【Da Sima Cao Xiu】

Cao Xiu is one of the outstanding descendants of the Cao clan, and is very valued by Cao Cao, and is known as the existence of "Qianli Ju", but this Qianli Ju refers to the superficial meaning.

Similar to Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu also served in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and later participated in the battle of Cao Liu Hanzhong, first with his father Cao Hong, Cao Cao said to Cao Xiu before the expedition: "Although you are called a member of the army, you are actually the commander of this army." After Cao Hong learned of this order, he also entrusted Cao Xiu with the responsibility of military affairs. In the end, at Cao Xiu's suggestion, Cao Hong ignored Zhang Fei's bluff, but directly crusaded against Wu Lan and defeated him. After Cao Cao's defeat in the crusade against Hanzhong, he returned to Chang'an and granted Cao Xiuzhong the post of leading the army.

In the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi was on the throne, and Cao Xiu was promoted to the leading general, posthumously recorded the merits before and after, and was named the Marquis of Dongyang Pavilion. After the general Xiahou was killed, Cao Pi appointed Cao Xiu as the general of Zhennan, supervised the military during the holidays, and replaced Xiahou Duntun in Runan County to be responsible for resisting Sun Quan. Before Cao Xiu took office, Cao Pi drove in person, and also got off Luan Yu and Cao Xiu to say goodbye. At that time, Sun Quan sent generals to garrison Liyang, and after Cao Xiu arrived, he immediately led the army to break it, and sent another army to cross the river to attack, burning thousands of Wu army's military camps in Wuhu. So he moved to the general of the expedition to the east, and also led the history of Yangzhou Thorn, and entered the Anyang township.

According to the "Book of Wei", after the death of Cao Xiu's mother, Cao Xiu was originally a person of filial piety, so he was grief-stricken and did not eat and drink during the period of filial piety. When Cao Pi found out, he ordered the waiter to forcibly take off his mourning clothes and ordered him to eat and drink, wine and meat. After Cao Xiu received the edict, he had to eat and drink, but his body became more and more haggard. After asking Cao Pi for leave and asking to return to his hometown of Qian County to bury his mother, Cao Pi sent Xue Qiao, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, to persuade him not to be overly sad, so he asked Cao Xiu to return home for funeral. Cao Xiu completed the funeral in just one night, and then immediately returned to his post.

In the third year of the early Huang dynasty (222), Cao Pi went south to crusade against Sun Quan, appointed Cao Xiu as the general of the expedition to the east, fake Huang Yue, supervised the former general Zhang Liao, the general of Zhendong Zang Ba, the assassin of Yuzhou Jia Kui, etc., and more than 20 troops of Zhuzhou County attacked Dongpu from the western front, and Sun Quan Jianwei's general Lu Fan commanded the Fifth Route Army to resist Cao Xiu with the advantage of the naval army.

However, the heavens were on Cao Xiu's side, the storm blew all the cables of Lu Fan's fleet, and the Wu ships that were blown away drifted to the camp of Cao Xiu and others. Later, because of He Qi's timely arrival, Cao Xiu was unable to further expand the results. Later, Cao Xiu sent soldiers to harass the Wu army, and also achieved some results, but the other two routes of the Wu army suffered setbacks and were forced to retreat, and Cao Xiu also retreated. Cao Xiu was therefore worshipped as the pastor of Yangzhou and stationed on the southeast border to prevent the invasion of Eastern Wu.

In the seventh year of the early Huang Dynasty (226), Cao Pi died, Cao Xiu and Chen Qun, the general of the Zhen Army, Cao Zhen, the general of the Chinese Army, and Sima Yi, the general of the Fu Army, were bequeathed and assisted by the government. At that time, Wu General Shende was stationed in Anhui City, and Cao Xiu broke it, killed Shende, and surrendered Wu generals Han Zong, Zhai Dan and others. Then he increased the number of towns by 400, and the first 2,500 households, moved to Da Sima, and became the supreme commander of Cao Wei's army, and the governor of Yangzhou was the same.

In the second year of Taihe (228), Cao Xiu fell in the Eastern Wu's Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi's plan to lure the enemy, and was defeated to Lu Xun in Shiting. Cao Xiu was ashamed of being ruthless, so he had a carbuncle and a back, and soon he was called Zhuanghou. Son Cao Zhao succeeded to the heir.

In history, Cao Xiu, as a representative of the Cao family's descendants, still has considerable military ability, although it is said that it was luck to defeat Lu Fan back then, but after all, luck is also a kind of strength, but the defeat of Shiting, Cao Xiu is to blame.

【Hussar General Cao Hong】

Cao Hong is one of Cao Cao's generals, Cao Cao's younger brother, following Cao Cao for a long time, and Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and so on are a generation, but Cao Hong's status is actually the lowest among these people, although the hussar general officer position is higher than the general of the expedition, but the general of the expedition to the west during the Cao Cao period and Cao Pi, Cao Rui period of the hussar general gold content can be completely different.

Cao Hong once had a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, when Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong in the Battle of Bianshui, it was Cao Hong who let the horse make Cao Cao escape, and then Cao Cao went to Yangzhou to recruit troops, because Cao Hong and Yangzhou Assassin Chen Wen have an old relationship, so Cao Hong also helped Cao Cao a lot this time.

In the fourth year of Chuping (193), when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Zhang Miao and Chen Gongju rebelled against Lü Bu in Yanzhou. At that time, there was a famine, and Cao Hong opened the way in front and occupied Dongping and F counties to collect food to help the follow-up troops. Cao Cao conquered Zhang Miao and Lü Bu in Puyang, Lü Bu was defeated and retreated, and Cao Cao occupied Dong'e, and then conquered more than ten county towns such as Jiyin, Shanyang, Zhongmu, Yangwu, Jing, and Mi. Cao Hong made great contributions in these battles, and was appointed as the captain of Yingyang, and moved to the rank of general of Yangwu.

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Hong was ordered to lead the army west to welcome the Han Emperor, but was blocked by the Wei general Dong Cheng and the Yuan Shu general Chang Nu, and when the capital was moved to Xuchang, Cao Hong was awarded the advice doctor. He also served as another department to conquer Liu Biao, and defeated Liu Biao's generals Yu Wuyang, Yin Ye, Blocking Yang, and Bowang. Cao Hong was moved to General Li Feng because of his meritorious service, and he was named the Marquis of Ming Pavilion of the country. However, it is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu" that Cao Hong's battle was unfavorable this time. Because Cao Hong repeatedly followed Cao Cao's expeditions, he worshiped the general.

Later, Cao Hong and Xu Huang broke the arms of the thieves, and in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Hong accepted Xun You's suggestion, took in Zhang He and others, and helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao. During the battle of Cao Liu Hanzhong, Cao Hong led his troops to attack Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, defeated Wu Lan, and beheaded his general Ren Kui and others.

In the first year of Yankang (220), when Cao Pi ascended the throne, Cao Hong was named the general of Wei, moved to the general of the hussars, entered the prince of Fengye, entered the thousand households of the city, and the first 2,100 households, and the position was particularly advanced; Later, he migrated to the Marquis of Duyang.

Because Emperor Wen Cao Pi had earlier been refused to borrow money from Cao Hong, Cao Pi held a grudge and took advantage of Cao Hong's disciples to break the law, and sent Cao Hong to prison and wanted to be executed. The ministers went to intercede, but it didn't work. In the end, it was the Empress Dowager Lady Bian who personally stepped out and threatened the queen, forcing Cao Pi to finally keep Cao Hong's life, but Cao Hong's official position, title, and fiefdom were all stripped away.

After Cao Pi died, the crown prince Cao Rong ascended the throne, worshiped Cao Hong as the general, changed the title of Marquis of Lecheng, ate thousands of households, and gave the position of special advancement. In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Cao Hong returned to worship the hussar general. In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Hong died, and he was posthumously called Gonghou. His son, Cao Fu, is the heir. In the first four years (243), he was enshrined in Cao Cao's ancestral temple.

Because Cao Hong offended Cao Pi earlier, he had withdrawn from the stage of Cao Wei during the Cao Pi and Cao Rui periods.

However, Cao Hong is quite rich in history, and Cao Cao once said: "My family is as cheap as a son!" ”

ps: Cao Xiu is sandwiched between the two Cao Ren and Cao Zhen, relatively speaking, there are no characteristics, so I won't talk about it, and there is another chapter in the evening.
