太祖遣珍救魏，珍破黎陽、臨河、李固，分遣聶金、範居實等略澶州，殺魏豹子軍二千於臨黃。
Taizu sent Zhen to relieve Wei; Zhen took Liyang, Linhe, and Liguo, and detached Nie Jin, Fan Jushi, and others to overrun Cao Province, slaughtering two thousand of Wei’s Leopard-Son troops at Linhuang.
珍威振河朔。
Zhen’s name shook the lands north of the river.
魏人殺彥貞，珍乃還。
Weibo killed Yanzhen; Zhen withdrew.
梁攻徐州，遣珍先攻下豐縣，又敗時溥於吳康，與李唐賓等屯蕭縣。
In Liang’s assault on Xuzhou, Zhen first took Feng County, then beat Shi Pu at Wukang and camped at Xiao County with Li Tangbin and the rest.
梁兵攻掠四方，唐賓常與珍俱，與珍威名略等，而驍勇過之，珍戰每小卻，唐賓佐之乃大勝。
On Liang’s campaigns Tangbin usually fought beside Zhen; his name almost equaled Zhen’s, and he was the bolder fighter—whenever Zhen’s line buckled, Tangbin’s push turned defeat into rout.
珍嘗私迎其家置軍中，太祖疑珍有異志，遣唐賓伺察之。
Zhen once quietly moved his family into camp; Taizu suspected disloyalty and sent Tangbin to spy on him.
珍與唐賓不協，唐賓不能忍，夜走還宣武，珍單騎追之，交訴太祖前。
Zhen and Tangbin clashed; Tangbin could not bear it and fled by night to Xuanyi; Zhen chased him alone, and both argued their case before Taizu.
珍屯蕭縣，聞太祖將至，戒軍中治館廄以待。
Camped at Xiao County, Zhen heard Taizu was on his way and had the camp ready quarters and stables.
唐賓部將嚴郊治廄失期，軍吏督之，郊訴於唐賓，唐賓以讓珍，珍怒，拔劍而起，唐賓拂衣就珍，珍即斬之，遣使者告唐賓反。
Tangbin’s lieutenant Yan Jiao missed the deadline on the stables; the clerks drove him; Jiao appealed to Tangbin, who blamed Zhen; Zhen flew into a rage, drew his sword, and when Tangbin strode up to him, killed him on the spot, then sent word that Tangbin had rebelled.
既夕，乃引珍使者入見，太祖大驚，然已夜矣，不能有所發，翔因從容為太祖畫。
At dusk he brought Zhu Zhen’s messenger before Taizu. Taizu was shaken, but night had fallen and nothing could be done yet; Xiang calmly drew up a plan for him.
因如珍軍，去蕭一舍，珍迎謁，太祖命武士執之。
Then he rode to Zhen’s camp, halting one post short of Xiao. Zhen came out to greet him; Taizu ordered his men to seize him.
諸將霍存等十餘人叩頭救珍，太祖大怒，舉胡床擲之曰：「方珍殺唐賓時，獨不救之邪！」
Generals Huo Cun and a dozen others kowtowed to beg for Zhen. Taizu in a rage hurled a camp stool at them and cried: “When Zhen killed Li Tangbin, where were you then!”
存等退，珍遂縊死。
They withdrew; Zhen hanged himself.
是時，朱珍、李唐賓已死，師古與霍存分將其兵。
Zhu Zhen and Li Tangbin were already dead; Shigu and Huo Cun split their commands between them.
