夏侯霸
Zhang Ni met the General of Chariots and Cavalry Xiahou Ba who said to him: "Though you and I are not acquainted yet I confide my feelings to you as if we were old friends. You should understand this intention." Zhang Nì answered: "I do not yet know you and you do not yet know me. When great principles lead elsewhere, how can you speak of confiding feelings? Let us after three years speak again." A wise scholar took this as a praiseworthy anecdote of Zhang Ni's character.
