文詔乃與遊擊左光先、崔宗蔭、李國奇分剿綏德、宜君、清澗、米脂賊，戰懷寧川、黑泉峪、封家溝、綿湖峪，皆大捷，掃地王授首。 Wenzhao then split his guerrilla commanders Zuo Guangxian, Cui Zongyin, and Li Guoqi against rebels in Suide, Yijun, Qingjian, and Mizhi. Victories at Huaining River, Heiquan Ravine, Fengjia Gully, and Mianhu Ravine followed, and the rebel called Sweeping-Earth King lost his head.
