會漢王諒作亂并州，遣偽將綦良東略地，攻逼慈州。 When Prince Liang of Han rebelled at Bingzhou, he sent the false general Qi Liang to advance east and attack, pressing Cizhou.

刺史上官政請援於胄，胄畏諒兵鋒，不敢拒，良又引兵攻胄，胄欲以計卻之，遣親人魯世范說良曰：「天下事未可知，胄為人臣，去就須得其所，何遽相攻也？」 Governor Shangguan Zheng requested aid from Zhou. Zhou feared Prince Liang's military edge and did not dare refuse. Qi Liang then led troops to attack Zhou. Zhou wished to repel him by stratagem and sent his close associate Lu Shifan to tell Qi Liang, "Affairs under Heaven are not yet settled. Zhou, as a minister, must choose his stand according to what is fitting. Why rush to attack one another?"

良於是釋去，進圖黎陽。 Liang thereupon withdrew and advanced to plan against Liyang.

及良為史祥所攻，棄軍歸胄。 When Shi Xiang attacked Liang, Liang abandoned his army and fled back to Zhou.
