王延政自立於建州，閩中大亂，元瓘遣其將仰詮、薛萬忠等攻之，逾年，大敗而歸。 Wang Yanzheng declared himself at Jianzhou and threw Min into chaos. Yuanguan sent Yang Quan, Xue Wanzhong, and others against him; after more than a year they were badly beaten and withdrew.

王延義、延政兄弟相攻，卓儼明、朱文進、李仁達等自相篡殺，連兵不解者數年。 The brothers Wang Yanyi and Wang Yanzheng turned on each other; Zhuo Yanming, Zhu Wenjin, Li Renda, and others seized and slaughtered one another in turn. War dragged on for years without pause.
