Biography[]

Xia Zhao was a general and official under Gao Gan. He fought under Gao Gan against Wei in 200 but ultimately surrendered to Cao Cao alongside his master in 203. When Gao Gan rebelled against Cao Cao in 205, Gan traveled north to seek allies. While he was gone, he tasked Xia Zhao, alongside Deng Sheng to defend Huguan county. When Cao Cao showed up himself in 206 with overwhelming forces, Zhao and Sheng were put under a three-month-long siege, ending with both generals being killed by Cao Cao's forces.
