東魏洛州刺史韓賢以狀聞，鄴乃遣其軍司慕容紹宗率兵與賢合勢討雄。 Han Xian, Eastern Wei's governor of Luo province, reported the situation to the capital; Ye sent its army commander Murong Shaozong with troops to join Xian in suppressing Xiong.

戰數十合，雄兵略盡，兄及妻子皆為賢所獲，將以為戮。 After dozens of clashes Xiong's force was nearly spent; Xian captured his elder brother, wife, and children and prepared to execute them.

於是，遂詣賢軍，卽隨賢還洛。 With that he went to Xian's camp and returned with him to Luoyang.

乃潛引賢黨，謀欲襲之。 He secretly won over some of Xian's followers and plotted a surprise attack.
