自梁太祖時，常以靈武節度使兼領河西節度，而觀察甘、肅、威等州，然雖有其名，而涼州自立守將。 From the reign of the Liang founder onward, the military governor of Lingwu was routinely given concurrent command of Hexi and oversight of Gan, Su, Wei, and neighboring prefectures. In name the post existed, but Liangzhou kept its own defending commander.

梁乾化元年十一月，遣都督周易言等入朝進貢，太祖御朝元殿引對，以易言爲右監門衛大將軍同正，以石壽兒、石論思並爲右千牛衛將軍同正，仍以左監門衛將軍楊沼充押領回鶻還蕃使，《五代會要》：以易言爲右監門衛大將軍同正，弟略麥之、石論思並爲左千牛衛將軍同正，李屋珠、安鹽山並爲右千牛衛將軍同正，仍以左鹽門衛上將軍楊沼爲左驍衛上將軍，充押領回鶻還番使。 In the eleventh month of the first year of Qianhua under Liang, commissioner Zhou Yiyan and others came to court with tribute. Emperor Taizu received them in audience at Chaoyuan Hall, appointing Yiyan Acting Right General-in-Chief of the Right Gate Guard, Shi Shou'er and Shi Lunci Acting Generals of the Right Thousand-Ox Guard, and Left Gate Guard General Yang Zhao envoy to escort the Uyghurs home. The Five Dynasties Essentials gives a fuller account: Yiyan as Acting Right General-in-Chief of the Right Gate Guard; his younger brother Luemaizhi and Shi Lunci as Acting Generals of the Left Thousand-Ox Guard; Li Wuzhu and An Yanshan as Acting Generals of the Right Thousand-Ox Guard; and Senior General Yang Zhao of the Left Gate Guard as Senior General of the Left Xiaowei Guard and envoy to escort the Uyghurs home.
