The Novel's Reworking #

Chapter 5 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms reworks Hua Xiong's death into the dramatic scene in which Guan Yu kills the general after wine has been warmed for him.Compare the Two Versions; when doing so, retain the limitation that the historical account does not identify the specific person who struck the fatal blow.
