是時，王潮攻陷嶺南，全播攻潮，取其虔、韶二州，又遣光稠弟光睦攻潮州。 Wang Chao had seized Lingnan. Quanbo struck back, took Qian and Shao from him, and sent Guangchou’s brother Guangmu against Chaozhou.

光睦好勇而輕進，全播戒其持重，不聽，度其必敗，乃為奇兵伏其歸路。 Guangmu was brave and reckless. Quanbo told him to keep his weight behind the line; Guangmu ignored him. Quanbo read the defeat coming and hid men on the road home.

光睦果敗走，潮人追之，全播以伏兵邀擊，大敗之，遂取潮州。 Guangmu broke and ran. Chao’s men gave chase. Quanbo sprang the ambush and shattered them, then took Chaozhou.

是時，劉巖起南海，擊走光睦，以兵數萬攻虔州。 Liu Yan was rising on the southern coast. He brushed Guangmu aside and marched tens of thousands of men on Ganzhou.
