** By the time that Zilong joins Liu Bei's army as a foot soldier, his historical counterpart had been a general for a over a decade, and had served Liu Bei (in his second stint under the man) for nearly eight years.
** The historical Zhao Yun's rescue at Changbang appears to have been spontaneous rather than ordered, as subordinates of Liu Bei believed that he had went towards Cao Cao's army to defect.
** History does not say how Zhao Yun died, but it was likely not in a suicidal charge.
