In the first year of Chuping, Zhao Fengchuan led Han Xin and Liu Bowen as Cao Cao's chief military advisor - he refused to push Guan Yu to fight and offered his own strategy to defeat Hua Xiong, gaining full intelligence and hidden special effects. He admonished Cao Cao to ask Aunt Zhang Xiu to be careful and guard against Dian Wei. Cao Ang died. Chibi sent Jiang Qian to pretend to surrender to Zhou Yu to prepare for a fire attack to make Cao's entire army retreat. He was granted the title of Marquis Wuping by the Han Dynasty.
