洎契丹內寇，戰於膠口，進獨追擒六十七人，時漢祖總侍衛親軍，知其驍果，擢為馬前親校。 When the Khitans invaded and battle was joined at Jiaokou, Jin alone pursued and captured sixty-seven men. The founder of Later Han then commanded the imperial guard; recognizing Jin's valor, he promoted him to personal attendant before his horse.

漢祖鎮河東，或邊上警急，令進賫封章達於闕下，自並至汴，不六七日復焉，由是恩撫頗厚。 When the Han founder held Hedong and border emergencies arose, he had Jin carry sealed memorials to the capital. From Bing to Bian and back took no more than six or seven days, and from this he won substantial favor.
