Mao Jie

Mao Jie is an advisor in service of Cao Cao during the late Han Dynasty. He was known for his efficiency in dealing with domestic policies and promoting agriculture. During the Battle of Chibi, he and Yu Jin were both made naval commanders after the deaths of their predecessors Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Later on, he lost favor within the court and was stripped of his title.

Historical Information
During his young adult years, Mao Jie was nominated as an official in his home county of Pingqui for his loyalty and conduct. As time went on, he came to serve Cao Cao as an attendant at Xuchang. It was he who advised his lord to use the Emperor's influence in commanding the other officials and maintaining order.

Mao Jie was then given the task of electing new officials for Cao Cao, a position he had kept even after the formal establishment of Wei. But because of his positive ties with Cao Pi, his life would take a turn for the worse. He was immediately deposed due to false allegations made by Bai Jie, a supporter of Cao Zhi. Forced to retire in disgrace, he eventually died due to natural causes.
