At this time, a number of Later Jin officials who did not want to submit to Liao fled to Southern Tang, and the agrarian rebels north of the Huai River (which formed the border between Southern Tang and Later Jin) were also pledging allegiance to Southern Tang.
Pada saat ini, sejumlah pejabat Jin Akhir yang tidak ingin tunduk kepada Liao melarikan diri ke Tang Selatan, dan pemberontak agraria di utara Sungai Huai (yang membentuk perbatasan antara Tang Selatan dan Jin Akhir) juga berjanji setia kepada Tang Selatan.
