定州王都反，以晏球為招討使，與宣徽南院使張延朗等討之。 Wang Du of Dingzhou rebelled. Yanqiu was made pacification commissioner and campaigned against him with Zhang Yanlang of the Southern Court and others.

晏球聞禿餒等兵且來，留張延朗屯新樂，自逆於望都。 Yanqiu heard Tujie was near. He left Zhang Yanlang at Xinle and went to meet him at Wangdu.

而契丹從他道入定州，與都出不意擊延朗軍，延朗大敗，收餘兵會晏球趨曲陽，都乘勝追之。 The Khitan came by another road into Dingzhou, joined Du, and struck Yanlang by surprise. Yanlang was routed, gathered the remnant, and joined Yanqiu toward Quyang. Du pursued in victory.
