彥卿謂張彥澤、皇甫遇曰：「與其束手就擒，曷若死戰，然未必死。」 Yanqing said to Zhang Yanze and Huangfu Yu, "Rather than wait to be captured, how much better to fight to the death — and death is not necessarily certain."

彥澤等然之。 Zhang Yanze and the others agreed.

會彥澤引遼兵入汴，彥卿與行周遂歸遼。 When Zhang Yanze led Liao troops into Bian, Yanqing and Xingzhou thereupon submitted to the Liao.
