In the spring and Autumn period, Liuxia village at the junction of Qi and Lu became the source of war. In order to evade military service, zhanzhi organized troops to capture Qiyang City, and then occupied Zhucheng city. The team expanded to 9000 people.

They slandered him as a robber, saying that he "killed every day, killed every human being, and was tyrannical.".
