文韶條上援黔、防境機宜，以兵事屬按察使席寶田，督其部將蘇元春、龔繼昌等進剿，斬首逆張秀眉烏鴉坡，黔境平。 Wenshao laid out in detail how to aid Guizhou and guard the frontier, put military affairs in the hands of Surveillance Commissioner Xi Baotian, and directed subordinates such as Su Yuanchun and Gong Jichang in the campaign; the rebel leader Zhang Xiumei was beheaded at Wuyapo, and Guizhou was pacified.

廣西軍既敗於越，朝旨免鼎新，以提督蘇元春統其軍，而之洞復奏遣提督馮子材、總兵王孝祺等，皆宿將，於是滇、越兩軍合扼鎮南關，殊死戰，遂克諒山。 After the Guangxi army's defeat in Vietnam, Pan Dingxin was removed and Provincial Commander Su Yuanchun took over; Zhidong then sent veteran commanders Feng Zicai and Wang Xiaoqi; Yunnan and Guangxi forces united at Zhennanguan, fought a desperate battle, and captured Lang Son.
