Before the position was built, the thief Liang Xing led more than 5,000 cavalry to attack Xu Huang at night, Xu Huang knocked him away, and then established a bridgehead position. In leap August, Cao's army crossed the river from there. In September, Cao Cao adopted the strategy of the strategist Jia Xu to divide Ma Chao and Han Sui, and finally broke through the Guanzhong army, beheading Cheng Yi and Li Kan. Ma Chao and Han fled to Liangzhou (present-day Gansu and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region).

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Cao Cao sent Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to pacify Huang Mo and Huang Zhudi, and met in Anding. After Cao Cao returned to Ye (yè), he sent Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan Pinghu (fū in present-day Yan'an, Shaanxi Province) and Xiayang Yu thieves to kill Liang Xing and reduce more than 3,000 households.

Xu Huang followed Cao Cao to conquer Zhang Lu, and Xu Huang was promoted to General Pingkou for his merits.

Soon, the siege of General Zhang Shunzhi was relieved, and more than 30 tuns such as Chen Fu were attacked, all of which were broken.

In the same month, Cao Cao returned to Ye, appointed Xiahou Yuan as the general of the capital, and led Xu Huang and Zhang He to garrison Yangpingguan (now west of Mianxian County, Shaanxi) to reject Liu Bei and return to Yecheng by himself.

…… ……

Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong (Zhinan Zheng, present-day Hanzhong, Shaanxi). The Shu army marched to Yangping Pass.

Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Xu Huang and others led the army to block the attack.

Liu Bei sent more than ten battalions including Chen Shi to attack Ma Mingge (now Guangyuan North, Sichuan) in an attempt to cut off the rear passage of Cao's army, but was defeated by Xu Huang, and the Shu army threw itself into the valley, with many dead.

When Cao Cao heard about it, he was very happy, gave Xu Huang the talisman to command the army, and ordered, "This pavilion road is a dangerous place in Hanzhong, and Liu Bei wants to cut off internal and external ties and seize Hanzhong." The general's move shattered Liu Bei's plan, what a clever plan among the best! ”

Later, Xiahou Yuan was killed, and Cao Cao personally went to Hanzhong and withdrew the remaining troops.

…… ……

After Liu Bei succeeded to Hanzhong, he sent Meng Da and Liu Feng to capture Fangling, Shangyong and other places in the east of Hanzhong County, and his power expanded. Next, Sun Quan wanted to attack Hefei, and most of the Wei army mobilized Huainan to defend the Wu army.

Guan Yu, the former general of Shu who guarded Jingzhou, seized the fighter plane, stayed in Nanjun (Zhijiangling, now Jiangling, Hubei) to guard Mi Fang to guard Jiangling, and the general Fu Shiren to guard Gong'an (now northwest of Hubei Gong'an), and led the main force to attack Jingxiang (Wei Jingzhou Zhixinye, now Xinye, Henan; Xiangyang County governs Xiangyang, now Xiangfan, Hubei).

At that time, the general Cao Ren was stationed in Fancheng (now Xiangfan, Hubei), the general Lü was stationed in Xiangyang, and the left general Yu Ban and the Liyi general Pang De were stationed in the north of Fancheng. Xu Huang (then General Pingkou) was stationed in Wan (present-day Nanyang, Henan) to assist Cao Ren in his conquest of Guan Yu.

In August, heavy rain fell for more than ten days, the Han River swelled, and the Forbidden Seventh Army was flooded.

Guan Yu took the opportunity to lead the naval army to attack, Yu Ban was forced to surrender, and Pang Deli was captured and killed.

Guan Yu took advantage of the victory to besiege Fancheng and besieged Xiangyang with a force.

At this time, Wei Jingzhou assassinated Shi Hu Xiu, Nanxiang (Zhinan Township, now southeast of Xichuan, Henan) Taishou Fu Fang, all surrendered to Guan Yu, Lu Hun (now northeast of Song County, Henan) Sun Wolf, etc., also killed officials and raised troops in response to Guan Yu, Guan Yu's momentum for a while "Megatron China".

Cao Cao believed that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in Xudu and was close to the thieves, and he was about to move the capital for a time, but it was stopped by the advice of Prime Minister Sima Yi and Cao Rafter Jiang Ji.

Cao Cao adopted Sima Yi's strategy of using the contradiction to sabotage the alliance between Sun and Liu in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and sent an envoy to meet Sun Quan. At the same time, Xu Huang was instructed to lead the army to rescue Cao Ren.

Xu Huang's troops were mostly new soldiers, and it was difficult to compete with Guan Yu, so he entered Yanglingpo and stationed (north of Fancheng), and Cao Cao sent generals Xu Shang and Lu Jian to order, "We must wait until the soldiers and horses are assembled, and attack together." ”

At that time, Guan Yu was in front of the city, and Xu Huang built a long trench to show that he would cut off the back road of the Shu army.

The Shu army was afraid of being surrounded, burned the camp and withdrew, Xu Huang's army entered Yancheng, camped on both sides, and gradually approached the besieging Shu army, Xu Huang's military camp was only three zhang away from Guan Yu's siege. Guan Yu could hear a loud scolding.

Cao Cao's envoy returned to Luoyang and brought Sun Quan's secret letter, saying that he would send troops west to attack Guan Yu, but please keep it secret in case Guan Yu learned that he was prepared.

Cao Cao adopted Dong Zhao's opinion and deliberately leaked the contents of the letter.

Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to shoot the contents of Sun Quan's secret letter with arrows into Fancheng and Guan Yu's camp respectively. After the besieged Wei army gained the letter, its morale doubled and its defense became stronger; After Guan Yu got the letter, he was in a dilemma.

At this time, in order to rescue Fancheng and Xiangyang, Cao Cao had led the main force from Luoyang to Mopi (now southeast of Jiaxian, Henan), and had successively sent 12 battalions of soldiers such as Yin Department and Zhu Gai to Yancheng, all under the command of Xu Huang.

The main force of Guan Yu's army is Tun Wai Tou, and there are four mounds in one Tun.

Xu Huang used the tactics of attacking the east and the west, threatening to attack the head of the siege, but he unexpectedly attacked the four mounds.

Before the war, because Guan Yu and Xu Huang were fellow villagers and had a good relationship, the two had a distant dialogue, but said that his life was not as good as the military, and soon Xu Huang dismounted and announced the military order, "The person who has the head of Guan Yunchang will have a bounty of a thousand catties." ”

Guan Yu was frightened and said, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" ”

Xu Huang replied, "This is a matter for the state. ”

Then the two armies fought, and Guan Yu was defeated by Xu Huang.

When Guan Yu retreated from the camp, Xu Huang led the army to chase after Guan Yu's defeated army, pursued and killed, and rushed into Guan Yu's camp after him.

At that time, Guan Yu's camp was surrounded by deep trenches and antlers, and the obstacles were extremely tight, so it was extremely difficult to attack from outside the camp. Now Xu Huang took advantage of the chaos of Guan Yu's army, attacked from within, broke it in one fell swoop, and killed Hu Xiu and Fu Fang of Shu.

Guan Yu then retreated and retreated, and the siege of Fancheng was lifted.

Soon, Lü Meng, the governor of Eastern Wu, attacked Jiangling, and Guan Yu was captured and killed.

This battle played a major role in consolidating Cao Cao's southern territory and stabilizing the rear, not only thwarting Guan Yu's powerful offensive, but more importantly, destroying the alliance between Sun and Liu, changing the strategic pattern at that time, and enabling Cao Cao to grasp the strategic initiative.

When Fancheng and Xiangyang were in danger, Cao Cao transferred the famous general Zhang Liao and all the generals back to aid Cao Ren, but Zhang Liao and others did not arrive, Xu Huang had relieved the siege of the two cities, and Cao Cao praised his merits compared to Sun Wu's broken Chu into Ying

g) battle.

Cao Cao said in an edict, "The enemy surrounded the trenches with ten antlers, and the general won the battle, so he fell into the siege of thieves and beheaded many prisoners." I have been using soldiers for more than 30 years, and I have heard that people who were good at using soldiers in ancient times have not been able to drive straight into such a long way (hence the idiom "long drive straight in". Surrounded by enemies. Moreover, the siege of Fan and Xiangyang is better than the siege of Ju and Jimo before, so the general's merits are better than those of Sun Wu and Sui Tho. ”

When Xu Huang triumphed, Cao Cao personally went out of the camp to greet Xu Huang for seven miles, and set up a banquet to celebrate and comfort Xu Huang.

Cao Cao raised 卮 (zhī, a kind of wine container in ancient times. Rotundity. capacity of four liters) said to Xu Huang, "Xiangyang and Fancheng have been preserved, it is your credit to the general!"

Xu Huang governed the army strictly, the order was forbidden, at that time, the army gathered in Mopi, Cao Cao's case was in the camps, many soldiers went out to watch, only Xu Huang's subordinate barracks were neat, and the soldiers were stationed in the formation. Cao Cao sighed, "General Xu can be said to have the style of Zhou Yafu!"

Cao Cao died, Cao Pi was the throne of Wei, named Xu Huang as the right general, and entered the Marquis of Luxiang. In October, Cao Pi was called the emperor, and he was known as Emperor Wen of Wei in history. Xu Huang was enshrined as Yang Hou, and was supervised by the southern general Xiahou Shang, who attacked Shangyong (southwest of Zhushan, Hubei) and defeated the Shu general Liu Feng.

After Liu Feng fled back to Chengdu, he was killed by Liu Bei.

Because Xu Huang guarded Yangping, he was relocated to the Marquis of Yangping. During the Yangping period, Xu Huang took two concubines, both of whom had children, but there is no historical record of the heirs, and it is generally believed that they died young.

…… ……

Later Sun Quan sent Chen Shao to defend Xiangyang, and Xu Huang and Cao Ren attacked Chen Shao and conquered Xiangyang.

In September of the third year of the Huang dynasty (222), Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi led his army to conquer Eastern Wu.

Emperor Wen of Wei ordered the general Cao Xiu, the former general Zhang Liao, and the general Zang Ba of Zhendong to go out of the cave, the general Cao Ren to go out of the mustache, the general Cao Zhen of the upper army, the general Xiahou Shang to conquer the south, the left general Zhang He, and the right general Xu Huang to encircle Nanjun.

Wu Jianwei's general Lü Fan supervised the Fifth Army, and rejected Cao Xiu with the Zhou Army, and the left general Zhuge Jin, the Pingbei general Pan Zhang, and the general Yang Cang (ca

To save Nanjun, General Zhu Huan rejected Cao Ren with the Governor of the Wet Beard. However, Xu Huang, Xiahou Shang and others finally failed to conquer Jiangling, where Zhu Ran was stationed, and had to give up the offensive and retreat.

Emperor Wen of Wei died, and Wu took the opportunity to send the left general Zhuge Jin to the north, and Xu Huang and Sima Yi went to Xiangyang to resist Zhuge Jin.

Xu Huang increased his food by 200 because of his merits, with a total of 3,100 households before and after.

In the first year of Taihe (227), Xu Huang died, and he was called the Marquis of Zhuang, and his son Xu Gai succeeded him.

In the first four years (243), Xu Huang was enshrined in Cao Cao's temple.
