友珪立，朱友謙叛附於晉，西連鳳翔，存節東西受敵。 When Yougui seized the throne, Zhu Youqian defected to Jin and tied west to Fengxiang; Cunjie was squeezed from both directions.

同州水咸而無井，知俊叛梁，以渴不能守而走，故友謙與岐兵合圍持久，欲以渴疲之，存節禱而擇地鑿井八十，水皆甘可食，友謙卒不能下。 Tongzhou’s water was brackish and there were no wells; Zhijun had fled Liang because thirst broke him—so Youqian and the Qi army settled in for a long siege to starve them of water; Cunjie prayed, chose ground, and sunk eighty wells—all sweet; Youqian never took the city.
