In Fiction
In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Yan Province was conquered by the warlord Cao Cao, Liu Dai had no choice but to surrender. After losing his domain, he attacked Liu Bei, but was defeated and robbed of his position. Liu Dai followed his advisor Bao Xin's suggestion to join Cao Cao and had since been engaged in suppressing the Yellow Turban remnant forces. As his achievements increased, Liu Dai became more overconfident and he refused to listen to Bao Xin, which resulted in their deaths.
