Xiahou Wei

Encyclopedia : X : XI : XIA : Xiahou Wei

Xiahou Wei (? – ?) was an officer of the Wei during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China.

The second son of Xiahou Yuan, and trained as a horse archer like his father, he would succeed to the head of Xiahou Yuan's troops after the Battle of Mount Dingjun. Xiahou Wei was at the forefront with his brother Xiahou Ba at the Battle of Wu Zhang Plains in 234. He was also active in the suppression of Gongsun Yuan, the governor of Liaodong.

Unlike Xiahou Ba, he did not defect to the Shu Han after the coup d'etat of Sima Yi, though from this point onwards, his whereabouts are not recorded.
