The story of the Three Kingdoms became popular among the people during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Luo Guanzhong at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty artistically interpreted the folk stories, and finally formed this popular novel.

But he said that the person who advanced Liu Zhang's plan was Yizhou Biejia, whose surname was Zhang, given name Song, and given name Yongnian. He was born with a forehead, a pointed head, a dented nose and exposed teeth, a body less than five feet short, and a speech as loud as a bell. Liu Zhang asked: "What good advice does Bijia have to solve Zhang Lu's crisis?" Song said: "I heard that Cao Cao from Xudu was raiding the Central Plains. Lu Bu and Yuan were both destroyed, and Ma Chao was defeated at a close distance. He is invincible in the world. Lord, be prepared to advance. After offering the gift, Song personally went to Xudu and said that Cao Cao was raising troops to capture Hanzhong in order to attack Lu. However, Lu was too busy to resist the enemy, so how could he dare to look into Shuzhong again? "Liu Zhang was overjoyed and packed up the gold, pearls and brocades as a gift, and sent Zhang Song as an envoy. Song Nao secretly drew a geographical map of Xichuan and kept it in his collection. He led many of his followers to ride on the road to Xudu. Someone has already reported to Jingzhou. Kongming sent people to Xudu to inquire about the news.
