Romance of the Three Kingdoms Round 9 and Round 10
The ninth and tenth rounds of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms mainly told the story of Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Battle of Changban Slope. In the ninth round, Cao Cao led his army to attack Liu Bei's camp but was stopped by Liu Bei's troops. Cao Cao used fire to attack but was discovered and repelled by Liu Bei's troops. After that, Cao Cao launched a fierce attack, but Liu Bei's troops held on without fighting. In the tenth round, Cao Cao personally led the cavalry to charge at Liu Bei's position in an attempt to launch a surprise attack. However, Liu Bei's troops were already prepared for Cao Cao's defeat. In the process of retreating, Cao Cao was chased by Liu Bei's troops and eventually fled to Wulin. After that, Cao Cao was defeated by Sun Quan again in the Battle of Red Cliff and eventually fled to Hefei. However, Cao Cao was regarded as a powerful statesman and strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. His military and political talents were praised by later generations.
