Life

Xiahou Dun was born in the county of Qiao (譙, present day Bozhou, Anhui). At fourteen, Xiahou Dun killed a man who insulted his teacher. His fiery personality had been well-known ever since.

However, Xiahou Dun lost the battle, during which he was struck by a stray arrow in the left eye, Xiahou Dun in response famously ate his left eye.

Personality

Xiahou Dun was said to be a righteous but violent man, kind and loyal to friends and family, ruthless and merciless to his enemies. He was (and still is) considered Cao Cao's right-hand man and was said to often ride in the same carriage as his master, a privilege not even extended to Cao Cao's stalwart bodyguards Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Dian Wei (? – 197) was a warrior during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. ... Xu Chu was a warrior living in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms Period in ancient China. ...

As a general, however, his fiery persona was more often a hindrance than help. While his physical prowess was unquestioned (according to one story, Xiahou Dun once fought Lü Bu to a standstill), his military successes were few and far between. It was under his leadership that Cao Cao's forces fell to an ambush at the Battle of Bowang, costing thousands of men their lives when he pursued Liu Bei's forces into a gulley. A fire attack was launched, and in the chaos many of Cao Cao's elite troops were lost. On another occasion, Xiahou Dun was captured and held hostage in his own camp by traitors. He was rescued when his subordinates refused to negotiate and attacked, slaying his captors.

When he was made a governor, Xiahou Dun quickly found his calling. Besides damming up the Taishou River and encouraging people to plant paddy in the resulting inundated land, he was also said to have personally joined in the planting. He gained a reputation for generosity because of his habit of distributing wealth among his people and keeping very little (or, according to some stories, none) for himself. Because of this, he was well-loved by his people.

His hot-temper was well-known. Following the loss of his eye, he learnt that he was nicknamed "the Blind Xiahou" by others. He despised the name, and according to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms whenever he caught sight of his face in a mirror, he would rip the mirror out and smash it into the ground.

Even more famous that his temper was his loyalty to his cousin and kinsman Cao Cao. An anecdote goes that when Cao Cao was made King of Wei, he gave titles to his generals but gave Xiahou Dun a title from the Han Empire, rather than the land of Wei Cao Cao himself ruled. Xiahou Dun questioned Cao Cao about it, and the Wei ruler stated that great officers should belong to great lands, and that the land of Wei was not grand enough for an officer of Xiahou Dun's caliber. While touched, Xiahou Dun refused the Han title and requested a Wei title instead, demonstrating his loyalty to his master over his loyalty to the Han Emperor. Cáo Cāo (155 – March 15, 220) was a regional warlord and the last Chancellor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who rose to great power during its final years in ancient China. ...

Then Cao Xing secretly took aim and fired an arrow at Xiahou Dun. The arrow hit the target right in the left eye. With a cry, Xiahou Dun pulled out the arrow along with his eyeball. "Essence of my father, blood of my mother, I cannot throw this away," he exclaimed and swallowed the eye.

His spear firmly held up, Xiahou Dun then came straight for Cao Xing. With no time to react, Cao Xing was impaled right in the face and died beneath his nemesis' horse.
