In the Romance
In Chapter 91 of the Romance, Zhuge Liang, having pacified the south and returned, submits a memorial to the Later Sovereign asking to campaign in the north. The Later Sovereign worries that it will tax his body and mind, and the Grand Astrologer Qiao Zhou remonstrates citing the signs in the heavens, but Zhuge Liang does not listen; he decides on the civil and military officials who are to remain in Chengdu, leaving Guo Youzhi, Dong Yun, Fei Yi and others as Palace Attendants in overall charge of affairs within the palace, among other arrangements. Romance, Ch. 91 §39–40
Having received the edict, Zhuge Liang returns to his headquarters, summons the generals to hear their orders, and sets out the order of posts beginning with Wei Yan as Commander of the Vanguard, Zhang Yi as Commander of the Front Army and Wang Ping as General of the Standard. Among them is 'Front Protector of the Army: Xu Yun, Lieutenant General and Marquis of Hancheng Village', followed by the Left Protector of the Army Ding Xian, the Right Protector of the Army Liu Min and the Rear Protector of the Army Shangguan Yong. Romance, Ch. 91 §41–42
All the officials listed follow Zhuge Liang, Grand Commander Who Pacifies the North, Chancellor, Marquis of Wuxiang, Governor of Yi Province and Director of Internal and External Affairs, and Zhuge Liang chooses the bingyin day in the 3rd month of spring of the 5th year of Jianxing (227) to raise his army and attack Wei. In the Romance this list is the only place where Xu Yun's name appears, and his later deeds are not depicted. Romance, Ch. 91 §43
