同州劉知俊叛，奔鳳翔，乃遷存節匡國軍節度使。 Liu Zhijun of Tongzhou rebelled and fled to Fengxiang; Cunjie was sent to govern the Kuangguo Army.

同州水咸而無井，知俊叛梁，以渴不能守而走，故友謙與岐兵合圍持久，欲以渴疲之，存節禱而擇地鑿井八十，水皆甘可食，友謙卒不能下。 Tongzhou’s water was brackish and there were no wells; Zhijun had fled Liang because thirst broke him—so Youqian and the Qi army settled in for a long siege to starve them of water; Cunjie prayed, chose ground, and sunk eighty wells—all sweet; Youqian never took the city.
