So, what was Xiahou Yuan like in history?
Who is Xia? What kind of person was Xia in history?
About summer,
Xia is the wife and sister of Cao Cao after the courtiers of the Western Han Dynasty. Cao Cao was involved in a case in his hometown, and Xia took responsibility for it. Later, Cao Cao tried to save him and avoided the disaster. At that time, there was chaos in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Xia abandoned his youngest son because of hunger to support his dead brother and orphan daughter.
In the sixth year of Zhong Ping (189), in December, Cao Cao set out for Chen Liu, and in the summer, he followed Cao Cao as Sima and Qiwei. In August of the fifth year of Jian 'an (200), Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in Guandu, and Xia Houyuan became a captain of the warlord. In October, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Xia Du transported rations to Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou. At that time, there was a shortage of rations in the army, and materials were dispatched in time in summer, so the military situation was revived. In the same year, Xia 13, the daughter of her 4-year-old dead brother, went out of the city to collect firewood and married Zhang Fei.
In the twenty-third year of Jian 'an (2 18), Liu Bei marched into Yangpingguan, but Xia led Zhang He and refused. Huang Xu defeated Chen Shi, and Zhang He was stationed in Shiguang, but Liu Bei attacked but failed, and the two sides remained deadlocked until the next year.
In the 24th year of Jian 'an (2 19), Liu Bei crossed Mianshui from Yangping and settled in Dingjun Mountain. Xia came to the competition with a great army. Liu Bei led more than ten thousand soldiers and captured Zhang He in ten nights. Zhang He led Sineitai to fight back, but Liu Bei couldn't beat him. Xia sent Zhang He to guard the eastern part of the antlers, while he led the elite to guard the southern part of the antlers. Liu Bei then stormed Zhang He with all his strength, and Zhang He was defeated. In the summer, the soldiers divided into two ways to save Zhang He, so Liu Bei adopted the strategy of burning horns in the valley. When fighting the fire and mending antlers in summer, General Huang Zhong was sent to take command. Say yes.
Xia is brave in combat and as strong as his brother, but he ignores the use of tactics. Cao Cao often warned him: "When you are timid, don't rely on courage." . Will be brave-oriented and act with wisdom; But Ren Yong knew that a person is the enemy's ear ",but he died in the end.
In July of the fourth year (243), Cao Fang paid homage to Xia and other late ministers in the ancestral hall of Cao family.
Xia is an excellent military general who is good at playing mobile warfare, so there was a saying in the army at that time, "Xia is a captain of the standard army, 500 on three days and 1000 on six days." Xia took part in all previous battles under the command of Cao Cao and was often sent to various places to suppress the rebellion. One of the most prominent battles was the battle against Han Sui. Most of Han Sui's troops were Bi and Qiang, and they were very elite. Xiahou Yuan made a long-distance attack, taking the rear of Han Sui. Han Sui came to the rescue, and he made a decisive decision. He defeated Han Sui in one fell swoop with an exhausted army that did not take advantage of quality and quantity. Since then, Han Sui has been completely defeated, waiting to be destroyed. Song Jian, who grew up in Hexi for more than 30 years, was eliminated. The leaders of all ethnic groups in Liangzhou were scared out of their wits when they saw Xia.
He is kind to soldiers and subordinates. When he defeats the enemy, he will distribute rations to the soldiers who lack food, which will revive the morale of the army. He is also very loyal. Cao Cao committed a crime in his hometown when he was young, and Xia took the fall for him. Later, Cao Cao rescued him from the predicament. Another year of famine, he gave up his son to support the orphan daughter of his dead brother.
