王峻慮赟左右生變，遣侍衛馬軍指揮使郭崇威以兵七百騎衛赟。
Wang Jun feared trouble from Yun's entourage and sent palace horse-guard commander Guo Chongwei with seven hundred cavalry to escort him.
崇威至宋州，赟登樓問崇威所以來之意，崇威曰：「澶州軍變，懼未察之，遣崇威護衛，非惡意也。」
At Songzhou, Yun climbed a tower and asked why Chongwei had come; Chongwei said, "The Chanzhou garrison mutinied—we feared you had not heard and sent me to guard you, not to harm you."
赟召崇威，崇威不敢進。
Yun summoned him, but Chongwei dared not come up.
馮道出與崇威語，崇威乃登樓見赟。
Feng Dao went out to speak with him, and only then did Chongwei mount the tower to see Yun.
時護聖指揮使張令超帥步兵為赟宿衛，判官董裔說赟曰：「觀崇威瞻視舉措，必有異謀。
Inspired Guard commander Zhang Lingchao led infantry on Yun's night watch; aide Dong Yi urged him, "From Chongwei's bearing and movements, he clearly has another plot.
請急召令超，諭以禍福，使夜以兵劫崇威所屬士卒，明日掠睢陽金帛，募士卒，北走太原。
Summon Lingchao at once, show him the stakes, and have him seize Chongwei's men by night; tomorrow strip Suiyang of gold and silk, raise troops, and flee north to Taiyuan.
是夕，崇威密誘令超歸郭氏，盡奪赟部下兵。
That night Chongwei secretly won Lingchao to Guo Wei and stripped Yun of every soldier.
道已去，崇威乃幽赟於外館，殺賈貞、董裔及牙內都虞候劉福、孔目官夏昭度等。
Once Dao was gone, Chongwei locked Yun in an outer lodge and killed Jia Zhen, Dong Yi, inner headquarters deputy Liu Fu, clerical officer Xia Zhaodu, and the rest.
