分兵令遇春下英吉沙爾、葉爾羌，芳下和闐，於是四城皆复。 Forces were divided: Yang Yuchun was sent to recover Yengisar and Yarkand, Yang Fang to Khotan—and all four cities were restored.

六月，遇春、芳率兵八千出塞窮追，遇春屯色勒庫，芳屯阿賴，諭各部落擒獻。 In the sixth month Yang Yuchun and Yang Fang led eight thousand troops beyond the frontier in pursuit; Yuchun encamped at Serku and Fang at Alai, instructing the tribes to capture and hand over the fugitive.

詔斥諸將老師糜餉，留兵八千，餘命遇春率兵入關，芳代為參贊。 An edict rebuked the generals for prolonging the campaign and wasting supplies; eight thousand troops were left behind while Yang Yuchun was ordered to lead the rest back inside the frontier, with Yang Fang replacing him as deputy commissioner.

芳嚴兵以待，賊覺而奔，追至喀爾鐵蓋山，擊斬殆盡。 Yang Fang held the army ready; the rebels sensed the trap and fled; pursuit to Mount Ka'ertiegai left nearly all dead.
