Yuan Shao falls ill and dies in …

Years: 202 - 202

Yuan Shao falls ill and dies in June 202, leaving two sons.

As he had designated the youngest son, Yuan Shang, as his successor, rather than the eldest, Yuan Tan, as tradition dictates, the two brothers fight each other, as they fight Cao.

Cao uses the internal conflict within the Yuan clan to his advantage and defeats the Yuans easily to assume effective rule over all of northern China.

He sends armies further out and expands his control across the Great Wall into present-day Korea, and southward to the Han River.
