Aftermath
Scoring such a victory, Hao Zhao instantly became a celebrity, and an imperial decree was passed down to grant the victor a title of marquis. Cao Rui also summoned Hao Zhao to the capital of Luoyang, where the young emperor praised his general highly. However, Hao Zhao soon died of illness during his stay in the capital.
In the same year of 229, Zhuge Liang launched his third expedition. This time, he again changed his target, sending Chen Shi to besiege Wudu and Yinping commanderies. The Wei general, Guo Huai, ceded the two commanderies to Shu Han, in fear he would be sandwiched by Chen Shi and Zhuge Liang.
