Differences between Fact & Fiction

 * Li Su was not sent to bribe Lü Bu away from Ding Yuan. It is not known who was sent.
 * The methods of convincing Lü Bu to join Dong Zhuo's army are unknown. However, it is known that Red Hare wasn't offered.
 * Dong Zhuo did throw a halberd or axe at Lü Bu, but it is not known if this was because of Lü Bu's affair with Dong Zhuo's maid.
 * The Battle of Hu Lao Gate never took place. It was made up by Luo Guanzhong.
 * Same goes for the Battle of Si Shui Gate.
 * Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not participate in the campaign. They were fighting remnant Yellow Turbans in the north, under Gongsun Zan.
 * Thus the three brothers did not duel Lü Bu. Lü Bu battled Sun Jian twice, and was routed each time.
 * Guan Yu did not kill Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was killed in battle with Sun Jian's forces.
 * Yuan Shu did stop sending supplies to Sun Jian, but reversed this decision later on. Sun Jian was never truly damaged by the withholding of supplies.
 * Zhang Yang, Kong Rong, Ma Teng, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan and Yu Fuluo were not part of the coalition.
 * Sun Jian acted as an officer under Yuan Shu, he was not a direct coalition member.
 * Xiahou Dun did not kill Xu Rong.
