Why is Guandu famous?

Speaking of zhongmou county's fame, it mainly stems from the vigorous battle of Guandu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, political corruption and chaos led to the Yellow Scarf Uprising. In June of the fourth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao selected 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 war horses in an attempt to attack Xudu South, which was the prelude to the battle of Guandu.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao declared war publicly for some reason. In the end, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak, and Yuan Shao fled back to the north with only 800 riders, and his strength was greatly reduced. Cao Cao also laid the foundation for unifying northern China and began to win the Central Plains.
