Profile
Shi Ji is a Wu general who appears in Chapter 83 of the Romance, a lieutenant of the vanguard commander Pan Zhang. In the 1st month of spring in the 2nd year of Zhangwu (222), when Huang Zhong, having heard that Liu Bei said old generals are of no use, comes out before the Wu lines and challenges Pan Zhang alone to fight, Shi Ji comes out with Pan Zhang and, scorning Huang Zhong as old, levels his spear and rides out to fight. But before they have fought three bouts, he is cut down from his horse by a single stroke of Huang Zhong's blade. Romance, Ch. 83 §1 · 3
Of the 120 chapters of the Romance he appears only in Chapter 83, and no chapter has his name in its title. He does not appear in Chen Shou's main text or in Pei Songzhi's commentary. Chen Shou's main text, in the Biography of Huang Zhong, records that in the 24th year of Jian'an (219) Liu Bei, having become King of Hanzhong, wished to make Huang Zhong General of the Rear, and in the end placed him in the same rank as Guan Yu and the others and granted him the rank of Marquis Within the Pass, and that Huang Zhong died the following year.

In the Romance
In Chapter 83 of the Romance, in the 1st month of spring in the 2nd year of Zhangwu (222), Huang Zhong, the Wuwei General of the Rear, who has set out with Liu Bei to attack Wu, hears that Liu Bei has said old generals are of no use; he takes up his blade, mounts his horse and, with only five or six close followers, goes straight to the camp at Yiling. He says that though he is past seventy he still eats ten jin of meat, can draw a bow of two dan and can ride a horse that runs a thousand li, and tells them to watch him cut down a general and see whether or not he is old. When word comes that the Wu vanguard has arrived, Huang Zhong, ignoring Feng Xi and the others who try to stop him, gallops out. Romance, Ch. 83 §1–3
When Huang Zhong reins in his horse before the Wu lines, holds his blade crosswise and challenges the vanguard commander Pan Zhang alone to fight, Pan Zhang rides out bringing his lieutenant Shi Ji. Shi Ji, scorning Huang Zhong as old, levels his spear and comes out to fight, but before they have fought three bouts he is cut down from his horse by a single stroke of Huang Zhong's blade. Pan Zhang, in a great rage, comes to fight Huang Zhong wielding the Green Dragon Blade that Lord Guan used to bear, but after several bouts neither side has the advantage. Romance, Ch. 83 §3
When Huang Zhong fights ferociously with all his strength, Pan Zhang, judging that he cannot withstand him, turns his horse and flees, and Huang Zhong, pressing his advantage, gives chase and returns with a complete victory. But the next day, chasing Pan Zhang, who again flees, for more than thirty li, Huang Zhong is trapped by ambushers emerging on all sides and is struck in the hollow of the shoulder by an arrow shot by the Wu general Ma Zhong. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao rescue him, but as he is old and his vigor has waned, and the arrow wound tears open, his illness becomes very grave. Romance, Ch. 83 §4–6
