more on the Three Kingdom..

during the first battle scene when zhao yun 'just joined' the army of Liu bei, zhuge liang appeared to 'save' them. this is funny and not true. in actual history this battle could had never happened cos zhuge liang couldnt appeared at that time. he should still be a young boy!

Zhao Yun did rescue Ah Dou, but he held the infant in his front armour instead at the back. In the show, when Zhao Yun found the baby, his mothers were dead. In reality, one of his mothers was still alive and was resting by the well with the baby (She was injured). To prevent hindrance, she committed suicide by jumping into the well. When Zhao Yun successfully brought Ah Dou back to Liu Bei.

then in the novel, Liu bei actually threw the infant onto the ground, saying that he nearly caused the death of a great general (referring to Zhao Yun).

and when liu bei appointed Guan Gong(guanyu), Zhangfei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong as 5 tigers generals, liu bei merely became a 'wang' (king) not emperor(di) yet. cos that time cao cao still alive, cao cao till his death did NOT became emperor at all but only to the 'king' status. it was his son cao pi that overthrew the last Han emperor han xian di and formed the wei kingdom. then liu bei, since he's a 'liu', he assumed the throne of Shu Han emperor.

on a side note, historically, there is no record of 5 tiger generals. only 4. guan, zhang, ma and huang. it is only in san guo novel then we have 5 generals. however, to me 4 become 5, its fine too. cos even if zhao yun didnt have the title, the 5 of them are really the 'top 5' warriors in Shu kingdom. the first 4 are generals fighting away from liu bei, while historically, zhao yun was liu bei's fav general and close protector and go to battle together with liu bei or zhuge liang.
