梁將鄩聞帝至，以精兵萬人自洹水趣魏縣，帝命李存審帥師禦之，帝率親軍於魏縣西北，夾河為柵。 Liang Liu Xun, hearing the Emperor was near, took ten thousand picked men from Huanshui toward Weixian; the Emperor sent Cunshen to block him and camped his guard northwest of the city, palisading both banks.

南通劉鄩，又與滄州首尾相應，聞德州無備，遣別將襲之，遂拔其城。 he was tied to Liu Xun in the south and to Cangzhou; learning Dezhou was undefended, he sent a detachment and took it.

是日陰晦，劉鄩伏兵五千於河南叢木間。 The day was dark; Liu Xun had five thousand men in ambush among the trees south of the river.
