九月，徐州節度使王殷反。 In the ninth month Wang Yin, commissioner of Xuzhou, rebelled.

時朝廷以福王友璋鎮徐方，殷不受代，乃下詔削奪殷在身官爵，仍令卻還本姓蔣，便委友璋及天平軍節度使牛存節、開封尹劉鄩等進軍攻討。 The court had posted Prince of Fu Youzhang at Xuzhou; Yin refused replacement; an edict stripped his titles, restored the surname Jiang, and sent Youzhang, Niu Cunjie, Liu Yan, and others against him.

是時，蔣殷求救於淮南，楊溥遣大將朱瑾率眾來援，存節等逆擊，敗之。 Jiang Yin called on Huainan; Yang Pu sent Zhu Jin; Niu Cunjie and the rest routed the relief force.

貞明元年春，牛存節、劉鄩拔徐州，逆賊將殷舉族自燔而死，於火中得其屍，梟首以獻。 In spring of Zhenming 1, Niu Cunjie and Liu Yan seized Xuzhou; Yin and his kin immolated themselves; his body was pulled from the flames and his head sent in.
