將軍程千里時為副都護，大將軍畢思琛為靈察押衙，行官王滔、康懷順、陳奉忠等，嘗構譖仙芝於靈察。 General Cheng Qianli was deputy protector; Grand General Bi Sichen was Lingcha's chief adjutant; and staff officers Wang Tao, Kang Huaishun, and Chen Fengzhong had once slandered Xianzhi to Lingcha.

又呼王滔等至，捽下將笞，良久皆釋之，由是軍情不懼。 He summoned Wang Tao and the others, had them thrown down for a beating, then after a long while released them — and from that the troops ceased to fear him.
