Appears in 2 chapters:
  • Chapter 89 — The Lord of Wuxiang Uses The Fourth Ruse; The King of Mang Is Captured The Fifth Time.
    The Han commander of the poem's precedent — whose bowed head once drew sweet water from dry wells, as Zhuge Liang's midnight prayer does here.
  • Chapter 109 — A Ruse Of A Han General: Sima Zhao Is Surrounded; Retribution For The House Of Wei: Cao Fang Is Dethroned.
    Alluded to by Wang Tao as the precedent for the prayer that saves the Wei army: the Han general who, besieged and out of water, prostrated himself at a well and was answered with sweet water. The whole Iron Cage Mountain episode is built on his story.
