顯德二年冬，世宗命宰臣李穀為淮南道軍都部署，乃詔延遇為先鋒都校。 In the winter of the second year of Xiande Shizong appointed Chief Minister Li Gu overall commander of the Huainan army and made Yanyu vanguard colonel.

四年夏，世宗回自壽春，制以延遇為同州節度使，未赴任，復命帥眾南征。 In the summer of the fourth year, when Shizong returned from Shouchun, an edict made Yanyu military governor of Tong Prefecture. Before he could take up the post he was ordered south again at the head of his troops.
