At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the masses stood side by side, and Cao Cao became the strongest prince precisely by defeating Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and his strength showed an expansion, so what were the other princes doing during the Great War between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao Guandu, and why did no one participate in the war?
At this time, the more powerful princes were Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Ma Teng of Xiliang, and Liu Bei of Xuzhou.

Many people's evaluation of Liu Biao is "no ambition, just want to defend their own acres and three points of land", for the world, Liu Biao on the surface does not have the desire to dominate the world, but as a party of princes, especially the Liu family, Liu Biao really does not have the idea of Xu Tu tianxia? The answer is actually quite intriguing.
But taking ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Biao has the idea of Xu Tutianxia, its implementation is also very difficult, although Liu Biao is very capable, and he originally entered Jingzhou with one person and one horse, but it is also by virtue of the strength of the local clan in Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou clan only cares about their local strength in Jingzhou, which greatly restricts Liu Biao's ambition.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" >2, Jiangdong Sun Ce</h1>
Sun Ce was a man of great talent and strategy, and after he pacified Jiangdong, he also thought of expanding outwards, and wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's great battle with Yuan Shaoguandu to sneak up on Xuchang, but the sky did not go according to people's wishes, Sun Ce was assassinated, and his brother Sun Quan took over the power of Jiangdong, on the one hand, Sun Quan did not have as great ambitions as Sun Ce, on the other hand, Sun Quan was busy stabilizing his own power, and did not have the leisure to interfere in the great war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" >3, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong</h1>
Because of Liu Zhang's suspicions and a series of reasons, Zhang Lu rebelled, on the one hand, both sides were busy guarding against each other, and conflicts broke out uninterruptedly, on the other hand, Zhang Lu was more inclined to rely on Cao Cao, and Hanzhong controlled the gateway to the north of Yizhou, so the two sides did not interfere in the Battle of Guandu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >4, Xiliang Mateng</h1>
At this time, Ma Teng was obviously attached to Cao Cao, and it can be said that he was Cao Cao's person, and when Cao Cao fought with Yuan Shao Guandu, Ma Teng even sent someone to help, although Ma Teng, although he was a prince of one side, he could not be called a male lord, nor did he have the idea of interfering in the Battle of Guandu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" >5, Xuzhou Liu Bei</h1>
Unlike the other last, Liu Bei was far-sighted, he also tried to sneak into Cao Cao's base camp on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, but the strength was too weak, and Cao Cao could not rest assured of Liu Bei, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao actually personally led the army to pacify Xuzhou, Liu Bei also fled in a hurry, during the Battle of Guandu Liu Bei was attached to Liu Biao's account, Liu Bei also persuaded Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao's base camp, but Liu Biao did not listen to Liu Bei.
