黃巢犯闕，博野軍留於鳳翔，時鄭畋理兵於岐下，畋遣文通以本軍敗尚讓之眾於龍尾坡，以功為神策軍指揮使。 When Huang Chao stormed the capital, the Boye Army stayed at Fengxiang; Zheng Tian was then marshaling forces in the Qi region and sent Wentong with his own troops to rout Shang Rang at Longwei Slope, for which he was appointed commander of the Shence Army.
