諸將霍存等十餘人叩頭救珍，太祖大怒，舉胡床擲之曰：「方珍殺唐賓時，獨不救之邪！」 Generals Huo Cun and a dozen others kowtowed to beg for Zhen. Taizu in a rage hurled a camp stool at them and cried: “When Zhen killed Li Tangbin, where were you then!”

存等退，珍遂縊死。 They withdrew; Zhen hanged himself.

是時，朱珍、李唐賓已死，師古與霍存分將其兵。 Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin were already dead; Shigu and Huo Cun split their commands between them.
