Appears in 5 chapters:
  • Chapter 36 — Shan Fu's Strategy: Fankou Is Captured; Xu Shu's Affection: Zhuge Liang Is Recommended.
    The ancient chancellor of Qi to whom Zhuge Liang 'often compares himself' - and whom, in Xu Shu's opinion, he far surpasses.
  • Chapter 37 — Sima Hui Recommends A Scholar To Liu Bei; Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge.
    The self-comparison Guan Yu finds excessive - and Water Mirror finds insufficient: Zhuge Liang should be measured not against Guan Zhong but against Lu Wang and Zhang Liang.
  • Chapter 38 — Zhuge Liang Plans For The Three Kingdoms; Sun Quan Attacks Xiakou To Take Revenges.
    The minister worth five princely visits in Liu Bei's retort - if Prince Huan could wait on Guan Zhong, a third call on the Sleeping Dragon is no humiliation.
  • Chapter 43 — Zhuge Liang Disputes With The Southern Scholars; Lu Su Denounces The Majority Opinion.
    Zhang Zhao's measuring stick: the minister who made Prince Huan head of the feudal lords - can the man who lost Jingzhou claim his equal?
  • Chapter 57 — Sleeping Dragon Mourns In Chaisang; Young Phoenix Intervenes At Leiyang.
    Lu Su's yardstick for Pang Tong - 'not inferior to the old Guan Zhong or Yue Yi.'
