One.
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao rose to prominence as the most powerful prince, and all this was inseparable from the unwavering support of the Cao and Xiahou clans. Xiahou Yuan, an outstanding person in the Cao Wei clan, accompanied Cao Cao to fight in the Quartet when he was young, and successively served as the commander of the cavalry, Chen Liu, and the Taishou of the two counties of Yingchuan. Xiahou Yuan participated in many battles such as the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Weinan, and repeatedly quelled rebellions. However, in the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan was brutally beheaded by Huang Zhong, a general under Liu Bei, laying the foundation for Liu Bei to capture Hanzhong.
Two. What is particularly striking is that Xiahou Ba, the son of Xiahou Yuan, has hatred after learning of his father's unfortunate death. However, surprisingly, he eventually chose to surrender to Shu Han. Specifically, there is no exact record of Xiahouba's birth, but after learning that his father had been killed by Huang Zhong in 219 AD, he was furious and determined to avenge his father. In 220 AD, Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi ascended the throne and established Cao Wei. Xiahou Ba was named a partial general and given the title of Marquis of Guannei.
In 228 AD, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, made several northern expeditions to the Central Plains, which caused great trouble to Cao Wei. For this reason, in 230 AD, Cao Wei decided to fight back. Xiahou Ba was appointed as the vanguard, and although Huang Zhong was deceased, he still had a deep hatred for Shu Han, and led his army to quickly advance to Xingshiwei, where he remained calm and successfully defended, causing the Shu army to return in vain.
Three. 
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang died, marking the end of the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, and Xiahouba lost the opportunity to confront the Shu army. By 239 AD, Cao Fang succeeded to the throne and the general Cao Shuang took power, and Xiahou Ba was able to improve relations between Wei and ethnic minorities in the northwest. In 244 AD, Xiahou Ba became the protector of Shu and the right general, and the army of Longxi. He actively improved the relations between Wei and the ethnic minorities in the northwest, won their support, and replaced Xiahou Ru as the protector of the expedition to Shu.
In 248 AD, the Hu people of Liangzhou rebelled against Cao Wei, Jiang Wei went on a northern expedition, and Xiahou Ba pursued Jiang Wei and successfully hindered the Shu Hu army. However, Sima Yi's Gaopingling Rebellion completely changed Xiahouba's fate.
Four. In 249 AD, Sima Yi staged a mutiny to take control of Luoyang, and Xiahou Ba understood that the future of Wei was worrying and decided to surrender to Shu Han. The later lord Liu Chan not only sent people to greet Xiahou Ba, but also comforted him and pointed out that "your father was killed in the battle by himself, not by my ancestors." After Xiahou Ba came to Shu Han, he was reused and was canonized as a general of the chariot cavalry. During the Three Kingdoms period, the status of the chariot cavalry general was second only to the great general and the hussar general.
Since then, Xiahouba has participated in Jiang Wei's war against Wei many times. However, since 255 AD, there is no relevant record of Xiahouba in the history books, and his whereabouts are a mystery.
Epilogue. Xiahou Bazhi's surrender to Shu Han has achieved a legendary story of the Cao Wei clan. His choices may have come as a surprise, but the development of history is often full of drama and twists and turns. The war, betrayal and surrender experienced by Xiahouba have become a unique color in the history of the Three Kingdoms, which makes people full of curiosity and thinking about his fate.
Xiahou Ba's legendary experience is indeed a striking story in the history of the Three Kingdoms. From his father Xiahou Yuan's great military exploits for Cao Wei to Xiahou Ba's final choice to surrender to Shu Han, this series of events shows the complex relationships within Cao Wei's clan and the fate of individuals.
First of all, Xiahou Yuan's military exploits cannot be ignored, he repeatedly established military exploits in the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Weinan and other battles, and became a capable general under Cao Cao. However, in the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, Xiahou Yuan's achievements were ended by Huang Zhong's beheading, which contributed to Liu Bei's capture of Hanzhong. This incident became a huge blow to the Xiahou family, and also laid the groundwork for Xiahou Ba's surrender to Shu Han.
Xiahouba's choice was indeed unexpected. After learning of his father's misfortune, he shows a deep hatred for his enemies and is determined to avenge his father's death. However, with the passage of time, Cao Wei's internal turmoil, external threats, and personal maturity, Xiahouba gradually changed his position. Cao Wei's civil strife and Sima Yi's rise made Xiahou Ba realize that Wei was no longer sustainable and his fate would be threatened.
Xiahou Ba chose to surrender to Shu Han, perhaps out of consideration for his own survival, or because of his distrust of the Cao Wei court. Shu Han gave Xiahouba a high position after his surrender, which also reflected Liu Chan's ability to make use of talents. Xiahouba's surrender not only changed his personal fate, but also won Shu Han an experienced general.
However, Xiahouba's subsequent fate is full of mysteries. Since 255 A.D., there has been no record of Xiahouba in the history books, and his whereabouts have become a mystery in history. This kind of ending adds to the mystery of the character of Xiahouba, and also makes people have a lot of conjectures about his later life.
Overall, the story of Xiahouba is full of historical twists and turns, showing the interweaving of clan infighting and personal destiny during the Three Kingdoms period. Although his choice was surprising, it also left a deep mark on the long river of history and became a high-profile character in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
