He was killed at the Battle of Wancheng in 197. ==Life== Cao Ang was the first son of Cao Cao and his concubine Lady Liu (劉夫人). Lady Liu also bore Cao Cao another son, Cao Shuo, and a daughter, Princess Qinghe (清河公主).〔(武皇帝二十五男： ... 劉夫人生豐愍王昂、相殤王鑠， ...) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 20.〕 However, as Lady Liu died early, Cao Ang was raised by Cao Cao's first official spouse, Lady Ding (丁夫人), who treated Cao Ang as though he was her real son.〔(魏略曰：太祖始有丁夫人，又劉夫人生子脩及清河長公主。劉早終，丁養子脩。子脩亡於穰，丁常言：「將我兒殺之，都不復念！」遂哭泣無節。) ''Weilue'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 5.〕 Nothing was recorded in history about Cao Ang's early life, except that he was nominated as a ''xiaolian'' (civil service candidate) when he reached the age of adulthood (around 19 years old).〔(豐愍王昂字子脩。弱冠舉孝廉。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 20.〕 In the first lunar month of 197, Cao Ang followed his father on a campaign against the warlord Zhang Xiu in Wan (宛; or Wancheng, in present-day Wancheng District, Nanyang, Henan). Zhang Xiu surrendered initially, but rebelled later, launched a surprise attack on Cao Cao and caught him completely off guard. Cao Cao was injured in the right arm by a stray arrow during the battle while his horse, Jueying (絕影), was hit in the neck and leg.〔(魏書曰：公所乘馬名絕影，為流矢所中，傷頰及足，并中公右臂。) ''Wei Shu'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 5.〕 Cao Ang could not ride on horseback so he offered his own steed to his father, who managed to escape from Wancheng. Cao Ang died in the battle.〔(世語曰：昂不能騎，進馬於公，公故免，而昂遇害。) ''Shiyu'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 5.〕〔(二年春正月，公到宛。張繡降，旣而悔之，復反。公與戰，軍敗，為流矢所中，長子昂、弟子安民遇害。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 1.〕〔(隨太祖南征，為張繡所害。無子。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 20.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cao Ang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
