四年秋，李穆攻拔軹關、柏崖二鎮，命愷作露布，帝讀之大悅，曰：「盧愷文章大進，荀景倩故是令君之子。」 In the autumn of the fourth year, Li Mu took the garrisons at Zhiguan and Baiya. Kai was ordered to write the victory proclamation. The emperor read it with delight and said, "Lu Kai's writing has improved greatly. It is no wonder—Xun Jingqian was ever the son of a worthy father."
