《资治通鉴·后汉纪·后汉纪二》
守兵缺乏铠甲兵器，高唐英就把铠甲兵器给他们，对他们倚重信赖就像亲戚一样。高唐英听说后汉高祖南下，带领本镇请求归降；派往的使者还没返回，王继弘、樊晖就已杀死了高唐英。王继弘自称为留后，派使者告诉说高唐英反复无常。后汉高祖诏令王继安国节度使高奉明听说高唐英被杀，心里忐忑不安，向麻请求署理马步都指挥使刘铎为节度副使，主持军府事务，自己回归恒州。
安国节度使高奉明闻唐英死，心不自安，请于麻荅，署马步都指挥使刘鐸为节度副使，知军府事，身归恒州。
The defenders lacked armor and weapons, and Gao Tangying gave them some and treated them with great trust, as if they were his relatives. When Gao Tangying heard that the Later Han emperor was heading south, he led his troops to ask to surrender. Before his messenger had returned, Wang Jihong and Fan Hui had already killed Gao Tangying. Wang Jihong then called himself the prefect, and sent a messenger to tell the emperor that Gao Tangying had been unreliable. The Later Han emperor issued an edict ordering Wang Jihong to be killed. When the governor of Anguo Jiedu, Gao Fengming heard that Gao Tangying had been killed, he became nervous and asked Ma Ma to appoint Liu Duo, the deputy guard commander of the horse and foot troops, as deputy jiedushi to manage the military affairs, while he himself returned to Hengzhou.
