Is “In the novel, Liao Hua fought as Guan Yu's vanguard in his early years, while the official history only records his later defense with Jiang Wei.” true?

In Chapter 73 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are many episodes of Liao Hua accompanying Guan Yu in his early years: "Yunchang then ordered Liao Hua as vanguard, Guan Ping as deputy general, and himself commanded the central army." However, in Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Shu, Biographies of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Jiang Wei, Liao Hua's records are concentrated in the late Shu Han period: "It is appropriate to send Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to lead troops to guard Yang'an Pass and Yinping Bridgehead separately, to prevent unforeseen events."
