 The power of the Eastern Han dynasty fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo's remnants after that and gradually evolved into a struggle for power, which spread throughout the nation progressively.In the 14th-century historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the author Luo Guanzhong employed artistic license rather freely as he changed some details of this campaign to better portray the main characters.For example, there is no historical evidence that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei participated in the campaign, yet their achievements eclipse those of Sun Jian in the novel.
