及張覺敗奔于宋，眾推張敦固為都統，殺使者，乘城拒守，攻之不肯下。 When Zhang Jue was routed and fled to Song, the garrison installed Zhang Dun'gu as commander, killed the envoys, held the walls, and refused to surrender despite repeated assaults.

及張敦固伏誅，移置中書、樞密于平州，蔡靖以燕山降，移置燕京，凡漢地選授調發租稅皆承制行之。 After Zhang Dun'gu was executed the Secretariat and Bureau moved to Pingzhou; when Cai Jing surrendered Yanshan they moved to Yanjing. All appointments, deployments, and tax collection in Han territories were carried out by imperial commission.
