Abstract

Late Eastern Han Dynasty (184–220) was a famous period in Chinese war history. In this period, many warlords of the Han Dynasty started to build their private army with elite soldiers, letting it become a fashion. Cao Cao (155–220) was one of the warlords who was enthusiastic about this matter, building many private armies. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was the most famous and excellent one, helping Cao get many victories during the process of unifying Northern China. Because of that, Tiger and Leopard army finally obtained a position in the history of Chinese cavalry’s development.
