是時，危全諷、韓師德等分據撫、吉諸州，傳皆不能節度，以兵攻之，稍聽命，獨全諷不能下，乃自率兵圍之。 Wei Quanfeng, Han Shide, and others held Fu and Ji. Chuan could not rule them from afar; he marched on them until most bent the knee. Only Quanfeng held out, so Chuan went in person to besiege him.

乃掃地祭天，向城再拜，祝曰：「全諷不降，非民之罪，願天止火。」 He swept clean ground, offered to Heaven, bowed twice toward the walls, and prayed: “If Quanfeng will not yield, the fault is not the people’s. Let the fire die.”

全諷聞之，明日乃亦聽命，請以女妻傳子匡時。 Quanfeng heard the prayer. The next day he submitted and offered his daughter to Chuan’s son Kuangshi.

全諷曰：「聽鍾郎為節度使三年，吾將自為之。」 Quanfeng said: “I let Master Zhong be military commissioner three years; now I shall take the post myself.”

開平三年，全諷等起兵江西，謀復鍾氏故地，全諷為楊隆演將周本所敗，江西遂入於吳。 In Kaiping 3 (909) Quanfeng and his allies rose in Jiangxi to restore the Zhong domain. Yang Longyan’s general Zhou Ben crushed them, and Jiangxi passed to Wu.
