Xiahou in history:

Xiahou (?) -220), the character Yuan Rang, a native of Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui), a famous general of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, a descendant of Xiahou Ying, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty, and the founding father of Cao Wei. Xiahou was famous for his courage in the countryside when he was young. Cao Cao raised his army, and Xiahou was one of his earliest generals. For Cao Cao many times to guard the rear, Tuntian to store water, so that the people benefited, outstanding meritorious service. Although Xiahou spent most of his life in the military, he still did not forget to study, personally greeted his teacher, and humbly sought advice. He was a frugal man, and all the rewards he received were given to the soldiers, and he did not buy any property all his life, and he died without any wealth left in his family. He successively served as Captain Zhichong, Jiyin Taishou, General Jianwu, official to general, Fenggao'an Township, and Loyal Marquis.

Early experiences

Xiahou is the younger brother of Xiahou Yuan after Xiahou Ying, the servant of the Western Han Dynasty. He fought fiercely, and when he was fourteen years old, he killed someone who humiliated his teacher. When Cao Cao raised troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, Xiahou followed Cao Cao to fight and served as a general.

In the first year of Chuping (190), after the formation of Dong Zhuo's coalition army, Cao Cao exercised the general of Fenwu, and even took Xiahou as his Sima, and followed Cao Cao to Yangzhou to recruit troops. After Cao Cao established his power, he sent Xiahou Tun Baima, and soon he was promoted to the captain of Chong and led the eastern county to guard.

Lost sight

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao conquered Tao Qian and stayed in Xiahou to guard Puyang.

Pull out the arrow

However, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled against Lü Bu, Cao Cao's family was in Juancheng, and Xiahou led his army to the rescue lightly, just in time to meet Lü Bu's army, and the two sides fought. Lü Bu's army retreated, so Lü Bu took the opportunity to enter Puyang and raided to obtain military supplies for Xiahou's army.

Lü Bu also sent generals to pretend to surrender, and took the opportunity to kidnap Xiahou with Xiahou's subordinates and ask him for precious supplies, Xiahou's soldiers were very shocked and panicked. Xiahou's subordinate Han Hao then commanded the army to be stationed outside the gate of Xiahou's military camp, and ordered the soldiers and generals to stand still, so that the various military camps could settle down. He also claimed that according to national law, he would not consider the safety of the hostages, and made a posture of sending 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.

Xiahou, Xun and Cheng Yu tried their best to protect the three cities, but when they counterattacked Lu Bu, they were injured in the left eye by a stray arrow, and they were defeated and returned, and since then they have been called "Blind Xiahou". But Xiahou attaches great importance to appearance, and every time he looks in the mirror and sees that he is blind, he will be very resentful, and he pushes the mirror to the ground, not liking to be called "blind Xiahou". Later, he regained Chen Liu, Jiyin Taishou, General Ren Jianwu, and Feng Gao'an Township.

At that time, there was a great drought and locust plague, Xiahou cut off the Taishou water, formed a pond, personally carried the soil, led the soldiers to plant rice and cultivate the fields, avoided the danger of lack of food, and the people benefited.

Appoint rewards

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to Xu County, and Xiahou was transferred to Henan Yin.

In the third year of Jian'an (198), he was ordered to send troops to help Liu Bei, who was attacked by Lu Bu's general Gao Shun, but was defeated and returned.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to attack north and reach Ye County. Xiahou was ordered to resist, the two sides confronted each other in Bowangpo, Liu Bei burned his own camp and retreated, Xiahou did not listen to Li Dian's advice, and Yu Ban pursued Liu Bei, leaving Li Dian behind. In the end, Xiahou was defeated by Liu Bei's ambush, but fortunately Li Dian came to the rescue, and Liu Bei retreated.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), after the destruction of Yecheng, he was appointed as the general of Fubo, and he was authorized to engage in it simply, without being bound by the system. As a friend of Tian Chou, he helped Cao Cao persuade Tian Chou to take refuge again, but he was unsuccessful.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Wei Gu rebelled in Hedong, and joined forces with Zhang Sheng, Zhang Yan and Gao Gan, Cao Cao sent Xiahou to conquer and suppress, and sent Zhang Ji to Guanzhong to recruit Ma Teng and other generals, all of which were controlled by Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan sent troops to attack Zhang Sheng, etc., and won a complete victory, killing Wei Gu, Zhang Yan and others, and pardoning the rest of the henchmen.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207 years), 1,800 households were added to the feudal estates due to the merits of the previous year, which was 2,500 households higher than the previous one.

In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), he participated in the war against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Cao Cao conscripted Sun Quan to return, ordered Xiahou to supervise the 26th Army, and Cao Ren, Zhang Liao and others to live in the nest to defend Sun Quan, and gave the musicians who could sing and dance, and ordered: "Wei Jiang can still enjoy the joy of Zhong Qi with the merit of reconciling with Rong, let alone the general!" ”

Extraordinarily courteous

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Cao Cao went to Mopi, summoned Xiahou to the same car, and freely entered Cao Cao's bedroom without passing through the transmission. After worshipping the former general, he supervised the armies to return to Shouchun, and migrated to the mausoleum.

According to the records of "Cao Concealment Biography" and "Shiyu", Huan Jie persuaded Cao Cao to be the emperor, Xiahou thought that Shu should be destroyed first, and when Shu was pacified, Jiangdong would be subordinate, and the two parties were established, and then followed the path of Shun and Yu to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and Cao Cao listened to this opinion.

In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220 years), Cao Cao died of illness, Cao Pi ascended the throne, and in February, he worshiped Xiahou as a general, but in April Geng, Xiahou died, Cao Pi put on plain clothes and went to the east gate of Yecheng to mourn, and gave Xiahou the title of loyal marquis, and Xiahou's family also received preferential treatment.

On the May Renshen Day of the first year of Qinglong (233), Xiahou, Cao Ren, and Cheng Yu were courteously sacrificed by Cao in Cao Cao's temple court because of their merits.

Anecdotal allusions

Not subject to Han duties

Xiahou was loyal to Cao Cao, and at that time, all the generals gave Wei the official title, only Xiahou was still an official of the Han Dynasty, so he wrote to Cao Cao to make him an official of Wei, indicating that he was loyal to Wei. But Cao Cao thought that Xiahou was a Han official with him and belonged to his colleagues in the Han Dynasty.

How could Xiahou submit to Wei's official title, but Xiahou still strongly requested, and finally Cao Cao agreed to his request and made him the former general of Wei.

It is recorded in the background story of Xiahou in the King Continent

In the vast desert, there is a name for unruly winds.

This mercenary with a big sword, named Xiahou, made the bandits on the Silk Road fearful in the name of beheading a hundred people. Where did he come from? No one knows, but his strength is well known, and his prestige is second only to the legendary mercenary group "Dragon".

One evening, at the inn where the mercenaries gathered, the suspicious guy who hid his face under a black cloak piled a large sum of gold on the wine table that blinded all the people present.

"Go here, and the gold will be yours." He unfolded his scribbled map and pointed to a place name. The mercenaries are in an uproar, the big deal they have always dreamed of!

"Transactions from unknown sources are suspicious no matter how you look at them." The heroic man wiped the broadsword and questioned casually.

"Are you scared?"

"No, I would be more attracted to a duel with you than gold."

However, his voice was drowned out in the tumult. People happily took the gold with them, leaving behind the promise of going to the designated place to assemble.

Mercenaries, wanderers, refugees fleeing the desert poured into the barren ruins from all directions. Between the broken walls, they talk about an imminent raid or a raid by nomads.

Unfortunately, all the employers need is their lives. With the murmur of the suspicious guy, the heroic Cao Cao raised his sword high to celebrate his new life.

He was still immersed in intoxication, and the staggering Xiahou stood up, his hand holding the hilt of the knife, and posed as he was about to attack.

The man in black who cast the spell showed a surprised expression, and there was still someone who escaped from his spell? Oh, no...... He traded the price of one eye for survival...... This is...... This is......

"Do you want to avenge your companions?"

Cao Cao let out a loud laugh. "It's just a waste of death."

"When I was very young, my adoptive father taught me how to survive." Xiahou said, "This is a world of the jungle, but I don't think so. You are strong, but I can become stronger by challenging you. So, come to the duel! ”

The man in black had a premonition of danger. He wanted to strike first, but was stopped by the hero:

"Why don't you join me? I promise, you'll meet more duel-worthy opponents. ”

The man waved the broadsword:

"Then you have to be careful with Luo. When there is no opponent, I will still challenge you! ”

What Xia Hou didn't say was that when the vision of one eye was deprived, the fragments of memory were awakened, about his origins, about the secret method......

Let's follow the heroes for the time being, maybe one day, you can find the answer you want. At that time, he will also be stronger enough to protect what he wants.

The invisible eye was aching.

There is its own past in it.

And......
