萧大心同意了他的建议，便派遣中兵柳昕率领二千人马跟随韦粲一同前去。韦粲到达南洲时，他的表弟司州刺史柳仲礼也率领一万多步兵、骑兵到了横江。韦粲于是把粮食、武器提供给柳仲礼，并且把自己的金银、绢帛散发给柳仲礼的士兵用来奖赏他们。
大心然之，遣中兵柳昕帅兵二千人随粲，粲至南洲，外弟司州刺史柳仲礼亦帅步骑万馀人至横江，粲即送粮仗赡给之，并散私金帛以赏其战士。
Xiao Daxin adopted his suggestion, and dispatched lieutenant-general Liu Xin to lead 2,000 men and horses and follow Wei Can to go together. When Wei Can reached Nanzhou, his cousin, Governor of Sizhou, Liu Zhongli, and led more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry to Hengheng River. Wei Can then provided food and weapons to Liu Zhongli, and used his own gold and silver and silk to reward Liu Zhongli's soldiers.
