The Cao family and the Xiahou family are both wealthy families in Qiao County, Peiguo (Bozhou City, Anhui Province). However, since Cao Teng, the Cao family has prospered, and most of them have been high officials in the court and counties. Because Cao Teng was deeply trusted by the general Liang Ji and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, his adopted son Cao Song became a Taiwei; his younger brother Cao Baoguan was promoted to the Prefect of Yingchuan; Cao Baoguan's son Cao Chi was promoted to Shizhong and Changshui Xiaowei; another cousin Cao Ding was promoted to Shangshuling.
On the other hand, although the Xiahou family has a large family and a great business, none of their ancestors have ever been an official. They are only considered as indigenous landowners and are not listed in official status (officials are listed separately in other household registers).
In order to develop their power, the Xiahou family gradually moved closer to the Cao family. Although the Cao family relied on Cao Teng to become a eunuch, they had a good reputation among the scholar-bureaucrats and were not arrogant in their hometown. Therefore, the Xiahou family began to move closer to the Cao family. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, two brothers of the same clan (Xiahou Yuan was a younger brother of the Xiahou clan, so at least they did not have the same grandfather), both took a fancy to Cao Cao, who was highly regarded by the scholar-bureaucrats.
At that time, Cao Cao resigned and was at home. Xiahou Yu and Xiahou Yuan were friends with Cao Cao. Cao Cao had violated the law, and Xia Houyuan was imprisoned on Cao Cao's behalf. Cao Cao actively rescued Xia Houyuan. From then on, the relationship between the two families became closer. Xia Houyuan also married Cao Cao's sister-in-law, and the two became brothers-in-law.
Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu, and Xiahou Xi and Xiahou Yuan were the first to surrender. At that time, Cao Cao acted as General Fenwu, with Xiahou Yu as the commander-in-chief and Xiahou Yuan as the commander-in-chief of another department. And the two cousins Cao Ren and Cao Hong (Cao Cao, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are cousins of each other) are just Sima from another department.
When Cao Cao was defeated in Bianshui, it was Xiahou who accompanied him to Yangzhou to recruit troops. Later, Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou and immediately appointed Xiahou?, who had been promoted to the captain of Zhechong, to concurrently serve as the prefect of Dongjun that he had previously served. When he conquered Xuzhou, he appointed Xiahou? Lü Bu attacked Juancheng. Because Cao Cao's family members were in Juancheng, Xiahou immediately went to the rescue with a light army and repulsed Lü Bu, so that Lü Bu took the opportunity to attack Xiahou's baggage in Puyang.
Xiahou was not good at military affairs. Liu Bei was attacked by Lu Bu and Cao Cao sent him to rescue him. Not only did he fail to win, he was also shot and blinded in one eye. Therefore, after Cao Cao welcomed the Han Dynasty and presented the imperial capital, he appointed Xiahou as the governor of Chenliu and Jiyin, added General Wu, and granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang Township. Xiahou was very good at this job. He built water conservancy projects, led troops to farm, and survived natural disasters such as drought and locusts. Cao Cao was very satisfied with this and asked him to concurrently serve as Henan Yin as General Jianwu. Cao Cao pacified Hebei, and Xiahou was responsible for logistics support. After the North was pacified, he moved Xiahou to be General Fubo, and was granted the power to act expediently and informally. Cao Cao also married his daughter to Xiahou Hui, Xiahou Hui's second son. In this way, Cao Cao and Xiahou Hui became in-laws, and their status was more secure. Because Xiahou did an excellent job in logistics work, Cao Cao continued to increase the number of households in his fief, reaching 2,500 households in the twelfth year of Jian'an (207 AD). In the twentieth year of Jian'an (AD 215), Cao Cao conquered Sun Quan eastward. Return the troops, and use Xiahou Dong to supervise the twenty-sixth army (that is, the general in charge of the troops of the twenty-six generals accompanying the Eastern Expedition). In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (AD 219), Cao Cao rescued Jingzhou and garrisoned Mobei. He and Xiahou rode in the same carriage when they went out and slept on the same table when they lay down. The generals were unparalleled. Cao Pi succeeded the king of Wei and worshiped Xiahou as general. Because of the good relationship between Xiahou and his brother-in-law Cao Pi, Xiahou's clan prospered for a while before gradually declining.
Compared with his brother Xia Houyuan, Xia Houyuan was a very outstanding military general who was good at mobile warfare. Therefore, there was a saying in the army at that time, "Xia Houyuan, the captain of the Dian Army, has five hundred in three days. One thousand in six days." Xia Houyuan participated in all the battles commanded by Cao Cao, and was often assigned to quell rebellions in various places. The most outstanding battle was the Battle of Xinggu against Han Sui. Most of Han Sui's men were from the Di and Qiang tribes and were very elite. Xiahou Yuan made a long-distance attack and attacked Han Sui's rear. Han Sui came to rescue him and made a decisive decision. He defeated Han Sui in one fell swoop with a tired army that had no superiority in quality or quantity. Han Sui was completely defeated and was waiting to be annihilated. He also eliminated Song Jian, who had grown up in Hexi for more than 30 years. The chiefs and chiefs of all the tribes in Liangzhou were frightened when they saw Xia Houyuan. After Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong, he used Xia Houyuan to guard Hanzhong. He died in the battle with Liu Bei for Hanzhong. Xia Houyuan's eldest son Xia Houheng married Cao Caotang's niece and was related by marriage to the Cao family.
To sum up, the reason why Xia Houyi and Xia Houyuan received important tasks from Cao Cao was not only because of their in-law relationship and fellow villager relationship (in ancient times, fellow villager relationship was considered a very important interpersonal relationship, and it was very important for them to do so. valued by people), but also because they themselves have considerable political or military talents.
