先是，恒留濟南於鄴，除領軍厙狄伏連為幽州刺史，以斛律豐樂為領軍，以分武成之權。 Before this, the Prince of Ji'nan had always been kept at Ye; Kudi Fulian was made governor of You Province, and Hulu Fengle was made commander of the army — both to divide Gao Zhan's power.

武成留伏連而不聽豐樂視事。 Gao Zhan kept Fulian but would not allow Fengle to assume his duties.

今集文武，示以此勑，執豐樂，斬歸彥，尊濟南，號令天下，以順討逆，此萬世一時也。」 Now gather the civil and military officials, display this edict, seize Fengle, behead Guiyan, honor the Prince of Ji'nan, and proclaim to the realm — with righteousness to punish rebellion, this would be a once-in-ten-thousand-generations opportunity."
