Most of Cao Zhi's later works show his ambition, and the typical representative work is White Horse Wang Biao.

This is the masterpiece of Cao Zhi's later creation, which was written in July, 223, the fourth year of Huang Chu. At that time, Cao Zhi and his half-brother, Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng, and his half-brother, Cao Biao, the white horse king, came to Luoyang, the capital, to participate in the activities of "Celebrating the Sun Festival".

During this period, Cao Zhang, who was "skilled in martial arts and full of the spirit of a general" (Biography of the Three Kingdoms Ren Chengwei Wang Zhang Chuan), suddenly died. According to the article Shi Shuo Xin Yu You Regret, Cao Zhang was poisoned by Cao Pi. After the Sun Festival, the princes returned to their fiefs.

Three brothers came together, and now there are only two people left to go back. Cao Zhi is already very sad in his heart. Unexpectedly, the imperial court also sent an emissary named Guan Jun to monitor the vassals' way home along the way, and stipulated that the vassals should leave separately on the way to limit their contact with each other, which made Cao Zhi even more embarrassed and angry. Faced with Cao Pi's sinister means, Cao Zhi felt mixed feelings and was furious, so he wrote this famous sentence "To Wang Biao, a White Horse", which was passed down through the ages.

The extended information "A White Horse for Wang Biao" is divided into seven chapters, which shows Cao Zhi's complex feelings of terror, sadness, hatred and anger, and profoundly exposes the sharp contradictions within the ruling class.

This poem, written in Huang Chu for four years, describes the complicated feelings of being forced to separate from Cao Biao on the way back to the fief, and the feelings are very sad. The whole poem is divided into seven chapters, one of which is about going out of Luoyang, crossing Luoshui and expressing feelings; The second is to express the desolation of the difficult road; Third, the brothers were forced to separate and angrily denounced the villains for alienating each other; Fourth, write about the melancholy in the early autumn's "Yuanye" to express the feeling of sadness and loneliness; Fifthly, mourn for Ren Chengwang Cao Zhang, lament that people's life is short and express their feelings of mourning; The top six are self-forgiveness and comforting each other with their own rhetoric; Seventh, tell the bitter feelings and express the feelings of parting with the white horse king.
