鋹始思廷肙言，遣廷肙以舟兵出洸口抗王師。 Chang first thought of Tingxu’s words and sent Tingxu with river troops out from Guangkou to resist the imperial army.

會王師退舍，廷肙訓士卒，修戰備，嶺人倚以為良將。 When the imperial army withdrew, Tingxu trained the soldiers and repaired war stores; the men of the ranges relied on him as a good general.

有譖者投無名書言廷肙反，鋹遣使者賜死； A slanderer submitted an anonymous letter saying Tingxu had rebelled; Chang sent envoys to grant him death;

士卒排軍門見使者，訴廷肙無反狀，不能救，為立祠於洸口。 the soldiers crowded the camp gate to see the envoys and pleaded that Tingxu showed no sign of rebellion; they could not save him and built a shrine for him at Guangkou.
