天和中，陳湘州刺史華皎舉州來附，詔直督綏德公陸通、大將軍田弘、權景宣、元定等兵赴援，與陳將淳于量、吳明徹等戰於沌口。 During Tianhe (566–572), Chen Xiangzhou governor Hua Jiao brought his province over to Zhou; an edict ordered Yuwen Zhi to supervise Suide Duke Lu Tong, grand generals Tian Hong, Quan Jingxuan, Yuan Ding, and others in marching to the relief, and they fought Chen generals Chunyu Liang, Wu Mingche, and others at Dun mouth.

尋進位柱國，出為秦州總管，轉陝州總管，督鴈門公田弘拔齊宜陽等九城。 Soon advanced to pillar-of-state; he went out as commander-in-chief of Qinzhou, transferred to Shanzhou, and supervised Yanmen Duke Tian Hong in capturing nine Qi cities including Yiyang.
