乙丑，克丹州，执其首恶王行思。 On the day yichou Danzhou was recovered and the rebel leader Wang Xingsi taken.

克丹州，無主將姓名，行思無官爵，又不見伏誅日，皆舊史失亡。 That Danzhou was recovered without naming the commanding general, that Xingsi has no office or title, and that the date of his execution is not shown are all losses in the old history.
