Appears in 5 chapters:

Chapter 111 — Deng Ai Outwits Jiang Wei; Zhuge Dan Battles Sima Zhao.
Given five thousand troops with Deng Zhong and concealed in Block Valley, and one of the two who break out on Jiang Wei's column when it turns to retire out of the defile.
Chapter 113 — Ding Feng Makes A Plan To Slay Sun Chen; Jiang Wei Arrays A Battle To Defeat Deng Ai.
Paired with Deng Zhong for the other flank of the night attack on Wang Han and Jiang Bin's camp - the assault that succeeds only because the tunnel had been dug before the camp was pitched.
Chapter 115 — Listening To Slander, The Latter Ruler Recalls His Army; Living In Farms, Jiang Wei Avoids Disaster.
Given the Qishan camps when Deng Ai takes the main body to Taoyang, and very nearly loses them: Zhang Yi's division attacks with the defenders too few to hold, and 'it looked as though the defenders must soon give in, when the sudden appearance of Deng Ai made all the difference.'
Chapter 117 — Deng Ai Gets Through The Yinping Mountains; Zhuge Zhan Falls In The Battlefield Of Mianzhu.
Sent with Deng Zhong to reach Mianzhu ahead of any Shu force, on pain of death - and runs from Zhuge Liang's wooden image alongside him, 'the cold sweat of terror' pouring down. Told that losing the next battle will cost him his life, he loses it too and is badly wounded; Deng Ai forbears the penalty when he sees the wounds.
Chapter 118 — Weeping At The Ancestral Temple, A Filial Prince Dies; Marching To The West River Land, Two Leaders Competes.
Made Imperial Protector of Yizhou by Deng Ai on his own authority - the single appointment that does most to convince Luoyang that Deng Ai means to keep the kingdom he has taken.
