Cao Hong? He was born in Qiaoxian County of Pei state (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was a famous general of the Wei Dynasty.
In his early years, Cao Hong fought against Dong Zhuo with Cao Cao. Xingyang was defeated and sacrificed his life to offer his horse to save him from danger. With the army, they conquered all the places, leveled Yanzhou, collected Liubiao and asked for arms.

Life of the characters
The Savior of the horse
Cao Hong is Cao Cao's younger brother. In February of the first year of Chuping (190), Cao Cao launched a campaign against Dong Zhuo. When he arrived in Xingyang, he was defeated by Xu Rong, the commander of Dong Zhuo. In the meantime, Cao Cao lost his mount, but Dong Jun was in a hurry to pursue him. Seeing this, Cao Hong jumped off his horse and gave up his mount to Cao Cao. Cao Cao refused. Cao Hong said, "I can't live without Cao Hong, but I can't live without you!" So he walked with Cao Cao to the Bian river. The water was too deep to cross the river. Cao Hong searched along the river and finally found a ferry. So Cao Cao was able to cross the river and return to Qiaojun.
Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen and Cao Hong are good friends. Cao Hong once led more than 1000 soldiers to recruit soldiers with Chen Wen. He recruited 2000 first-class soldiers from Lujiang River, and thousands more from Danyang in the East. With this team, he joined Cao Cao in Longkang.
To fight everywhere
In 193, when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, Zhang Miao and Chen Gongju rebelled against Lu Bu in Yanzhou. At that time, when there was a famine, Cao Hong took over Dongping and fan counties to collect food for the follow-up troops. Cao Cao conquered Zhang Miao and Lu Bu in Puyang. Lu Bu was defeated, so Cao Cao occupied Dong'e and conquered more than ten counties, such as Jiyin, Shanyang, Zhongmou, Yangwu, Jing and MI. Cao Hong made great contributions in these battles, and was appointed commander of Yingyang and general of Yangwu.
In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Hong was ordered to lead the army to the west to meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. When he moved the capital to Xuchang, Cao Hong was granted an admonitory doctor. As other generals, he defeated Liu Biao in Wuyang, Wuyin, Yexian, duyang and Bowang. Cao Hong made great contributions to the war and moved to be general Li Feng and Marquis of MINGTING. Cao Hong followed Cao Cao's expedition many times and paid homage to the general.
In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Cao Hong and Xu Huang broke the arms of the strong rebels.
Guandu Garrison
Cao Hong's contribution in the battle of Guandu is not in the biography of Cao Hong in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, but in the chronicle of Emperor Wu and detailed in the biography of Xun you.
In October of the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Cao Cao LED light troops to attack WuChao with the suggestion of Xu you, leaving Cao Hong and Xun you to guard the barracks. After Yuan Shao learned the news, he sent Zhang Ying and Gao Lan to attack Cao Cao's barracks. With the insistence of Cao Hong and Xun you, Zhang Ying and Gao Lan could not break through. After Cao Cao burned the nest, Zhang Ying and Gao Lan burned the equipment to attack the camp and went to Cao camp to surrender. Cao Hongsheng was afraid of falling into the trap and did not dare to accept their surrender. Xunyou said: "Zhang Ying, because he didn't use his strategy for Yuan Shao, fell into a rage and went to the bank. What can you doubt?" So they accepted their surrender.
The battle of discrimination
Cao Hong's contribution to the battle of Xia Bian is not in the biography of Cao Hong in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, but in the biography of Cao Xiu.
In the 22nd year of Jian'an (217), Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan and other garrison troops to fight, but Cao Hong refused.
In the 23rd year of Jian'an (218), Liu Bei sent General Wu lantun to argue, and Cao Cao sent Cao Hongzheng to fight. Cao Xiu was the commander of the cavalry and served as Cao Hong's military adviser. Cao Cao said to Cao Xiu before going out: "although you are called to join the army, you are actually the commander of this army." When Cao Hong learned of the order, he entrusted Cao Xiu with military affairs. At that time, Liu Bei saw that Cao's army was advancing to Xiabian, so he sent Zhang Fei to garrison in Gushan, claiming to cut off Cao's army. Cao Hong hesitated about whether to continue to March after discussing with the generals. Cao Xiu said: "if Liu Bei's army really wants to cut off our army's back road, it should move in secret and ambush secretly. But now it's bluffing first, which shows that it's only the suspicious plan of Liu Bei and others. Our army should defeat Wu Lan as soon as possible before the enemy has assembled a large army in Xiabian. Once Wu Lan is defeated, Zhang Fei's suspicions will be meaningless, and he will surely retreat by himself. " Cao Hong followed his advice and attacked Wu Lan. Cao Hong smashed Wu Lan and killed Ren Kui and others. He pushed back Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.
Later, at the celebration banquet, Cao Hong gave a big banquet and let the singer wear thin clothes and step on the drum. People on the scene laughed. Yang Fu severely reprimanded Cao Hong, saying: "men and women are different. This is a national festival. How can women be exposed in public! Even if Xia Jie and Shang Zhou were defeated, they were not as good as that. " So he left angrily. Cao Hong immediately ordered the Banshee to stop performing and asked Yang Fu to return her seat.
Go to jail for stinginess
In the first year of Yankang (220), when Cao Pi ascended the throne, Cao Hong served as general Wei. He became a general of Hushi, a prince of the wild, a thousand households in the city, and the first 2100 households. He moved back and became the capital of Yanghou.
In 226, Cao Hong's family was rich, but he was stingy. When Cao Pi was young, he borrowed money from him but didn't get it. Therefore, he held a grudge and sent Cao Hong to prison for breaking the law by Cao Hong's disciples. The courtiers went to intercede, but it didn't work.
When Cao Pi accepted Cao Hong for his crime, Cao Zhen was at his side and said, "now if your majesty kills Cao Hong, Cao hong must think that I have framed him behind his back." Cao Pi said, "I have to deal with him myself. What can you hesitate about?"
Cao Pi Lian said: "today, Bian Pei is not responsible for it." He said to Queen Guo, "if Cao Hong dies today, I will let the emperor abolish you tomorrow." Queen Guo cried bitterly and repeatedly asked Cao Pi to forgive Cao Hong. Cao Pi then dismissed Cao Hong as a commoner and deprived him of official position, title, and fief. Empress Bian asked for Cao Hong's advice again, so Cao Pi returned Cao Hong's family property. At the beginning, Cao Cao was Sikong, who initiated an investigation every year and made the county magistrate evaluate the official's family property. At that time, Qiao Lingping, Cao Hong's wealth was equal to that of the Duke's family. Cao Cao sighed, "my family's wealth is as cheap as Zilian!"
When Cao Hong broke the law, he thought he would die, and he was very happy to recover. So he wrote a letter to make amends and said, "I'm not from the way, I live in human relations, and I'm not allowed to steal for a long time, so I'm loaned. There is no justice and contentment, but the quality of jackal is insatiable. The old man is greedy, and he is in conflict with the national network. He is forced to commit three thousand crimes. If he is not forgiven, he should be punished. If he abandons the city court, he will still be blessed by heaven and be reborn. The minister looked up at the sky and was ashamed of his spirit. He was ashamed of his guilt and fear. He could not judge himself by himself. He painted the gate of Yan Que and worshipped Zhang Chen
Cao Hong was a hero of the Taizu (Cao Cao), but people complained a lot about Cao Pi's treatment of him.
In the first month, Cao HongMian was a common man. In May, Cao Pi died, and the crown prince Cao Rui ascended the throne. He worshipped Cao Hong as the later general and was renamed the Marquis of Lecheng. He ate thousands of households in the city and was granted a special place.
Life in old age
In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Cao Hongfu paid homage to general Hushi.
In the sixth year of Taihe (232), Cao Hong passed away and was posthumously named gonghou. His son, Cao Fu, was the heir.
In the fourth year of Zhengshi (243), he was worshipped in the ancestral temple of Cao Cao.
