乃聲言歸太原，命符存審守魏，陽為西歸，而潛兵貝州。 He announced a march back to Taiyuan, left Fu Cunjian at Wei, pretended to go west, and hid his army at Beizhou.

兵稍卻，追至故元城，莊宗與符存審為兩方陣夾之，鄩為圓陣以禦晉人。 His line buckled. Pursued to old Yuancheng, Zhuangzong and Fu Cunjian closed on him from two sides; Xun drew a circle to meet Jin steel.
