During the Three Kingdoms period, the Cao Wei camp had a number of highly regarded generals, among which Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang and others were regarded as close ministers, and they occupied an important position in the current situation with their outstanding military talents and outstanding military exploits.
Zhang Liao and Le Jin were among the five good generals with their achievements in the east and west, and Hu Zun, Zhao Zhao, Wen Qin and others won many victories on the battlefield and made outstanding achievements. And Xu Chu and Pang De, with their brave and fearless fighting style, shocked the enemy in the army.
However, despite the great achievements of these generals, there are many unknown people among their descendants, such as Cao Tai, Zhang Hu, Xiahou Nan and others. There were also some generals such as Le Qi and Xu Yi who were killed in accidents, while Hu Lie and Xianhong were killed in the border because of Guolie. Cao Shuang, Xiahou Xuan, Wen Yang and others were punished, Xiahou Ba was in a situation of displacement, and Pang Hui was assassinated because of personal vendetta. This situation shows that even after the gate, it may not be able to save the life of the whole family, and life is full of unpredictable variables.
1, Cao Ren's son Cao Tai
Cao Tai, born in Bozhou, Anhui Province, is the eldest son of the great Sima Cao Ren. In the Battle of Misu, Cao Ren led the Middle Route Army to attack Wu along with the other two Wei armies. At that time, Wu general Zhu Huan adopted an empty city strategy, and Cao Tai rashly attacked the army, but was attacked and routed by Zhu Huan. This fiasco caused Cao Tai to lose his troops.
Later, Cao Tai was named Marquis of Chen, the official to the general of Zhendong, and was given a false festival, and then he was named Marquis of Ningling.
2, Xiahou Mao, the son of Xiahou Xuan
Xiahou Nan was born in Bozhou, Anhui Province, and was the son of the general Xiahoudun. When he was young, he had a close relationship with Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, and later married Princess Qinghe and served as a waiter. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Xiahou Nan was appointed as the general of Anxi, was appointed as a liehou, and was responsible for commanding the Guanzhong region and garrisoning Chang'an.
However, Xiahou Nan had a timid temperament, lacked martial arts, had many indulgent behaviors, was estranged from Princess Qinghe, and was even framed by others. Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming originally planned to execute him, but Changshui Lieutenant Duan acquiesced to the discord between Xiahou Nan and his wife, which was the result of being framed, and Xiahou Xuan had made a lot of contributions to the country, so he suggested thinking twice. As a result, Xiahou was spared.
In 228, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, launched the Northern Expedition, and Emperor Wei Ming sent troops to the west, recalled Xiahou Nan to the court, and appointed him as Shangshu, and later promoted to general of Zhendong.

However, after the outbreak of the Gaopingling Rebellion, Cao Shuang was killed by his entire family. Xiahou Ba knew that the disaster would affect his body, and he was panicked in his heart, so he chose to flee to Shu Han. Under the favor of Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, Xiahou Ba was appointed as the general of the chariot cavalry. He accompanied the general Jiang Wei on the Northern Expedition and defeated the Wei army in Zhaoxi in one fell swoop, but later died in Shu. As a member of the Shun Shu Han, he also got the nickname. There are very few people who have received the nickname in the history of Shu Han, and Xiahou Ba was able to obtain the nickname, which shows the favor of the queen for him.

He was known for his rigorous style, and gradually rose through the ranks of officialdom, successively serving as a free-hand cavalry attendant, a general of the military guard, and was named a mausoleum marquis. Emperor Wei Ming entrusted Gu to assist the young emperor, and Cao Shuang was named a general, responsible for commanding the Chinese and foreign military, and was named the Marquis of Wu'an. His power overshadowed the government and the opposition, and his reputation was far and wide, but when he and Xiahou Xing led an army to attack Shu, they were defeated and lost, and his reputation was greatly damaged. This also once again confirms the truth that "the small position is high, and the weight is in danger".
In 249, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, Cao Shuang was helpless, and was finally accused of rebellion, he was killed along with his brothers, and suffered the scourge of the three clans.
