濮阳之战 / Puyang Battle (Late Han)
濮阳之战 / Puyang Battle (Late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 980 as an earlier 兖州 crisis before 曹操’s later base-recovery sequence in Hanji 986 and Hanji 987. 濮阳田氏 make Cao Cao believe the city can be taken through inside support, but the move becomes a trap once he enters 濮阳 and faces 吕布’s counterattack.
The battle matters less as a clean victory than as a survival-and-recovery case. 典韦 holds the close front under pressure, Cao Cao escapes by redirecting an enemy cavalryman toward a yellow horse, and the host reads the moment as 临危欺敌求生. The later fighting turns into a hundred-day attrition problem shaped by locust damage, grain exhaustion, morale, and local resistance such as 李进 at 乘氏县.
