為劉仁恭騎將，仁恭為其子守光所囚，知裕去事守光兄守文。 He rode for Liu Rengong until Rengong’s son Shouguang imprisoned him; Zhiyu then served the elder brother Shouwen.

守光又攻殺守文，乃與張萬進立守文子延祚而事之。 Shouguang killed Shouwen too. Zhiyu and Zhang Wanjin set up Shouwen’s son Yanzuo and served him.

守光又殺廷祚，以其子繼威代之。 Shouguang killed Yanzuo as well and put his own son Jiewei in his place.
