Ask and you shall recieve.
Cao Ren son of Cao Chi, grandson of Cao Bao (recorded as a younger brother of Cao Teng) is Cao Cao's cousin.
Like Cao Hong, Cao Ren joined Cao Cao very early and actively took part in almost every one of Cao Cao's campaign. Cao Ren distingished himself very early and displayed great talent as a commander.
During the battle of Guan Du, Yuan Shao sent Liu Bei to create chaos behind Cao Cao's lines and it greatly vexed Cao Cao. Cao Cao was only put to ease after Cao Ren's analysis of the situation and placed Cao Ren in charge of guarding the rear while he went ahead against Yuan Shao. During the campaign against the Yuan brothers, there was this city which was stubbornly defended, whereby Cao Cao lost his temper and ordered that the whole city be exterminated whereby the city became even more difficult to conquer. Cao Ren than pointed out that Cao Cao had commented a grave military error by forcing the defenders to fight for their lives. Upon realising it Cao Cao recinded the order and gave the city an option for survival and the city fell. After this incident Cao Ren was given more autonomy at the field.
A courageous general may not necessary be commander-in-chief material and a commander-in-chief may not have the ability to lead the van guard into battle. But in Cao Ren, we have a general of both calibre. When Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, Cao Ren was left totally incharge of defences in the south to prevent Wu from invading the central plains. In view of thousands of Wu soldiers Cao Ren sent Niu Jin with 300 brave warriors to issue a challege whereby Niu Jin was surrounded and soon became in grave danger. Cao Ren's righteous nature would not stand to see them die and he led a few dozen men and charged in breaking the encirclement and saved Niu Jin and his men. However, not all were saved and Cao Ren went back and rescued them all back.
Cao Ren was a rare general with both valour and wit. Well trained in the military arts. Hence Cao Ren was greatly trusted by Cao Cao and always had alot more freedom to act.
Cao Ren fief and titles were passed on to his son Cao Tai and later grandson Cao Chu. All of Cao Ren's remaining 3 sons were also given titles and fief. Cao Chun is Cao Ren's brother and their family is very wealth.
