Xiahou Jie 夏侯傑

In Chapter 42 of the Romance, after Zhao Yun crosses Changban Bridge with A Dou in his arms, the pursuing Wen Pin sees Zhang Fei sitting on his horse on the bridge with his serpent spear held crosswise, and dust rising behind the woods east of the bridge, and, suspecting an ambush, reins in his horse. Then Cao Ren, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Yue Jin, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Chu and others all arrive, but, fearing a stratagem of Zhuge Liang's, they line up in a single row west of the bridge and send word to Cao Cao. Romance, Ch. 42 §2–3 · 6–7

When Cao Cao comes up from the rear of the lines, Zhang Fei roars, 'I am Zhang Yide of Yan! Who dares come and fight me to the death?' Cao Cao has his canopy removed and tells those around him that he has heard from Guan Yu that amid an army of a million Zhang Fei takes the head of a senior general as easily as taking something out of a bag, and that he must not be faced lightly. When Zhang Fei roars again, Cao Cao is much inclined to withdraw. Romance, Ch. 42 §7–9

Seeing the formation of Cao Cao's rear army begin to move, Zhang Fei levels his serpent spear and roars again, 'You neither fight nor withdraw—what is it you mean to do!' Before his shout has even died away, Xiahou Jie, who is at Cao Cao's side, is so terrified that his liver and gall burst, and he topples headlong from his horse. Cao Cao at once turns his horse and flees, and all his troops and generals flee west together; those who throw away their spears and drop their helmets are past counting, and they trample one another. Romance, Ch. 42 §9–11

Cao Cao, fleeing with his cap and hairpin both fallen off, regains some of his composure only after Zhang Liao and Xu Chu catch up and seize his reins. In the Romance Xiahou Jie's name appears only in this one section and never again afterward. Romance, Ch. 42 §13 · 9
