Confusion of the three kingdom

In the Romance of the Three Kingdom, it seems so thrilling. And even the movie was more exciting with the special features. Yet many people mistook what they saw was real and decided to judge historical figures in their own perception.

For example, Cao Cao was portrayed as wicked guy that corrupted the Han official. That's why many people hate Cao Cao and considered him as a bad figure. In history, Cao Cao was a different person. Though we cannot go back to the past to find the truth, but we can search the ancient text known as 三国志. It gives a very detailed information on the figures in Three Kingdom Era.

Romance of the Three Kingdom is a novel, a story written by Luo GuanZhong. To make the novel special and thrilling, he changed the history and replace some part with interesting details. And this called for many debates and examination to sort out the truth among the fakes.

For example,

1. Zhuge Liang's Empty Fortress Strategy was considered as fake and unlogic, therefore it never happened in history
   
2. During the Burning of Bowangpo, Zhuge Liang was not yet with Liu Bei
   
3. Zhou Yu was never narrow-minded and was not angered to death by Zhuge Liang
   
4. Zhuge Liang did not order to execute Wei Yan
   
5. There is no such thing as the Five Tiger Generals
   
6. Pang Tong did not die at the so-called "Fallen Phoenix Valley".
