50 Liu Bei appointed as magistrate of Pingyuan County
 Liu Yu was appointed as the governor of Youzhou and led the troops to Yuyang to campaign against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. With a recommendation from Liu Hui, the governor of Daijun, Xuande went to see Liu Yu. Liu Yu was delighted and appointed Xuande as captain, leading the troops straight to the bandits' lair, engaging in a fierce battle for several days, dampening the enemy's morale. Zhang Chun, known for his arbitrary and cruel behavior, caused discontent among the soldiers. One of his subordinates assassinated him and presented his head, leading the others to surrender to the official army. Seeing the situation worsen, Zhang Ju hanged himself. Thus, Yuyang was pacified. Liu Yu reported Liu Bei's great achievements, and the court pardoned Zhang Fei's previous crime, appointing Liu Bei as the assistant county magistrate of Xiamen County, later as captain of Gaotang County, in charge of public security. Gongsun Zan also presented Chen Xuande's previous achievements, recommending him as a supervisor of unorganized troops, resulting in the court appointing him as magistrate of Pingyuan County. Xuande, in Pingyuan, had abundant resources of money, grain, and military forces, restoring the former grandeur. Liu Yu, for his success in pacifying the bandits, was appointed as the Grand Commandant.
