Where is Bowangpo?

Bowangpo is located in Wang Bo Town, Fangcheng County, Nanyang City.

The Battle of Bowangpo took place in the seventh year of Jian 'an of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (AD 202). Bowangpo is located in Wang Bo Town, Fangcheng County, Nanyang City. Therefore, the battle of Bowangpo naturally has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang. In my opinion, this battle is the peak of Liu Bei's campaign, that is, as a general who often loses, Liu Bei finally won a victory.

First of all, as far as the historical background of the Battle of Bowangpo is concerned, during the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei, who first parted ways with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, took this opportunity to reunite and recruited military forces in Runan in an attempt to launch a surprise attack behind Cao Cao. However, in 20 1 year, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei again, and the latter had to go south to shepherd Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, Nanyang, as a barrier between himself and Cao Cao.

As we all know, Cao Cao made Xuchang his capital after seizing the emperor and establishing a vassal. For Liu Bei, who has captured Ye County, it is a natural threat to Xudu. Therefore, Cao Cao attached great importance to it and sent Xiahou _, Yu Jin, Li Dian and other generals to fight back against Liu Bei. Liu Bei retreated from the front and chose Bowangpo to fight against Cao Jun.

For the course of the Battle of Bowangpo, The History of the Three Kingdoms, the History of Shu and the Ancestor gives a record: "Refusing Xiahou _, prohibition equals Wang Bo. For a long time, the first Lord set an ambush, set himself on fire once, chased it, and was broken by the ambush. "
