166 In the midst of danger, I remembered my cousin......

After the bell meeting is over, it is Dian Wei, and Dian Wei has written.

Below Dian Wei, it is Xiahou Ba.

is a member of the Xiahou family again, and a person with a compound surname.

During the Three Kingdoms period, men's names were all two-character and three-character surnames; And women's names are mostly three words. The woman with the compound surname is also three words, such as Zhuge Guo, the daughter of Zhuge Liang.

…… ……

Xiahou Ba.

Xiahou Ba, year of birth and death unknown, the word Zhongquan, a native of Peiguo (Qiáo now Bozhou, Anhui), an important general of Wei and Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, the second son of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west, and his mother was the sister of Cao ** Ding.

In the Wei State of the official to the right general, the Shu guard, the knighthood of Bochang Pavilion Marquis, stationed in Longxi; During the Shu Han Dynasty, he was the main general of the Northern Expedition, and participated in the wars of Yu Shu and Wei many times.

In the first year of Jiaping (249), Sima Yi staged a coup d'état and killed Cao Shuang.

Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengxi, was transferred to the court, and Guo Huai, the assassin of Yongzhou, succeeded him as the general of Zhengxi.

Xiahou Xuan is Xiahou Ba's cousin and Cao Shuang's cousin.

Xiahouba was treated favorably by Cao Shuang in the past, and he was at odds with Guo Huai. After Cao Shuang was killed by Sima Yi, he was uneasy and defected to Shu Han, where he was appointed as a chariot general, and once accompanied Jiang Wei to Wei.

…… ……

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), 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.

In the early Huang dynasty (220-226), Xiahou Ba served as a partial general and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei.

In the fourth year of Taihe (230), Wei launched a large-scale crusade against Shu Han, and Cao Zhen led his army into the Meridian Road and appointed Xiahou Ba as the vanguard.

Xiahou Ba led the army to advance to Xingshiwei (place name).

When Xiahou Ba encamped in Qugu, Shu Han underestimated him very much after learning that the vanguard of Wei was Xiahou Ba, an unknown person, and sent troops to attack him.

Xiahouba's first independent battle was disadvantageous, but fortunately, he was still a little calm, and went to the antlers to command, actively defended to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and relieved the siege.

…… ……

In the third year of the early Jing Dynasty (239), Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming was isolated from Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and Xiahou Ba was reused by Cao Shuang.

In the fifth year of Zhengshi (244), 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), the leaders of the Qiang people in Longxi, Nan'an, Jincheng and Xiping of Wei united to rebel against Wei, besiege the town, and surrender to Shu Han.

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 him, 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 storm the Xiahou Ba department of the wings 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), Jiang Wei sent an army to invade the north again in response to Zhiwu Dai, Guo Huai in order not to make the Shu army and Hu soldiers together, so he sent Xiahou Ba to lead the army to pursue Jiang Wei in the middle of the river, and Xiahou Ba successfully hindered the Shu and Hu troops.

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

Xiahou Baping was at odds with Guo Huai, thinking that this time would inevitably cause harm, and he was very afraid, run away, if he didn't escape, he would die.

But where to flee? He has always "conquered Shu", and on the front line in the west, he fled to Shu, didn't he go to die?

However, fleeing to Soochow? Not to mention whether Dongwu can accept himself, from the front line of Shu Wei where he is located to Dongwu, he has to cross most of the Wei State, which is even more like a sheep into a tiger's mouth and a bird into a painting cage.

Want to come back again, Shu Han? Shu Han has his own cousin!

When Xiahou Ba was in danger, he thought of his cousin

I think back then, the Shu Han general Zhang Fei robbed my cousin, acted as his concubine, and gave birth to two daughters to Zhang Fei, both of whom became the empress of the Shu Han Emperor, I am their cousin, they can't let me go?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ba made up his mind: to flee to Shuhan.

The military general has always been a doer, and he can do whatever he wants, so Xiahou Ba sneaked out of the camp and fled in the direction of Shu Han.

However, he lost his way in Yinping, turned around for a few days, and ran out of food he brought, and was sighing that God did not bless the Xiahou family when he was discovered by the Shu soldiers......

…… ……

Xiahou Ba still has the stalk of killing his father in his heart.

Therefore, when Xiahouba was sent to Chengdu, when Liu Chan summoned Xiahouba, he comforted Xiahouba and said, "Your father was killed in the battle by himself, not by my ancestors." Then he pointed to his son and said, "This is also the son and nephew of the Xiahou clan." ”

Xiahou Ba 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 his father's defection 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 taken control of the Wei government, do you think he will have any attempts to conquer other countries?" ”

Xiahouba 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.

In the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255), Sima Shi, who was in charge of Wei State, died of illness, and Jiang Wei took the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of people with Xiahou Ba and Zhang Yi, the general of the expedition to the west, and divided the troops into three routes to the north to attack the Wei State, and defeated the Yongzhou Assassin Wang Jing of Wei in Taoxi, and tens of thousands of people died in Wang Jing's army.

Wang Jing retreated to Didao City, Jiang Wei marched into Didao City, and Chen Tai, the general of Wei Zhengxi, sent troops to relieve the siege, and Jiang Wei withdrew his troops to garrison Zhongdi.

Interesting anecdote

Once, Xiahou Ba, who was then the general of the Shu Han chariot cavalry, wanted to meet the generous and heroic and well-known Shu Han Dangkou general Zhang Yu (嶷

ì) to make friends, so to Zhang Xuan (嶷

ì) said, "Although it is sparse from the foot, but the heart is the same as before, it is advisable to understand this meaning." ”

Can be hidden (嶷

But he said, "The servant doesn't know the son, the son doesn't know me, the road is there, He Yun is in the heart!" I hope that in three years, Xu Chen Siyan. ”

I touched my nose again, and I couldn't even make a friend at this time. However, Xiahouba's status in Shu Han has been continuously improved, which can be regarded as a small compensation for his life experience.

…… ……

Birth and death examination

Regarding the age of Xiahou Ba, there is a comparative parameter that his cousin Xiahou was 14 years old when he was 14 years old and was captured by Zhang Fei in the fifth year of Han Jian'an (200 years), so it is inferred that Xiahou was born in 187, so Xiahou Ba, who is also the elder brother of the same generation, should have been born before 187.

Xiahou Ba was already in his early thirties when his father Xiahou Yuan died in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), and he was already in his forties in the second year of Qinglong (234), when he first went to war.

And the first year of Jiaping (249), when he defected to Shu Han, was already an old man in his sixties, so it is no wonder that he disappeared after the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255) not long after.

According to the records of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 45, Shu Shu 15, and the Fifteenth Biography of Deng Zhangzong Yang", Xiahouba's predecessor rode general Deng Zhi died in the fourteenth year of Yanxi (251), while Xiahouba's successors Zhang Yi and Liao Hua served as the left and right chariot cavalry generals in the second year of Jingyao (259), and he was still there in the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255) in the "Zizhi Tongjian", so Xiahouba's death time should be between 256 and 259, at the age of more than seventy.
