Cao Ang
Cao Ang ( Chinese 曹 昂 , Pinyin Cáo Áng , W.-G. Ts'ao Áng ; Zì 子 脩 , Zixiū , Tzu-hsiū ; * 175 ; † 197 ) was the eldest son of the warlord Cao Cao at the time of the Three Kingdoms in ancient china.
He was born to Cao Cao and his wife Liu. Little is known about his early life, essentially only his appointment as Xiaolian in 194.
In 197 Cao Ang took part in his father's campaign to conquer Jingzhou Province. At that time, the lesser warlord Zhang Xiu , who ruled Wancheng, submitted to Cao Cao, who married his aunt. Zhang Xiu was not happy about this, so Cao Cao planned to assassinate him. But Zhang Xiu found out about it and got ahead of him by attacking Cao Cao in his camp.
Cao Cao was harassed in a surprise attack, and when his horse collapsed under the arrows, Cao Ang offered him his. So Cao Cao escaped, but Cao Ang and his cousin Cao Anmin fell in battle.
Because Cao Ang died childless, made Cao Pi after his accession 221 Cao Wan, his brother's son Cao Jun, Cao Ang's successor.
