言不從，遣進逵與行軍司馬何景真等攻鎬於長沙，鎬敗走。 Yan refused and sent Jinkui with staff officer He Jingzhen and others against Bian Hao at Changsha. Hao was beaten and fled.

進逵謀曰：「言將可用者不過何景真、朱全琇爾，召而殺之，言可取也。」 Jinkui schemed: "Yan's only capable officers are He Jingzhen and Zhu Quanxiu. Summon and kill them, and Yan is yours."

是時，劉晟取楚梧、桂、宜、蒙等州，進逵因白言召景真等會兵攻晟。 Southern Han's Liu Sheng had seized Wu, Gui, Yi, Meng, and other Chu prefectures. Jinkui urged Yan to summon Jingzhen and the rest for a joint campaign against him.

言信之，遣景真、全琇往，至皆見殺，乃舉兵襲武陵，執言殺之，奉表京師，周太祖即以進逵為武平軍節度使。 Yan believed him and sent them out. Both were killed on arrival. Jinkui then struck Wuling, seized and executed Yan, and memorialized the court. Zhou Taizu at once appointed Jinkui military commissioner of Wuping.
