徽先與州主簿敦煌令狐整等密謀，執彥於坐，責而縛之； Hui had secretly plotted with the commandery recorder Linghu Zheng of Dunhuang and others; they seized Yan at the seat, reproached and bound him;

初，張保欲殺州主簿令狐整，以其人望，恐失眾心，雖外相敬，內甚忌之。 At first Zhang Bao wished to kill the registrar Linghu Zheng; fearing the man's standing, he feigned respect while nursing deep resentment.

整陽為親附，因使人說保曰：「今東軍漸逼涼州，彼勢孤危，恐不能敵，宜急分精銳以救之。 Zheng feigned loyalty and sent word to Bao: "The eastern army presses Liangzhou; they stand alone and may not hold. Divide your best troops at once to save them.

然成敗在於將領，令狐延保，兼資文武，使將兵以往，蔑不濟矣。」 Victory rides on the general. Linghu Yanbao has civil and martial gifts—send him with the host and you cannot fail."

整行及玉門，召豪傑述保罪狀，馳還襲之。 Zheng reached Yumen Gate, rallied the bold, proclaimed Bao's crimes, and galloped back to strike him.

進擊瓜州，州人素信服整，皆棄保來降，保奔吐谷渾。 then marched on Guazhou; the people had long trusted Zheng, abandoned Bao, and Bao fled to Tuyuhun.

眾議推整為刺史，整曰：「吾屬以張保逆亂，恐闔州之人俱陷不義，故相與討誅之； The assembly would make Zheng inspector. Zheng said, "We rose because Zhang Bao rebelled, lest the whole province sink into crime;

丞相泰以申徽為瓜州刺史，召整為壽昌太守，封襄武男。 Yuwen Tai made Shen Hui inspector of Guazhou, summoned Zheng as governor of Shouchang, and enfeoffed him Baron of Xiangwu.

整帥宗族鄉里三千餘人入朝，從泰征討，累遷驃騎大將軍、開府儀同三司，加侍中。 Zheng led more than three thousand kin and neighbors to court, followed Tai on campaign, and rose to Rapid Cavalry General, Opening the Mansion Equal to the Three Dukes, and Palace Attendant.
