Hefei, a small town at that time, was of strategic importance since practically it was the center of this region. For the town it was the bloody battles that occurred between Caocao's Wei forces and the troops of the Wu Kingdom's Sun Quan that remain as popular stories. There remain a few relics around town that remember these times, most notably the battleground of Leisure Ford, that is now a park, and the site of the troops drillground, that is now the Mingjiao Temple.
