Chen Jiao

Chen Jiao (?-237) was a minister of Wei who defended Jiangling with Cao Ren. Together, they met Zhou Yu's attack. Cao Ren, fooled by false reports of Zhou Yu's death, advanced leaving the defense of the castle in his hands. He was forced to flee when Zhao Yun took the castle under Zhuge Liang's orders. He later became Minister of Letters and contributed to Cao Pi's ascension to the imperial throne. He was promoted to Interior Minister during the reign of Emperor Ming (Cao Rui).
