The story of Cao Cao's escape by the war horse "White Bird".
In 190 AD, the Kwantung coalition army raised troops against Dong, and although the princes were powerful, they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Corps, and Cao Cao led his army to the west alone, but met Xu Rong, a general under Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong in the first battle, and he was injured by a stray arrow, and his war horse was also injured. Xu Rong's troops were in desperate pursuit, and at the most dangerous time, Cao Hong rushed forward, turned over and dismounted and offered his war horse to Cao Cao, letting Cao Cao go first, so Cao Cao said to Cao Hong: "Then what should you do?" Cao Hong said: "The world can do without me Cao Hong, but not without you Cao Cao!" ”
According to Jin Wang Jia's "Gleaning Notes on Wei": "Emperor Wu begged Dong Zhuo, lost his horse at night, and Hong rode with the horse God." Its horse is called the white hoof. When this horse walked, he felt the sound of a wind in his ears, as if he did not trample the ground. This means that the war horse that Cao Hong gave to Cao Cao was called Baihu, and it is said that when the horse ran, the rider could only hear the wind in his ears, and its feet did not seem to step on the ground, especially indicating that the horse was fast.
Proverb: "Leap out of thin air, the white hoof of the Cao family." "People at the time said that this horse rode the wind, a generation of divine horses.
