射犬 / Shequan (Late Han)

Overview

射犬 / Shequan enters the wiki through Hanji 1032 as a late-Han Yellow River north-bank site tied to 曹操’s operation against 眭固. The episode places Shequan in the transition from local northern fighting to the direct Cao-Yuan border before 官渡.

Current Profile

Shequan functions as a tactical waypoint with strategic consequences. Sui Gu attempts to connect with 袁绍 but is killed at Quan City, Shequan then surrenders, and Cao Cao’s capture of 魏种 there becomes a visible talent-clemency episode before Cao camps at 敖仓.

Key Characteristics

• Yellow River north-bank campaign setting in Jian’an 4 / 199 CE.
• Linked to Cao Cao’s move against Sui Gu after the Henei and northern-frontier disturbances.
• Surrender point after Sui Gu is killed while trying to reach Yuan Shao.
• Capture site for Wei Zhong and therefore part of Cao’s talent-use story.
• Bridge between local pacification and the Guandu approach.

Evidence

• Campaign setting: Hanji 1032 has Cao Cao cross the Yellow River and send Shi Huan and 曹仁 against Sui Gu before the Shequan surrender.
• Yuan connection attempt: Hanji 1032 says Sui Gu tries to go north to Yuan Shao but is killed at Quan City.
• Talent-clemency setting: Hanji 1032 makes Shequan the place where Wei Zhong is captured and then spared.

Qualifications

The current source note gives Shequan as a campaign location, not a full geography page. Quan City and the exact local topography remain source-scoped here unless later notes require separate canonical treatment.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 1032 to capture the Shequan operation as the immediate setting for Cao Cao’s Wei Zhong pardon and pre-Guandu positioning.

Relationships

• 曹操 - commander whose Yellow River operation surrounds and receives Shequan.
• 眭固 - local armed actor whose failed northern escape precedes Shequan’s surrender.
• 曹仁 - Cao-side general sent against Sui Gu in the episode.
• 魏种 - captured at Shequan and then spared.
• 敖仓 - Cao Cao’s later camp after the Shequan operation.
• 河内郡 - regional setting for the north-bank conflict.
• 官渡之战 - strategic horizon toward which the Shequan operation points.
