重荣既不肯徙，僖宗遣邠州朱玫、凤翔李昌符讨之。 When Chongrong refused to move, Xizong dispatched Zhu Mei of Bin and Li Changfu of Fengxiang against him.

克用反以兵助重荣，败玫于沙苑，遂犯京师，纵火大掠。 Keyong turned his arms to Chongrong’s side, routed Mei at Shayuan, then stormed the capital, burning and looting the city.

朱玫亦反以兵追天子，不及，得襄王煴，迫之称帝，屯于凤翔。 Zhu Mei rebelled in turn, chased the emperor without catching him, seized Prince of Xiang Li Yun, and proclaimed him emperor at Fengxiang.

僖宗念独克用可以破玫而不能使也，当破黄巢长安时，天下兵马都监杨复恭与克用善，乃遣谏议大夫刘崇望以诏书召克用，且道复恭意，使进兵讨玫等。 Xizong knew only Keyong could crush Mei—and also knew he would not move without persuasion. During the campaign against Huang Chao, Chief Overseer Yang Fugong had befriended him. The court now sent Liu Chongwang with an edict recalling Keyong, repeating Fugong’s appeal, and commanding him to march against Mei.
