on both sides; the Turks’ spirit finally broke, and they drew off. Changru himself took five wounds, two of them grave.
