《旧五代史·后梁·太祖纪一》
开始时蔡州贼寇分散兵力进犯陕、洛、孟、怀、许、汝等州，都抢先占据着，因为这次的战败，贼寇们害怕极了，都放弃了州城逃走。
始蔡人分兵寇陕、洛、孟、怀、许、汝，皆先据之，因是败也，贼众恐惧，咸弃之而遁。
Initially, the bandits in Caizhou dispersed their troops to attack states of Shan, Luo, Meng, Huai, Xu, Ru etc. and occupied them in advance. But because of the defeat this time, bandits were too scared to fight any more and all abandoned state cities and fled.
