History vs. fiction

In the official history, Sun Jun set up a banquet with hidden soldiers and killed the powerful minister Zhuge Ke in the court. The novel faithfully dramatizes this by having him throw a cup as a signal before killing Zhuge Ke.

  • According to the 'Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, Biography of Zhuge Ke', Sun Jun secretly plotted to kill Zhuge Ke, lured him into the palace and set up wine, 'Zhuge Ke started in alarm, drew his sword but did not get it in time, and Sun Jun's blade struck from all sides', killing Zhuge Ke on the spot. Chapter 108 of the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' basically follows the historical facts, writing that Sun Jun and Teng Yin devised a plan, 'secretly ambushed warriors behind the wall hangings, and at the signal of throwing a cup, killed him at the banquet to eliminate future trouble', and Sun Jun personally killed Zhuge Ke at the banquet, which is indeed historical fact.
