Biography[]
Xu Huang's career wasn't too impressive before he joined Cao Cao. He grew up in Hedong commandery, where he eventually became a minor official in the commandery administration. When the Han Dynasty began to collapse in the 190s, Xu Huang eventually joined up with Yang Feng, a former bandit turned warlord in service of Dong Zhuo. Under Yang Feng, he became a successful officer and a close confidant. Xu Huang convinced Yang Feng to join the plot to free the puppet Emperor Xian from the joint control of Li Jue and Guo Si after Dong Zhuo's assassination. When Xian was liberated by the conspirators, he fled east to the court of Cao Cao, accompanied by a vast entourage of imperial loyalists or simply men who opposed the two generals that succeeded Dong Zhuo.
Xu Huang convinced the reluctant Yang Feng to join Cao Cao. However, the two had a falling out, and Cao Cao attacked Yang Feng. Xu Huang betrayed his former master, defecting to Cao Cao's side. For his loyalty, Cao Cao made Xu Huang a proper general and tasked him with bandit hunting. He later fought against Lü Bu's coup and in the campaign against Liu Bei. Finally, Xu Huang was deployed against Yuan Shao to support Cao Cao's main army. Through a silver tongue or bigger stick diplomacy, Xu Huang convinced a good chunk of Yuan Shao's army to surrender when Shao and his family were on their last legs.
Xu Huang was present during Cao Cao's campaign against Liu Bei and Sun Quan to the south. After Cao Cao's defeat at the Battle of Red Cliffs, Huang stayed behind with Cao Ren to defend against any counterattacks. Soon after, Xu Huang got paired with Xiahou Yuan. The two generals were crucial for Cao Cao's conquest of the northwest and defence of the Yangtze river. Xu Huang was key in breaking the Siege of Fancheng, which led to a crushing defeat for the forces under Shu-Han's Guan Yu. Interestingly, this was a joint effort between Wei and Wu as Huang merely left Guan Yu's forces stranded, and it was Wu's general Lü Meng that delivered the killing blow on the trapped army.
After the death of Cao Cao, Huang continued his service under Cao Pi, becoming one of his most important generals. Huang would fight in Cao Pi's campaigns until his early death in 207, after which he was succeeded by Cao Rui. Cao Rui commanded Xu Huang to deal with yet another attack by the Kingdom of Wu. However, shortly after embarking on his campaign, Huang gave over his position to his second-in-command and retreated from the frontlines due to illness, dying soon after.
