屬王景崇叛據岐山，及期不受代，朝廷即命暉為西南面行營都部署，統兵以討之。 Wang Jingchong had rebelled and seized Qishan, and when his term ended he refused to step down. The court promptly named Hui overall commander of the southwestern campaign and sent him with an army to suppress him.

時李守貞叛於蒲，趙思綰據於雍，與景崇皆遞相為援，又引蜀軍出自大散關，勢不可遏。 Li Shouzhen was in revolt at Pu, Zhao Siwan held Yong, and all three rebels supported one another. Shu forces were also brought through Dasan Pass, and the rebellion seemed unstoppable.

自是景崇膽破，不復敢出。 After that Jingchong lost heart and dared not venture out again.
