History vs. fiction

Chaoge Chief

  • The official history 'Records of the Three Kingdoms', Wei Shu, Biography of Ren Cheng and Chen Xiao Wang, commentary quoting 'Shi Yu' states: 'Using a cart to carry a waste basket, inside was hidden the Chaoge Chief Wu Zhi to plot.' 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' Chapter 72 describes it more vividly: 'Secretly invited the Chaoge Chief Wu Zhi into the inner mansion to discuss; fearing that someone might know, he used a large bamboo basket to hide Wu Zhi inside, only saying that silk rolls were inside.'
