Meanwhile, Cao Cao was at war with Sun Quan at The Battle Of He Fei and Ru Xu Kou, Cao Cao scored both victories at these battles. The situation among the three major powers almost reached a stalemate after this, until Cao Cao died. The following year Cao Cao's son Cao Pi forced The Emperor Of Han to abdicate his throne thus bringing an end to the Han Dynasty which has a long history of at least 400 years.
