Xu Sheng chased after Cao Xiu and came to a road junction where he saw a flag horn flashing down the hillside. He was confused in his heart, afraid that there would be an ambush by the Wei army, and did not dare to chase after it, so he collected his troops and returned.
Cao Xiu escaped with his life and led the remnants back to Luoyang, feeling worried and angry, and soon fell ill and died.
When Sima Yi heard the news of Cao Xiu's defeat, he was deeply afraid that Zhuge Liang would take advantage of the false attack on Chang'an, and he also hurriedly led his troops to retreat.
Lu Xun sat in Anhui City, waiting for the good news ahead. Soon, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan, and Quan Chun arrived one after another, reporting that all sides had won a great victory, and that tens of thousands of Wei soldiers had surrendered, leaving behind countless horses, weapons, and grain.
Lu Xun was very happy, and first invited Zhou Qu to come, saying that this meritorious service was due to his deceitful plan.
Next, he comforted Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan, Quan Chun and other generals. On the one hand, a messenger rushed to report to Sun Quan for victory.
