韓允忠，魏州人也。 Han Yunzhong was a native of Weizhou.

舊名君雄，懿宗改賜今名。 His original name was Junxiong; Emperor Yizong gave him his present name.

以允忠故，累贈兵部尚書。 Because of Yunzhong's eminence, Guochang was posthumously promoted in stages to Minister of War.

允忠少仕軍門，繼升裨校。 Yunzhong entered military service young and rose through the ranks to deputy commander.

咸通十一年，何全皞為軍眾所殺，推允忠為帥。 In Xiantong 11 (870) He Quanhao was killed by his troops, who acclaimed Yunzhong as their commander.

時僖宗為普王，即降詔遙領節度，授允忠左散騎常侍、兼御史中丞，充節度觀察留後。 Emperor Xizong was then Prince of Pu; he immediately issued an edict appointing Yunzhong Left Regular Attendant-in-Ordinary and concurrent Censor-in-Chief as acting military governor and observation commissioner.

子簡，自允忠初授戎帥，便為節度副使。 His son Jian had been made deputy military governor as soon as Yunzhong received his commission.

允忠卒，即起復為節度觀察留後。 When Yunzhong died, Jian was immediately recalled from mourning to serve as acting military governor.

變易主帥，有同兒戲，如史憲誠、何進滔、韓君雄、樂彥禎，皆為其所立。 Replacing commanders was child's play to them. Shi Xiancheng, He Jintao, Han Junxiong, and Le Yanzhen had all been installed by the guard.
