Three kingdoms. WEI Shu. Xu Huangchuan

Xu Huangzi Gongming, a native of Yang County, Hedong County. As an official in the county, he accompanied the general Yang Feng on a horse to fight against the thief Kou Yougong and was appointed as a knight lieutenant. Li Xing and Guo Feng launched a rebellion in Chang'an, and Xu Huang persuaded Yang Feng to let him and the emperor return to Luoyang, and Yang Feng obeyed his plan. Emperor Xian crossed the Yellow River to Anyi and made Xu Huang the Marquis of Duting.

After arriving in Luoyang, Han Xian and Dong Chengtian fought for power and profit every day, and Xu Huang persuaded Yang Feng to submit to Cao Cao, Yang Feng obeyed him, and repented, Cao Cao went to Liangdi to fight Yang Feng, and Xu Huang defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao granted Xu Huang the right to fight against the thieves of Chuan County and Yuan Wu, and won a great victory and was promoted to general of Pei.

With Cao Cao's conquest of Lü Bu, Xu Huang alone forced Lü Bu's generals Zhao Shu and Li Zou to surrender. He also beheaded Xiao Gu at Hanoi County with Shi Zhuo, accompanied Cao Cao to break Liu Bei, and then accompanied Cao Cao to defeat Yan Liang, capture Baima City, march to Yanjin, defeat Wen Ugly, and Xu Huang was appointed as a partial general.

Later, he attacked cao hong's strong thief Kou Zhu arm and broke the enemy army; tong Shi Zhuo attacked Yuan Shao's grain convoy in the old city, and because of his greatest merit, he was given the title of Marquis of Duting. Cao Cao besieged Yi County and attacked Handan, and Yiyang County ordered Han Fan to pretend to surrender the city and stubbornly resisted, and Cao Cao ordered Xu Huang to attack. After Xu Huang arrived, he tied a letter in the tail of the arrow and shot it into the city, saying the stakes for Han Fan Chen, and Han Fan repented and surrendered to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang then advised Cao Cao: "Neither Yuan Tan nor Yuan Shang has been defeated, those cities that have not been captured are watching the wind and steering, if Yiyang is destroyed today, tomorrow the cities will be desperately defended, I am afraid that Hebei will not have a peaceful day." I hope that you will allow Yiyang to surrender to make a model for other cities, then all cities will look down at the wind. Cao Cao thought it was right.

Xu Huang also led his troops alone to attack the enemy of Maocheng, set up an ambush and attacked on a large scale, and broke through three garrisons. Again, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Tan at Nanpi, rebelled against the rebels of Pingyuan County, and pacified the county. He also accompanied Cao Cao in his conquest of Jundun and was given the title of General of Yokono.

Then following Cao Cao in his crusade against Jingzhou, Xu Huangdan led an army to Tunza Fancheng and against the thieves in Zhonglu, Linfeng, and Yicheng. He then went to Hanjin with Man to recruit Guan Yu, and cao ren attacked Zhou Yu at Jiangling.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Xu Huang commanded his troops to fight against the rebels in Taiyuan County, surrounded Daling, uprooted the city, and killed the enemy Commander Shang Yao. Han Sui and Ma Chao plotted a rebellion at Guanyou, and Cao Cao sent Xu Huangtun to Fenyin to pacify Hedong County, giving him cattle wine and asking him to go to the grave for his ancestors.

Cao Cao went to Tongguan, worried that he would not be able to cross the Yellow River, and asked Xu Huang about it. Xu Huang said: "The lord's army is here, and the enemy does not send another army to garrison Kasaka, which shows that it is a mistake. Now give me a crack army, cross the river from Kasakazu, act as the vanguard of the whole army, cut off the enemy army, and then capture the enemy. Cao Cao said, "Good." "Send Xu Huang to lead 4,000 cavalry and infantry across the river."

Xu Huang led his troops to dig the trench fence and still had no foothold, the enemy general Liang Xing led more than 5,000 cavalry and infantry to attack, but was repelled by Xu Huang, and Cao Cao's army was able to cross the river, thus defeating Ma Chao's forces. Cao Cao sent Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to ping the Yu elks of The Que and the various tribes of Xiang County, and to join Cao Cao in an order to teach. Cao Cao returned to Yi County, sent Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to pacify the county, defeated Xia Yang's thieves Kou Yu, beheaded Liang Xing, and caused more than 3,000 households to surrender.

　　Then he accompanied Cao Cao in his crusade against Zhang Lu, and sent Xu Huang to conquer the Qi people on the mountains around Yu and Qiuyi, and they all surrendered. Xu Huang was promoted to the post of general of Pingkou, relieved the general Zhang Shun of the siege, and breached more than thirty strongholds of the thief Chen Fu and others.

Cao Cao returned to Yi County, leaving Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to defend Liu Bei at Yangping Pass. Liu Bei sent Chen Shi and more than a dozen other battalions of troops to cut off Ma Mingge Road, Xu Huang attacked from the fork in the road, and the Chen style team was greatly broken, and the enemy was forced to jump into the valley by himself, killing many people. When Cao Cao heard about it, he was very happy, asked Xu Huang to hold the festival, and issued a circular saying: "This cabinet road is a dangerous place for the throat of Hanzhong, and Liu Bei wants to cut off internal and external ties and seize Hanzhong." The general's move shattered Liu Bei's plan, which was really a brilliant plan! ”

Cao Cao then personally went to Yangping Pass, brought out the various armies and horses in Hanzhong, and sent Xu Huang to assist Cao Ren in his crusade against Guan Yu and garrisoned at Wancheng. When the Han River flooded and Yu Ban's troops were flooded, Guan Yu surrounded Cao Ren at Fancheng and the general Lü Chang at Xiangyang. Most of Xu Huang's men were recruits, and it was difficult to fight Guan Yu, so he marched into The Garrison at Yanglingpi.

Cao Cao returned and sent the generals Xu Shang, Lü Jian, and others to see Xu Huang, and issued an order saying, "We must wait for the soldiers and horses to be fully concentrated, and then go out together." "The enemy troops were camping in Yancheng, and after Xu Huang arrived, he designed to dig trenches and make it look like he wanted to cut off the enemy's rear road. The enemy burned down his camp and fled. Xu Huang occupied Yancheng, connected by two camps, and advanced slightly to a place about three meters away from the enemy's encirclement, without attacking. Cao Cao sent Yin Shu, Zhu Gai, and a total of twelve battalions of troops to Xu Huang. The enemy's head was garrisoned, and there was also a garrison in Shizuka.

Xu Huang threatened to attack the defending enemy of the siege, but secretly attacked the four tombs, Guan Yu saw that the four tombs were about to be breached, personally led five thousand steps and cavalry to fight, Xu Huang met the attack, Guan Yu retreated, Xu Huang took advantage of the victory to pursue, rushed into the enemy siege with a drum, broke the enemy army, and many people threw themselves into the water and died.

　　Cao Cao's edict said: The enemy is surrounded by trenches and antlers layer by layer, the general wins the battle, captures the enemy's siege, and kills a large number of enemy prisoners, I have used troops for more than thirty years, plus the people who are good at using troops in ancient times, and there is no long drive straight into the enemy's heavy siege, and the encirclement of Fancheng and Xiangyang is much more serious than that of Jucheng and Jimo in the Warring States period, and the merits of the generals are greater than those of Sun Wu and Sima Hoang.

Xu Huang reorganized his troops and returned to Mopi, and Cao Cao went out of the city seven miles to greet Xu Huang and set up a banquet to celebrate. Personally raised a glass to persuade him to drink, comforted him and said: "Saving Fancheng and Xiangyang is the credit of the general." At that time, all the people and horses were gathered together, Cao Cao inspected the battalions, the soldiers all left the queue to watch Cao Cao, there was Xu Huang's military camp neatly, and all the soldiers stood still in the queue.

Cao Cao sighed and said, "General Xu can be said to have the demeanor of Zhou Yafu. "Cao Pi was the throne, and Xu Huang was made the Right General, and the Marquis of Luxiang was created in Jin. After Cao Pi ascended the throne as emperor, he was also given the title of Marquis of Yang. He went to Shangyong with Xiahou Shang to attack Liu Bei and defeat the enemy. Emperor Wen ordered Xu Huangzhen to guard Yangping Pass and made him the Marquis of Yangping.

When Emperor Ming of Wei ascended the throne, Xu Huang defended against the Wu general Zhuge Jin in Xiangyang, and the imperial court added 200 households to him, along with the previous 3,100 households. Dying of illness, the will buried him in the clothes he usually wears. Xu Huang is cautious and frugal. Commanding an army often does not rely on reconnaissance, but first makes preparations for not winning a battle, and then begins to fight, pursuing and striving for real profits, and the soldiers often cannot take care of eating.

　　Xu Huang often sighed and said, "The ancients were worried about not meeting a wise monarch, but now fortunately I have met, I should build up my strength, and I should use myself to boast about myself!" "Never make more friends.

　　He died in 230. The imperial court gave Zhuang Hou the title of Marquis. His son Xu Gai inherited the title. After Xu Gai's death, his son Xu Ba attacked the lord. Emperor Ming gave Xu Huangyi the title of Marquis of Li.

At first, Zhu Ling of Qinghe served as a general under Yuan Shao, and when Cao Cao was recruiting Tao Qian, Yuan Shao sent Zhu Ling to lead three battalions to assist Cao Cao. Most of the generals sent by Yuan Shao were to be sent back. Zhu Ling said, "I read a lot of people, and I don't do things like Cao Gong. Now that you have met the true Lord, who else do you want to run to? He stayed and never left, and all the soldiers he brought admired Cao Cao and followed Zhu Ling. Zhu Ling also became a good general, second only to Xu Huang in reputation, and was promoted to the rank of rear general, and was given the title of Marquis of Tang Ting.

　　Comment: Cao Cao established such martial arts, and the good generals at that time, five people were the first among them. Yu Ban was the most calm and dignified, but in the end he failed to complete the festival. Zhang Gao was known for his ingenuity and adaptability, and Lejin was known for his bravery and decisiveness, but compared with their actions, it did not match what they had heard, perhaps the records were missing, not as complete and detailed as the biographies of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
