'''Cao Cao''' (155 A.D – 15 March 220 A.D) courtesy name '''Mengde''', was a warlord and the penultimate Grand Chancellor of China of the Eastern Han dynasty who rose to great power in the final years of the Han dynasty. As one of the central figures of the Three Kingdoms period, he laid the foundations for what was to become the state of [[Cao Wei]] and ultimately the Jin dynasty, and was posthumously honoured as "Emperor Wu of Wei". He is often portrayed as a cruel and merciless tyrant in subsequent literature; however, he has also been praised as a brilliant ruler and military genius who treated his subordinates like his family. | '''Cao Cao''' (155 A.D – 15 March 220 A.D) courtesy name '''Mengde''', was a warlord and the penultimate Grand Chancellor of China of the Eastern Han dynasty who rose to great power in the final years of the Han dynasty.
