His father Jun served as Chancellor of Chen.' The entire text does not record that Luo Tong ever engaged in a verbal battle with Zhuge Liang. In Chapter 043 of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, 'At that time, Zhang Wen and Luo Tong among the guests wanted to question him again,' but were suddenly sternly stopped by Huang Gai who entered from outside.
