Influence of burning Chibi
Battle of Red Cliffs laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. At the same time, this defeat made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the whole country. The forces of both Sun and Liu began to grow stronger by this victory. After Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, he quickly expanded his strength and finally sought profit. Sun Quan, on the other hand, led the army to attack Hefei many times, which was unfavorable in several wars. After returning to the north, Cao Cao spent five years recuperating, and only after pacifying Guanzhong did he conquer Sun Quan on a large scale. This war formed the embryonic form of the world's three points and laid the foundation for the three countries to stand up.
