Life

During the expedition he insulted Zhang and made him very angry. However, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo served on the same campaign, and both of them also were unhappy with Zhang Wen's leadership as well.

Tao Qian was responsible for starting the careers of Wang Lang, Zhu Zhi, and Chen Deng, all of whom would play fairly important roles in the Three Kingdoms period.

Tao Qian was instrumental in the rise of Liu Bei in that when Liu Bei came to his help, Tao Qian provided Liu Bei with several thousand troops of Danyang (丹阳兵), the crack troop among all warlords. Danyang troops were famous for their fighting capabilities and it was due to this exceptional capability, Tao Qian was able to maintain a stalemate with Cao Cao despite the fact that he lacked any capable commanders like Cao Cao had. Most of these troops remained loyal to Liu Bei and followed him for years until he finally established himself, a rather rare occurrence at the time when loyalty was not honored to the extreme when warlords came and went, especially when Liu Bei was the loser on the run for most of time in his early years in the power struggle against other warlords. In 194, as Tao Qian was on his deathbed, he resolved to hand over his domain to Liu Bei, and soon after he died.
