及聞以簽書樞密院召呂頤浩，以禮部尚書召張浚，分張俊兵以五百人歸陝西，而浚不受尚書之命，俊不肯分所部兵，遂謫浚居郴州，擢俊以節度知鳳翔。 When he learned that Lü Yihao had been summoned as deputy director of the Bureau of Military Affairs and Zhang Jun as minister of rites, and that five hundred of a second Zhang Jun's troops were to be sent back to Shaanxi—but the Zhang Jun named minister refused the appointment and the Zhang Jun who held the troops would not divide his forces—the minister was exiled to Chenzhou while the commander was promoted to military commissioner of Fengxiang.
瑴遂遣所親謝嚮變姓名，微服為賈人，徒步如平江見浚等，具言城中事，以為嚴設兵備，大張聲勢，持重緩進，使賊自遁，無驚動三宮，此上策也。 Zheng Jue then sent his confidant Xie Xiang, who assumed another name, dressed as a merchant, and walked to Pingjiang to see Zhang Jun and the others. He reported fully on conditions in the capital and urged them to array their forces carefully, display great strength, and advance deliberately so that the rebels would withdraw on their own without alarming the imperial family—the best course, he said.
