Biography[]
Xiahou Dun was the cousin of Cao Cao, and the brother of Xiahou Yuan. In AD 184, he served under Cao Cao during the Yellow Turban Rebellion as one of his sub-generals at the battles at Xiapi Castle and Henan-Yin. He gained experience and renown for his prowess in battle. He later saved Cao Cao from a trap by Dong Zhuo, where he invited Cao Cao to Luoyang to try and kill him. In response, Cao Cao formed the Alliance against Dong Zhuo and Xiahou Dun and Yuan joined it. At Hu Lao Gate in AD 191, he helped to participate in the extermination of Dong Zhuo. That same year, the coalition disbanded and he remained with Cao Cao, who unlike all of the other warlords, did not take advantage and kill other ones, but rather consolidated his control over his territory.
