Differences between Fact & Fiction

- Gong Du did not participate in this battle, because historically he was not a member of the Yellow Turbans.

- A lot of Yellow Turbans mentioned on Sanguo Yanyi are fictional.

- Gongsun Zan only participated during the late 180's and early 190's. He fought remnant Yellow Turbans forces.

- Liu Bei, Zhang Fei & Guan Yu also only participated in eliminating the remnant Yellow Turban forces. They were under Zou Jing's command. Zou Jing was a commander under Gongsun Zan.
