Appears in 2 chapters:
  • Chapter 100 — Raiding A Camp, The Shu Soldiers Defeat Cao Zhen; Contesting Array Battles, Zhuge Liang Shames Sima Yi.
    Alluded to once, as Sun Bin's victim in the original decreasing-stove stratagem that Yang Yi cites and Zhuge Liang inverts.
  • Chapter 109 — A Ruse Of A Han General: Sima Zhao Is Surrounded; Retribution For The House Of Wei: Cao Fang Is Dethroned.
    Alluded to in the chapter's poem on the trapping of Sima Zhao - 'When Pang Juan first crossed the Maling Hills, / His strategy was reckoned fine' - the classic example of a general walked into a defile he could not leave.
