十八年十月，鎮州大將張文禮弒其帥王镕，莊宗討之，時定州王處直與文禮合謀，遣威塞軍使王郁復引契丹為援。 In the tenth month of year eighteen the Zhenzhou general Zhang Wenli murdered his lord Wang Rong, and Emperor Zhuangzong marched to punish him. Wang Chuzhi of Dingzhou joined the plot and sent the Weisai commissioner Wang Yu to bring the Khitan in as allies again.
