Wang Du
By spring 929, Ding Prefecture was in a desperate state. Wang Du and Tunei attempted to fight their way out of the siege, but could not. Wang Du's officer Ma Rangneng () thereafter opened the city to welcome the imperial forces in. Wang Du, finding the situation hopeless, committed suicide, along with his family. Tunei was captured and then executed. For this accomplishment, Wang Yanqiu was made the military governor of Tianping Circuit (天平, headquartered in modern Tai'an, Shandong) and given the honorary chancellor designation of "Shizhong" (). When he subsequently arrived at Luoyang to pay homage to Emperor Mingzong, Emperor Mingzong praised him. He did not claim any contributions, other than to apologize for the siege taking too long.
