Ling Cao
Ling Cao (died 203) was a military officer serving under the warlords Sun Ce and Sun Quan in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He was the father of Ling Tong.
Service under Sun Ce
Ling Cao was known for his bravery and devotion to gallantry in his youth. When Sun Ce first raised his banner in 194, Ling Cao joined him and participated in the latter's conquests in the Jiangdong region. He fought for Sun Ce in various battles and always charged ahead of others on the field.
Within a few years, Sun Ce had completed the conquest of all of Yang Province; however, the restless Shanyue tribes in southeastern China continued to pose a threat to Sun Ce's administration. Sun Ce appointed Ling Cao as the Chief (長) of Yongping County (永平縣) to counter the Shanyue. During his tenure, Ling Cao pacified the Shanyue and maintained low crime rates in the region. He was promoted to "Colonel Who Defeats Bandits" (破賊校尉) for his achievements.
Service under Sun Quan
After Sun Ce was assassinated in 200 CE, Ling Cao continued serving under Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother and successor. In 203, Sun Quan launched a campaign against Huang Zu, the Administrator (太守) of Jiangxia Commandery (江夏郡; around present-day Yunmeng County, Xiaogan, Hubei), to avenge his father Sun Jian, whose death at the Battle of Xiangyang in 191 was caused by Huang. Ling Cao served as the vanguard of Sun Quan's fleet. Upon his arrival at Xiakou (夏口), Ling Cao ordered a charge aimed at the enemy commanding unit. The defence line was immediately broken by Ling Cao's uninterrupted dash, and Huang Zu's navy was thrown into confusion by this sudden attack. Ling Cao then advanced further on a light vessel, but was killed by a stray arrow in the midst of battle. The historical record Wu Shu (吳書; Book of Wu) by Wei Zhao claimed that the arrow was fired by Gan Ning.

by: Ling KaiThere was a girl
With no conviction
Of how to live much less
To die
And so she dated all the boys
Who would take her
A taste of destruction
And joy
Oh such joy
Prechorus:
They drank wine and danced
And pressed their bodies together
Cos tomorrow is just
Another tomorrow
The candlelight
Burns evil
The candle light
Burns hope
Chorus:
She says I never meant to
Take it that far
And took the keys out of the car
Under the stars And they
Were lost
A long way from home
And so she took another ride
From another Beautiful stranger
There was a boy
who never listened
on how to live much less to die
and so he fell inside a dream of his making
a taste of destruction and joy
oh such joy
Prechorus, Chorus etc
Bridge
Maybe she just needs an answer
Maybe he just needs to be asked
But love is a crowded sinking ship
No one wants to get out of
Chorus
