Qingzhi ambushed them wherever they moved, and they all surrendered.

洛中南兵不滿一萬，而羌、胡之眾十倍，軍副馬佛念為慶之曰：「將軍威行河、洛，聲震中原，功高勢重，為魏所疑，一旦變生不測，可無慮乎！ Southern troops in Luoyang numbered fewer than ten thousand, while Qiang and Hu levies were ten times as many; the army aide Ma Fonian urged Qingzhi: "General, your fame fills the Yellow River lands and your merit outweighs your rank—the Wei court must suspect you; if fortune turns, will you not be in peril?
顥先以慶之為徐州刺史，因固求之鎮，顥心憚之，不遣，曰：「主上以洛陽之地全相任委，忽聞捨此朝寄，欲往彭城，謂君遽取富貴，不為國計，非徒有損於君，恐僕並受其責。」 Hao had earlier made Qingzhi inspector of Xuzhou; when Qingzhi pressed to take up that post, Hao feared him and refused, saying, "The throne has wholly entrusted Luoyang to you; to abandon that charge for Pengcheng will look like grasping for wealth, not serving the state—you harm yourself, and I fear we shall both be blamed."
