乾祐初，李守貞叛於河中，太祖征之，朝廷以為侍衛步軍都指揮使，遙領寧江軍節度使，充行營馬步都虞候，命分屯於河西。 Early in the Qianyou era Li Shouzhen rebelled at Hezhong and Taizu marched against him. The court made Ci commander of the palace infantry, military governor of the Ningjiang army in absentia, and chief adjutant of horse and foot for the campaign headquarters, with orders to encamp separately west of the river.

二年正月，守貞遣敢死之士數千，夜入其營。 In the first month of the second year Shouzhen sent several thousand suicide troops who raided Ci's camp by night.

自是守貞喪膽，不復有奔突之意。 From that day Shouzhen lost heart and no longer dared to launch sudden attacks.
