三月，劉鄩率師與晉王大戰於故元城，鄩軍敗績。 In the third month Liu Yan met the Prince of Jin at Old Yuancheng and was routed.

時帝遣偏將楊延直領軍萬餘人屯澶州以應鄩，既而晉王詐言歸太原，劉鄩以為信。 The Emperor had posted Yang Yanzhi with ten thousand at Cizhou to support Yan; the Prince of Jin feigned retreat to Taiyuan and Yan believed him.

既而晉王自貝州至，鄩引軍漸退，至故元城西，與晉人決戰，大為其所敗。 The Prince of Jin came from Beizhou; Yan fell back to Old Yuancheng and was shattered in the decisive battle.
