The result and influence of the battle of Guandu
The battle of Guandu became a typical war case in China's history in which the weak prevailed over the strong and the few prevailed over the many. With his extraordinary intelligence and courage, Cao Cao wrote the most brilliant page in his military career. The battle of Guandu was a key battle to change the forces of Yuan and Cao, which made the northern part of China move from division to unification at that time, and it had an extremely important impact on the development of the history of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Jun's victory in this war was not accidental. Although the Yuan-Cao merger war was a struggle between feudal separatist forces, it achieved regional unity and objectively met the wishes of the people. After Guandu World War I, Cao Cao finally reversed his previous disadvantage to Yuan Shao and laid the foundation for his unification of the North.
One of the famous examples of "the strength of both sides is different, and the weak gives up the first step and then attacks the enemy, thus winning". The outcome of the war depends on the political, military and economic conditions of both sides, but first of all, it is the contest of military strength of both sides. In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's strength was obviously inferior to Yuan Shao's, and both manpower and material resources occupied an absolute advantage. But he attacked more with less, took advantage of it, and finally won a great victory. The way to win is worth pondering.
