《旧五代史·其它·僭伪列传三》
孟知祥怕唐朝大军猛扑过来，与遂州、阆州兵力汇合，就势不可挡，于是就与董璋合谋，让董璋率领本部兵马先攻取阆州，孟知祥则派大将军李仁罕、赵廷隐率军队包围遂州。
知祥虑唐军骤至，与遂、阆兵合，则势不可支吾，遂与璋协谋，令璋以本部军先取阆州，知祥遣大将军李仁罕、赵廷隐率军围遂州。
Meng Zhixiang was afraid that the Tang army would join up with the Suizhou and Langzhou troops and become an overwhelming force, so he plotted with Dong Zhang to have Dong Zhang first lead his troops to take Langzhou and Meng Zhixiang then sent his generals Li Renhan and Zhao Tingyin to surround Suizhou.
