河平中，單于來朝，上使伯持節迎於塞下。 During the Heping reign the Chanyu visited the capital, and the emperor dispatched Ban Bo with an imperial staff to greet him just inside the frontier.

上遣侍中中郎將王舜馳傳代伯護單于，并奉璽書印綬，即拜伯為定襄太守。 The court therefore sent Wang Shun galloping with the imperial insignia to relieve Ban Bo of the reception duty and invest him on the spot as governor of Dingxiang.
