I'm not quite sure if this'll get much in the way of response, but here goes.

Having gotten much more interested in this period of Chinese history, a somewhat large WI came to mind. What if Cao Cao, having already united the North China Plains and on the verge of crushing all opposition, been victorious at the Battle of Red Cliffs? Butterflies away the Three Kingdoms era, certainly, but what are the long term effects of such a victory (and long-term effects it might very well have)?
