History vs. fiction
At White Wolf Mountain the history names Tadun; the novel writes Maodun.
Sanguozhi names the Wuhuan leader the Yuan brothers fled to as Tadun (蹋顿). Chapter 033 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms writes the name as Maodun (冒顿), the Xiongnu chanyu of the early Han: 「田畴引张辽前至白狼山，正遇袁熙、袁尚会合冒顿等数万骑前来。」 The two are three centuries apart; it is a slip of the novel's.
