夏侯渊 / Xiahou Yuan

Overview

夏侯渊 / Xiahou Yuan enters the wiki through Hanji 1054 as a Cao-side commander sent with 张辽 to besiege 昌豨 in Donghai.

Current Profile

The current evidence is narrow. Xiahou Yuan functions as the co-commander and operational frame for the siege, while Zhang Liao receives the episode’s detailed attention as the officer who reads Chang Xi’s wavering and conducts the surrender persuasion. Xiahou Yuan therefore anchors Cao Cao’s continued eastern pacification pressure rather than a full independent biography.

Key Characteristics

• Cao-side military commander in the Donghai operation against Chang Xi.
• Paired with Zhang Liao in the siege force.
• Provides the command setting in which Zhang Liao’s psychological observation and negotiation become possible.
• Currently source-bounded to the Chang Xi operation, not yet developed as a wider career page.

Evidence

• Siege assignment: Hanji 1054 says Cao Cao sends Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao with troops to Donghai to besiege Chang Xi.
• Counsel scene: Hanji 1054 has Zhang Liao explain to Xiahou Yuan why Chang Xi’s behavior suggests hesitation and why persuasion may work.

Qualifications

Hanji 1054 does not provide Xiahou Yuan’s full career, kinship placement, title history, or later campaigns. This page should remain compact until later sources add independent evidence.

What Changed

• Created the page as the Cao-side co-commander in the Chang Xi siege branch.

Relationships

• 曹操 - ruler who sends Xiahou Yuan on the Donghai operation.
• 张辽 - co-commander whose persuasion dominates the episode’s detailed account.
• 昌豨 - besieged local armed leader.
• 武力背书式劝降 - concept whose Hanji 1054 case occurs inside Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao’s siege pressure.
