Appears in 2 chapters:
  • Chapter 60 — Zhang Song Turns The Table On Yang Xiu; Pang Tong Proposes The Occupation Of Shu.
    Zhang Song's yardstick for Yizhou's administrators — 'talented as Lin Xiangru.'
  • Chapter 66 — Armed With Sword, Guan Yu Goes To A Feast Alone; For The State, Empress Fu Offers Her Life.
    Guan Yu's chosen model for the banquet: the Zhao envoy who 'had not the force even to bind a chicken' yet faced down Qin at Shengchi Lake — the poem replays the comparison.
