光啟二年，克修擊邢州，取故鎮，進攻武安，方立將呂臻、馬爽戰焦岡，為克修所破，斬首萬級，執臻等，拔武安、臨洺、邯鄲、沙河。 In 886 Kexiu attacked Xingzhou, recovered the old seat, and pressed on Wu'an; Fangli's generals Lü Zhen and Ma Shuang met him at Jiaogang and were routed—ten thousand heads were taken, Zhen captured, and Wu'an, Linming, Handan, and Shahe fell.
