先是，北地民支酉聚眾數千，起兵於長安城北石山，遣使告梁州刺史陰智伯，秦州民王廣亦起兵應之，攻執魏刺史劉藻，秦、雍間七州民皆響震，眾至十萬，各守堡壁以待齊救。 Earlier, Zhi You of the Northern Lands gathered several thousand men and raised troops at Stone Mountain north of Chang'an, sending envoys to inform Governor of Liang Province Yin Zhibo; Wang Guang of Qin Province also rose in response, attacked and seized the Wei governor Liu Zao, and the people of the seven provinces between Qin and Yong all echoed the uprising until the force reached one hundred thousand; each held fortified walls and awaited relief from Qi.
