及出軍，與頠掎角而進，又紿頠曰「余孝頃欲相掩襲，須分留奇兵，甲仗既少，恐不能濟」。 On campaign he moved in concert with Wei, then lied again: "Yu Xiaoqing means to ambush you—we must keep a hidden reserve; with so little armor I fear we cannot manage."

又謂定曰「周迪、余孝頃並不願此婚，必須以彊兵來迎」。 He told Ding, "Zhou Di and Yu Xiaoqing both oppose this match—you must send a strong escort to fetch the bride."

王琳遣李孝欽等隨余孝頃於臨川攻周迪，曇朗率所領赴援。 Wang Lin sent Li Xiaoqin and others with Yu Xiaoqing to strike Zhou Di at Linchuan; Tanlang marched to their aid.
