劉章
More than a year had passed and Luo County finally fell, but Liu Zhang continued to hold on inside Chengdu. Ma Chao, a former Liang Province warlord and a vassal of Zhang Lu, killed Zhang Lu's subordinate Yang Bai (楊柏) and joined Liu Bei. Upon seeing Ma Chao's army to the north of Chengdu, the citizens inside the city were terrified, but they still insisted on fighting a desperate war. However, the morale of Liu Zhang's army was at an all-time low and only Huang Quan was insistent on resisting Liu Bei despite a losing effort. Liu Bei decided to send his longtime adviser, Jian Yong, whom Liu Zhang was already fond of before the war broke out, to speak to Liu Zhang. Jian Yong managed to convince Liu Zhang to surrender. Thus, Liu Zhang opened Chengdu's gates and surrendered to Liu Bei; everyone inside the city wept for Liu Zhang's sacrifice. Liu Bei then succeeded Liu Zhang as Governor of Yi Province, and he conferred on the latter the seal and tassel of General of Vehement Might (奮威將軍) before expatriating him and Liu Xun to Gong'an County in Jing province.
