Who killed Cao Cao's cleverest youngest son?

Cang Shu, the youngest son of Cao Cao, is a very clever boy. Cao Chong is known to China people, first of all, because of the spread of the story of Cao Chong elephant in primary school Chinese textbooks, and the story is a household name.

In fact, as a very clever genius, Cao Chong has other stories. On the occasion of Cao Cao's 50th birthday, Cao Cao gave a banquet. Cao Cao was so excited that the waiter brought an extremely beautiful pheasant. In front of all the guests, Cao Cao pointed to the pheasant and asked his children, who can make the pheasant dance? Come and try it on me. So, the children came to the pheasant one by one, first Cao Pi, then Cao Zhi and so on. Some of them danced in front of the pheasant, some played the piano for the pheasant, and some simply flapped its wings with bamboo poles, but all means were exhausted to no avail.

Finally, Cao Chong appeared. He ordered his servant to bring a large bronze mirror and put it in front of the pheasant. So the pheasant saw his beautiful figure in the mirror, flapped his wings, kicked his legs, and soon danced. And the more you jump, the more excited you are, and you won't stop. This incident made Cao Cao very happy. Cao Chong is very kind, and his opponent is a servant. Once the shopkeeper guarding the warehouse was in trouble. A saddle he kept was bitten by a mouse in the warehouse. This is a serious dereliction of duty. Once Cao Cao found out, it would be strange for the shopkeeper not to lose his head. So the shopkeeper was frightened and wanted to commit suicide. Later, I asked Cao Chong, and Cao Chong said, Don't be afraid, I have my own way to protect you. I picked up a knife and dug a small hole in my robe. Then I told the shopkeeper that I would tell my father that it was bitten by a mouse.

A few days later, the family got together. Cao Cao asked his sons about their ambitions. Some are willing to be generals, others are willing to write poems, and then they always look at Cao Chong's face. Just say I heard you clearly. It's not that you didn't stand up straight, it's that you didn't stand up straight. You face your father. Oh, yes. At this moment, Cao Caocai realized that the reason why Cao Chong stood sideways was that there was a hole in the left elbow of the brocade robe he gave him, and he deliberately covered it for fear that his father would see it. When Cao Cao asked why, Cao Chong pretended to mumble, all because the child was badly raised and bitten by a mouse. Father, you won't blame me. It is no wonder that Cao Caodao, a mere official robe, was bitten by a mouse.

Cao Chong still has a sad face. As the saying goes, it is not good for the owner that the mouse bites the clothes. Is it bad luck that my robe was bitten? Cao Cao waved his hand and said, I forgive you for not believing that. This is Cao Chong. He is very happy. Suddenly, the little librarian in charge of Cao Cao's harness came running in a panic and confessed to Cao Cao that the harness had been bitten by a mouse. Cao Cao said disapprovingly that Zhong Er's clothes had been bitten by rats, not to mention the saddle. Get up. You are not guilty. The treasurer left with a thousand thanks.

Since then, the story of Cao Chong's rescue of the shopkeeper has spread like wildfire. It's just that Cao Chong died young. After his death, Cao Cao pointed to Cao Zhi and others and said, Son, the death of Zhong Er is my great misfortune and your great fortune.
