Xiahou Shang can be said to be the most powerful figure in the Xiahou family today.
He is the nephew of Xiahou Yuan.
Historically, Xiahou Shang was a famous figure who succeeded Cao Ren after Cao Ren's death.
In history, the cause of Xiahou Shang's death was depression in the end.
Xiahou Shang's wife was the daughter of the Cao family.
This was considered a political marriage.
Therefore, the relationship between Xiahou Shang and his wife was not very good, and Xia Houshang loved her very much.
My own concubine.
And Xiahou Shang's wife was not someone to be trifled with.
Seeing that although she was Xiahou Shang's wife, she was acting like a widow.
In the end, she felt unhappy and directly told her clan brother about the matter.
Cao Pi, Emperor of the Wei Dynasty.
When Cao Pi found out about this, he was of course very angry, thinking that Xiahou Shang didn't give him the respect of the Cao family.
However, Xiahou Shang was an important official in the court, and Cao Piye was embarrassed to attack him, so he secretly sent someone to kill Xiahou Shang.
The beloved concubine died.
Xia Houshang knew that the woman he loved the most was sentenced to death by his own Emperor Wei, and he was immediately unhappy.
You, Cao Pi, are a man.
If you have the ability to come after me, why should you sacrifice my most beloved woman to death?
Do you, Cao Pi, have a problem with me, Xia Houshang?
In the end, Xia Houshang in history was depressed because of this incident and died in front of Cao Pi.
He could be regarded as a seed of infatuation and died for love.
However, Xiahou Shang did better in this life and at least lived until Cao Pi died.
However, human lifespan is really determined by God.
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Shang died before Cao Rui succeeded to the throne for one year.
When Cao Rui heard the news, his expression suddenly became heavy.
Although she is the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, her power is still restricted by Cao Pi's minister Tuogu.
However, Cao Rui also understands Cao Pi's thoughts.
Now, the purpose of setting up six ministers Tuogu is to let them restrict each other, but now she has passed away.
Such restrictions will inevitably be broken.
Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui.
When he heard the news of Xia Houshang's death, he still felt a little regretful.
After all, he was less than forty years old now, so he could be said to have died young.
But after the regret, Bai Ren was more happy.
After all, Now if he wants to dominate Chao Gang, these thorns in his side must at least be loosened or removed.
"Taiwei, now in the land of Jingzhou, thanks to the presence of General Xiahou Shang, who conquered the south, now that Xiahou Shang has passed away, the Taiwei thinks who is the most appropriate person to send to guard the land of Jingzhou."
Cao Rui's expression turned a little extremely at this time.
He became heavy, looked at Bai Ren sitting on the main seat, and asked him in a low tone.
After hearing what Cao Rui said, Bai Ren looked a little stunned.
He found that Cao Rui, who was sitting on the seat at this time, also called him his official title from foster father to his official title.
It seemed that Cao Rui became a little serious.
Bai Ren thought for a moment that Zhuge Jin was guarding Jingzhou now.
Although he seemed to be passable in terms of ability, he did not have many military achievements.
He did not need to send a particularly capable person to resist Zhuge Jin.
"I think one of the two brothers Xiahouba or Xiahouwei can take on this important task and go to Jingzhou to guard it."
Bai Ren thought for a while, and finally replied to Cao Rui in front of him in a calm tone.

Cao Rui was slightly surprised after hearing what Bai Ren said.
He originally thought that Bai Ren would recommend his son Bai Rong or his disciple Hao Zhao, but unexpectedly he recommended Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei, both of the Xiahou family.
See He really looks like he is judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.
"In that case, I will appoint Xiahou Ba as General Zhennan and Xiahou Yuan as General Pingnan, and ask them both to go to Jingzhou immediately to guard Jingzhou."
Cao Rui looked at him sitting on the main seat with a calm expression at this time, with a smile on his lips.
Bai Ren, who was wearing a faint smile, said to Bai Ren in a calm tone.
"But this Meng Da is a tough one.
Your Majesty, I'm afraid the two brothers Xiahou Ba and Xia Houwei are no match for him."
Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui and gently touched his beard, with a heavy look in the corner of his eyes.
He said with a serious tone to Cao Rui, who was sitting on the seat next to him.
"Well, I plan to send former general Xu Huang to pacify Shangyong.
What does the captain think?"
After hearing what Bai Ren said, Cao Rui looked at the other party's serious look and said to Bai Ren in a soft tone.
"Former General Xu Huang is proficient in the art of war and is good at commanding troops.
He is a good candidate.
Your Majesty sends him there, and he will definitely be able to conquer Shangyong."
After hearing Cao Rui's words, Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui with a heavy look, and then his expression He nodded calmly.
So the next day, the two brothers Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Wei were there.
Under the order of the Emperor of Wei, he hurriedly left Luoyang and went to Xiangyang to take up his post.
Xu Huang, with his 50,000 soldiers and horses, planned to bypass Xiangyang and go directly to Shangyong, preparing to take the opportunity to attack Shangyong and return Shangyong to the control of Wei State.
In Shangyong City, Meng Da, the local emperor of Shangyong area, lived a very cool life.
After betraying Liu Bei and taking refuge with Cao Pi, Cao Pi gave Meng Da a job in Shangyong in order to subdue him.
In terms of regional rights, Mengda is now simply like the local emperor in this region.
"General, there is a letter from someone over in Hanzhong."
At this moment, a soldier came to Meng Da in a hurry and said to Meng Da calmly.
Meng Da asked the guard beside him to take the letter, opened it carefully, and looked at the signature of the letter.
At this time, Meng Da's expression became a little strange.
The person who wrote this letter to him was not her good friend Li Yan, but Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
At this time, Meng Da carefully read the letter in his hand, and found that in the letter in his hand, Zhuge Liang hoped that Meng Da would remember the feelings of Fazheng and Zhang Song, leave the arms of Cao Wei, join the Shu Han, and use the official position of Chariot General to come.
Attracting Meng Da.
Meng Da saw Zhuge Liang using the official position of Chariot General to attract him, and a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Although Meng Da is said to be a local emperor in the Shangyong area, Meng Da's official position is very low in the entire Cao Wei. .
General Jiangong and Governor Shangyong, one is a useless general, and the other is the governor of a small area.
This is the last place Mengda wants to see.
Meng Da is a master who believes in his own abilities and is also a very proud person.
He believes that his abilities are no worse than those of Zhuge Liang and Bai Ren, but he just lacks an opportunity to show it to the world.
"Now that Zhuge Liang has written to me, should I seek refuge with the Shu Han?"
Meng Da said in a low voice with only the letter in his hand, looking calmly out of the window.
"Go and call Brother Shen Dan."
Meng Da hesitated for a long time, not even making a decision himself.
Finally, he calmly said to the guard on the side, asking him to call his confidants, brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi.
Shen Dan and Shen Yi received the order at this time and came to Meng Da's room cautiously.
Seeing Meng Da's hesitant expression, they asked Meng Da in a low tone: "General, what can I do?"
"Now Zhuge Liang has written to me, promising me a high official and a good salary, and wants me to join the Shu Han.
What do you two think I should do now?"

Meng Da looked at the two people in front of him calmly at this time, and his tone was somewhat asked quietly.
After hearing such words, the two brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi suddenly looked serious.
Shen Yi originally wanted to stand up and say something, but was pulled over by his brother.
Shen Yi turned back to look at Shen Dan, and saw a calm smile on Shen Dan's lips, and then said in a calm tone to Meng Da who was sitting on the main seat: "We are all based on the general's ideas now.
General What do we want to do?
The two of us are working together."
"In this case, I will reply to Zhuge Liang and ask him to make preparations in advance so as not to panic and cause Cao Wei to find out."
Meng Da thought for a while after listening to what the two brothers said, and finally chose to join the Shu Han.
So he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Chengdu immediately.
The two brothers slowly left Meng Da's mansion.
Looking at the mansion of Shangyong Prefect, the two brothers looked at each other, and then a cold smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
In Chengdu City, Zhuge Liang got Meng Da's letter, and his face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
Then he quickly summoned his staff and began to prepare to discuss how to recapture Shangyong City
