Checked on the Yangzi at Red Cliffs (208), the northern warlord Cao Cao (Ts’ao Ts’ao) turned against the warlords of the northwest and advanced on a large combined force under Ma Chao and Hun Sui. Using a bold oblique approach, he attacked and destroyed the Allied army at Huayin, at the junction of the Wei and Yellow Rivers. Victory secured the strategic Wei Valley as far as Chang’an.
