還至霸陵亭，霸陵尉醉，呵止廣。 On the way back, when they reached the Baling postal station, the duty officer, who was drunk, shouted at Guang to halt.

尉曰：「今將軍尚不得夜行，何乃故也！」 The commandant said, "Even a current general may not travel at night. How much less an old one!"

廣即請霸陵尉與俱，至軍而斬之。 Guang immediately requested that the Baling duty officer accompany him to his post, and upon reaching the army, had the man beheaded.
