三年秋，契丹高牟翰詐以瀛州降，復以重威為北面行營招討使。 In the autumn of the third year, the Khitan commander Gao Muhann falsely offered to surrender Yingzhou, and Zhongwei was again made northern campaign commissioner.

重威至瀛州，牟翰已棄城去，重威退屯武強。 Zhongwei reached Yingzhou, but Muhann had already abandoned the city and left. Zhongwei withdrew and encamped at Wuqiang.
