《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪八》
大军将要出发，凤翔的百姓拦着马请求仍任用李从镇守凤翔，未帝答应了，到此时，便把李从调迁为凤翔节度使。
将行，凤翔之民遮马请复以从严镇凤翔，帝许之，至是，徙从严为凤翔节度使。
When the army was about to set off, the people of Fengxiang stopped the horses and asked that Li Cong be allowed to continue to guard Fengxiang. The Emperor agreed, and at this time, he transferred Li Cong to the position of Jiedushi of Fengxiang.
