是歲，定州王都作亂，求援於契丹，德光陷平州，遣禿餒以騎五千援都於中山，招討使王晏球破之於曲陽，托諾走保賊城。 That year Wang Du of Dingzhou rebelled and called on the Khitan for help. Deguang took Pingzhou and sent Tunei with five thousand horsemen to relieve Du at Zhongshan. The pacification commissioner Wang Yanqiu defeated them at Quyang, and Tuonuo fled into the rebel city.

其年七月，又遣惕隱率七千騎救定州，王晏球逆戰於唐河北，大破之。 In the seventh month he sent the Tiyiin with seven thousand horsemen to relieve Dingzhou again. Wang Yanqiu met them on the north bank of the Tang River and crushed them.
