The famous Cao Wei general Xiahou Yuan had eight sons, and in the early years of the disaster in his hometown, there was nothing to eat, and life was very difficult, Xiahou Yuan starved to death because he had to support the daughter of his late brother.
Xiahou Ba, the second son of Xiahou Yuan, was a general from Cao Wei to the Right, and the Shu protector was garrisoned in Longxi.
In the first year of Jiaping (249), the scheming Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Coup", killing the general Cao Shuang and exterminating the three tribes, but Sima Shi was still not at ease, and wantonly killed Cao Shuang's henchmen, and there was blood and rain everywhere.
Immediately afterward, he recruited Cao Shuang's cousin Xiahou Xuan (夏侯玄), the general of Zhengxi, into the dynasty and asked Guo Huai to replace Xiahou Xuan, and Guo Huai was at odds with Xiahou Ba, and coupled with Cao Shuang's relationship with Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Ba had a premonition that Sima Shi's butcher knife was about to cut him, and he prepared to flee to Shu Han.
Before escaping, Xiahou Ba found Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Xuan was his nephew, Xiahou Ba persuaded Xiahou Xuan to go with him, Xiahou Xuan did not want to betray the State of Wei, let Xiahou Ba's bitter persuasion, Xiahou Xuan did not agree, so he returned to the dynasty, and after returning, Xiahou Xuan was killed by Sima Shi.
Xiahou Ba, alone, lost his way in the mountain road into Shu, and the grain was also eaten, Xiahou Ba was extremely hungry, so he killed his horse to fill his hunger, and when he walked, in the rugged Shu Road, he fell and injured his foot, could not walk, and lay down on the mountain road, falling into a desperate situation. As the saying goes, the difficulty of the Shu Dao is difficult to go to the blue sky.
At this time, When Shu Han learned that Xiahou Ba was coming, he sent someone to answer him, and finally, he rescued Xiahou Ba back to Shu Han, and Xiahou Ba almost died in Shu Dao.
When he arrived in Shu Han, the later lord Liu Chan was still good to Xiahou Ba, and made him a cheqi general, above the Wei general Jiang Wei at that time, but at this time, Jiang Wei was a fake festival and could command Xiahou Ba's expedition.
In addition, Liu Chan's empress was Zhang Fei's daughter, Zhang Fei's wife, and Xiahou Ba's cousin, so the two families were also related!
So, Xiahou Ba defected to Shu Han, and was his son killed in Cao Wei? How did it end?
The State of Wei did not kill Xiahou Ba's son because of his defection, but because Xiahou Yuan had made great merits to the State of Wei, he pardoned Xiahou Ba's son, but, sparing him the death penalty and surviving the crime, he still sent Xiahou Ba's son to Lelang Commandery (lelang Commandery) (present-day Pyongyang, Korea).
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Xiahou Yuan's biography, records that He was favored by Cao Shuang. Smelling Shuang, self-doubting, and dying in Shu. Forgive the bully with the old xun and migrate to Lelang County.
Xiahou Ba also had a daughter, who later married Fu Yanghu, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Xiahou Ba escaped from cao wei's son, so did he have a descendant in Shu Han?
After Xiahou Ba entered Shu, he had no sons or daughters in Shu Han, that is to say, there were no descendants.
Why? This should be analyzed from Xiahou Ba's age.
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Xiahou Ba's cousin Xiahou Shi was thirteen or fourteen years old, cutting firewood on the mountain, and was favored by Zhang Fei and married as a wife, so it is estimated that Xiahou Ba was at least fifteen years old at the time.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms quotes Wei Luo as saying: In the fifth year of Jian'an, Shi Ba, from the thirteenth and fourth year of his sister's year, traveled in this county, and traveled to collect trees, which was obtained by Zhang Fei. Fei knew that she was the daughter of a good family, so she thought that she was a wife, and she was the daughter of Liu Chan. When he died at the beginning of the yuan, his wife asked him to be buried.
Xiahou Ba entered Shu in the first year of Jiaping (249), when he was already in his sixties.
Even at this time, Xiahou Ba's wife in Shu Han, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have children, the ancients are more than sixty years old, it is already a wind candle, as the saying goes, life is seventy years old.
In the historical records, after the eighteenth year of Yanxi (255), there is no record of Xiahou Ba.
Xiahou Ba's post as a che riding general was held by Zhang Yi and Liao Hua in the second year of Jing Yao (259), that is, the left and right che riding generals, from which it can be deduced that Xiahou Ba should have died after 256 years, about seventy years old.
In the rendition, Xiahou Ba followed Jiang Wei in the Battle of Taoyang and was killed by a random arrow.
In the main history, it is not said that Xiahou Ba died on the battlefield, although there is no record of how Xiahou Ba died, but it should be a good ending.
Xiahou Ba did not flee to Shu Han, and Xiahou Xuan was an example of Cao Wei's death at the butcher's knife of Sima Shi, so Xiahou Ba was wise.
