時蜀王秀鎮益州，上征之，猶豫未發。 Prince of Shu Xiu was then stationed in Yizhou; the emperor summoned him, but Xiu hesitated to set out.

朝廷恐秀生變，拜楷益州總管，馳傳代之。 Fearing Xiu might rebel, the court appointed Kai regional commander of Yizhou and sent him post-haste to replace him.

秀果有異志，楷諷諭久之，乃就路。 Xiu did harbor rebellious intent; Kai admonished him at length before he finally set out for the capital.

楷察秀有悔色，因勒兵為備。 Seeing regret on Xiu's face, Kai kept his troops under arms as a precaution.

秀至興樂，去益州四十餘裡，將反襲楷，密令左右覘所為，知楷不可犯而止。 At Xingle, still more than forty li from Yizhou, Xiu was about to turn and attack Kai; he sent men to spy on him, found Kai too formidable to challenge, and gave up the plan.
