同光三年，從魏王繼岌平蜀，屬康延孝叛，魏王署赟為一行馬步都虞候，領兵從任圜襲擊延孝於漢州，擒之以獻，未及策勛，會明宗登極。 In the third year of Tongguang he followed Jiji, the Prince of Wei, in pacifying Shu. When Kang Yanxiao rebelled, the Prince of Wei appointed Yun chief adjutant of horse and foot for the expedition; he led troops with Ren Yuan to strike Yanxiao at Han prefecture and captured him to present. Before merit could be recorded, Mingzong ascended the throne.
