及周世宗嗣位，崇復乞師於契丹，以圖入寇，契丹遣將楊袞合勢大舉，來迫潞州。 When Zhou Shizong succeeded, Chong again begged Khitan aid; Yang Gun marched in force on Luzhou.

顯德元年三月，周世宗親征，與崇戰於高平，大敗之。 In the third month of Xiande's first year Shizong campaigned in person and routed Chong at Gaoping.

月餘，世宗乃旋軍。 After more than a month Shizong withdrew.
