Life of the characters

Early experience

Xu Huang was born in Yang county of Hedong county. He used to be a county official of Hedong county. He was promoted to the rank of riding captain because of his contribution to fighting against the bandits.

In 1922, Wang Yun and Lv Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo attacked Chang'an City and killed Wang Yun and others with Li Xi and Guo Si. Later, he conflicted with each other and slaughtered them in Chang'an. Xu Huang persuaded Yang Feng to escort Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty to Luoyang. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty crossed the river to Anyi (the north of Xixia County today), Xu Huang was granted the title of Duting marquis.

Follow Cao ZhengZhan

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang under the protection of the remaining Imperial officials, such as Hanoi's Taishou Zhang Yang and Xingyi General Yang Feng.

After that, Yang Feng was worshipped as a general of chariots and stationed in Daliang. When Xu Huang saw that the fight between Han Xian, the general and the commander of Sili, and Dong Cheng, the general of Wei was becoming increasingly fierce, he urged Yang Feng to submit to Cao Cao. Yang Feng decided to follow Xu Huang's advice.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), when Cao Cao was protecting Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and wanted to move his capital to Xu county, Yang Feng changed his mind to belong to Cao Cao again under the instigation of Han Xian, and sent troops to rob and drive with Han Xian. Yang fengzai Liang (now Kaifeng) was defeated by Cao Jun. Xu Huang took the opportunity to join Cao Cao. From then on, he became a loyal General of Cao Cao, followed him to the north and south, and made many contributions to the establishment of Cao Wei. Cao Cao divided his troops to Xu Huang and sent him to attack the two places of Juan and Yuanwu. He followed Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu and surrender his generals zhao shu and Li Zou. Later, he and Shi Huan killed Sui Gu in Hanoi.

Guandu shows its power

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Xu Huang and Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei who took refuge with Yuan Shao in the battle of Xuzhou.

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yan Liang with Zhang Liao and Guan Yu as pioneers. Xu Huang also took part in the expedition and conquered Baima (now the northeast of Huaxian County, Henan Province).

Later, when Cao's army entered Yanjin (now Yanjin north of Henan Province), Cao Cao used Xunyou's tactics to lure the army into chaos. Xu Huang and others immediately attacked and defeated Wen Chou here. Therefore, Xu Huang was worshipped as a partial general.

Later, he and Cao Hongji (Jueyin) wished each other arms and broke them. In September, Cao Cao sent out troops to fight against Yuan Shao. He was defeated and returned to the battlefield. At that time, Yuan Shao sent thousands of carts of grain and grass to Guandu. Counsellor Xun you said to Cao Cao, "Yuan Shao's grain truck will arrive overnight. Han Yong, the general who escorted the grain and grass, is fierce but belittles the enemy. He can be defeated by attacking.". Cao Cao asked, "who can undertake this important task?" Xun you said, "Xu Huang can." So Cao Cao sent Xu Huang and Shi Huan with thousands of cavalry to attack Han Meng and cut and burn his baggage in Guchi (now northwest of Zhengzhou). In this battle, Xu Huang made the greatest contribution and was granted the title of Duting marquis.

Deep insight

In February of the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao took advantage of the conflict between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang after Yuan Shao's death to attack Jizhou.

Cao Cao encircles Ye City and breaks Handan. Yi Yang orders Han fan to feign surrender and defend himself. Cao Cao sends Xu Huang to attack. Xu Huang faces the city and writes a letter to Han fan. He shoots an arrow into the city. Chen Ming tells Han fan to surrender. After being convinced, Han Fan changed his mind and decided to surrender with the whole city.

Xu Huang advised Cao Cao: "now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have not been defeated, and the cities that have not been captured are waiting for news. If Yi Yang is destroyed today, those cities will defend themselves tomorrow, and Hebei will not have a peaceful day. I ask you to send Yi Yang to the cities, so that they will be obedient. " Cao Cao took his advice and made Han Fan a Marquis of the Guan Dynasty. Then, he received Liang Qi from Shexian county (now the northwest of Shexian County in Hebei Province), and also conferred the title of Marquis of Guannei. Cao Cao's ability to quickly remove the wings of Yecheng, conquer Yecheng and win Yizhou is inseparable from his listening to Xu Huang's suggestion.

Immediately, Xu Huang attacked Maocheng (now Southeast of Shexian County in Hebei Province), setting up an ambush to defeat yuan Jun and break through three villages. After that, Yuan Tan was killed by Cao Cao in Nanpi (now Nanpi, Hebei Province). Xu Huang calms down the plain traitors again. In 207, Xu Huang followed Cao Cao in his northern expedition to Wuhuan. In the battle of Bailang mountain, he was under the command of Zhang Liao and defeated the enemy. More than 10 people were killed in the battle. Cao Cao finally leveled Wuhuan and eradicated the remnants of yuan family. Xu Huang was named general baihengye for his meritorious service.

In July of the 13th year of Jian'an (208), after Cao Cao basically unified the north, more than 100000 Pro unification troops marched south to Jingzhou, intending to annex Jiangnan and unify the world. Xu Huang went to Jingzhou with Cao Cao, and Liu Cong, the herdsman of Jingzhou, surrendered. Xu Huang did not live in Fancheng. Later, Cao Cao was defeated by sun and Liu in the battle of Chibi. The next year, Xu Huang leveled off the enemies in Zhonglu, Linju and Yicheng. After fighting Guan Yu with man Chong in Han and Jin Dynasties, Xu Huang went to Jiangling to join Cao Ren, the general of the southern expedition, and beat Wu general Zhou Yu with Cao Ren in Jiangling.

To the West

In the 15th year of Jian'an (210), Xu Huang went to Taiyuan with Xia Houyuan to fight the rebellion, conquer Daling and kill Shang Yao.

In the 16th year of Jian'an (211), ten allied forces headed by Ma Chao and Han Sui gathered more than 100000 troops to defend Tongguan against Cao. Cao Cao sent troops to enter Guanzhong, and Xu Huang was ordered to garrison fenyin to pacify Hedong. When Cao Cao arrived at Tongguan, he was blocked by Ma Chao in the middle of the pass and could not move forward. Cao Cao asked Ji Yu Huang, Xu Huang said: "you have brought soldiers here, and the enemy will no longer divide forces to guard Osaka. We can see that they lack strategy. Please give me a good team to cross pubanjin, to be the leader of the army, to cut off the enemy's back, and then we can catch them. " Cao Cao Zhi agreed to this, and sent Xu Huang and Zhu Ling to lead 4000 elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River from pubanjin (now the Yellow River ferry between Yongji in Shanxi Province and Dali in Shaanxi Province). The position has not yet been built. Liang Xing, the thief, led more than 5000 people to attack Xu Huang at night. Xu Huang beat him away and then set up the bridgehead position.

In August, Cao Jun crossed the river. In September, Cao Cao adopted Jia Xu's stratagem, alienated Ma Chao and Han Sui, and finally defeated the Guanzhong army and killed Cheng Yi and Li Kan. Ma Chao and Han then fled to Liangzhou (now Gansu and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region).

In the 17th year of Jian'an (212), Cao Cao sent Xu Huang and Xia Houyuan to pacify Pei MI and Pei Zhu Di and join forces in Anding. After Cao Cao returned to ye, he sent Xu Huang to fight with Xia Houyuan (today's Yan'an area in Shaanxi Province) and Xia Yangyu to kill Liang Xing and reduce more than 3000 households.

In July of 215, the 20th year of Jian'an, Xu Huang followed Cao Cao to attack Zhang Lu, and Xu Huang was promoted to general Pingkou. Soon after, Zhang Shunzhi, general Xie, surrounded and attacked more than 30 villages, including Chen Fu. In the same month, Cao Cao returned to ye and served as the general of Xia Houyuan. He led Xu Huang and Zhang Ying to garrison Yangpingguan (now Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province). In order to refuse Liu Bei, he returned to Ye City by himself.

In 218, the 23rd year of Jian'an, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong. In April, the Shu army entered Yangping pass. Xia Houyuan, Zhang Ying and Xu Huang led the troops to block. Liu Bei sent more than ten battalions, including Chen Shi, to attack maming Pavilion (now Guangyuan North of Sichuan Province), in an attempt to cut off the rear passage of Cao's army, which was defeated by Xu Huang. Cao Cao was very happy when he heard that, he gave Xu Huang a talisman to command the army, and ordered: "this attic road is the throat of Hanzhong. Liu Bei wants to cut off internal and external contact and seize Hanzhong. The general smashed Liu Bei's plan in one fell swoop. It's really one of the masterpieces! "

Later, when Xia Houyuan died in battle, Cao Cao went to Hanzhong and withdrew the remaining troops.

In June 219, after Liu Bei took Hanzhong, he sent Mengda and Liu Feng to capture Fangling and Shangyong in the east of Hanzhong county. The main force of Wei army is on the way back to the Central Plains from Hanzhong. Guan Yu, the former general of Shu who guarded Jingzhou, seized the opportunity to stay in Nanjun (governing Jiangling, now Jiangling in Hubei Province), MI Fang, the prefect, guarded Jiangling, Fu Shiren, the general, guarded Gongan (now northwest of Gongan in Hubei Province), and led the main force to attack Jingxiang (governing Xinye in weijingzhou, now Xinye in Henan Province; governing Xiangyang in Xiangyang County, now Xiangfan in Hubei Province).

Extricate Fancheng

At that time, general Cao Ren was stationed in Fancheng (now Xiangfan, Hubei), general LV Chang was stationed in Xiangyang, and general Yu Jin and general pound were stationed in the north of Fancheng. Xu Huang (then general Pingkou) was stationed in Wan (now Nanyang City, Henan Province) to assist Cao Ren in his expedition against Guan Yu. In August, it rained heavily for more than ten days, and the Han River surged. The natural disaster of "Han River overflowing, harming people" occurred in the Han River Basin. All the seven armies of Yujin were submerged by the flood. Guan Yu took the opportunity to lead the water army to attack, Yu Jin was forced to surrender, and pound was captured and killed. Taking advantage of the victory, Guan Yu besieged Fancheng and surrounded Xiangyang with a troop. At this time, Hu Xiu, the governor of Wei Jingzhou, Fu Fang, the prefect of Nanxiang (Zhinan Township, now Southeast Xichuan of Henan Province), all fell to Guan Yu, and sun Lang, a native of Luhun (now northeast Songxian County of Henan Province), also killed officials and responded to Guan Yu. Guan Yu's voice was "powerful in China".

Cao Cao believed that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in Xudu and was close to thieves,
