甲戌,江南國主李景遣泗州牙將王知朗賫書一函至滁州,本州以聞,書稱唐皇帝奉書於大周皇帝,其略云:「願陳兄事,永奉鄰歡,設或俯鑒遠圖,下交小國,悉班卒乘,俾乂蒼黔,慶雞犬之相聞,奉瓊瑤以為好,必當歲陳山澤之利,少助軍旅之須。 On jiaxu Li Jing of Jiangnan sent Adjutant Wang Zhilang to Chuzhou with a letter addressed from the Tang Emperor to the Emperor of Great Zhou, in summary: "We wish to declare brotherly relations and forever maintain neighborly amity. If you would deign to regard our distant design and condescend to deal with our small state, we would deploy all our soldiers and chariots to bring peace to the black-haired people, rejoice that cock and dog call to one another across the border, and offer jade and treasures in friendship; we would surely present each year the products of mountain and marsh to aid somewhat the needs of your army.
壬午,江南國主李景遣其臣偽翰林學士戶部侍郎鐘謨、偽工部侍郎文理院學士李德明等奉表來上,敘願依大國稱臣納貢之意,仍進金器千兩,錦綺綾羅二千匹及禦衣、犀帶、茶茗、藥物等,又進犒軍牛五百頭,酒二千石。 On renwu Li Jing sent Zhong Mo, Li Deming, and other envoys with a memorial offering vassalage and tribute to Great Zhou: a thousand liang of gold vessels, two thousand bolts of silks, imperial robes, rhinoceros belts, tea, medicines, five hundred oxen, and two thousand shi of wine for the troops.
