全忠猶屯壽春，延壽以新軍出，每旗五伍為列，遣李厚以十旗擊西偏，不勝，將斬之，厚請益五旗，殊死戰，全忠引去。 Zhu Quanzhong still held Shouchun. Yanshou led out fresh troops in tight five-man squads under each banner and sent Li Hou with ten banners against the western flank. When Hou was beaten, Yanshou was about to execute him—but Hou begged for five more banners, fought desperately, and drove Zhu Quanzhong away.
