The influence of Battle of Red Cliffs:
Battle of Red Cliffs's failure made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the whole country in a short time, while Sun and Liu started the development of their respective forces through Battle of Red Cliffs's victory. After Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, his strength grew rapidly and he made a profit. Sun Quan led the army to attack Hefei many times, which was unfavorable in several wars.
After returning to the north, Cao Cao spent five years recuperating and pacifying Guanzhong before conquering Sun Quan on a large scale. This war formed the embryonic form of the third part of the world and laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.
