cao xiong -lrb- birth and death dates unknown -rrb- was a son of cao cao , a warlord who rose to power towards the end of the han dynasty and laid the foundation of the state of cao wei in the three kingdoms period .
not much was recorded in history about cao xiong , except that he died at a relatively young age .
his mother was lady bian , who also bore cao cao another three sons -- cao pi , cao zhang and cao zhi .
cao xiong was the youngest of the four .
in 221 , after cao pi ended the han dynasty and established wei , he granted cao xiong the posthumous title of `` duke huai of xiao '' -lrb- 蕭懷公 -rrb- .
in 229 , during the reign of cao pi 's son cao rui , cao xiong was posthumously elevated to the status of a prince , so his posthumous title became `` prince huai of xiao '' -lrb- 蕭懷王 -rrb- .
