裴頻表陳瑱之狀，謀奪其位，稱「瑱善謀而勇，崛強難制，宜早除之，可一戰而擒也。」 Pei Ying repeatedly reported on Zhen, scheming for his post: "Zhen is clever and fierce, proud and hard to control; remove him early and he can be seized in one battle."

加裴兼御史中丞、襄鄧等七州防禦使以代之。 Pei Ying was made concurrent Censor-in-Chief and defense commissioner of Xiang, Deng, and seven prefectures in his stead.

裴於商州召募，以窺去就。 Pei Ying raised troops at Shangzhou to watch whether Zhen would go or stay.

寶應元年五月，代宗即位，因復授瑱襄州節度、奉義軍渭北兵馬等使，官如故，潛令裴圖之。 In the first year of Baoying, in the fifth month Emperor Daizong succeeded; Zhen was restored to Xiangzhou and the Fengyi command, while Pei Ying was secretly told to move against him.

其月十九日，裴率眾浮漢江而下。 On the nineteenth Pei led his force down the Han by boat.

日暮，候者白瑱，謀於帳下，副使薛南陽曰：「尚書奉詔留鎮，裴以兵代，是無名也。 At dusk scouts warned Zhen. Vice commissioner Xue Nanyang said in council, "You hold the edict to remain; Pei comes with an army to replace you—this is unlawful.

且之智勇，非尚書敵也，眾心歸尚書，不歸於。 Pei's wit and courage are no match for yours; the troops follow you, not him.

曰：「尚書不受命，謹奉中丞伐罪人。 They answered, "You refuse the command; we follow the Vice Censor to punish the offender.

兩軍相見，遂以麾下旁萬山而出其背，表裏夾擊，軍大敗，投水而死，殺獲殆盡。 When the armies met, he slipped around Mount Wan and struck from the rear. Caught front and back, Pei's force was destroyed; men drowned themselves; few escaped.

及弟薦脫身北走，妻子並為瑱所擒，瑱甚厚撫之。 Pei's brother Jian fled north, but wife and children were taken; Zhen treated them kindly.

擒於申口，送至京師，長流費州，賜死於藍田故驛。 Ying was taken at Shenkou, sent to court, banished to Feizhou, and ordered to die at the old Lantian post.
