及尉迥作亂，子幹與宇文司錄從韋孝寬討之．遇賊圍懷州，子幹與宇文述等擊破之．高祖大悅，手書曰：「逆賊尉迥，敢遣蟻眾，作寇懷州．公受命誅討，應機蕩滌，聞以嗟贊，不易可言．丈夫富貴之秋，正在今日，善建功名，以副朝望也．」其後每戰先登，及破鄴城，與崔弘度逐迥至樓上．進位上開府，封武川縣公，邑三千戶，以思安縣伯別封子皎． When Yuchi Jiong rebelled, Zigan and the registrar Yuwen Shu followed Wei Xiaokuan to suppress him. When the rebels besieged Huaizhou, Zigan and Yuwen Shu and others broke the siege. Gaozu was delighted and wrote in his own hand: “The traitor Yuchi Jiong dared send an ant-like swarm against Huaizhou. You took command and swept them away as the moment required—I can hardly find words for my admiration. A man’s season of wealth and honor is now; build your merit to answer the court’s hopes.” After that he was first over the wall in every fight. When Ye fell, he and Cui Hongdu chased Jiong to the top of a tower. He was promoted to superior director of the bureau, enfeoffed as duke of Wuchuan with three thousand households, and his son Jiao was separately given the earldom of Si’an.

尉迥之亂也，萬歲從梁士彥擊之．軍次馮翊，見群雁飛來，萬歲謂士彥曰：「請射行中第三者．」既射之，應弦而落，三軍莫不悅服．及與迥軍相遇，每戰先登，鄴城之陣，官軍稍卻，萬歲謂左右曰：「事急矣，吾當破之．」於是馳馬奮擊，殺數十人，眾亦齊力，官軍乃振．及迥平，以功拜上大將軍． During Yuchi Jiong’s rebellion Wansui followed Liang Shiyan. The army halted at Fengyi when a flock of wild geese flew past. Wansui said to Shiyan, “Let me shoot the third bird in the line.” He loosed his arrow and it fell at the twang; the whole army marveled. Whenever they met Jiong’s forces he was first over the wall. Before Ye City the imperial troops began to falter. Wansui told his men, “This is urgent—I will break them.” He spurred his horse and struck, killing dozens; his men rallied with him and the army recovered its nerve. When Jiong was subdued, Wansui was made grand general of the first rank for his merit.

劉方，京兆長安人也．性剛決，有膽氣．仕周承御上士，尋以戰功，拜上儀同．高祖為丞相，方從韋孝寬破尉迥於相州，以功加開府，賜爵河陰縣侯，邑八百戶．高祖受禪，進爵為公．開皇三年，從衛王爽破突厥於白道，進位大將軍．其後歷甘、瓜二州刺史，尚未知名． Liu Fang came from Chang’an in Jingzhao. Firm and resolute by nature, he had real courage. Under Zhou he was senior attendant of the imperial carriage and soon, for battle merit, director with equal standing of the first rank. When Gaozu was chancellor, Fang followed Wei Xiaokuan in defeating Yuchi Jiong at Xiangzhou, was given the rank of director of the bureau, and enfeoffed as marquis of Heyin with eight hundred households. When Gaozu took the throne he was advanced to duke. In the third year of Kaihuang he followed Prince Shuang of Wei in defeating the Turks at Baidao and was promoted to grand general. He later served as governor of Gan and Gua but was not yet widely known.
