Among the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the eleventh is Xiahoudun.

…… ……

Xiahoudun (?) ——220), the character Yuan Jean, a native of 谯 (qiáo present-day Bo County, Anhui). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he raised troops with Cao Cao and led the Eastern County Taishou. Later, he recruited Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. led Chen Liuji Yin Taishou, and ordered to cut off the Taishou water for drought relief; Later, it moved to Yin, Henan.

Cao Pi was proclaimed emperor, served as a general, and died in a few months.

…… ……

Xiahoudun is a descendant of Xiahouying, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, when he was 14 years old, he studied with his teacher, and someone insulted his teacher, Xiahoudun killed that person, so he was famous for his strong character and courage.

…… ……

Cao Cao raised troops against Dong in Chenliu, and Xiahoudun served as a general and followed the expedition. Later, Cao Cao served as the general of Fenwu, made Xiahou Dun Sima, and led troops to live in Baima, and was promoted to the captain of Zhichong, leading the eastern county to guard.

Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, leaving Xiahou to defend Puyang.

Zhang Miao (miǎo) rebelled to meet Lü Bu, Cao Cao's home was in Juancheng, Xiahoudun led his troops lightly, met Lü Bu halfway, and after the battle, Lü Bu retreated, but then entered Puyang and attacked the baggage troops of Xiahoudun's army.

Lü Bu sent generals to surrender and successfully kidnapped Xiahoudun.

Han Hao, Xiahoudun's subordinate general, claimed that according to national law, the safety of the hostages would not be considered, and made a gesture of recruiting troops to attack the hostage-takers.

The hostage-takers were frightened and surrendered to the hostages.

When Cao Cao heard about this, he made it a decree that attacking hostages-takers should not have any scruples, so there were no more hostage-taking incidents in the future.

In 196, Cao Cao took Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang, and Xiahoudun was transferred to Henan Yin.

Cao Cao began to engage Yuan Shao, and Xiahoudun led his troops to defend Aocang and cover the safety of the left side of the army.

Cao Cao conquered the city of Ye, and Xiahoudun was promoted to general Fubo, still serving as the Yin of Henan, and was granted the right to handle affairs on the fly and not be restricted by regulations.

Cao Cao ordered the statistics of Xiahoudun's achievements before and after, and increased the number of food estates by 1,800, adding to the previous total of 2,500 households.

Xiahoudun was ordered to attack Bowangpo, and Liu Bei's ambush plan led the defeated army back.

Xiahoudun followed Cao Cao to conquer Sun Quan, and when he returned, he was assigned to lead 26 armies and stay behind to stay in the nest.

There is a singing and dancing artist in Juchao City, Lingyou, who is very beautiful, the whole Hefei, and even Jiangnan are famous, Xiahoudun secretly had a tryst with him a few times, but he knew that Cao Cao also liked this woman, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would pursue him, so he did not dare to make it public.

Cao Cao knew about this, so he simply gave this beloved, along with the musician, to Xiahoudun as a reward, so that Xiahoudun could openly leave Lingyou in his mansion and spend the night and night.

In 219, Cao Cao's troops were stationed in Mopi, and he often invited Xiahoudun to go out in a chariot with him, which made him appear very close, and allowed him to enter and leave his bedroom freely, which no other general could get. Later, Xiahoudun was promoted to former general, led the army to return to Shouchun, and changed to Zhaoling.

Cao Pi ascended the throne, in February has been named Xiahou as the general, but in April Geng noon Xiahou died on the afternoon of the day, Cao Pi put on plain clothes to the east gate of Yecheng to mourn, Xiahou was loyal to the marquis, Xiahou's family also received preferential treatment.

In 233, on the day of May Renshen, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Cheng Yu were honored by Cao Rong (

ui) courtesy of sacrifice in Cao Cao's temple court.

…… ……

There are also a lot of generals in Wei, there are five good generals, eight **, and the evil of the ancients to Dian Wei, but if you want to say who is the first general of Wei, Xiahoudun can be said to be unconvinced, even Guan Yu is afraid of him.

How powerful is Xiahoudun?

Cao Cao's father Cao Song was originally a son of the Xiahou family, and finally passed to the Cao family, so Cao Cao and Xiahoudun were originally brothers, Cao Cao recruited Xiahoudun and his younger brother Xiahouyuan came with more than 1,000 people, and then Cao's brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong rushed to meet, which formed Cao Cao's descendant army.

When the princes of the 18th Route formed an alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao served as the general of Fenwu, and Xiahou Yuan served as Sima, which was much higher than Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan's other Simas, which shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to Xiahou Tang at that time.

…… ……

Later, after Cao Cao set up his own portal, there was a time when Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and Xiahou Dun was stationed in the rear, at this time Lu Bu came to attack, and Zhang Miao and others rebelled, so that Xiahou Yuan's army was defeated and Lu Bu captured many Cao army generals.

After Xiahoudun returned to the barracks, Lu Bu put a few generals to assassinate Xiahoudun, but he didn't expect it to be really successful, and in the end, if it wasn't for the effective guards of his subordinates, Xiahoudun might really die in the hands of several generals.

Later, when counterattacking Lu Bu, Xiahoudun was shot in the eye by an arrow again, and in the end, although he saved his life, his combat power was greatly reduced because of the loss of an eye, even so, he was still the number one general of Wei, and the generals of Wei obeyed him, and Guan Yu was also afraid of him, why is this?

The first is strength, although Xiahoudun was controlled everywhere in the battle with Lu Bu, his actual combat power was very amazing, Xu Chu couldn't beat Guan Yu with the help of Xu Huang, and was almost killed by Guan Yu, but Xiahoudun was able to draw with Guan Yu, and it was Xiahoudun who lost one eye, if Xiahoudun had both eyes, Guan Yu would not be able to bargain.

Therefore, in terms of strength, Xiahoudun is still the first person in Cao Wei's camp, as a general, he must not only be strong personally, but also have the ability to lead troops to fight.

After Xiahoudun lost an eye, Cao Cao did not often take him with him when he went out, but liked to leave him in the rear, it was not that Cao Cao looked down on him, but handed over his net worth to him, Cao Cao no matter which direction he used his troops, Jingzhou or Yangzhou, under the management of Xiahoudun, there was never a shortage of food, and there was never a fire in the rear.

The battle of Guandu was also dispatched by Xiahoudun in the rear, so that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, who was several times his size, with a small number of troops.

The reason why Xiahoudun was admired by Cao Wei's generals was not only this, but also because several of Cao Cao's generals had worked under Xiahoudun, and both Dian Wei and Xu Zhu had been subordinate to Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun has a habit that his money will be distributed to his subordinates, so his subordinates also respect Xiahoudun very much, Xu Chu is a reckless man who once killed Xu Yu on the street, and even Cao Cao hurriedly contradicted it, but he never contradicted Xiahoudun.

Guan Yu did not shoot directly when he met Xiahoudun after passing five passes and killing six generals, but was asked by Xiahoudun speechlessly, and finally if Cao Cao's release order arrived, the outcome was still two words, so Guan Yu was also very jealous of Xiahoudun, so as Cao Wei's first general, Xiahoudun was worthy of the name.

…… ……

After Xiahoudun's eyes were scarred, he saw Lingyou for the first time, and Lingyou screamed in fright, and Xiahoudun slapped him and broke Lingyou's neck.

…… ……

When Cao Cao was alive, he married his eldest daughter to Xiahou Xuan's second son, Xiahou 楙 (mào).

Up and down, Xiahou Nan also loves singers.

After Cao Pi became emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, he appointed Xiahou Nan as the general of Anxi, holding the festival, garrisoning Chang'an, and supervising Guanzhong, and his power was the same as that of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the expedition to the west of Hubu Guan.

However, he was absent-minded, lived in Chang'an, recruited dancing girls and concubines, and brought back Yecheng, which made Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Princess Qinghe, very dissatisfied. In the end, she and a few uncles joined forces to sue Xiahou Nan for the royal complaint, if it weren't for a minister next to Cao Pi, Xia Hou Mao's crime would have been cured.

…… ……

The nine sons born to Xiahou Dun, in addition to the eldest son Xiahou Chong and the second son Xiahou Nan, the other seven sons and two grandsons were all named Guannei Hou by Cao Pi.
