In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, powerful men fought for independence and competed for the Central Plains. At that time, Yuan Shao owned four states, namely, Hebei, Qinghai, Youyou and Hebei. He relied on his abundant soldiers and food, and plotted to destroy Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Henan. In January of the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao led 1, soldiers to the south. Prior to this, Cao Cao had defeated Liu Bei, who was allied with Yuan Shao, and moved to Guandu, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In April, Cao Cao attacked Yan Liang, the general of Yuan, and defeated Yuan Jun in Baima (now the slippery county of Henan Province). Yuan Shao lost in the first battle, his spirit was frustrated, and he changed his adventurous attack into a camp. The two armies fought against each other in Guandu for several months. In the meantime, Cao Cao once wanted to defend Xuchang (now Xu Changdong, Henan Province) because of the shortage of soldiers and food. Xun Yu, the counselor, believes that Cao Jun is weak and strong, so withdrawing troops will take advantage of it at this time; On the other hand, Yuan Jun underestimates his enemy, is divided internally, and the stalemate will change after a long time, which is a surprise victory. Cao Cao took his word and sent troops to attack and burn Yuan Jun's grain truck. He also led an elite 5 troops to attack the grain depot in Yuan Junwu's nest (now in Henan), wiped out Yuan Jun and burned all the stored grain. The news came that Yuan Shao and his men were shaken and surrendered in succession. Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack on all fronts, wiping out more than 7, enemies, and Yuan Shao and his son fled north with only 8. The battle of Guandu laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north, and Yuan Shao never recovered. The battle of Guandu is a famous example in China's ancient war history. Battle of Red Cliffs refers to the famous battle in which the combined forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei defeated 8, Cao Jun in Chibi of the Yangtze River (now northwest of chibi city, Hubei Province) in the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 28) and thus laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. This is one of the famous wars in China's history, in which the weak defeated the strong and the few defeated the many. It is also the most famous one among the "three major battles" in the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the first large-scale river battle in the Yangtze River basin in China's history, which indicates that China's military and political center is no longer limited to the Yellow River basin. Sun and Liu joined forces to attack Cao Jun with fire, and Cao Cao returned to the north. Sun and Liu each took a part of Jingzhou.
