是夏，李筠以上黨叛，令判官囚監軍周光遜等送於鈞，稱臣求援。 That summer Li Yun rose in rebellion from Shangdang. His registrar imprisoned the army supervisors Zhou Guangxun and others and sent them to Liu Jun; Li Yun declared himself Jun's subject and asked for help.

鈞自至太平驛與筠會，遣其宣徽使盧讚將騎數千隨筠入寇，又遣其河陽節度範守圖援之。 Jun went in person to Taiping Post to meet Li Yun. He sent his Palace Secretariat commissioner Lu Zan with several thousand cavalry to join Yun's raid, and dispatched his Heyang military governor Fan Shoutu as reinforcement.

及太祖親討，前軍石守信、高懷德破筠眾於澤州，獲守圖，殺鈞兵數千。 When Emperor Taizu marched in person, the vanguard under Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide smashed Li Yun's army at Zezhou, took Fan Shoutu prisoner, and killed several thousand of Jun's men.
