先是，供奉官張漢玫宣諭在壁，國禮使杜廷隱賜幣于夏，及石堡寨，聞賊至，以防卒三百人馳入州。 Earlier Zhang Hanmei, duty commissioner, was at the walls; Du Tingyin, state rites envoy, was gifting at Xia—at Shibao Stockade they heard the enemy and rode in with three hundred guards.

既而大兵圍合，廷隱、漢玫與指揮使張初、李君用率州民防卒，與仁福部分固守，晝夜戮力逾月。 The host soon encircled the city; Tingyin, Hanmei, Zhang Chu, Li Junyong, militia and garrison fought with Renfu for more than a month without rest.
