History vs. fiction

Northern Song figure, recorded in official history

  • Official histories such as the 'Biographies of Cao Bin and Pan Mei' record: 'Together with Pan Mei and others, they marched north, dividing routes to attack. In the third month, they defeated the Khitan at Gu'an, captured Zhuozhou, and when the enemy came to reinforce, they routed them south of the city. In the fourth month, they again defeated the Khitan at Xincheng with Mi Xin, beheading two hundred. In the fifth month, they fought at Qigou Pass, but the various armies were defeated, retreating to Yizhou and camping by the Yi River. When the emperor heard, he urgently ordered them to be stationed separately at border towns.' The historical novel 'Chapter 15' also records this.
