Cao Cao was pleased to see his distant nephew, whom he described as the thousand-li horse of his family. He also had Cao Xiu reside with his future successor Cao Pi, and treated Cao Xiu like his own son. Henceforth Cao Xiu followed Cao Cao on many military campaigns.

In 228, Cao Rui launched yet another offensive against Sun Quan. Cao Xiu led a force towards Xunyang (寻阳). Believing the words of an enemy general who pretended to surrender, he led his army deep into unfriendly territory and was routed. Submitting a memorial, Cao Xiu pled guilty for his misjudgement. Cao Rui, however, not only forgave him but treated him with even more respect thereafter.
Unfortunately, Cao Xiu died shortly after from skin infections on the back. He was given the posthumous title of Marquis Zhuang (壯侯), literally meaning the robust marquis.
