是日,諸將稱賀,莊宗以酒屬帝曰:「昨朕在朝城,諸君多勸朕棄鄆州,以河為界,賴副總管禦侮於前,崇韜畫謀於內,若信李紹宏輩,大事已掃地矣。」 That day the generals congratulated him; Cunxu handed wine to Siyuan and said, "Yesterday at Chaocheng many of you wanted to abandon Yun and make the river the border; only the deputy overall commander held the front and Chongtao schemed within—had I listened to Li Shaohong and his crowd, the cause would be dust."
