曹豹 / Cao Bao (late Han)

曹豹 / Cao Bao (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 999 as the Xiapi official whose conflict with 张飞 opens the rear of 刘备’s 徐州 position. The episode says Cao Bao had served 陶谦, did not get along with Zhang Fei, and was killed after Zhang Fei found a pretext.

The source treats his death as the proximate trigger for disorder in 下邳. That disorder makes 许耽’s gate-opening to 吕布 possible and turns 袁术’s grain promise into a successful attack route against Liu Bei.
