從李罕之以潞州叛晉降梁，罕之遣源德見梁太祖。 He followed Li Hanzhi when Hanzhi rebelled at Luzhou and surrendered to Liang; Hanzhi sent Yuande to Emperor Taizu of Liang.

太祖時，源德自金吾衛將軍為蔡州刺史。 Under Taizu, Yuande rose from General of the Imperial Insignia Guard to prefect of Cai.

劉旻攻晉州，州無主帥，知州王萬敢不能拒，彥超以戍兵堅守月餘，太祖遣王峻救之，旻兵解去。 Liu Min attacked Jinzhou; there was no commander; Prefect Wang Wangan could not hold; Yanchao held a month until Wang Jun relieved him and Min withdrew.
