初，王仙芝起河南，攜表宋威、齊克讓、曾袞皆善將，為招討使。 When Wang Xianzhi rose in Henan, Xie memorialized that Song Wei, Qi Kerang, and Zeng Gun were skilled generals and should be suppression commissioners.

及威殺尚君長，賊熾結，益不制，乃以王鐸鎮荊南，為諸道都統。 When Wei killed Shang Junzhang the rebels grew fiercer and less controllable; Wang Duo was stationed at Jingnan as overall commander of all circuits.
