Is “The background of Shi Pu's raising troops to attack Huang Chao” true?

Regarding the background of Shi Pu's raising troops to attack Huang Chao, the two Tang histories differ. The Old Book of Tang, Biographies of Wang Chongrong, Wang Chucun, Zhuge Shuang, Gao Pian, Shi Pu, and Zhu Xuan, records that the court issued an edict to summon troops: "Shi Pu, a man of Pengcheng, was a minor general of Xu. When Huang Chao occupied Chang'an, an edict was issued summoning troops from all over the empire to attack him. In the second year of Zhonghe, Zhi Xiang, the military governor of Wuning, sent Pu and Deputy General Chen Fan to lead five thousand troops to the rescue." The New Book of Tang, Biographies of Yang, Shi, Zhu, and Sun, does not mention the "edict summoning troops," but only records: "Shi Pu, a man of Pengcheng, Xu. He was a minor general of the prefecture. When Huang Chao threw the capital into chaos, the military governor Zhi Xiang sent Pu and Chen Fan to lead five thousand troops to attack in the west."
