又取濮州，刺史朱裕奔於鄆州。 He took Puzhou too; its prefect Zhu Yu fled to Yanzhou.

朱裕詐為降書，陰使人召珍，約開門為內應。 Zhu Yu faked a surrender and secretly called Zhen, promising to open the gate from within.

珍信之，夜率其兵叩鄆城門，朱裕登陴，開門內珍軍，珍軍已入甕城而垂門發，鄆人從城上磔石以投之，珍軍皆死甕城中，珍僅以身免，太祖不之責也。 Zhen believed him; at night he led his men to the gate; Zhu Yu appeared on the wall, opened it, and let them into the barbican—then dropped the outer gate; Yan’s defenders rained stones from above; Zhen’s force died to the last man in the trap; Zhen alone got out alive; Taizu did not punish him.
