二月，遣安都領馬軍北討，東陽太守沈法系水軍向彭城，並受徐州刺史申坦節度。 In the second month the court sent Andou north at the head of the cavalry while Dongyang Administrator Shen Faxing led the naval force toward Pengcheng. Both operated under Xuzhou Inspector Shen Tan.

時虜已去，坦求回軍討任榛，見許。 By then the Northern Wei had already withdrawn. Tan asked to turn the army against the bandit Ren Zhen, and permission was granted.

安都、法系並白衣領職，坦繫尚方。 Andou and Faxing were both stripped to plain dress while retaining their posts, and Tan was imprisoned in the Imperial Workshop.
