而東軍至龍駒河為阻珝所圍，三日不得出，求援甚急，或請俟諸軍集乃發。 The eastern force reached the Longju River and was surrounded by the Zuxu. Trapped for three days, it sent urgent appeals for help. Some urged waiting until the full army had gathered.

十月，阻珝複叛，襄出屯北京，會群牧契丹德壽、陀鎖等據信州叛，偽建元曰身聖，眾號數十萬，遠近震駭。 In the tenth month the Zuxu rebelled again, and Xiang marched out to encamp at Beijing. At the same time the Khitan herding-office leaders Deshou and Tuosuo seized Xinzhou, declared a reign title of Shensheng, and claimed an army of hundreds of thousands, throwing the region into alarm.

時議北討，襄奏遣同判大睦親府事宗浩出軍泰州，又請左丞衡於撫州行樞密院，出軍西北路以邀阻珝，而自帥兵出臨潢。 As a northern campaign was debated, Xiang proposed sending Zonghao, Deputy Director of the Great Closer-of-Kin Office, to lead troops from Taizhou; sending Left Vice Minister Heng to establish a mobile Military Affairs Commission at Fuzhou to march Northwest Circuit forces to intercept the Zuxu; and leading his own army out from Linhuang.
