The battle of this text: The Battle of Wancheng;

The Battle of Wancheng (also known as the "Battle of Luoshui") occurred in AD 197, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlord Cao Cao A battle with Zhang Xiu, the scale of the battle was small. (Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu were only equivalent to a small warlord at the time). Wancheng is today's Nanyang, Henan.

The cause of the battle was that Cao Cao held Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang (formerly called Xuxian, and later renamed Xuchang), and held the emperor to command the princes.

Why did Cao Cao go to do Zhang embroidery? Because Yuan Shu was planning to proclaim emperor in Huainan at that time, he couldn't take care of it. Sun Ce left Yuan Shu and became the Jiangdong Xiaobawang, segregating Jiangnan. At this time, Lv Bu occupied Xuzhou and posed a threat to Cao Cao. Zhangxiu stationed in Wancheng and joined forces with Liu Biao in the south to form a huge impact on Cao Cao. Threat, in the rear, Yuan Shao was fighting with Gongsun Zan in Hebei and had no time to pay attention to Cao Cao's side, so Cao Cao first prepared to attack the weaker Zhang Xiu in the south, and planned to solve him first.

In the first month of 197, Cao Cao led the army to conquer Zhang. The enemy, so Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy to learn that Zhang Xiu had surrendered. Zhang Xiu was invited to host a banquet with the general. When Cao Cao was drinking at the banquet, Dian Wei stood behind Cao Cao with a large axe in his hand and kept walking. When Cao Cao made a toast to others, Dian Wei followed Cao Cao. Whoever Cao Cao toasted, Dian Wei clenched his axe and looked down at the person. Zhang Xiu and his men were afraid to look at Dian Wei. Originally Zhang Xiu was ready to surrender solidly. But I never thought that Cao Cao had a special hobby. He even accepted Mrs. Zou, the widow of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, as Ji's concubine. This move made Zhang Xiu very angry. At the same time, Cao Cao sent someone to Zhang Xiu. The former head of the embroidery department, Hu Che'er, gave gold and silver jewelry, which made Zhang Xiu extremely anxious, so Zhang Xiu prepared to turn back.

Zhang Xiu got the advice of the adviser Jia Xu, and took advantage of the night, and attacked Cao Cao. Cao Cao was caught off guard, and in a panic, under the cover of Dian Wei, he led a few Qingqi to escape. Dian Wei and more than ten famous school lieutenants are desperately behind the palace, each with one as ten. There were more and more Zhang Xiujun, more than ten famous school lieutenants successively died in battle, Dianwei also suffered more than ten battle wounds on his body, more and more enemy troops, Dianwei was outnumbered and eventually died in battle. Sergeant Zhang Xiu was shocked by Dianwei's bravery, and he dared not move forward for a long time.

During his escape, Cao Cao was chased by Zhang Xijun because he was chased by Zhang Embroidery. "Jueying" fell to the ground and died. So Cao Cao's son, Cao Ang, took the initiative to give up his horse to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao ride away on his horse. Cao Ang and Cao Cao’s nephew Cao Anmin were quicklySurrounded by Zhang Xiujun, he died in Wancheng in both battles.

At this time, Cao Cao’s army is chaotic and chased by Zhang Embroidery. , Numerous casualties. But after this chaos, the forbidden troops evacuated in an orderly manner. On the way to evacuate, Yu Jin saw Cao Cao’s Qingzhou soldiers burning, killing and looting, so he stepped forward and taught them a lesson, but he never thought that after the Qingzhou soldiers escaped and returned to the establishment, they first filed a complaint with Cao Cao. Attack them. After Jin arrived, his subordinates gave Yu Jin a suggestion that he should clarify to Cao Cao as soon as possible, but Yu Jin didn't take it seriously. He believed that Cao Cao was fair and wise and would not believe in other people's framing, and the top priority was to set up camp to prevent chasing soldiers. This shows that Yu Jin is worthy of being a famous generation. After the ban, he was sealed by Yishoutinghou.

In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao originally had an absolute advantage, and he could have no blood. You can conquer Wancheng and collect Zhang Xiu's army, horses, food and grass, but because of his special habit, Zhang Xiu, who has surrendered, revolts again, and he is defeated and suffered heavy losses. Even Cao Ang was lost. If Cao Ang would not kill each other between Cao Cao's sons in the future, perhaps even the seven-step poem would not appear.

Later Zhang Xiu surrendered Cao Cao again, and repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the later battle of Guandu, but because Zhang Xiu was worried about killing Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, he committed suicide later.
