太祖初起兵，珍與龐師古、許唐、李暉、丁會、氏叔琮、鄧季筠、王武等八十餘人，以中涓從，摧堅陷陣，所向蕩決。 When the Founder first took up arms, Zhen and more than eighty comrades—including Pang Shigu, Xu Tang, Li Hui, Ding Hui, Shi Shucong, Deng Jiyun, and Wang Wu—rode at his side and broke every line they met.

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.

如丁會受我待遇之恩，不謂不至，懷黃拖紫，裂土分茅，設令木石偶人，須感恩義，一朝反噬，倒戈授人，苟有天道明神，安能容此！ Consider Ding Hui: I favored him beyond measure—yellow seal, purple robe, lands and titles—yet overnight he turned traitor and joined the enemy; if Heaven and the spirits are just, how could that be borne!

李罕之襲我潞州也，嗣昭率師攻潞州，與汴將丁會戰於含口，俘獲三千，執其將蔡延恭； When Li Hanzhi seized our Luzhou, Sizhao marched to retake it and fought the Bian general Ding Hui at Hankou, taking three thousand prisoners and capturing his general Cai Yangong;

十一月，嗣昭合燕軍三萬進攻潞州，降丁會，武皇乃以嗣昭為昭義節度使。 In the eleventh month Sizhao combined with thirty thousand Yan troops to attack Luzhou. Ding Hui surrendered, and the Martial Emperor appointed Sizhao military commissioner of Zhaoyi.

未幾，丁會既降，嗣昭領兵入潞，以媼家四面空缺，乃駐於是舍。 Soon afterward, when Ding Hui surrendered, Sizhao entered Lu with his army. The old woman's house stood open on every side, and he made his headquarters there.

丁會既歸太原，武皇遣使命嗣昭為帥，乃自媼舍而入理所，其氣尋息，聞者異之。 After Ding Hui returned to Taiyuan, the Martial Emperor confirmed Sizhao as commander. Sizhao moved from the old woman's house into the official residence, and the strange vapor soon faded. All who heard of it were astonished.

丁會，字道隱，壽州壽春人也。 Ding Hui, styled Daoyin, came from Shouchun in Shou.

梁太祖鎮宣武，以為宣武都押衙。 When Zhu Wen held Xuanyi he made Hui its overall adjutant.

是時，梁軍在魏，乃遣會及葛從周等將萬人救之。 The Liang host was at Wei; they sent Hui with Ge Congzhou and ten thousand men to relieve it.

會等行至河陰，謀曰：「罕之料吾不敢渡九鼎，以吾兵少而來遠，且不虞吾之速至也。 At Heyin Hui and the others plotted: “Hanzhi thinks we will not cross the Jiuding—few men, a long march, and he will not expect us so soon.

大順元年，梁軍擊魏，會及葛從周破黎陽、臨河，遂敗羅弘信於內黃。 Dashun 1: Liang struck Wei. Hui and Ge Congzhou took Liyang and Linhe and at Neihuang beat Luo Hongxin.

梁軍攻時溥於徐州，遣會別攻宿州，刺史張筠閉城距守，會堰汴水浸其東，城壞，筠降。 Liang besieged Shi Pu at Xu and sent Hui against Su. Prefect Zhang Yun barred the gates. Hui dammed the Bian to flood the east wall; the wall gave way and Yun surrendered.

兗州朱瑾以兵萬餘擊單父，會及瑾戰於金鄉，大敗之。 Zhu Jin of Yan brought ten thousand men against Shanfu; Hui met him at Jinxiang and broke him.

會自河陽攻晉澤州，下之。 From Heyang Hui struck Jin’s Ze and took it.

乃以會為昭義軍留後，會畏梁太祖雄猜，常稱疾者累年。 He was made acting commissioner of Zhaoyi. Hui feared Zhu Wen’s suspicion and for years pleaded sickness.

昭宗遇弒，會與三軍縞素髮哀。 When Zhaozong was murdered, Hui and the host went into white hemp and loose hair for mourning.

梁軍攻燕滄州，燕王守光乞師於晉，晉人為攻潞州，會乃降晉。 Liang besieged Yan at Cangzhou; Shouguang begged Jin for help; Jin struck Luzhou in answer, and Hui went over to Jin.

晉王以會歸於太原，賜以甲第，位在諸將上。 The Prince of Jin brought him to Taiyuan, gave him a grand house, and set him above the other generals.

莊宗立，以會為都招討使。 When Zhuangzong rose he made Hui overall pacification commissioner.

全義乞兵於梁，梁遣牛存節、丁會等以兵萬人自九鼎渡河，擊敗罕之於沇水，晉軍解去。 Quanyi cried to Liang for men. Niu Cunjie and Ding Hui crossed at Jiuding with ten thousand troops, smashed Hanzhi on the Yan River, and Jin pulled away.

梁以丁會守河陽，全義還為河南尹。 Liang left Ding Hui in Heyang; Quanyi resumed as Intendant of Henan.
