Military Treatise (Wubeizhi), Volume 203: Studies of War Strategy, Part 6 of the Tang Dynasty

The officers and soldiers wished to burn the captured stockades mountain fortifications or military camps, but Gao Renhou stopped them. He said: "The surrendered men have not yet eaten. First, transport out the wealth and the grain, and then you may burn them."

The newly surrendered rebels competed with one another to cook their meals and shared their food with those who had surrendered earlier. The sounds of talking, laughing, singing, and the playing of flutes did not cease all night long.

The next day, Gao Renhou released those who had surrendered at Shuangliu and Chuankou so they could return to their homes first. He then ordered the surrendered men from Xinjin to carry banners and act as the vanguard, telling them: "Once you enter the territory of Qiong Prefecture, you too may disperse and return to your homes."

Luo Fuzi a rebel leader whose name literally translates to "Master Luo" had established nine stockades at Yan-gong. His followers had spent the previous night watching the glow of the fires from Xinjin; they had been unable to sleep out of fear. When the people from Xinjin arrived at their gates, Luo Fuzi fled, abandoning his stockades, and ran to join the rebel leader Qian Neng. All of his followers then surrendered.

Luo Fuzi reached Qian Neng's stockade and plotted with him, intending to mobilize all their remaining forces for a final, decisive battle. However, before their plans were settled, the banner-carrying vanguard arrived at their position. Qian Neng wished to deploy his soldiers to fight, but his men refused to respond to his orders.

At dawn the next morning, the people within the various stockades raised a great clamor, competing with each other to rush out and surrender. Seeing that all was lost, Luo Fuzi committed suicide by slitting his own throat. The crowd took up his severed head and bound Qian Neng original: 縛 (fù); to tie up or bind a prisoner to be handed over.
