今苻登未滅而自尋干戈，所謂追二袁之蹤，授首與人。 Fu Deng still lives; civil war would repeat the folly of the two Yuans and hand victory away.

興自稱大將軍，以尹緯為長史，狄伯支為司馬，率眾伐苻登。 Yao Xing took the title grand general, appointed Yin Wei and Di Bozhi, and marched against Fu Deng.

苻登自六陌向廢橋，始平太守姚詳據馬嵬堡以距登。 Fu Deng moved from Liumo toward the broken bridge while Yao Xiang of Shiping blocked him from Mawei fort.

登眾甚盛，興慮詳不能遏，乃自將精騎以迫登，遣尹緯領步卒赴詳。 Fearing Fu Deng's numbers, Yao Xing rode out with elite horse and sent Yin Wei to reinforce Yao Xiang.

緯用詳計，據廢橋以抗登。 Yin Wei followed Yao Xiang's advice and held the ruined bridge.

登因急攻緯，緯將出戰，興馳遣狄伯支謂緯曰：「兵法不戰而制人者，蓋為此也。 As Fu Deng stormed Yin Wei's line, Yao Xing sent Di Bozhi with a warning: "The sage general wins without fighting—this is such a case.

苻登窮寇，宜持重，不可輕戰。」 Fu Deng is desperate; stand fast and do not risk a rash clash."

緯曰：「先帝登遐，人情擾懼，今不因思奮之力，梟殄逆豎，大事去矣。 Yin Wei answered, "The late king has just died and morale wavers; if we do not strike now and crush Fu Deng, all is lost.

遂與登戰，大破之，登眾渴死者十二三，其夜大潰，登奔雍。 He gave battle, shattered Fu Deng, and left two or three tenths of the enemy dying of thirst; that night Fu Deng's army melted away and he fled to Yong.

先是，苻登使弟廣守雍，子崇屯胡空堡，聞登敗，各棄守走。 Fu Deng had left Fu Guang at Yong and his son Fu Chong at Hu Kong; both bolted when they heard of his defeat.

登無所投據，遂奔平涼，率其餘眾入馬毛山。 Fu Deng retreated to Pingliang and climbed Maomao Mountain with his survivors.

興自安定如涇陽，與登戰于山南，斬登。 Yao Xing advanced from Anding to Jingyang and slew Fu Deng south of the range.

散其部眾，歸復農業。 He disbanded Fu Deng's troops to the plow.
