History vs. fiction

A figure from the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded in official history.

  • Official histories such as the 'Biographies of Cao Bin and Pan Mei' record: 'Again appointed to internal duties, he was respectful and guarded his position, still fearing to commit faults, how would he dare to form improper connections?' He was promoted to the post of Guest Envoy, and together with Wang Quanbin and Guo Jin led cavalry to attack Pingle County in Hedong, surrendering their generals Wang Chao, Hou Balong and others, 1,800 men, and capturing over 1,000. Subsequently, the rebel general Wei Jin led troops to reinforce, and they defeated him in three battles. Thus, Pingle was established as the Pingjin Army.' The novel 'Chapter 07' also records this.
