Chapter 567: The eldest son of Great Wei

Pity the Han Xiahou Ba, and the arrows on the edge of the city died in an instant. ----- "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

It is said that Zhao Yun led a long-distance attack on Heqi City, and luckily attacked the city gate, and caught Cao Jun, who was guarding the north of Heqi City, by surprise. After the brigade broke through to Heqi, it started a street battle with the 5,000 defenders in the city, and the equipment and combat power of the Cao army were too far from Zhao Yun's light cavalry, and the Qinglong army finally took control of the whole city after a fierce battle throughout the day.

Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear rushed left and right in the city, as if entering a no-man's land. Seeing that the streets and alleys were cleared, a small group of black-armored tigers and leopards suddenly saw a small group of black-armored tigers and leopards riding to protect a young official and flee in the direction of Xicheng. Zhao Yun was one against two, one of the opponents was a young general with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other was an arrogant young civil official, one made a gun, the other wielded a sword, and was suppressed by Zhao Yun with a gun and a knife. The Blue Dragon Army then annihilated the small group of tigers and leopards.

The young civil official has his own momentum of looking at the world, although he is tied by ropes, he still disdains to hide his identity, and says proudly: "I am Cao Ang." ”

At this moment, if Long Chen, who had crossed over, was here, a monstrous wave would inevitably rise in his heart. In the official history, Cao Cao is eloquent and strategic, and the most regrettable thing in his life is the death of his eldest son Cao Ang. Cao Ang was smart and resolute, and Cao Cao liked him the most, and at the age of twenty he was elected to be filial piety and was cultivated by Cao Cao as his heir. In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Ang went out with Cao Cao to defeat Zhang Xiu. This battle was like a bamboo, Zhang Xiu announced his surrender without supporting it for a few days, and together with the think tank Jia Xu, he was taken under Cao Cao's command. However, when Zhang Xiu took the whole clan to visit Cao Cao, Cao Cao fell in love with Zhang Ji's widow at a glance. The Zou family is as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as snow, and Cao Cao is favored by Cao Cao at a glance. Cao Cao has always loved **, how can he let go of such a beauty?

Zhang Xiu found that her aunt was insulted, felt that she was being slighted, and was very angry, and Cao Cao was carried away by Zhang Xiu's surrender soon, and continued to let Zhang Xiu lead the troops, not taking this matter to heart at all. Zhang Xiu led his veterans to launch a surprise attack, which caught Cao Cao by surprise, and the filial Cao Ang gave his horse to his father, allowing Cao Cao to break out of the siege, and he and Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin, as well as Cao Cao's favorite general Dian Wei, because of Cao Cao's lust, all died in Zhang Xiu's Wancheng.

After Cao Ang's death, his adoptive mother, Madame Ding, was very sad, and after learning the cause of Cao Ang's death, she had a disagreement with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was angry and drove Madame Ding back to her hometown. Later, Cao Cao regretted it and went to Mrs. Ding many times, but Mrs. Ding just closed the door and didn't see it at all, Cao Cao had no choice but to let Mrs. Ding's father persuade her to remarry, but Mrs. Ding is Cao Cao's ex-wife after all, where does anyone dare to marry her? In this way, Mrs. Ding lived alone for the rest of her life.

The impact of Cao Ang's death was huge, and Mrs. Ding left because of this, the only thing Cao Cao couldn't rest assured about before he died was this, what he was most worried about was that when he went to the underworld, Cao Ang would want to see his mother, but he had already lost Mrs. Ding. But the lord of the world cannot do without the main room, Cao Cao put his side room Bian upright, this Bian is the biological mother of Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi, and later became the emperor, it was Cao Pi.

This unexpected hostage made Zhao Yun very happy in his heart, the news of the loss of Heqi City is estimated to ferment tomorrow, as the so-called one stone stirs up a thousand waves, he can only defend Heqi City to the death, resist the siege of hundreds of thousands of Cao troops. He has occupied the most important position, and the victory or defeat depends on the game between Zhou Gongjin, Zhuge Liang, Cheng Zhongde, Cao Mengde and other masterminds, and the smoke of the war is about to fill the Huai River and the Yangtze River.

Beside Cao Ang, the captured young general with thick eyebrows and big eyes was full of fearlessness, and Zhao Yun asked with a smile: "You can become Cao Ang's personal guard, won't you also be surnamed Cao?" If you don't have the surname Cao, why not descend early? ”

The young general replied with wide eyes: "I, Xiahou Ba, swear not to surrender!" ”

Zhao Yun knew that the surname Xiahou and the surname Cao were too deep, and almost all of them were soldiers under Cao Cao's command, and they would never surrender to the enemy easily. Then he asked, "Xiahou Ba?" Haven't heard of it. Is your dad Xiahou Yuan or Xiahou Yuan? ”

Xiahou Ba rolled his eyes irritated by Zhao Yun, but it was true that Zhao Yun's martial arts were too high, and it was completely weightless to defeat the two of them in a breath. However, although Zhao Yun said with ridicule, the reason was that he had really never heard of Xiahou Ba, if Chen Long was by his side, I am afraid that the heart lake that had just calmed down would be turbulent again.

Xiahou Ba, the word Zhongquan, the second son of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west. In the official history, Xiahou Ba did have a strong color in the late Three Kingdoms, because Xiahou Ba was an important general in the late Wei and Shu Han periods at the same time, and there was no one.

Xiahouba's mother is the sister of Cao Cao's Lady Ding, so Xiahouba and Cao Ang are authentic cousins. Xiahou Ba was in Wei to the right general, to protect the Shu army, knighted the Marquis of Bochang Pavilion, and stationed in Longxi; During the Shu Han Dynasty, he was the main general of the Northern Expedition, and participated in the Yu Shu and Wei wars many times.

In the official history, in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219 AD), Xiahou Ba's father Xiahou Yuan served as the general of the expedition to the west, guarding Hanzhong, and was beheaded by the Shu Han general Huang Zhong in the battle of Dingjun Mountain and the Shu Han army. Xiahou Ba often gritted his teeth, determined to avenge his father Xiahou Yuan. In the fourth year of Taihe (230 AD), Wei launched a large-scale crusade against Shu Han, Cao Zhen led his army into the Meridian Road, and Xiahou Ba invited himself to be the vanguard.

Xiahou Ba led the army to advance to Xingshiwei and set up camp in the Qu Valley. Shu Han learned that the vanguard of Wei was an unknown person named Xiahou Ba, and he looked down on him very much, and directly sent troops to attack him. Xiahouba's first independent battle was unfavorable, but fortunately, Xiahouba was still a little calm, and went to the antlers to command, and actively defended and finally waited for reinforcements to arrive.

In the third year of the early Jing Dynasty (239 AD), Emperor Cao Ruituo of Wei Ming was alone with Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and Xiahou Ba was reused by Cao Shuang. In the first five years (244 AD), Emperor Cao Fang of Wei appointed Xiahou Ba as the protector of Shu and the right general, entered the Bochang Pavilion Marquis, and let him garrison Longxi. Xiahou Ba practiced military training in Longxi, and improved the relationship between Wei and the local ethnic minorities, and won the support of the ethnic minorities. In the same year, Xiahou Ba replaced Xiahou Ru as the protector of Zhengshu, which belonged to the command of General Zhengxi.

In the eighth year of Zhengshi (247 AD), the leaders of the Qiang people in Longxi, Nan'an, Jincheng, and Xiping of Wei joined forces to rebel against Wei, besiege the town and surrender to Shu Han, and the Shu Han general Jiang Wei sent troops to Longyou to meet them, and the leader of the Hu people in Liangzhou, Zhi Wudai, also echoed the rebellion. Xiahou Ba led the troops to garrison the wings at that time, and Guo Huai, the former general of Yongzhou who was at odds with Xiahou Ba, expected that Jiang Wei would inevitably attack Xiahou Ba, so he first entered Fengzhong and then transferred his troops to the south, taking the opportunity to let Xiahou Ba act as a shield to resist Jiang Wei's attack, Jiang Wei also led the army to attack Xiahou Ba's department as Guo Huai expected. Soon after the battle, Guo Huaicai led his troops south to meet Xiahouba, and fought with Xiahouba and Jiang Wei in Taoxi, and repelled Jiang Wei.

In the ninth year of Zhengshi (248 AD), Jiang Wei sent the army to invade the north again in response to the treatment of Wudai, Guo Huai in order not to make the Shu army and the Hu soldiers together, so he sent Xiahou Ba to lead the army to pursue Jiang Wei in the middle of the river, Xiahou Ba successfully hindered the Shu Hu army.

In the first year of Jiaping (249 AD), Sima Yi staged a coup d'état and killed Cao Shuang, the general who was in charge of the Wei state.

Xiahou Baping and Guo Huai were at odds with each other, thinking that this time would inevitably cause harm, and they were very afraid, so they simply planned to defect into Shu Han, but they lost their way in Yinping and were trapped in the mountains.

After Shu Han learned about it, he sent someone to greet Xiahou Ba. Once, when Xiahou Ba's cousin Xiahou went out to collect firewood, she was discovered by Zhang Fei, an important minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei married her, and gave birth to a daughter who became the queen of the queen Liu Chan. So when summoning Xiahou Ba, Liu Chan comforted him and said: "Your father died heroically in the battle, not killed by my senior generals. He pointed to his son and said, "This is also the son and nephew of the Xiahou clan." Xiahouba was then reused in Shu Han and was appointed as a chariot general.

Because of Xiahou Yuan's previous exploits, Xiahou Ba's son who remained in Wei was pardoned and his father was not prosecuted for defecting to the enemy, but was relocated to the remote county of Lelang (present-day Pyongyang, North Korea).

After Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu Han, Jiang Wei, the commander of Shu Han, asked Xiahou Ba and said: "Since Sima Yi has controlled the Wei government, do you think he will have any intention to conquer other countries?" Xiahou Ba said: "He is running and sorting out internal affairs, and he doesn't care about foreign expeditions." But there is a person named Zhong Hui, although he is young, if he manages the government, it will be a worry for Wu and Shu. ”

Since then, Xiahouba has participated in Jiang Wei's wars against Wei many times. Sima Shi of Wei Bingzheng died of illness, Jiang Wei took the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of people out of Di Dao with Xiahou Ba and Zhang Yi, the general of Zhengxi, and divided the troops into three routes to the north to attack Wei, and defeated Wang Jing of Yongzhou in Taoxi, Wang Jing's troops died tens of thousands of people and retreated to Di Dao City, Jiang Wei marched into Di Dao City, and Chen Tai, the general of Wei Zhengxi, sent troops to relieve the siege, Jiang Wei then retreated and garrisoned Zhong Di.

In the official history, Xiahouba's death is a mystery case, maybe he died on the battlefield, maybe he was the old Shu Han, but according to the ending deduced in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xiahouba followed Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition in Shu, defeated Guo Huai in less than ten rounds to rescue Jiang Wei, and finally Deng Ai was ambushed and shot in the Battle of Taoyang, which is really embarrassing.

Later generations have a poem sighing: "The bold Jiang Wei is wonderful, who knows that Deng Ai is secretly on guard." Pity the Han Xiahou Ba, and the arrows on the edge of the city died in an instant. ”
