The Battle of Fengqiu (Chinese: 封ふう丘おか之の戰たたかえ) was fought between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the spring of 193^[1] in the late Eastern Han dynasty. Cao Cao emerged victorious against Yuan Shu's forces.

The battle[edit]

Cao Cao's army was stationed in Juancheng (鄄城). Liu Biao, the Governor (牧まき) of Jing Province, cut off Yuan Shu's supply route. As a result, Yuan Shu led his army into Chenliu (陳ひね留とめ), garrisoning at Fengqiu (封ふう丘おか), where the remnants of the Heishan Bandits and the Xiongnu chieftain Yufuluo provided him support. Yuan Shu sent his general Liu Xiang (劉りゅう詳しょう) to garrison at Kuangting (匡ただし亭てい).^[2]

When Cao Cao attacked Liu Xiang, Yuan Shu reinforced Kuangting, where the latter was badly defeated. Yuan Shu retreated to defend Fengqiu. Cao Cao subsequently moved to surround the town before Yuan Shu could complete the movement, Yuan Shu fled to Xiangyi (襄じょう邑). Cao Cao pursued to Taishou (太ふとし壽ことぶき) and diverted the waters of the Qu River (渠みぞ水すい) from Xiangyi, cutting off the canal supplying water to the city. After, Yuan Shu fled to Ningling (寧やすし陵りょう) and Cao Cao pursued Yuan Shu's retreat towards Jiujiang (九きゅう江え). In summer, Cao Cao finally withdrew with his army to Dingtao (定てい陶すえ).^[3]
