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. In order to resist Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, Cao Cao sent generals Xia Houdun, Yu Jin and Li Dian to fight Liu Bei. Liu Bei defeated Xia Houdun and Yu Jin until Li Dian came to save him. Liu Bei was so excellent that he stopped and chose to withdraw.

Later, Cao Cao moved his combat targets to Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in the north, and he was too busy to take care of Liu Bei in Jingzhou, so he could get a chance to recuperate, and Liu Biao didn't want to explore Cao Cao in the north, so the southern part of the Central Plains was peaceful for several years.
