I think his loyal and competent officers and strategists were the actual ones that ensured his victory, and not him. However, I'm not saying that he was the only one out for power (Cao Cao/Sun Quan), at least the others didn't sugarcoat their goals using the restoration of the Han as an excuse, and we all know that's just B.S.
