劉武周起，以為偏將，與宋金剛南侵，陷晉、澮二州。 When Liu Wuzhou rebelled, Jingde served him as a deputy general; marching south with Song Jingang, they seized Jin and Hui prefectures.

武德三年，太宗討武周於柏壁，武周令敬德與宋金剛來拒王師於介休。 In Wude year 3, when the Prince of Qin attacked Wuzhou at Baibi, Wuzhou sent Jingde and Song Jingang to block the imperial army at Jiexiu.

既而尋相與武周下降將皆叛，諸將疑敬德必叛，囚於軍中。 Soon Xun Xiang and other former Liu Wuzhou officers rebelled; the Tang generals assumed Jingde would follow and threw him in chains.
