u Tong replied; 〃Shall I; a servant of Han; give in to the curs of Wu?〃
Undaunted; he rode at his opponents and fought many bouts。 But his strength and valor availed naught。 Struggle as he would; he could not make his way out。 And so he fell among his enemies。
A poem celebrates his valiancy:
Wu; at Yiling; strove with Shu;
Flames; not swords; used crafty Lu Xun。
Worthy of a place among Han generals
Is the hero named Fu Tong。
The Minister Cheng Jin; having got clear of the battle; rode swiftly to the river bank and called to the marines to join in the battle。 They landed; but were soon scattered。

But Cheng Jin shouted back; 〃Since I first followed my lord; I have never yet turned my back upon the foe。〃
The enemy surrounded Cheng Jin; and; as he could do no more; he took his sword and slew himself。
Noble among the warriors of Shu was Cheng Jin;
He kept his sword for the service of his prince。
When danger pressed near he wavered not;
Wherefore his fame remains forever bright。

As soon as Sun Huan was free; he set off in pursuit of Hu Ban; Zhang Nan; and Feng Xi。 These two marched until they met an army of Wu face to face; and so were between two forces。 A desperate battle was fought; and both Zhang Nan and Feng Xi perished therein。
Feng Xi was loyal without peer;
Zhang Nan was righteous; few have equaled him。
