Cao Zhi

Cao Zhi is the daughter of Cao Cao and sister to Cao Xue and Cao Annin. She was a part of Cao Cao's Forces since Dingtao and Puyang. However she was always jealous of Cao Xue and the attention that she received when they were younger.

After Cao Cao died at Xiapi by Ji Yang, their forces were split between herself, Annin, and Xue. From this point forward, Cao Zhi sought to gain much power in the Cao Family as quickly as possible. She asked that she be aided by Dong Zhao, a strategist formerly under her father and he did so. When Yuan Xi invaded Puyang, she took to the field at the front lines while Cao Xue had yet to recover from her father's death. Defeating Tian Feng and Linghu Shao, Cao Zhi's brave actions gained her much recognition by the people at Puyang. However this was overtaken as at Guandu, Cao Xue succeeded in not only defeating Yuan Xi's Forces, but also convincing Fu Xakou, one of his main strategists to defect along with others.

Cao Zhi began to try and use whatever she could to decrease the people's support for, such as placing the blame for nearly losing Xuchang on Cao Xue, since Xun Xian was its guard. Later after the humiliating defeat at Chibi by the hands of Sun Jing and Liu Wuchan she succeeded in making the people blame Cao Xue for this defeat. And with support increasing, she rebelled against her siblings and captured Luoyang, killing Xun Xian in the process.

Recruiting officers such as Dong Zhao, Wang Jing, Yu Fei, and Sima Su, she combated Cao Xue when she fled to Puyang. After about two months of warring back and forth, Cao Zhi fell. When Cao Xue gave her the chance to surrender peacefully she attacked her from behind and would have killed her if Fu Xakou hadn't stepped in, and lost an eye protecting Xue. After this, Cao Xue personally saw to her sister execution, with tears in her eyes.
