貞明四年冬，滑州節度使賀瑰為北面招討使，彥章為排陣使，同領大軍，駐於行台寨，與晉人對壘。 Zhenming 4 winter he and He Gui camped at Xingtai against the Jin army.

是時咸謂賀瑰能將步軍，彥章能領騎士，既名聲相軋，故瑰心忌之。 He Gui resented Yanzhang because both were famed commanders.

一日，與瑰同設伏於郊外，瑰指一方地謂彥章曰：「此地岡阜隆起，中央坦夷，好列柵之所。」 One day Gui pointed at a plot of ground and told Yanzhang, "This mound rises and the center is level—good for setting palisades."

尋而晉人舍之，故瑰疑彥章與晉人通； Jin avoided it; Gui suspected Yanzhang of collusion;

又瑰欲速戰，彥章欲持重以老敵人，瑰益疑之。 Gui wanted battle; Yanzhang wanted delay; suspicion grew.

會為行營馬步都虞候朱珪所誣，瑰遂與珪邦協謀，因享士伏甲以殺彥章及濮州刺史孟審澄、別將侯溫裕等於軍，以謀叛聞。 Zhu Gui slandered him; at a feast Gui ambushed and killed Yanzhang, Meng Shencheng, and Hou Wenyu as traitors.
