Wen Hu

Wen Hu is one of the most famous officers of Wei and the son of Wen Qin. Ever since Cao Cao begun his conquest at Dingtao and Puyang, he has helped support him and his father in their advances. In 204 AD, he joined with Wen Qin at Wan Castle after Cao Cao was nearly assassinated by Zhang Xiu's Forces.

In 210 AD he helped his father during the Battle of Hefei, defeating many soldiers in Sun Jing's Forces and making a heavy name for himself. When he and his father were notified of Cao Cao's death at the Battle of Xiapi, they soon sought to hold the line at Hefei against Sun Jing and his men for as long as they can. When Wen Qin passed away, Wen Hu held this line for many months with very few soldiers, until eventually Cao Annin order him and his men to retreat to Xu Province and give up Hefei.

During the Conflict at Guandu, when Lu Kang of Sun Jing's army Invaded Xuchang, he was one of the officers to lead the relief force for Xun Xian and was rewarded when Lu Kang finally fell back. During the Battle of Chibi, he was beaten back in trying to prevent Zhugeshi's plans and eventually had to withdraw back east.

When Cao Zhi rebelled against Cao Xue and they clashed, Wen Hu did not seek to join in battle with them, but instead he began to increase the defense and amount of soldiers around him in Xiapi, even establishing fake soldiers used as decoys in order to confuse scouts from Sun Jing to making him think that he was planning an invasion. He did this as to keep Sun Jing or Liu Wuchan from finding out about the civil war going on between the Cao Family. When Cao Xue eventually won, he was rewarded greatly for his efforts.

Soon when Liu Wuchan rose to power and Cao Xue conquered the west, he was a Grand General under Wei. He led many invasions and attacks against the forces of Wu in the southeast and clashed many times with Lu Kang and Lifui, not allowing them to gain ground against Wei and doing his best to gain ground in Wu. When Wei and Wu allied against Shu, he was one of the officers to speak out against this, but was forced to remain peaceful in the east. After the Battle at Fan Castle and Yiling, he continued his eastern campaign.

After Cao Xue passed, Wen Hu lived through the reigns of Cao Hang, Cao Ai, and even through Cao Mao. He attempted to decrease the power that Sima Su and Sima Song were seizing in Wei but his efforts remained fruitless, and was nearly assassinated by officers under the Sima Clan. He avoided this and also aided officers such as Wang Guang and Du Xi who rebelled to defeat the Sima. Eventually he was forced to remain in the east and defend against Wu. He passed away in 266, dissatisfied as the kingdom he helped to build had been taken over by Sima Song.
