As we all know, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Cao Wei Group was full of talents and fierce generals. Although it was not as strong as liu bei's top martial generals, there was no shortage of famous generals in the world, and Cao Ren was such a person.
Cao Chun (170–210), courtesy name Zihe, was a native of Peiguo County, cao ren's younger brother and cao Cao's maternal brother. When he was fourteen years old, his father died and he and his brother Cao Ren separated from the family. Later, Cao Chun inherited the family business and was able to run the family with Gang Ji, and the townspeople thought he was very talented. In the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Cao Cao raised an army, and Cao Chun, who was not weak in the crown, recruited many soldiers and horses for Cao Cao and entered the dynasty as a yellow gate attendant. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the Capital Division, and Cao Cao fled to Chen Liu at the age of twenty, and Cao Chun also followed him, and from then on began his career as a horseman following Cao Cao in battle.
At that time, Cao Cao occupied the north, and for Cao Cao, the most difficult person in the north was not Yuan Shao, but a brave ethnic minority, for which he formed a cavalry team, which was the famous tiger and leopard horse in history. "Tiger and leopard riding" is called because it is as brave as a tiger and leopard in battle. This army was very important to Cao Cao and was bound to be managed by his own people, cao chun was the best candidate at that time, and it was obvious that Cao Cao was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
In the tenth year of Jian'an (205), Cao Cao led an army to attack the city of Nanpi, which Yuan Tan was defending, and after the First World War, Cao's army suffered many casualties and suffered heavy losses. Just when Cao Cao wanted to retreat, Cao Chun dissuaded and personally led the "Tiger and Leopard Rider" to launch a fierce attack, and indeed hit Yuan Tan by surprise. In the end, Yuan Tan was defeated and later beheaded by Cao Chun's men. Cao Chun made his first contribution in the process of conquest of Yuan Tan, and Qingzhou was incorporated into Cao Cao's sphere of influence.
In 207 AD, Cao Cao heeded the advice of the strategist Guo Jia and marched north to Wuhuan. The cavalry infantry facing the northern nomads was obviously powerless to resist, so Cao Cao brought with him a large number of cavalry generals who could fight well, and at the same time brought the tiger and leopard horses to the front line. In this battle, Cao Cao chose to be lightly armed and obedient, leading only a small number of cavalry to march quickly, and a large number of infantry marched slowly in the rear. When Cao Cao's cavalry arrived at Liucheng to encounter the main force of Wu Huan, they were exhausted, and both morale and combat effectiveness were at a freezing point. At that time, Cao Cao decisively ordered the battle, at this time it was Cao Chun who stood up, and he led the "Tiger and Panther Horse" to rush into Wu Huan's army, defeating it in a battle and killing the enemy chieftain Duan Yu. Let Wu Huan withdraw from the stage of history from now on.
After the war, Cao Chun was given the title of Marquis of Gaoling pavilion for his merits, with three hundred households.
The Battle of Changshanpo is a wonderful bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also a battle that is vividly reflected in the tendency of Zun Liu to suppress Cao. The most outstanding of the Battle of Changshanpo were Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, one seven in and seven out of Cao's camp, and the other three shouts to scare off The Cao army. But the person who really shines in the right history is Cao Chun.
In 208 AD, Cao Cao's army marched south, Liu Biao of Jingzhou fell ill and died, and Liu Chun submitted a surrender letter and raised his hand to surrender. Emperor Liu Beicang fled south, and when Cao Cao learned of this, he sent Cao Chun to lead five thousand tigers and leopards to ride in pursuit. They caught up with Liu Bei at Changsaka at a speed of three hundred miles a day, Liu Bei's army was defeated at the Battle of Changshanpo, and finally Liu Bei only led Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and dozens of other horses to escape, leaving his wife and children in Changshanpo, and in history, Liu Bei also lost two daughters. After that, Zhao Yun turned back to the rescue, and only rescued Lady Gan and the little master Ah Dou, and even Lady Mi died in the rebellion.
After that, Cao Chun followed Cao Cao to occupy Jiangling, and after the Battle of Chibi, he followed Cao Cao back to Yu Commandery. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Cao Chun died at the age of 41. Cao Cao said sadly, "There will be no more generals like Cao Chun!" Can't I command the tiger and leopard ride myself?" So Cao Cao did not appoint anyone else to succeed him, and really directly led the tiger and leopard riding himself. Later, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen gradually matured, so Cao Cao was again entrusted to the two to lead.
After Emperor Wen of Wei ascended the throne, Cao Pi thanked Cao Chun for his merits and posthumously honored him as the Marquis of Wei.
