是時，契丹滅晉，漢高祖起於太原，中國多故，雄武軍節度使何建以秦、成、階三州附於蜀，昶因遣孫漢韶攻下鳳州，於是悉有王衍故地。 The Khitan had destroyed Jin and Han Gaozu had risen at Taiyuan; the central plains were in turmoil. Heroic Martial commissioner He Jian submitted Qin, Cheng, and Jie prefectures to Shu. Chang sent Sun Hanshao to take Feng Prefecture and thereby recovered all of Wang Yan's former territory.
