Appears in 12 chapters:

Chapter 36 — Shan Fu's Strategy: Fankou Is Captured; Xu Shu's Affection: Zhuge Liang Is Recommended.
Lu Wang, the sage whose aid made the Zhou: Xu Shu's measure of what Zhuge Liang's consent would mean to Liu Bei.
Chapter 37 — Sima Hui Recommends A Scholar To Liu Bei; Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge.
Water Mirror's true measure of the Sleeping Dragon - Lu Wang, whose foundations held the Zhou eight hundred years - echoed again in the inn ballad and in Liu Bei's letter left at the cottage.
Chapter 38 — Zhuge Liang Plans For The Three Kingdoms; Sun Quan Attacks Xiakou To Take Revenges.
The old man of the River Wei whom King Wen deigned to visit - the deference Liu Bei cites before setting out a third time.
Chapter 43 — Zhuge Liang Disputes With The Southern Scholars; Lu Su Denounces The Majority Opinion.
Lu Wang, the fisherman of the River Wei, cited against the pedants: transcendent ability owes nothing to classical canons.
Chapter 61 — In The River, Zhao Zilong Recovers Liu Shan; With One Letter, Sun Quan Repulses Cao Cao.
Paired with the Duke of Zhou in Dong Zhao's flattery — even Lu Wang's services fall short of Cao Cao's.
Chapter 77 — Cao Cao Is Possessed At Luoyang; Guan Yu Manifests At The Jade Spring Mount.
Invoked in Wang Fu's despair — 'even if Lu Wang could come to life again, he would be helpless in this case.'
Chapter 79 — Brother Oppressing Brother: Cao Zhi Composes Poems; Nephew Harming Uncle: Liu Feng Receives Punishment.
Cited in Meng Da's memorial — the meritorious footsteps in which the Prince was to walk.
Chapter 85 — The First Ruler Confides His Son To A Guardian; The Prime Minister Calmly Settles Five Attacks.
The measure of the impossible in Sima Yi's boast — five routes at once would strain 'even the talent of Lu Wang himself.'
Chapter 88 — Crossing River Lu: The Mang King Is Bound The Second Time; Recognizing A Pretend Surrender: Meng Huo Is Captured The Third Time.
Half of the officers' highest compliment — 'not even Lu Wang or Zhang Liang can equal you!'
Chapter 98 — Pursuing The Shu Army, Wang Shuang Meets His Death; Raiding Chencang, Zhuge Liang Scores A Victory.
Alluded to by Zhuge Ke under the name Lu Wang as the precedent for honouring the old: at ninety he 'gripped the signaling flags and wielded the axes of an army commander in the field. He never spoke of age.' One mention, and 'Lu Wang' matches it exactly.
Chapter 105 — The Lord of Wuxiang Leaves A Plan In The Silken Bag; The Ruler of Wei Removes The Bronze Statue With The Dew Bowl.
Named in Du Fu's second elegy under the name Lu Wang, paired with Yi Yin, as the kind of minister who makes a dynasty rather than merely serves one.
Chapter 119 — The False Surrender: A Wit Scheme Becomes A Vain Plan; The Abdication: Later Seeds Learn From The Ancient.
Named in the elegy for Jiang Wei, under the name Lu Wang: 'Lu Wang fathered his spirit, / Zhuge Liang tutored his mind' - the two ancestries the chapter gives him, one mythical and one real.
