History vs. fiction
The novel says he shot Wang Bi with an arrow during the rebellion, while the official history records that he was executed by Wang Bi and others.
- novel inventionGeng Ji shot Wang Bi with an arrow
In Chapter 69 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is described that when Geng Ji, Wei Huang, and others rebelled and set fires, Wang Bi fled the city and 'happened to meet Geng Ji, who shot him in the shoulder with an arrow, nearly causing him to fall from his horse.' However, the main text of the Wei Shu·Emperor Wu Ji in Records of the Three Kingdoms records: 'The Chamberlain for the Palace Revenues Geng Ji, the Director of the Imperial Secretariat Wei Huang, and others rebelled, attacked Xu, and burned the camp of the Chancellor's Chief Clerk Wang Bi. Bi, together with Yan Kuang, the Central Agricultural Commander of Yingchuan, suppressed and executed them.' In the official history, not only did Geng Ji not shoot Wang Bi, but he was instead suppressed and executed by Wang Bi and Yan Kuang.
