十一月，嗣昭合燕軍三萬進攻潞州，降丁會，武皇乃以嗣昭為昭義節度使。 In the eleventh month Sizhao combined with thirty thousand Yan troops to attack Luzhou. Ding Hui surrendered, and the Martial Emperor appointed Sizhao military commissioner of Zhaoyi.

未幾，丁會既降，嗣昭領兵入潞，以媼家四面空缺，乃駐於是舍。 Soon afterward, when Ding Hui surrendered, Sizhao entered Lu with his army. The old woman's house stood open on every side, and he made his headquarters there.

丁會既歸太原，武皇遣使命嗣昭為帥，乃自媼舍而入理所，其氣尋息，聞者異之。 After Ding Hui returned to Taiyuan, the Martial Emperor confirmed Sizhao as commander. Sizhao moved from the old woman's house into the official residence, and the strange vapor soon faded. All who heard of it were astonished.
