先是，岐、隴賊郭愔等掠州縣，峙五堡，光遠至，遣官喻降之。 Earlier, the Qishan and Longyou bandits Guo Yin and others had plundered prefectures and counties and held five fortified camps; when Guangyuan arrived, he sent officials to persuade them to surrender.

既而沈飲不親事，愔等陰約党項及奴剌、突厥，敗韋倫於秦、隴，殺監軍使。 Later he sank into drink and neglected affairs; Yin and the rest secretly allied with the Tangut, Nulu, and Turks, defeated Wei Lun in Qin and Long, and killed the army supervisor.
