事節度使田仁琬、蓋嘉運，未甚任用，後夫蒙靈察累拔擢之。 Under commissioners Tian Renwan and Gai Jiayun he saw little use; Fumeng Lingcha later promoted him again and again.

後節度使田仁琬、蓋嘉運並靈察累討之，不捷，玄宗特敕仙芝以馬步萬人為行營節度使往討之。 Commissioners Tian, Gai, and Lingcha had campaigned against them repeatedly without victory; the emperor then appointed Xianzhi Mobile-Camp Commissioner with ten thousand infantry and cavalry to lead the punitive expedition.
