The high minister Zhang Wen is given the military post of General of Chariots and Cavalry to assume Huangfu Song's responsibilities in the eighth lunar month of 185.

Assigned under him are Dong Zhuo, the new General Who Routs the Caitiffs, and Zhou Shen, the General Who Terrifies Criminals, among others.

Zhang's army, more than a hundred thousand in men and horses, travels to Meiyang (west of present-day Wugong) and sets up camp there.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui also bring their men to Meiyang to do battle, but the battles are inconclusive and Zhang Wen's army cannot gain advantage for some time.
