珍在軍嘗私迎其室於汴，而不先請，太祖疑之，密令唐賓察之，二將不相下，因而交諍。 Zhen had his wife brought to Bian without permission; the Founder suspected collusion and set Tangbin to watch—the two generals quarreled and would not yield.

唐賓夜斬關還汴以訴，珍亦棄軍單騎而至，太祖兩惜之，故不罪，俾還於師。 Tangbin broke through at night to complain at Bian; Zhen rode alone from the camp; the Founder valued both and sent them back without punishment.

珍旋師自亳北趣靜戎，濟舟於滑，破黎陽、臨河、李固三鎮。 Turning north from Bo toward Jingrong, he crossed the river at Hua and took Liyang, Linhe, and Ligu.

珍以兵援劉讚，赴楚州，至襄山南，遇徐戎扼其路，珍乃攻豐，下之。 Marching to aid Liu Zan at Chuzhou, he found Xu troops blocking the road south of Xiangshan and took Feng by storm.

時溥乃以全師會戰於豐南吳康裏，珍乃收豐，破其三萬餘眾。 Shi Pu met him with his full army at Wukang li south of Feng; Zhen held the city and shattered thirty thousand.

及蔡賊平，珍比諸將功居多。 When Cai fell, his share of the credit exceeded every other general.

龍紀初，與諸將屯於蕭縣，以禦時溥，珍慮太祖自至，令諸軍葺馬廄以候巡撫，李唐賓之裨將嚴郊獨慢焉，軍候範權恃珍以督之。 Early Longji he held Xiaoxian against Shi Pu; expecting the Founder's inspection, Zhen ordered every unit to rebuild its stables; Yan Jiao, Tangbin's lieutenant, alone was slack, and Fan Quan, backed by Zhen, pressed him.

唐賓素與珍不協，果怒，乃見以訴其事。 Tangbin had long hated Zhen; predictably furious, he went to the Founder to complain.

珍亦怒曰：「唐賓無禮！」 Zhen snapped: "Tangbin has no manners!"

遂拔劍斬之，珍命騎列狀陳其事。 He drew his sword and killed him, then had the cavalry file a report on what had happened.

太祖初聞唐賓之死，驚駭，與敬翔謀，詐令有司收捕唐賓妻子下獄，以安珍心。 When the Founder first heard Tangbin was dead he was shocked; with Jing Xiang he pretended to arrest Tangbin's family to calm Zhen.

太祖遂徑往蕭縣，距蕭一舍，珍率將校迎謁，梁祖令武士執之，責其專殺，命丁會行戮。 The Founder rode straight to Xiao county; a stage short of the city Zhen came out with his officers to greet him; the Liang Founder had guards seize him, blamed him for killing on his own authority, and ordered Ding Hui to carry out the sentence.
