鄧季筠，宋州下邑人也。 Deng Jiyun came from Xiayi in Songzhou.

及太祖鎮汴，首署為牙將，主騎軍。 When the Founder held Bian he made Jiyun a personal guard officer commanding the cavalry.

唐大順初，唐帝命丞相張浚伐太原，太祖奉詔出師，西至高平，與晉人接戰，軍既不利，季筠為晉人所擒。 Early in Dashun of Tang, the emperor sent Chancellor Zhang Jun against Taiyuan; the Founder marched west to Gaoping, was beaten, and Jiyun was captured by the Jin.

季筠在並門凡四稔。 Jiyun stayed at Taiyuan four years.

景福二年，晉軍攻邢台，季筠領偏師預其役，將及邢，邢人陣於郊，兩軍酣戰之際，季筠出陣，飛馬來歸； In Jingfu 2 the Jin besieged Xingtai; Jiyun led a flank corps; as the armies fought outside Xing he broke from the line and galloped back to the Founder;

時初置廳子都，最為親軍，命季筠主之，旋改統親騎，又遷將中軍。 He then formed the Hall Sons—the Founder's closest guard—and put Jiyun in command, soon made him head of the intimate cavalry and then of the central army.

登州舊無羅城，及季筠至郡，率丁壯以築之，民甚安之，因相與立碑以頌其績。 Dengzhou had no outer wall; Jiyun raised labor to build one, the people were secure, and they set up a stele to praise him.

時並人寇平陽，季筠接戰於洪洞，大克，拜華州防禦使。 When the Jin raided Pingyang he routed them at Hongdong and was made defense commissioner of Huazhou.

柏鄉之役，季筠臨陣前卻，太祖亦未之罪。 At Bai Bridge Jiyun pulled back in the fighting, yet the Founder did not punish him.

乾化二年春，太祖親伐鎮、定，駐於相州，因閱馬，怒其馬瘦，與魏博軍校何令稠、陳令勳同斬於纛下。 In spring of Qianhua 2 the Founder attacked Zhen and Ding and halted at Xiangzhou; reviewing the horses, he found them lean and beheaded Jiyun with the Weibo officers He Lingchou and Chen Lingxun beneath his banner.
