官渡之战 / Guandu Campaign
Hanji 1026 supplies the eastern precondition before the campaign itself is narrated. After eliminating 吕布 at 下邳, 曹操 absorbs 张辽, 张霸, and other local-force actors; the episode says this expands territory and troops enough to make a later contest with 袁绍 more plausible.
官渡之战 / Guandu Campaign enters this wiki branch through Hanji 1027 as the looming 曹操-袁绍 confrontation that gives 刘表’s 荆州 position its strategic stakes. The episode does not narrate the battle itself; it uses the pre-Guandu moment to show why 张献 and 桓阶 attaching southern commanderies to Cao Cao matters.
In this source, the campaign is a timing horizon. If Liu Biao can aid Yuan Shao, Cao Cao faces pressure from the south while contesting the north; if southern Jingzhou defects toward Cao Cao, Liu Biao is constrained before he can become Yuan Shao’s effective support.
