All of the regular 'Wei' characters (Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, and Xu Zhu) are fought at the Guan Du stage. In reality, only two of the three were at the actual battle.
• Xiahou Dun led the defense of a vital pass to protect against a counterattack by Yuan Shao.
• Xu Zhu was acting as Cao Cao's bodyguard at that time and stopped an assassination attempt.
• Dian Wei had died 6 years before the battle took place, while protecting Cao Cao.
