是月甲午，新州將盧文進殺節度使李存矩，叛入契丹，遂引契丹之眾寇新州。 On jiawu that month Lu Wenjin of Xin killed commissioner Li Cunju, went over to the Khitan, and led them against Xin.

契丹攻新州甚急，刺史安金全棄城而遁，契丹以文進部將劉殷為刺史。 The Khitan stormed Xin; An Jinquan fled; they made Wenjin's man Liu Yin prefect.

俄而文進引契丹大至，德威拔營而歸，因為契丹追躡，師徒多喪。 Wenjin soon brought a great Khitan host; Dewei broke camp, was chased home, and lost many men.

盧文進招誘幽州亡命之人，教契丹為攻城之具，飛梯、衝車之類，畢陳於城下。 Wenjin gathered Youzhou exiles and taught the Khitan ladders, rams, and every siege device below the walls.
