先是，李景遣其弟偽齊王達率全軍來援壽州，達留駐濠州，遣其將許文縝、邊鎬、朱元領兵數萬，溯淮而上，至紫金山，設十餘寨，與城內烽火相應。 Earlier Li Jing had sent his brother, the puppet Prince of Qi Da, at the head of the full Southern Tang army to relieve Shouzhou. Da stayed at Haozhou and dispatched Xu Wenzhen, Bian Hao, and Zhu Yuan with tens of thousands of men up the Huai to Purple Gold Mountain, where they pitched more than ten camps linked by beacon fire to the besieged city.
