Saying that Xiahou Yuan was a general under Cao Cao, many people may not think so. If nothing else, it was because Xiahou Yuan died at the hands of the famous Shu Han general Huang Zhong. In fact, the death of a general on the battlefield, this is the highest reward as a general, as the saying goes, isn't this the case with the shroud of Ma Ge? Such first-class generals as Sun Jian and Guan Yu did not also die at the hands of nobody, so Xiahou Yuan was also the leading general under Cao Cao.
This is a well-documented fact. In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, five years before Xiahou Yuan's death, Cao Cao had just praised him. "Song Jian was rebellious for more than thirty years, and Yuan was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the tiger stepped to the right, and the direction was invincibility. Jonny had a saying: 'I am not as good as Er.' It can be seen that Xiahou Yuan is very remarkable.
In the Book of Wei, it is said that "Yuan is a general, goes to an emergency, and often surprises the enemy." There is also the second half of the Wei Shu, and the military said: "Xiahou Yuan, a lieutenant of the military academy, five hundred in three days, and one thousand in six days." It can be seen that what Xiahou Yuan is best at is long-distance raids, this military style is a double-edged sword, playing well is Huo to go sick, playing badly is brutal, and will lose very badly. Xiahou Yuan died in that battle, and Liu Bei did a good job. At that time, the famous general Zhang Gao lost the battle, so Xiahou Yuan divided half of his troops to Zhang Gao. After Xiahou's division of troops, Fa Zheng hinted that it was time to send troops.
So Huang Zhong, condescending, raided Xiahou Yuan. That night, the fierce old man Huang Hansheng looked at Xiahou Yuan's eyes and showed the belief of victory. As a result, Xiahou Yuan misbehaved and was beheaded and dismounted.
Xiahou Yuan was powerful, and Huang Zhong, who killed Xiahou Yuan, became a famous Five Tiger General of the Shu Han Dynasty. Moreover, Fa Zheng, who gave advice, thus became one of Liu Bei's most trusted advisers, even surpassing Zhuge Liang.
In fact, Xiahou Yuan was very powerful, and the data proved it: Chang Feng rebelled, sent to the forbidden attack, did not pull out, re-dispatched Yuan and forbidden force, then attacked the feng, lowered its more than ten tuns, and the feng yi was forbidden to descend. He also said: Taizu enlisted Sun Quan to return, so that the generals of the Yuan Governor would attack the Rebel Lei Xu of Lujiang, Xu Pu, and then marched to the Western Protectorate, and The Governor Xu Huang attacked the Taiyuan thieves, captured more than twenty tuns, beheaded the thief Shuai Shang Yao, and slaughtered his city. From the conquest of Han Sui and others, fought in Weinan. He also supervised the spirit of Ping Kui Mi and Yin Yi. Settle down with Taizu and lower Yang Qiu. What do you mean:
First, the northwest is difficult to conquer. Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, and Zhong Xuan tossed and turned here, and finally Xiahou Yuan fought a seven-seven-eight-eight.
Second, Ma Chao was beaten back by Cao Cao at the Battle of Weishui, but was eventually given a flight by Xiahou Yuan. The same is true of Han Sui.
Third, Song Jian tossed in the northwest for thirty years, and only Xiahou Yuan could withstand it.
Lao Tzu's heroes are good men, and Xiahou Yuan's sons are not pussy:
Xiahou Heng, the eldest, was Cao Cao's niece and son-in-law, although he did not make many great contributions, but the emperor's relatives and relatives were very valued, and after his father died in battle, he inherited the title of his father Xiahou Yuan at a young age, and then became the Marquis of Anningting.
Xiahou Ba, the second oldest, was an official of the State of Wei to the Right General, a Shu protector, and was given the title of Marquis of Bochangting, and was stationed in Longxi. After Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang and gradually stole Cao's power, Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu Han and became a famous general of Western Shu.
Old Sanxia Hou said that he was very talented in combat. Xiahou said that since he was a child, he liked to march and deploy, leading a group of children to simulate fighting, with plates and eyes. If someone disobeyed the order, Xiahou claimed to be merciless in beating people. Xiahou Yuan liked this son very much, and once deliberately brought a military book, and told his son to read the "Biography of Xiang Yu", hoping that his son could learn the art of war and turn the impulse to be enthusiastic about the military into reason. But Xiahou said that he had pushed all the information books aside, and said very atmospherically: "Those who can do it can be naturally able to do it, so why should they learn from others?" Xiahou Yuan felt in his heart that this son was very remarkable. When he was sixteen years old, Xiahou Yuan took his son out of the house, and when he saw a tiger on the road, Xiahou said that he immediately rushed out of the team to catch up. Xiahou Yuan quickly sent someone to catch up, but where to catch up. However, just when the tiger was about to pounce on Xiahou Zheng, Xiahou said that Zhang took the bow and arrow, and even shot the tiger to death with one arrow. Heaven was jealous of the talent, but unfortunately he died at the age of eighteen.
The fourth Xiahou Wei was very chivalrous, and Xiahou Wei often helped some promising young people with a good reputation, and once served as the Assassin of Jingzhou and the Assassin of Yanzhou. He died at the age of forty-nine. Xiahou Wei's branch was very well mixed, and many of his sons and grandchildren served as Taishou and Assassin Officials, and they also climbed relatives with the Western Jin Dynasty.
The old fifth Xiahou Rong, a prodigy, exported into a chapter, and the fountain of literary thoughts gushed. Xiahou Rong was able to write articles at the age of seven, and it is said that he could write them down after reading a book once. Cao Pi heard about Xiahou Rong's skill, and specially held a large banquet, inviting more than a hundred celebrities at that time. Celebrities attending the banquet will prepare a business card with their names, hometowns, and official positions written on them. Xiahou Rong read it all and wrote it all down. Some people did not believe it, and Xiahou Rong performed on the spot, saying the names, hometowns, and official positions of more than a hundred people present without a single mistake. For a moment, the government and the opposition were sensational, and Cao Pi also felt that Xiahou Rong was very peculiar. When Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle, Xiahou Rong was in the camp. His subordinates carried Xiahou Rong to escape, but Xiahou Rong resolutely refused to comply. Xiahou Rong said, "My father is now dead in battle, how can my son escape alone?" Therefore, the thirteen-year-old Xiahou Rong carried his sword and rushed towards the Shu Han army, and a generation of wizards died in the rebellion.
The sixth is called Xiahou Hui, and the seventh is called Xiahou He, and he has his mediocrity. These two old brothers were born relatively late, and when they became officials, they missed the most glorious era of the Xiahou family. After Sima Shi came to power, he suppressed the Cao Wei forces in the imperial court so much that many people had to pretend to like metaphysics and stay away from politics. The two brothers have good articles, their eloquence is also very good, and they are not very concerned about being officials, and they talk about Lao Zhuang with a group of friends all day long. Xiahou Huidang to Yan Guoxiang (mayor level), Le'an Taishou, Xiahou Hedang to Henan Yin (Prefecture Pastor, Governor rank). Official positions are not big, nor are they small.
