 Yuwen personally led troops to try to save Gao Zhongmi.At Luoyang, however, he was defeated by the Eastern Wei general Peng Le (彭樂) and was nearly captured, only managing to elude capture by throwing gold at Peng to bribe him and persuade him that if he captured Yuwen, he would be no longer any use to Gao Huan.The next day, a Western Wei counterattack in turn almost killed Gao Huan, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
