1 Introduction
Xiahou Ba

Wikipedia

 
Xiahou Ba was a military commander of the Three Kingdoms state of Wei. He was from one of the leading military families at the time, but fled to the rival state of Shu due to political instability at the capital Luoyang.

Xiahou Ba's father was the great Wei general Xiahou Yuan and his mother was a sister-in-law of the dynastic founder Cao Cao. Xiahou Yuan had fought with Cao Cao since the start of the civil wars and was one of the most trusted of Cao's lieutenants. There is some suggestion that he may have been a blood relative of Cao Cao. After Xiahou Yuan was killed at Mount Dingjun in 219 AD, most of his troops were placed under the command of his five sons.

In 220, Xiahou Yuan's eldest son Xiahou Heng was given his own fiefdom, so Xiahou Ba - being the second son - succeeded to his father's hereditary title with a stipend of tax revenues from eight hundred households. In the 240s he became General of the Right and Marquis of Bochangting and was a known associate of Cao Shuang. After a coup d'etat by Sima Yi against Cao Shuang, Xiahou Ba fled to the rival state of Shu. The imperial court of Wei pardoned Xiahou Ba's sons on account of Xiahou Yuan's role in the founding of the empire. Instead they were exiled to Lelang, in present day North Korea.
