安、史之亂，偽官陸大鈞等背賊來歸，及慶緒奔河北，脅從者相率待罪闕下，自大臣陳希烈等合數百人。 During the An-Shi rebellion, puppet officials such as Lu Dajun and others deserted the rebels to submit; when Qingxu fled to Hebei, coerced followers came in succession to the palace gate to await judgment—from Grand Counselor Chen Xilie and others, several hundred in all.

初，史思明、高秀巖等皆自拔歸命，聞珣等被誅，懼不自安，乃復叛。 At first Shi Siming, Gao Xiuyan, and others had all willingly defected and submitted. Hearing that Xun and others had been executed, they feared for their lives and rebelled again.
