令總兵花里雅遜布屯延津防河，雙祿守彰德為後繼，而賊酋林鳳祥、李開芳已自汜水渡河，陷溫縣，犯懷慶。 Brigade General Hualiyaxunbu was posted at Yanjin to guard the river and Shuang Lu at Zhangde as reserve, but rebel chiefs Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang had already crossed at Sishui, taken Wen County, and were threatening Huaiqing.

逾年始殄賊，先後擒首逆林鳳祥、李開芳伏誅，畿輔肅清。 More than a year passed before the rebels were finally destroyed; chief leaders Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were captured and executed in turn, and the capital region was pacified.
