從太祖攻蔡州，太祖墜馬，從周扶太祖復騎，與敵步鬥傷面，身被數瘡，偏將張延壽從旁擊之，從周得與太祖俱去。 At Caizhou Taizu was thrown from his horse. Congzhou helped him remount, fought on foot with the enemy, took wounds to the face and body, and with Zhang Yanshou’s help fought free with Taizu.

太祖盡黜諸將，獨用從周、延壽為大將。 Taizu dismissed every other general and kept only Congzhou and Yanshou as his chief commanders.
