Appears in 2 chapters:
  • Chapter 108 — In The Snow, Ding Feng Wins A Victory; At A Banquet, Sun Jun Executes A Secret Plan.
    Gives the one piece of advice that would have saved the campaign. Chair of the Secretariat, he opposes the invasion of Wu: 'Remember what a strong defense to Wu is the Great River. The country has been many times attacked by our ancestors, but never conquered. Rather let us all hold what we have till the time be expedient to possess the whole empire.' Overruled by both Simas.
  • Chapter 110 — Riding Alone, Wen Yang Repulses A Brave Force; Following The River, Jiang Wei Defeats The Enemy.
    The winning plan is his. Chair of the Secretariat and on the expedition, he reads Guanqiu Jian's withdrawal correctly as a reaction to Sun Jun's threat to Shouchun, and proposes the three-army answer — Xiangcheng, Lojia and Shouchun at once — naming Deng Ai for Lojia because 'the Imperial Protector of Yanzhou, Deng Ai, is a man of tactics'. Sima Shi adopts it entire.
