Cao Cao Saturday

Cao Cao was a regional warlord and the last Chancellor of Eastern Han Dynasty who rose to great power during the last years of the dynasty in ancient China. As one of the central figures of the Three Kingdoms period, he laid down foundations for what was to become of the Kingdom of Wei and was thus titled Emperor Wu of Wei. Although generally characterized as a cruel and suspicious character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was a brillant ruler, military strategist and poet.
