俄而同羅背賊，以廄馬二千出奔，賊將孫孝哲、安神威招之不得，神威憂死，官吏驚走，獄囚皆逸。 Soon the Tongluo turned against the rebels and fled with two thousand stable horses. The rebel generals Sun Xiaozhe and An Shenwei could not win them over; Shenwei died of grief; officials fled in alarm, and all the prisoners escaped.

光遠以為賊且走，命人守神威、孝哲等第，斬曳落河二人。 Guangyuan thought the rebels were about to flee; he had men guard the residences of Shenwei, Xiaozhe, and the others, and beheaded two Tiele guards.
