The pitiful, fat Supreme General Cao Zhen

edit

A few days earlier, when I went through some materials on Zhuge's 1st & 2nd expedition, I again looked into this character, and I happened to notice some modern commentators on stating Wu Zhi and Cao Hong maliciously teased on Zhen's body shape without giving out their source, so I spent some time on the issue, and indeed found related records in Weilue. I'll paste the passages into the main article as cn soon.

Never imagined Cao Zhen as a clump of fat previously... so bad for him, he must be overburdened by his weight as a cavalry general when he tailed Liu Bei at Changban.----EkmanLi (talk) 08:56, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
