邠州楊崇本以兵六萬攻雍州，屯於美原。 Yang Chongben of Bin brought sixty thousand men against Yong and camped at Meiyuan.

是時，太祖方與諸將攻滄州，知俊不俟命，與康懷英等擊敗崇本，斬馘二萬，獲馬三千匹，執其偏裨百人。 The Founder was at Cangzhou with the main host. Zhijun did not wait for orders: with Kang Huaiying and others he smashed Chongben, took twenty thousand heads, three thousand horses, and a hundred officers prisoner.

是時，延州高萬興叛楊崇本降梁，太祖遣知俊會萬興，攻下丹、延、鄜、坊四州，加檢校太尉兼侍中，封大彭郡王。 Gao Wanxing of Yan broke from Chongben and came over to Liang. Zhu Wen sent Zhijun to join him; they took Dan, Yan, Fu, and Fang. Zhijun was made acting Grand Mentor and Palace Attendant and enfeoffed Prince of Dapeng.
