《通鑒》：七月，岐王與邠涇二帥各遣使告晉，請合兵攻定難節度使李仁福，晉王遣振武節度使周德威將兵會之，合五萬眾，圍夏州。《Zizhi Tongjian》 records: In the seventh month the Prince of Qi and the Bin and Jing governors asked Jin for a joint attack on Li Renfu of Dingnan; the Prince of Jin sent Zhou Dewei of Zhenwu with fifty thousand men to besiege Xia.

初，劉知俊誘沙陀振武賊帥周德威、涇原賊帥李繼鸞合步騎五萬大舉，欲俯拾夏台，節度使李仁福兵力俱乏，以急來告。 Zhijun had drawn Shatuo Zhou Dewei of Zhenwu and Li Jiluan of Jingyuan with fifty thousand horse and foot, thinking Xia would fall at a touch; Li Renfu was spent and cried for help.

既而大兵圍合，廷隱、漢玫與指揮使張初、李君用率州民防卒，與仁福部分固守，晝夜戮力逾月。 The host soon encircled the city; Tingyin, Hanmei, Zhang Chu, Li Junyong, militia and garrison fought with Renfu for more than a month without rest.
