乙巳，梁將楊師厚會劉守奇率大軍侵鎮州。 On yisi Yang Shihou united with Liu Shouqi and invaded Zhen with a large force.

時帝之先鋒將史建瑭自趙州率五百騎入真定，師厚大掠鎮、冀之屬邑。 Cunxu's vanguard Shi Jiantang rode five hundred horse from Zhao into Zhending while Shihou ravaged the Zhen and Ji countryside.

王熔告急於周德威，德威分兵赴援，師厚移軍寇滄州，張萬進懼，遂降於梁。 Wang Rong begged Zhou Dewei for help; Dewei detached a relief column; Shihou turned on Cangzhou, and a frightened Zhang Wanjin went over to Liang.

時守光繼遣人乞降，將緩帝軍，陰令其將孟修、阮通謀於滄州節度使劉守奇，及求援於楊師厚，帝之遊騎擒其使以獻。 Shouguang kept suing to surrender to stall Cunxu while Meng Xiu and Ruan Tong secretly dealt with Liu Shouqi at Cangzhou and asked Yang Shihou for help—until Jin scouts seized the envoys and brought them in.
