这时，正遇上度尚被调回京都洛阳，桓帝下诏，任命他为中郎将，并率领步兵和骑兵共二万余人，南下援救陈球。度尚征发各郡的地方军队，联合进行讨伐，大破朱盖、胡兰等叛军，斩杀胡兰等三千余人。朝廷重新任命度尚为荆州刺史。
时度尚征还京师，诏以尚为中郎将，率步骑二万馀人救球，发诸郡兵并势讨击，大破之，斩兰等首三千馀级，复以尚为荆州刺史。
It so happened at this time that Du Shang had been recalled to Luoyang, but Emperor Huan issued an imperial edict appointing him as Colonel of the Gentlemen of the Palace Guard and gave him over 20,000 foot and horse soldiers to go south and save Chen Qiu. He mobilised troops from different prefectures, launched joint attacks and routed the rebels under Zhu Gai and Hu Lan, killing more than 3,000 including Hu Lan. The imperial court reappointed Du Shang as the governor of Jingzhou.
