王琳東下,世祖征南川兵,江州刺史周迪、高州刺史黃法𣰋欲沿流應赴,曇朗乃據城列艦斷遏,迪等與法𣰋因帥南中兵築城圍之,絕其與琳信使。 When Wang Lin marched east, Emperor Wen summoned troops from the southern rivers. Zhou Di, Inspector of Jiangzhou, and Huang Fading, Inspector of Gaozhou, meant to sail with the current and answer the call, but Tanlang occupied the city and arrayed ships to block them. Di and Fading then led southern troops to fortify and besiege him, cutting off his couriers to Lin.
