昶遣張虔釗出大散關，何建出隴右，李廷珪出子午谷，以應思綰。 Chang sent Zhang Qianzhao through Great Scatter Pass, He Jian through the Longyou region, and Li Tinggui through Ziwu Valley to support Sixuan.

已而漢誅思綰、景崇，虔釗等皆罷歸，而思謙恥於無功，多殺士卒以威眾。 Han soon executed Sixuan and Jingchong, and Qianzhao and the others withdrew. Siqian, shamed by his failure, killed many soldiers to intimidate his men.
