明年冬，諸葛爽死，其將劉經推爽子仲方為帥，經懼罕之難製，自引兵鎮洛陽。 The next winter Zhuge Shuang died. His general Liu Jing acclaimed Shuang's son Zhongfang as commander, but, fearing Hanzhi could not be controlled, Liu Jing personally led troops to garrison Luoyang.

罕之進逼河陽，營於鞏縣，陳舟於汜水，將渡，諸葛仲方遣將張言率師拒於河上。 He pressed Heyang from Gong and crossed toward Sishui until Zhang Yan blocked the river.

時仲方年幼，政在劉經，諸將心多不附。 Young Zhongfang was ruled by Liu Jing; the officers were divided.

仲方泛輕舟來奔，孫儒遂自稱節度使。 Zhongfang fled by boat; Sun Ru seized Heyang.

光啟初，爽卒，其子仲方為留後。 Early in Guangqi, Shuang died and his son Zhongfang took over as acting governor.

武皇遣澤州刺史安金俊助之，進攻河陽，劉經、仲方委城奔汴，罕之遂自領河陽，表全義為河南尹。 The Martial Emperor sent An Jinjun, prefect of Zezhou, to help; they attacked Heyang; Liu and Zhongfang abandoned the city for Bian; Hanzhi took Heyang himself and recommended Quanyi as Intendant of Henan.

況全義本出巢賊，敗依河陽節度使諸葛爽，爽用為澤州刺史，及爽死，全義事爽子仲方，即與李罕之同逐仲方，罕之帥河陽，全義為河南尹，未幾，又逐罕之，自據河陽，其翻覆也如此。 Moreover Quanyi had begun among Huang Chao's rebels, then attached himself to Zhuge Shuang of Heyang, who made him prefect of Zezhou; after Shuang's death he served Shuang's son Zhongfang, then with Li Hanzhi expelled Zhongfang; when Hanzhi held Heyang, Quanyi became Intendant of Henan, and soon expelled Hanzhi to seize Heyang himself—so fickle was his course.

爽死，事其子仲方。 Shuang died; he served the son Zhongfang.

仲方為孫儒所逐，全義與李罕之分據河陽、洛陽以附於梁，二人相得甚歡。 Sun Ru drove out Zhongfang. Quanyi and Li Hanzhi split Heyang and Luoyang and came over to Liang. The two were fast friends.
