先是,李景遣其弟偽齊王達率全軍來援壽州,達留駐濠州,遣其將許文縝、邊鎬、朱元領兵數萬,溯淮而上,至紫金山,設十餘寨,與城內烽火相應。 Earlier Li Jing had sent his brother, the puppet Prince of Qi Da, at the head of the full Southern Tang army to relieve Shouzhou. Da stayed at Haozhou and dispatched Xu Wenzhen, Bian Hao, and Zhu Yuan with tens of thousands of men up the Huai to Purple Gold Mountain, where they pitched more than ten camps linked by beacon fire to the besieged city.
壬子,以江南偽命西北面行營都監使、舒州團練使朱元為蔡州防禦使,以江南偽命文德殿使、壽州監軍使周延構為衛尉卿,以江南偽命壽州營田副使孫羽為太僕卿,以壽州節度判官鄭牧為鴻臚卿,賞歸順也。 On renzi, Zhu Yuan, the Southern Tang-appointed northwest campaign supervisor and Shuzhou regimental commissioner, was made defender of Caizhou; Zhou Yanguo, Wende Hall envoy and Shouzhou army supervisor, was made Chamberlain for the Palace Garrison; Sun Yu, deputy agricultural commissioner at Shouzhou, was made Minister of the Court of the Imperial Stud; and Zheng Mu, Shouzhou staff judge, was made Minister of the Court for Diplomatic Reception — rewards for defecting.
