History vs. fiction
The ministers who advocated rescuing Han in the court were different
In the Records of the Grand Historian, 'The Hereditary House of Tian Jingzhong Wan', it is only recorded: 'Tian Ji said: "If we do not rescue, then Han will be defeated and submit to Wei; it is better to rescue them early."' In the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, Chapter 88, it is recorded: 'Tian Ji and Tian Ying both said: "If Wei defeats Han, then disaster will certainly reach Qi; it is right to rescue them."'
