加奉天节度使齐克俭、河中节度使王重荣并同平章事。
李克用将兵四万至河中,遣从父弟克修先将兵五百济河尝贼。初,克用弟克让为南山寺僧所杀,其仆浑进通归于黄巢。自高浔之败,诸军皆畏贼,莫敢进。及克用军至,贼惮之,曰:“鸦军至矣,当避其锋。”克用军皆衣黑,故谓之鸦军。巢乃捕南山寺僧十馀人,遣使赍诏书及重赂,因浑进通诣克用以求和。克用杀僧,哭克让,受其赂以分诸将,焚其诏书,归其使者,引兵自夏阳渡河,军于同州。
孟方立既杀成麟,引兵归邢州,潞人请监军吴全勖知留后。是岁,王鐸墨制以方立知邢州事,方立不受,囚全勖;与鐸书,愿得儒臣镇潞州,鐸以郑冒图知昭义军事。既而朝廷以右仆射、租庸使王徽同平章事,充昭义节度使,徽以车驾播迁,中原方扰,方立专据山东邢、洺、磁三州,度朝廷力未能制,辞不行,请且委昌图。诏以徽为大明宫留守、京畿安抚制置修奉园陵使。昌图至潞州,不三月而去,方立遂迁昭义军于邢州,自称留后,表其将李殷锐为潞州刺史。

Analysis:
In this chapter of “The Records of the Grand Historian,” we see the complex political landscape in China during the late Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xizong (r. r. 874-888) was on the throne and his reign was marked by significant changes in power dynamics and military actions. Notably, the appointments and demotions of various officials were tied to these shifts, reflecting the changing balance of power within the empire.
Firstly, the chapter opens with the promotion and demotion of two key figures in the war against the southern bandit leader Huang Chao.
