过汴州，休军封禅寺，朱全忠飨克用于上源驿。 On the march he halted at Bianzhou and rested at Fengchan Temple. Zhu Quanzhong entertained him at Shangyuan Posthouse.

夜，酒罢，克用醉卧，伏兵发，火起，侍者郭景铢灭烛，匿克用床下，以水醒面而告以难。 That night, after the drinking ended, Keyong fell asleep in his cups. Quanzhong’s men attacked and set the lodge ablaze. Attendant Guo Jingzhu snuffed the lamps, pulled Keyong under the bed, dashed water on his face, and warned him of the ambush.

因伪为诏书示克用曰：「此朱全忠之谋也。」 He produced a forged edict and told Keyong, “Quanzhong is behind this.”

克用信之，八上表请讨全忠，僖宗不许，克用大怒。 Keyong believed him, petitioned eight times to attack Quanzhong, and raged when Xizong refused.
