辛卯，永興兵馬都部署郭從義奏，得王景崇報，有兵自隴州來，欲投河中，追襲至鄜城。 On xinmao Guo Congyi, overall commander of Yongxing's horse and foot forces, reported that he had received word from Wang Jingchong that troops from Long Prefecture were heading to defect to Hezhong; he pursued and attacked them as far as Fucheng.

時王景崇拒命故也。 The move was made because Wang Jingchong was then defying court orders.

時李守貞、王景崇、趙思綰連衡作叛，朝廷雖命白文珂、常思攻討河中，物議以二帥非守貞之敵，中外憂之，及是命之降，人情大愜。 At this time Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong, and Zhao Sixuan had allied in rebellion. Although the court had ordered Bai Wenke and Chang Si to campaign against Hezhong, opinion held that neither commander was Shouzhen's equal, and alarm spread throughout the realm; when this order came down, people were greatly relieved.
