及荊州刺史南郡王義宣反，檄脩之舉兵，脩之偽與之同，而遣使陳誠於帝。 When Yixuan, Prince of Nanjun and Inspector of Jingzhou, rebelled, he called on Xiuzhi to join the revolt. Xiuzhi feigned agreement while sending an envoy to pledge his loyalty to the throne.

義宣聞脩之不與己同，乃以魯秀為雍州刺史，擊襄陽。 Learning that Xiuzhi would not stand with him, Yixuan named Lu Xiu Inspector of Yongzhou and marched on Xiangyang.

及義宣敗於梁山，單舟南走，脩之率眾南定遺寇。 After Yixuan was beaten at Liangshan and fled south alone by boat, Xiuzhi led his troops south to subdue the scattered rebels.

時竺超民執義宣，脩之至，乃殺之，以功封南昌縣侯。 Zhu Chaomin then held Yixuan captive. Xiuzhi arrived, killed Yixuan, and for this service was enfeoffed as Marquis of Nanchang county.

及南郡王義宣與江州刺史臧質反，朝庭假玄謨輔國將軍，拜豫州刺史，與柳元景南討，軍屯梁山，夾岸築偃月壘，水陸待之。 When Yixuan, Prince of Nanjun, and Jiangzhou Inspector Zang Zhi rose in revolt, the court named Xuanmo acting Pacifying-State General and Inspector of Yuzhou. With Liu Yuanying he marched south, encamped at Liangshan, and threw up crescent ramparts on both riverbanks to meet the rebels by land and water.

義宣遣劉諶之就臧質，陳軍城南，玄謨留老弱守城，悉精兵接戰，賊遂大潰。 Yixuan sent Liu Shenzhi to Zang Zhi's camp. The rebels drew up south of the city. Xuanmo left the aged and weak to guard the walls and led every able man to the fight; the enemy collapsed.

中軍司馬劉沖之白孝武，言：「玄謨在梁山，與義宣通謀。」 Central Army staff officer Liu Chongzhi reported to Emperor Xiaowu, saying, "At Liangshan, Xuanmo was secretly colluding with Yixuan."
