Amid civil war which led to the fall of the Han, the northern warlord Gongsun Zan advanced to meet his rival Yuan Shao south of the Jie Bridge (Jieqiao) on the Qing River in modern Hebei. Yuan’s disciplined vanguard under Qu Yi repulsed Gongsun’s cavalry and Yuan won a decisive victory. Gongsun was eventually defeated and committed suicide (199) and in 200 Yuan Shao was stopped at Guandu.
