王謙作亂益州，遣使致書於長述，因執其使，上其書，又陳取謙之策。 When Wang Qian rose in rebellion in Yizhou, he sent a messenger with a letter to Changshu; Changshu seized the envoy, forwarded the letter to the throne, and submitted a plan for taking Qian.

上大悅，前後賜黃金五百兩，授行軍總管，率眾討謙。 The emperor was delighted, rewarded him with five hundred taels of gold in all, and made him campaign commander to lead forces against Qian.

及王謙作亂，高祖以衍為行軍總管，從梁睿擊平之。 When Wang Qian rebelled, Emperor Wen made Yan campaign commander and he followed Liang Rui to put down the revolt.

旣平王謙，謙恥與逆人同名，因爾稱字。 After Wang Qian's rebellion was crushed, Louqian was ashamed to share a name with the traitor and henceforth used his courtesy name.
