侯官既平。而建安、漢興、南平復亂，齊進兵建安，立都尉府，是歲八年也。郡發屬縣五千兵，各使本縣長將之，皆受齊節度。賊洪明、洪進、苑御、吳免、華當等五人，率各萬戶，連屯漢興，吳五六千戶別屯大潭。鄒臨六千戶別屯蓋竹，大潭同出餘汗。〈音干。〉軍討漢興，經餘汗。齊以為賊眾兵少，深入無繼，恐為所斷，令松陽長丁蕃留備余汗。蕃本與齊鄰城，恥見部伍，辭不肯留。齊乃斬蕃，於是軍中震慄。無不用命。遂分兵留備，進討明等，連大破之。臨陳斬明，其免、當、進、御皆降。轉擊蓋竹，軍向大潭，三將又降。凡討治斬首六千級，名帥盡擒。復立縣邑，料出兵萬人，拜為平東校尉。十年，轉討上饒，分以為建平縣。

Deeds
When He Qi campaigned against Hanxing, he worried that his army would advance too deep into enemy territory and lack sufficient support. He therefore ordered Ding Fan to remain behind and guard Yuhan. Ding Fan, whose city was adjacent to He Qi’s, considered it shameful to be ranked among the troops and refused the order to stay behind. He Qi then executed Ding Fan to establish military authority. (As recorded in historical sources.)
