Cao Cao
155 CE–220 CE · Ye (Yecheng)
Cao Cao was the dominant warlord, statesman, and poet of the crumbling Eastern Han. Rising during the suppression of the Yellow Turban rebellion, he gained control of the imperial court by holding the powerless Emperor Xian, and after his victory at Guandu unified much of northern China. Checked at the Battle of Red Cliffs in 208, he was titled King of Wei. His son Cao Pi formally ended the Han in 220 and founded the state of Wei, opening the Three Kingdoms era; Cao Cao was honored posthumously as Emperor Wu of Wei.
