清泰中，張令昭據鄴叛，殷從範延光討之，首冒矢石，率先登城，以功授祁州刺史，尋改原州。 In the Qingtai period Zhang Lingzhao held Ye in rebellion. Yin marched with Fan Yanguang against him, took the lead under fire, and was the first to scale the walls. For this he was made prefect of Qi Prefecture, and before long was reassigned to Yuan Prefecture.
