  • Chapter 107 — The Ruler of Wei Hands Over The Power To Sima Yi; Jiang Wei Is Defeated At Ox Head Hills.
    Cao Shuang's Military Adviser, and the chapter turns his decision into its moral centre. Proposes riding to the Emperor with what troops they have, then hesitates — 'If Sima Yi asks us to join him, should we?' — and is settled by his sister. Forces the gate with Lu Zhu, reaches Cao Shuang with the news that the city is closed, and is spared and confirmed in office afterwards: 'Had I not listened to the advice of my sister, I would have walked in the way of unrighteousness.'
