是時漢使大農張成、故山州侯齒將屯，弗敢擊，卻就便處，皆坐畏懦誅。 At that time, the Han court had placed the Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhang Cheng and the former Marquis of Shanzhou, Chi, in command of the garrisons, but neither dared engage the enemy. They withdrew to safer positions, and both were later executed for cowardice.
