是時，梁祖自將兵至澤州，以劉知俊為招討使以代思安，以範君實、劉重霸為先鋒，牛存節為撫遏，統大軍營於長子。 Liang's founder marched on Zezhou, replaced Si'an with Liu Zhijun as pacifier, set Fan Junshi and Liu Chongba in the van, Niu Cunjie to hold the rear, and camped a great host at Changzi.

梁將劉知俊自晉、絳將兵赴援，德威退保高平。 Liu Zhijun marched from Jin and Jiang to relieve; Dewei fell back to Gaoping.

天祐六年秋七月，邠、岐二帥及梁之叛將劉知俊俱遣使來告，將大舉以伐靈、夏，兼收關輔，請出兵晉、絳，以張兵勢。 In the seventh month of Tianyou 6 Bin and Qi and Liang's turncoat Liu Zhijun all wrote that they would strike Ling and Xia, retake the passes, and asked Jin and Jiang troops to swell their front.
