After the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Liu Bei tried to cross the Han River to pursue Cao's army, but was blocked by Guo Huai's strategy and failed to cross the river.
Shortly after Xiahou Yuan's death, Liu Bei wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursued him, planning to cross the Han River to attack Cao's army. At that time, the generals in Cao's camp believed that their own forces were not enough to resist Liu Bei, and planned to defend according to the water array. However, Guo Huai proposed a different strategy. He believed that arranging a formation close to the water's edge would show that Cao's army was weak and not enough to thwart the enemy's offensive. Therefore, he suggested setting up a formation away from the Han River, luring Liu Bei's army to cross the river, and then attacking when the enemy was halfway crossing, so that it was possible to defeat Liu Bei.
Guo Huai's strategy was implemented, and Cao's army followed his advice to line up on the north shore away from the Han River. Seeing this, Liu Bei became suspicious of Cao Jun's intentions, and finally did not choose to cross the river to attack. Guo Huai then held his position, showing no intention of retreating, thus successfully stopping Liu Bei's attack.
Overall, this tactic not only demonstrated Guo Huai's military talent, but also showed his calmness and wisdom in times of crisis. Through this operation, Guo Huai not only stabilized the morale of the army, but also effectively contained Liu Bei's offensive, and won valuable time and strategic opportunities for Cao's army.
