    Paired with Jiang Qin over the first army in the expedition's order of battle.
  • Chapter 48 — Banquet On The Great River, Cao Cao Sings A Song; Battle On Water, Northerners Fight With Chained Ships.

  • Chapter 51 — Cao Ren Withstands The South Land; Zhuge Liang Angers Zhou Yu.

  • Chapter 55 — Liu Bei Rouses The Spirit Of Lady Sun; Zhuge Liang A Second Time Angers Zhou Yu.
    Bears the Marquis' sword beside Jiang Qin under the two-heads order - the pursuit that arrives one shamed roadblock too late.
  • Chapter 61 — In The River, Zhao Zilong Recovers Liu Shan; With One Letter, Sun Quan Repulses Cao Cao.
    Twice at Cao Cao's heels — pressing the first retreat with Han Dang, then in the four-general ambush at the parley.

    Zhou Tai; covers Sun Quan's escape at Xiaoyao Ford with his body - takes the 14 wound scars later listed at the post-campaign banquet.
  • Chapter 68 — Gan Ning's Hundred Horsemen Raid The Northern Camp; Zuo Ci's Flung-Down Cup Fools Cao Cao.
    Cuts into the press three times at Ruxu — out with his lord, back for him when he is not behind, out again, then once more for Xu Sheng. At the banquet Sun Quan has him bare his skin and drink a goblet for every scar ('it is as if your skin had been engraved and painted'), and gives him a green silk parasol to carry as his glory.
  • Chapter 75 — Guan Yu Has A Scraped-Bone Surgery; Lu Meng Crosses The River In White Robe.
    One of the seven generals of the white-robed expedition — and Hua Tuo's old patient, the credential by which Guan Ping recognizes the surgeon.

    Closes the second gully of the encirclement trap on Guan Yu.
  • Chapter 78 — Treating A Headache, A Famous Physician Dies; Giving The Last Words, The Crafty Hero Departs.

    Named second-in-command of the Yiling relief army.

    Takes the left wing of the Huang Zhong ambush, loses his brother Zhou Ping to Guan Xing's sword, and probes the new commander over relieving Sun Huan — reading the refusal as proof the student 'had no plan ready.'
  • Chapter 84 — Lu Xun Burns All Consecutive Camps; Zhuge Liang Plans The Eight-Array Maze.
    Fires the south-bank camps in the great burning — and, meeting the fleeing Mang king in the rout, cuts Shamoke down after a short fight.
