徐晃 / Xu Huang (Cao general)

Overview

徐晃 / Xu Huang is introduced here as a 曹操-side general in the 官渡之战, distinct from 徐璜, the Huan-era eunuch with the same romanization. In the current bounded source, his role is the successful interception of 袁绍’s grain convoy under 韩猛.

Current Profile

The present evidence is compact. After 荀攸 advises that Han Meng is brave but careless, Cao Cao sends Xu Huang with 史涣 to strike the convoy. The operation defeats Han Meng and burns Yuan Shao’s baggage.

Xu Huang therefore enters the wiki not through a full military biography, but through a specific Guandu logistics action. The convoy strike matters because it precedes 许攸’s defection and the larger 乌巢 operation, showing Cao’s camp already looking for the supply route rather than only holding the front.

Key Characteristics

• Cao-side general in the Guandu logistics struggle.
• Paired with Shi Huan in the attack on Han Meng’s convoy.
• Source-bounded actor whose current role is tactical execution, not independent strategic planning.
• Disambiguation route for 徐晃, kept separate from the unrelated eunuch 徐璜.

Evidence

• Convoy assignment: Hanji 1048 says Cao Cao sends Xu Huang and Shi Huan after Xun You recommends attacking Han Meng.
• Tactical result: Hanji 1048 says the pair defeat Han Meng and burn Yuan Shao’s baggage.
• Campaign context: Hanji 1048 places the action during Cao Cao’s depleted-supply standoff at Guandu.

Qualifications

The current page is not a complete Xu Huang biography. It exists to prevent a route collision with the established 徐璜 eunuch page and to preserve the source-bounded Guandu convoy action for later expansion.

What Changed

• Created a disambiguated 徐晃 page for the Cao-side general.
• Recorded Xu Huang’s role in the attack on Han Meng’s grain convoy.

Relationships

• 徐璜 - separate same-romanization eunuch route from an earlier late-Han court context.
• 曹操 - commander who orders Xu Huang’s convoy strike.
• 荀攸 - strategist whose assessment creates the attack opportunity.
• 史涣 - paired officer in the convoy interception.
• 韩猛 - Yuan convoy commander defeated in the action.
• 官渡之战 - campaign setting for Xu Huang’s current source-bounded role.
