Profile
Pan Ju is a figure who appears in Chapter 107 of the Romance as the officer guarding the gate of Cao Shuang's residence. When Sima Yi raises troops and seizes the arsenal, Cao Shuang's wife, Lady Liu, summons the officer guarding the residence and asks the reason; Pan Ju says he will go and find out, leads several dozen archers and crossbowmen up onto the gate tower, and has his men shoot arrows down wildly at Sima Yi as he passes in front of the residence. Only when the Lieutenant General Sun Qian (孫謙) restrains him from behind three times in succession does Pan Ju stop shooting. Romance, Ch. 107 §3–4
Of the Romance's 120 chapters he appears in only one, Chapter 107, and no chapter has his name in its title. The name Pan Ju is found neither in Chen Shou's main text nor in Pei Songzhi's commentary. The Biography of Cao Shuang in Chen Shou's main text records only that in the 1st month of the 10th year of Zhengshi (249), when the emperor's carriage went to pay respects at the Gaoping Mausoleum and Cao Shuang and his brothers all went with it, Sima Xuanwang marshalled his troops, first seized the arsenal and then went out to station himself at the floating bridge over the Luo River.

Someone has already brought word to Cao Shuang's house, and Cao Shuang's wife, Lady Liu, hurries out before the hall, summons the officer guarding the residence and asks, 'My lord is away now; what does Zhongda mean by raising troops?'
