Battle of Changban

The Battle of Changban took place in 208 CE during China’s late Eastern Han Dynasty, featuring a chaotic clash between the warlords Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Liu Bei’s forces, outnumbered and vulnerable, had to quickly evacuate their territory while avoiding Cao Cao’s pursuing army. To protect his family and followers, Liu Bei made a dramatic escape by forcing his troops to retreat through dangerous terrain, with his generals fighting off Cao Cao’s soldiers. This battle is notable for showcasing Liu Bei’s leadership, bravery, and strategic retreat under pressure, and it set the stage for subsequent events in the era of the Three Kingdoms.
