How do I trigger Yuan Shao's victory at the Battle of Guandu on PS2? - Chess Piece

After many years, I've finally returned to the fantastic Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII to complete all its events and just enjoy mucking about the Middle Kingdom as a Roman centurion/Parthian POW/Chinese warlord.

I absolutely can't get Yuan Shao's victory at Guandu to fire.

The Event FAQ on GameFAQs says the following:

  1. THE BATTLE OF GUANDU (YUAN SHAO'S VICTORY)

START IN SCENARIO: 200

YOU CONTROL: Yuan Shao or any of his officers

OTHER REQUIREMENTS: Yuan Shao controls the provinces of Ji, You, and Yu; the Yuan faction is larger than the Cao faction

RESULT: The event occurs before 202. Yuan Shao celebrates his victory at the battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao's fame goes up and the loyalty of his officers goes up too.

Cao Cao's equivalent event fired just fine after conquest and after playing both sides and just moving Yuan Shao out of the way. Yuan Shao's event simply won't fire, despite holding those three provinces in four separate games now.

There have to be other triggers or something I'm not doing right. As I'm playing the PS2 version and this is a guide for the PC version - is there something I'm missing here? Does anyone have any idea what the trick is on PS2?

How Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao?

Yuan Shao split off his troops from Liyang to counter Cao Cao's attack, leaving Yan Liang without any support at Boma. Cao Cao then struck eastward to lift the siege on Boma. In the ensuing battle, Yan Liang was killed by Guan Yu and Yuan Shao's army was routed.

Why Yuan Shao lost?

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is indecisive. He would hesitate and stagnate in the event of a major incident, thus he often lost opportunities. Yuan Shao's lack of decisiveness in the Battle of Guandu and the adopting issue ultimately put him in a disadvantageous position. That's why he was defeated by Cao Cao and himself.
