In the Romance he appears in only 1 of the 120 chapters, Chapter 118; no chapter has his name in its title, and this single passage is the only place where his name appears. He does not appear in Chen Shou's main text and is recorded only in Pei Songzhi's commentary. The Biography of the Later Sovereign in Chen Shou's main text records that when Deng Ai reached the north of the city, the Later Sovereign, with a coffin carried on a cart and himself bound, went to the gate of the army camp, and that Deng Ai appointed the Later Sovereign General of Agile Cavalry.

In the Romance
In Chapter 118 of the Romance, the Later Sovereign follows Qiao Zhou's advice and has a letter of surrender drawn up, and sends the Palace Attendant Zhang Shao, whom he had privately appointed, and the Commandant Escort of Imperial Equipages Deng Liang, together with Qiao Zhou, to carry the imperial seal to Luocheng and ask to surrender. Deng Ai reads the letter of surrender with great delight, writes a reply and gives it to the three men so that they may return to Chengdu and settle the people's minds. Having read the reply, the Later Sovereign has the Minister Coachman Jiang Xian take an edict ordering Jiang Wei to surrender quickly, and sends the Gentleman of the Imperial Secretariat Li Hu to present the registers to Deng Ai. Romance, Ch. 118 §7–8
The next day the Wei army arrives in force, and the Later Sovereign, leading the crown prince, the princes and more than sixty officials, with his own hands bound behind him and a coffin carried on a cart, goes out ten li beyond the north gate and surrenders. Deng Ai helps the Later Sovereign up, unties his bonds with his own hands, burns the coffin and enters the city with their carriages side by side. Romance, Ch. 118 §13
When the people of Chengdu all come out with incense and flowers to welcome him, Deng Ai appoints the Later Sovereign General of Agile Cavalry and gives the remaining civil and military officials posts according to their rank. He asks the Later Sovereign to return to the palace, puts up proclamations to reassure the people and takes over the granaries and storehouses, and then orders the Minister of Ceremonies Zhang Jun and the Attendant Officer with Separate Carriage of Yi Province Zhang Shao to summon and pacify the soldiers and people of each commandery. He also sends someone to persuade Jiang Wei to submit, and at the same time sends men to Luoyang to report the victory. The Romance does not bring Zhang Jun on stage again after this.
