僕固懷恩反，陷焉，挺身歸京師。 When Pugu Huai'en rebelled, Baozhen was caught in the revolt but made his way back to the capital.

代宗以懷恩倚回紇，所將朔方兵精，憂之，召抱真問狀，答曰：「郭子儀嘗領朔方軍，人多德之。 Daizong, worried that Huai'en relied on the Uyghurs and commanded elite Shuofang troops, summoned Baozhen for counsel. He replied, "Guo Ziyi once led the Shuofang army, and the men still honor him.

懷恩欺其下曰，'子儀為朝恩所殺。 Huai'en has deceived his men, telling them that Ziyi was killed by Chao'en.

'今起而用，是伐其謀，兵可不戰解也。」 If we restore him to command, Huai'en's scheme collapses and the army will disperse without a fight."

既而懷恩敗，如抱真策。 Huai'en was soon defeated, just as Baozhen had predicted.
