Appears in 5 chapters:
-
Chapter 34
— Behind The Screen, Lady Cai Overhears A Secret; Across The Tan Torrent, The Dilu Horse Carries Its Master.
Liu Biao's younger son by Lady Cai, 'fairly intelligent' (the prose spells him Liu Zong): the heir the Cai clan and its army-in-hand mean to enthrone over the elder Liu Qi - the secret sorrow behind the whole chapter's plotting.
-
Chapter 40
— Lady Cai Renounces Jingzhou; Zhuge Liang Burns Xinye.
Fourteen, cunning enough to see the trap of his own elevation ('if my brother and uncle come with an army, what explanation can I offer?'), but not strong enough to resist it: his one flash of spirit against surrendering his unfairly gained heritage is talked down by Fu Xuan, Kuai Yue, and Wang Can, and his mother's voice from behind the screen decides it.
-
Chapter 41
— Liu Bei Leads His People Over The River; Zhao Zilong Rescues The Child Lord At Dangyang.
Too frightened to answer Cao Cao's summons, then stripped anyway: seal and commission surrendered, an unwanted Imperial Protectorship of distant Qingzhou forced on him, and on the road north - only Wang Wei beside him - Yu Jin's riders deliver Cao Cao's real reward to him and his mother.
-
Chapter 42
— Screaming Zhang Fei Triumphs At Long Slope Bridge; Defeated Liu Bei Marches To Hanjin.
His murder echoes on: the news of their young lord's death is what moves Liu Xin and Deng Yi to surrender Jingzhou City without a fight.
-
Chapter 43
— Zhuge Liang Disputes With The Southern Scholars; Lu Su Denounces The Majority Opinion.
Cited twice: Cao Cao's letter brags of taking him prisoner, and Zhuge Liang writes him off as 'a stupid lad, misled by specious words' who fell victim to the ferocity he surrendered to.
