南至良鄉,其兵長反遮之,浮恐不得脫,乃下馬刺殺其妻,僅以身免,城降於寵,尚書令侯霸奏浮敗亂幽州,構成寵罪,徒勞軍師,不能死節,罪當伏誅。 Southward, on reaching Liangxiang, his troop chief turned and blocked him. Fearing he could not escape, Zhu Fu dismounted and stabbed his wife to death, barely escaping with his life alone. The city fell to Peng Chong. Minister Secretary Hou Ba accused him of ruining Youzhou, inventing charges against Peng Chong, wasting the army, and failing to die with honor—all capital offenses.
