乃以王松、趙上交為左右丞相，李式、翟光鄴為樞密使，燕將劉祚為侍衛親軍都指揮使。 She made Wang Song and Zhao Shangjiao left and right chancellors, Li Shi and Zhai Guangye commissioners of military affairs, and the Yan general Liu Zuo commander of the palace guard.

漢高祖擁兵而南，從益遣人召高行周、武行德等為拒，行周等皆不至，乃與王松謀以燕兵閉城自守。 Han Gaozu marched south; Congyi summoned Gao Xingzhou, Wu Xingde, and others to resist, but none came. He and Wang Song then planned to shut the gates and hold the city with Yan troops.
