霍彥威統關西、汝、洛之眾自相衛以寇鎮定，段凝、杜晏球領大軍以當陛下，令王彥章、張漢傑統禁軍以攻鄆州，決取十月內大舉。 Huo Yanwei would take Guanxi, Ru, and Luo from Xiangwei against Zhen and Ding; Ning and Du Yanqiu would face Your Majesty; Yanzhang and Zhang Hanjie would lead the palace guard on Yanzhou—the grand stroke was set for before the tenth month ended.
