Zhang Ti

Dies in the field, and the chapter gives him its last great line of defiance. Prime Minister of Wu, he draws up the whole defensive scheme - Wu Yan to Jiangling, Sun Xin to Xiakou, himself with Shen Zong and Zhuge Xing at Niuzhu - and when Zhuge Xing tells him it is hopeless answers 'We all know that the land is doomed. But if we make no defense, and no one dies for his country, shall we not be shamed?' Zhou Zhi breaks into the camp, and 'Zhang Ti resisted stubbornly, but was soon slain in a melee.' Sima Yan afterwards gives ranks to his sons and grandsons.
