Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Cao Chun makes his only appearance in chapter 51 of the novel, in which he provides reinforcement for his older brother when he dashes back to save soldier left behind after rescuing Niu Jin. The additional aid helped them triumph and win the day.

With three thousand men of the Wu army, Gan Ning was sent to attack and capture Yiling. Cao Ren consulted his adviser Chen Jiao. By his advice that men must be sent to relieve Yiling quickly, Cao Chun and Niu Jin were sent to help. They formulated a plan and let the city's commander know by messenger. When Gan Ning and his men arrived, he dueled Cao Hong and after winning eventually won the city. That night, Cao Chun and Niu Jin surrounded and laid siege to Yiling.

Cao Chun would later have to withdraw to Nanjun where Cao Ren was holding off the forces of Zhou Yu. When rumors of the latter's death were spread, Cao Ren ordered an immediate attack that day, and Cao Chun's last mention is of him being assigned the rear guard for the army before it attacked.
