皓話玄名聲，復徙玄及子據，付交阯將張奕，使以戰自效，陰別敕奕令殺之。據到交阯，病死。玄一身隨亦討賊，持刀步涉，見亦輒拜，亦未忍殺。會亦暴卒，玄殯斂亦，於器中見敕書，還便自殺。〈江表傳曰：皓遣將張奕追賜玄鴆，奕以玄賢者，不忍即宣詔致藥，玄陰知之，謂奕曰：「當早告玄，玄何惜邪？」即服藥死。臣松之以玄之清高，必不以安危易操，无緣驟拜張奕，以虧其節。且祸機既發，豈百拜所免？江表傳所言，於理為長。〉

Deeds
Sun Hao had Lou Xuan and his son Ju transferred to Jiaozhi and placed in Zhang Yi’s charge, secretly ordering him to kill Lou Xuan. After Ju arrived in Jiaozhi, he died of illness. Lou Xuan followed Zhang Yi on a campaign against bandits, walking with a knife in hand. Whenever he saw Zhang Yi, he bowed to him, and Zhang Yi could not bring himself to kill him (according to the historical record).
Zhang Yi died suddenly. While preparing his funeral, Lou Xuan found a secret edict among his belongings and, after returning, killed himself. The Jiangbiao Zhuan, cited by Pei Songzhi, gives another account: Zhang Yi later sent Lou Xuan poisoned wine, and Lou Xuan, learning of this, took medicine and died (according to the historical record).
