Gao Xiang

Gao Xiang; Shu officer with the expedition.

With Zhang Yi, brings the force that gets Zhao Zilong out when Jiang Wei's ambush and Ma Zun's returning columns close on him together.

Camped northeast of Jieting with ten thousand and a stockade, told to go to the rescue if Jieting is threatened. Marches out when the attack comes, meets Wei Yan and Wang Ping retreating instead, and proposes the night attack to retake Jieting — which finds the place empty, then ambushed. Driven back to Liliu and on to Yangping Pass.

One of the four leaders called to render account for Jieting. Otherwise appears only within Wang Ping's testimony — met on the road to Liliu, party to the failed night raid to retake Jieting, and hemmed in with Wei Yan until Wang Ping came back for them.

Right General, given the thousand men who drive the wooden oxen and running horses between Saber Pass and the front - the transport that ends Sima Yi's starvation strategy. Loses four or five of the animals to Zhang Hu and Yue Chen's disguised raiders and reports it as a loss; Zhuge Liang tells him it was the point: 'I wished him to capture some of them.'

Runs the deception that makes the trap work: forty or fifty wooden oxen and running horses at a time, loaded with grain and walked back and forth across the hills to be captured. For half a month the Wei troops take them, and each haul tells Sima Yi a little more loudly that Shu's stores are somewhere worth raiding.
