景使其儀同范桃棒嚴禁之，昕因說桃棒令率所領歸降，襲殺王偉、宋子仙爲信。 Jing had his officer Fan Taobang guard him closely. Xin persuaded Taobang to lead his men in surrender and kill Wang Wei and Song Zixian as proof of good faith.

桃棒許之，遂盟約，射啓城中，遣昕夜縋而入。 Taobang agreed. They sealed a pact, shot a message into the city, and sent Xin in by rope at night.

景邀得之，乃逼昕令更射書城中，云「桃棒且輕將數十人先入。」 Jing caught him and forced him to shoot another message into the city: "Taobang will send only a few dozen men inside first."
