《旧五代史·后唐·庄宗纪二》
梁太祖听说大惊，从枣强跑回贝州，杀掉他的将军张正言、许从实、朱彦柔，因为他们从城逃回。梁太祖原先就有重病，这下更严重了。二十二日，沧州都将张万进杀留后刘继威，自为沧州统帅，派人与梁人结交，也向庄宗求降。
辛丑，沧州都将张万进杀留后刘继威，自为沧帅，遣人送款于梁，亦乞降于帝。
When Emperor Liang Taizu heard this, he was shocked. He ran back to Beizhou from Zaoqiang and killed his generals Zhang Zhengyan, Xu Congshi, and Zhu Yanrou, because they fled back from the city. Emperor Liang Taizu had a serious illness before, and now it is even more serious. On the 22nd, Zhang Wanjin, the General of Cangzhou, killed Deputy Liu Jiewei and became the commander of Cangzhou himself. He sent someone to make friends with the Liang people, and also asked Zhuangzong to surrender.
