太祖為元帥，初開府，而李周彝以鄜州降，以為左司馬，擇右司馬難其人，及得道昭，乃授之。 When Taizu became commander-in-chief and first opened headquarters, Li Zhouyi surrendered Yan Prefecture and was made Left Chief of Staff. A worthy Right Chief of Staff was hard to find; when Daozhao came forward, he received the post.

道昭為將，勇於犯敵而少成筭，每戰先發，多敗，而周彝等繼之乃勝。 Daozhao fought boldly but planned poorly; he always struck first, often lost, and only when Zhouyi and others followed did the day turn.
