And he was appointed to be the governor of Heyang, [and once he gets there] he puts out the rest of the flames [of war], cleared off the rest of the enemy troops, [in order to] end the war completely. Thence he talked with the elders of town, Jun Ai [Wang Chang & Wang Bi, decided to pacify the crowds.]\r\nCao Quan's memorial stone\r\nTranscriptions by Baiyun Shanqiao
