求暴病死，其將李彥圖自立，全播益懼，遂稱疾篤，杜門自絕。 Qiu died in a sudden fit of violence. His officer Li Yantu made himself chief. Quanbo, more afraid than ever, declared himself dying, barred his gate, and vanished from sight.

彥圖疑之，使人覘其動靜，全播應覘為狀以自免。 Yantu did not trust the act and sent watchers. Quanbo played sick for them until they believed him.

彥圖死，州人相率詣全播第，扣門請之，全播乃起，遣使請命於梁，拜防禦使。 Yantu died. The townspeople mobbed Quanbo’s gate and begged him to rule. Quanbo came out, sent word to Liang, and was made defense commissioner.
