天祐十二年三月,梁魏博節度使賀德倫遣使奉幣乞盟。
In the third month of Tianyou 12 He Delun of Weibo sent envoys with gifts to sue for peace.
時楊師厚卒於魏州,梁主乃割相、衛、澶三州別為一鎮,以德倫為魏博節度使,以張筠為相州節度使,魏人不從。
Yang Shihou had just died at Weizhou; the Liang ruler split Xiang, Wei, and Chan into a separate circuit, made Delun commissioner of Weibo and Zhang Jun commissioner of Xiang, and the Wei troops refused to submit.
是月二十九日夜,魏軍作亂,囚德倫於牙署,三軍大掠。
On the twenty-ninth night of that month the Wei army mutinied, locked Delun in headquarters, and the host looted the city.
軍士有張彥者,素實凶暴,為亂軍之首,迫德倫上章請卻復六州之地,梁主不從,遂迫德倫歸於帝,且乞師為援。
A soldier named Zhang Yan, brutal by nature, led the mutiny; he made Delun petition for the six prefectures back, and when the Liang Founder refused he drove Delun to the Emperor and asked for an army.
賀德倫遣從事司空頲至軍,密啟張彥狂勃之狀,且曰:「若不剪此亂階,恐貽後悔。」
Delun sent his aide Sikong Yan in secret to report Zhang Yan's violence and say, "Unless this trouble is rooted out, we will regret it."
六月庚寅朔,帝入魏州,賀德倫上符印,請帝兼領魏州,帝從之。
On gengyin, the first of the sixth month, he entered Weizhou; Delun handed over his seals and asked him to take the circuit, and he agreed.
墨製授德倫大同軍節度,令取便路赴任。
An ink edict made Delun commissioner of Datong and sent him to his post by the nearest road.
