Xiahou Hui 夏侯惠

According to the record of Xiahou Yuan in the Biographies of the Xiahou and Cao Clans in Records of Wei 9, Xiahou Yuan's eldest son was Xiahou Heng and a middle son was Xiahou Ba. Xiahou Yuan was attacked by Liu Bei and killed in battle in the first month of the 24th year of Jian'an (219). In the Huangchu era Xiahou Ba, and in the Taihe era Xiahou Ba's four younger brothers, were all granted the rank of Marquis Within the Passes. Xiahou Hui was the younger brother of Xiahou Ba's younger brother Xiahou Wei, and the elder brother of Xiahou He. Records, Wei 9 §24 · 27–28

In the Zhengshi era Xiahou Ba became Protector of the Army for the Campaign against Shu and General of the Right, but on hearing that Cao Shuang, who had always treated him generously, had been executed, he grew fearful for himself and fled to Shu. Because of Xiahou Yuan's past merits, Xiahou Ba's sons were pardoned and moved to Lelang Commandery. His elder brother Xiahou Wei rose to be Inspector of Yan Province, Xiahou Hui was Administrator of Le'an, and his younger brother Xiahou He was Intendant of Henan. Records, Wei 9 §27–28

According to the record of Liu Shao in Records of Wei 21, after Emperor Ming came to the throne Liu Shao served as Administrator of Chenliu and Chief Commandant of Cavalry and was then transferred to Cavalier Attendant-in-Ordinary. At that time an edict sought worthy men far and wide, and the Gentleman Cavalier Attendant Xiahou Hui recommended Liu Shao. Xiahou Hui said that the Attendant Liu Shao was deeply loyal and earnest in thought and embodied every kind of rule in his person; that men of genuine character admired his gentleness and rectitude, men of learning the precision of his calendrical calculations, men versed in law the exactness of his distinctions, and men of strategy his clear thought that reached into subtle matters; and that each of these judgments took up only the one branch that suited the speaker's own strengths.

Xiahou Hui went on to say that he had many times heard Liu Shao's pure conversation and read his earnest discourses, and had cherished them in his heart for years; such a man should assist in confidential affairs and offer counsel within the curtained tent, and was not one commonly found in the world. He then asked that if His Majesty would lend an ear and let Liu Shao attend at his side in times of leisure and give his utmost, virtuous words would reach the throne and grow brighter day by day.

At the end of the record of Liu Shao in Records of Wei 21, Chen Shou wrote that the Cavalier Attendant-in-Ordinary Su Lin of Chenliu, the Grand Master of Splendid Happiness Wei Dan of Jingzhao, the Administrator of Le'an Xiahou Hui of Qiao State, the Administrator of Chen Commandery Sun Gai of Rencheng, the Prefect of the Gentlemen of the Palace Du Zhi of Hedong and others also wrote writings and rhapsodies that were fairly widely transmitted in the world. Chen Shou's main text does not record the year of Xiahou Hui's death or his age. Records, Wei 21 §79Records, Wei 9 §28

In his assessment in Records of Wei 9, Chen Shou said that because the Xiahou and Cao clans had intermarried for generations, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others were valued in their time as close kin, and in his assessment in Records of Wei 21 he said that Liu Shao had read widely in learning and books, so that refinement and substance were in harmony in him. Neither assessment discusses Xiahou Hui separately. Records, Wei 9 §132Records, Wei 21 §99
