Li Fu 李輔

In Chapter 94 of the Romance, as Sima Yi, having received the emperor's edict, is summoning the troops of the various routes at Wancheng, a member of the household of Shen Yi, Administrator of Jincheng, comes and tells him in detail of Meng Da's plan to rebel. Then Meng Da's confidant Li Fu and Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian also come forward together with a written accusation and inform on him. Saying that Meng Da must surely be conspiring secretly with Zhuge Liang, so he will capture him first, Sima Yi, without waiting for an imperial decree, has his troops cover two days' march in one and heads for Xincheng.

At Xincheng, Meng Da sets a date to rise together with Shen Yi, Administrator of Jincheng, and Shen Dan, Administrator of Shangyong, but the two only feign agreement and wait to act as insiders once the Wei army arrives.
