〈《英雄記》曰：劉焉起兵，不與天下討董卓，保州自守。〈The Record of Heroes states: Liu Yan mobilized his forces but refused to march with the coalition against Dong Zhuo, holding Yizhou for himself.

董卓使司徒趙謙將兵向州，說校尉賈龍，使引兵還擊焉，焉出青羌與戰，故能破殺。 Dong Zhuo dispatched Minister Zhao Qian against the province and won over Colonel Jia Long, turning him against Liu Yan. Yan answered with Qingqiang auxiliaries and so crushed the attack.

父焉為益州牧，董卓所徵發，皆不至。 He learned that his father was governor of Yizhou and that none of Dong Zhuo’s summons had been obeyed.

收范兄弟三人，鎖械於郿塢，為陰獄以系之。〉 Dong Zhuo clapped all three brothers in irons at the Mei bastion and locked them in a secret cell.
