契丹騎兵數萬圍高行周於鐵邱，諸將莫敢當其鋒，彥卿獨引數百騎擊之，遼人遁去，行周得免。 Tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry besieged Gao Xingzhou at Tieqiu. None of the generals dared meet their charge, but Yanqing alone led several hundred horsemen against them. The Liao forces fled, and Xingzhou was saved.

及杜重威以大軍降於滹水，急詔彥卿與高行周領禁兵屯澶淵。 When Du Chongwei surrendered the main army at the Hutuo River, urgent orders summoned Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou to lead palace troops to encamp at Chanyuan.

會彥澤引遼兵入汴，彥卿與行周遂歸遼。 When Zhang Yanze led Liao troops into Bian, Yanqing and Xingzhou thereupon submitted to the Liao.
