景將宋子仙進攻錢塘，會海鹽人陸黯舉義，有衆數千人，夜出襲郡，殺偽太守蘇單于，推襄行郡事。 Jing's general Song Zixian advanced to attack Qiantang; at that time Lu An of Haiyan raised righteous arms with a host of several thousand men, sallied out by night to strike the commandery, killed the false administrator Su Danyu, and pushed Xiang to act in commandery affairs.

時淮南太守文成侯蕭寧逃賊入吳，襄遣迎寧爲盟主，遣黯及兄子映公帥衆拒子仙。 At the time, Xiao Ning, Administrator of Huainan and Marquis Wencheng, fled the rebels and entered Wu. Xiang welcomed him as leader of the alliance, then sent Lu An and Xiang's nephew Yinggong to lead the troops against Song Zixian.

子仙聞兵起，乃退還，與黯等戰於松江，黯敗走，吳下軍聞之，亦各奔散。 Zixian heard that troops had risen and then retreated; he fought with An and others at Song River; An was defeated and fled, and the armies below Wu, hearing of it, likewise each scattered and fled.
