遜遣將軍李異、謝旌等將三千人，攻蜀將詹晏、陳鳳。異將水軍，旌將步兵，斷色險要，即破晏等，生降得鳳。又攻房陵太守鄧輔、南鄉太守郭睦，大破之。秭歸大姓文布、鄧凱等合夷兵數千人，首尾西方。遜復部旌討破布、凱。布凱脫走，蜀以為將。遜令人誘之，布帥眾還降。前後斬獲招納，凡數萬計。權以遜為右護軍、鎮西將軍，進封婁侯。〈吴书曰：权嘉逊功德，欲殊显之，虽为上将军列侯，犹欲令历本州举命，乃使扬州牧吕范就辟别驾从事，举茂才。〉時荊州士人新還，仕進或未得所，遜上疏曰：「昔漢高受命，招延英異，光武中興，群俊畢至，苟可以熙隆道教者，未必遠近。今荊州始定，人物未達，臣愚慺慺，乞普加覆載抽拔之恩。令並獲自進，然後四海延頸，思歸大化。」權敬納其言。
