Role in Games
If the player proceeds chronologically in Dynasty Warriors 4, the battle takes place after the Campaign for Wu Territory and Taishi Ci is recruited during the said conflict. The unification of Jiang Dong is the climatic battle in the third chapter for Wu, which pits Sun Jian's army against Yuan Shu's forces and Liu Xun. The Sun family lead an attack on Huan Castle while simultaneously defending their supply depot. If their supplies are defended, they will be safe from attacks to their rear and can concentrate on Liu Xun. When Sun Ce's army infiltrates the castle, Yuan Shu defends his ally's flank at Wan Castle and Liu Xun flees to the western fort. After he is slain, Jiang Dong is under the Sun family's control.

If the players choose to participate in this battle first, they will experience a follow up battle with Sun Jian facing four foes at once.

The battle returns in Dynasty Warriors 6: Special as a stage that is similar to the Conquest of Wu. Sun Ce marches his forces into Liu Yong's territory and panics Liu Yong and his generals. Taishi Ci, who was staying for a time with Liu Yong, volunteers to drive the invaders back. His ally generals are not so thrilled to give up their lives for their lord, so they abandon the field at the first sight of trouble. Liu Yong soon hears that Sun Ce's main fleet will approach the field and flees from the premise as well. Left with only the soldiers of Jiang Dong, Taishi Ci rallies them to fight with bravery. After he defeats Lu Meng, Huang Gai and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce personally rides with his main army into battle to see the man who defeated his friend.

As the struggle continues, Sun Ce challenges Taishi Ci to a duel and promises to withdraw if his opponent wins. True to his word, he pulls back when he loses. During the following cinematic, Sun Ce remarks that Liu Yong has fled the area and finds Taishi Ci to recruit him for the Sun family.
