In the nineteenth year of Jian'an (214), Sun Quan attacked Wancheng, and Zhang Liao led his army to rescue, but failed to regain the lost territory. However, in the following Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Zhang Liao won more with less and successfully repelled the 100,000 army led by Sun Quan. This set the stage for the Second Battle of the Wet Whiskers.
Second, Cao's army attacked the wet beard, and heavy rain fell from the sky to obstruct the war.
In the winter of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao was fully prepared and attacked Wu. Cao's army launched a fierce attack at the mouth of the river, however, the army led by Zhang Liao and Zang Ba encountered continuous heavy rain during the march, resulting in the inability to engage Eastern Wu. Zhang Liao decisively suggested withdrawing the troops, which was agreed by Cao Cao. This was not the right time to attack Soochow.
3. Lü Meng and Jiang Qin held on to the mouth of the water, and Cao Cao accepted Sun Quan's request to surrender.
Cao Cao temporarily retreated, but did not stop the attack. In the first month of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao's army regrouped, and officially launched an attack after the weather improved. Lü Meng, Jiang Qin and other Eastern Wu generals fought hard, and Sun Guan fought bravely, however, Cao Cao's army was still unstoppable. In the fierce battle, Sun Guan fought bravely and was finally martyred by his wounds.
Fourth, Eastern Wu united to resist, and Cao Cao finally accepted Sun Quan's request to surrender.
Although the Eastern Wu soldiers fought bravely, the Eastern Wu army gradually became powerless under the overall strength of Cao Wei. Sun Quan built a city at the mouth of the water, but it was difficult to stop the attack of Cao's army. Sun Quan eventually retreated in February, and in March sent Xu Shen to Cao Gong's camp to ask for surrender. Cao Cao accepted Sun Quan's request to surrender and decided to withdraw his troops and leave Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao and other generals to settle in the nest.
Fifth, Cao Cao failed to achieve the goal of capturing Misu, and Sun Quan skillfully kept Lizi.
Although Cao Cao achieved the result of Sun Quan's initiative to surrender, due to the stubborn resistance of the Eastern Wu soldiers and the instability of Cao Wei's rear, Cao Cao finally chose to accept Sun Quan's request to surrender, and actually failed to achieve the goal of capturing Misu. Sun Quan was willing to surrender in order to keep his beard, and skillfully kept the core territory of Soochow.
Sixth, Sun Quan was comforted by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appointed important ministers in the rear.
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he learned that Cao Cao had approved the surrender. After the Second Battle of Wet Beard, he rewarded the generals such as Lü Meng, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin who had made great achievements. Cao Cao also appointed Wen Hui as the assassin of Yangzhou after the war, and Jiang Ji as the commander of Yangzhou. The campaign had far-reaching consequences for both countries.
