This battle is basically what happens in DW7’s Guandu, where Liu Bei becomes enemy to both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. However, rather than escaping, he instead goes for defeating both of them. And since there’s no “third force” mechanic in DW7, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are buddy-buddy in their endeavor to kill Liu Bei.
You have very few allies here. Normally Zhao Yun would show up as reinforcements and you’d escort him to Wuchao to burn it, but since I played as Zhao Yun, it was Sun Qian instead. That’s not a typo, there’s a Shu generic with that name. Until then, you just have to rescue your few allies and then make a push for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to take them out and claim the win.
