Zhao Yu, a famous scholar of Xu Fang, is loyal and upright, while Cao Hong, a slanderer of villains, is modest and responsible. The disharmony between criminal law and government, the good and the good are often harmed by it, and then gradually disorder. In contrast, both Cao Bao and Cao Hong have their own shortcomings, and they are also trusted by Tao Qian. Cao Bao can be said to be the first general in Xuzhou, and no one can match him in Xuzhou. Cao Hong is likely to be Cao Bao or Cao Bao's brother.

There is another thing that can prove that there has always been no shortage of famous generals in Xuzhou. Even in the period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, many generals of Wu and Wei came from Xuzhou, such as Zang Ba, sun Guan, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai and so on. But they all came from poor families.

However, Mu Tao Qian in Xuzhou was fond of being expensive and despised being poor. He looked down on the poor, so all the handsome generals were exiled. As a member of his family, Cao Bao was trusted by Tao Qian.

However, there is no mention of Cao Bao's leading ability or military bravery in history. Therefore, Cao Bao is not necessarily a real general. He is also likely to be a scholar who is quite literate and military. Therefore, it is very possible that Cao Hong is Cao Bao.

Guan Gong said, "where is my sister-in-law?" Fei said, "they are all trapped in the city." Xuande was silent. "What did you say when you wanted to defend the city? Brother, why do you pay? Today, the city is lost again, and my sister-in-law is trapped again. What should I do? " When Zhang Fei heard the speech, he was afraid and wanted to commit suicide. It's just: how can you let go of your drinking? It's too late to donate your life!
