Cao Ang is only mentioned during Cao Cao's death scene (when he appoints Cao Pi as his official successor), and neither Dian Wei nor Jia Xu appear (or are even mentioned) at all. It's also where his mighty bodyguard Dian Wei and his oldest son Cao Ang were killed in a Heroic Sacrifice, and also where the cunning Jia Xu, who would become an important part of Cao's government, first demonstrated how dangerous and useful a tool he could be.

Probably the most expensive project ever made for Chinese TV, Three Kingdoms is a milestone of the Chinese media industry. Three Kingdoms (Original title "三国", or San Guo) is a Chinese TV series made in 2010 and yet another work based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, though it also adapts personalities closer to the actual historical Three Kingdoms.
