Chapter 108
— In The Snow, Ding Feng Wins A Victory; At A Banquet, Sun Jun Executes A Secret Plan.
One of Zhuge Ke's own officers. As the two-hundred-thousand army sets out, a stream of white vapour rises from the ground and swallows it, and he reads it: 'It is a white rainbow, and it bodes ill to the army. I advise you, O Imperial Guardian, to return and not march against Wei.' Zhuge Ke orders him executed for blunting the army's keenness; his colleagues beg him off and he loses all rank instead. The same white rainbow rises in front of Zhuge Ke's carriage on the last morning of his life.
