After Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's armies arrived in Yanzhou, both quickly dispatched their civil officials and military generals, gathering them together.

Soon, sprawling military camps stretched across dozens of miles, stationed on opposite banks of the Yellow River. During the night, the lights from the opposing side flickered endlessly.
