The current entry says that he was captured by Cao Cao and then given a good post on account of his writing abilities, but I can't find any reference to that in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. What it does say in there is that he was eventually taken in by a man named Taizu (太祖) who pardoned him for his service to Yuan Shao. Is the Cao Cao bit an invention from Romance?

I'm interested in this question too, but too deep in final exam prep to try to find an answer right now.
