Chángshè

Changshe was a county town on the central plain of Henan, in the country that the Han called Yingchuan, near the later Changge. In the summer of 184 the Yellow Turban leader Bo Cai besieged the Han general Huangfu Song within its walls, and Huangfu Song, seeing that the rebels had camped among dry grass, sent men out at night to set the camps alight. The routed rebels ran into Cao Cao's cavalry on the road. In later centuries the county's name moved back and forth between Changshe and Changge, and under the Yuan and Ming the district belonged to Xuzhou.
