In the novel, Zhang Jiao was the leader of a [[Daoism|Daoist]] healing cult along with his brothers. After gaining wide support among the peasants, he moved to overthrow the emperor and establish a communal Daoist empire. Zhang Jiao is depicted as a [[sorcerer]] who conjures illusions and changes the weather. [[Liu Bei]] finds the source of the magic and dispels it, allowing the Allied forces to attack Zhang Jiao directly.
