王險城未下，故右渠之大臣成巳又反，復攻吏。 But the fortress of Wanggeom had not yet fallen. Cheng Ji, one of Ugeo's former ministers, raised another rebellion and turned his forces against the Han officials.

左將軍使右渠子長降、相路人之子最告諭其民，誅成巳，以故遂定朝鮮，為四郡。 The Left General had Ugeo's son, Changjiang, surrender and had Lu Ren's son, Zui, issue a proclamation to the people. He executed Cheng Ji, and with this, Joseon was at last pacified and divided into four commanderies.
