張晊攻汴，存節破其二寨。 When Zhang Zhi struck at Bian, Cunjie smashed two of his camps.

張晊軍赤岡，以騎兵挑戰，矢中歸霸，歸霸拔之，反以射賊，一發而斃，奪其馬而歸。 At Chigang Zhang Zhi’s cavalry challenged; an arrow hit Guiba; he pulled it out, fired back, dropped his man with one shot, took his horse, and rode home.

使以弓手五百人伏湟中，太祖以騎數百為遊兵，過晊柵，晊出兵追太祖，歸霸發伏，殺晊兵千人，奪馬數十匹。 He hid five hundred archers in the Huang reed beds; Taizu rode out with a few hundred cavalry as bait; passing Zhang Zhi’s palisade, Zhi sent men after him; Guiba sprung the trap, killed a thousand, and took dozens of horses.

張晊屯赤岡，歸厚與晊獨戰陣前，晊憊而却，諸將乘之，晊遂大敗。 Zhang Zhi held Chigang; Guihou met him alone in front of the lines; Zhi tired and fell back; the other generals piled on and Zhi was routed.
