〈（《宋史·李萬超傳》：史宏肇路經澤州，刺史翟令奇堅壁拒命。 (The Song History biography of Li Wanchao adds that when Shi Hongzhao marched through Ze, Prefect Zhai Lingqi held the walls and defied him.)

萬超馳至城下，諭之曰：「今契丹北遁，天下無主，并州劉公，仗大義，定中土，所向風靡，後服者族，盍早圖之。」 Wanchao rode to the foot of the walls and urged him: 'The Khitan have withdrawn north; the empire has no ruler. Liu of Bingzhou acts in the name of righteousness to pacify the heartland, and resistance crumbles before him. Latecomers face extinction of their clans—why not decide now?'

令奇乃開門迎納，宏肇即留萬超權州事。）〉 Thereupon Lingqi opened the gates and admitted them, and Hongzhao left Wanchao in temporary charge of the prefecture.)〉
