張浚之加兵於太原也，潞州小校馮霸殺其帥李克恭以城叛。 When Zhang Jun marched additional forces against Taiyuan, a Luzhou junior officer named Feng Ba killed his commander Li Kegong and turned the city in revolt.

初，汴人攻澤州，呼罕之曰：「相公常恃太原，輕絕大國，今張相公圍太原，葛司空已入潞府，旬日之內，沙陀無穴自處，相公何路求生耶！」 Early in the siege the Bian troops taunted Han Zhi: "You have always leaned on Taiyuan and scorned the great power. Chancellor Zhang now invests Taiyuan, and Vice Director Ge holds the Lu prefectural seat. Within ten days the Shatuo will have nowhere to hide—what path remains for you to survive?!"

梁祖與揆牙兵三千為紀綱，時揆為張浚副招討，所部萬人。 the Liang Founder furnished him three thousand guards as escort. Kui served as Zhang Jun's deputy suppression commander with ten thousand men.

十月，存孝引收潞州之師，圍張浚於平陽，營於趙城。 In the tenth month he led the Luzhou veterans to besiege Zhang Jun at Pingyang and pitched camp at Zhaocheng.

十一月，刺史張行恭棄城而去，張浚、韓建亦由含口而遁。 In the eleventh month Prefect Zhang Xinggong abandoned the city. Zhang Jun and Han Jian likewise escaped through Hankou Pass.
