Biography
In the of 200 A.D., during the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's general, Yan Liang, was killed during the Battle of Biama. Thus, Yuan Shao advanced his full army toward south of the Yellow River and launched an attack on Cao Cao. Wen Chou and Liu Bei were forth with a vanguard force with more than 5,000 riders to pursue Cao Cao's retreating army. Making a stand atop a knoll, Cao Cao retained less than 600 cavalry and let loose the remaining horses.

As Wen Chou's troops arrived, many broke ranks to loot the horses and other supplies. Cao Cao then gave order for a counterattack. The small but elite cavalry force scored a brilliant victory over the disorganized Wen Chou and killed him in battle.
