Under Jiang Wei's arrangement, Xiahou Ba successfully arrived in Chengdu.

Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu, which can be said to be the highest general of Wei State surrendered to Shu since the founding of Shu Han. Before fleeing, Xiahou Ba had already served as the right general and the guardian of Shu, and was granted the title of Bochangting Hou. Since Xiahou Ba was the second son of Xiahou Yuan, his father's title was inherited by his elder brother Xiahou Heng. Among the six brothers, only Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba were awarded the title, and Xiahou Ba's title was entirely earned by him with his military merits.

Xiahou Ba not only had a high official position, but also had a prominent family background. Such a heavyweight figure surrendered to Shu, which naturally caused a great sensation among both Wei and Shu.

After hearing the news that Xiahou Ba returned to Shu, the emperor was very happy and specially summoned him to the palace to meet him. Moreover, Liu Chan did not summon him in the main hall, but specially arranged a family banquet in the harem. The only people who were with him were Empress Zhang, Crown Prince Liu Xuan and Liu Chan, as well as Liu Chan's sons, as well as the minister Zhang Shao and the minister Zhang Zun, and there were no other ministers.

The reason why Liu Chan welcomed Xiahou Ba with the family banquet was because the Xiahou family and the Zhang family had special in-laws.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Xiahou Ba's cousin Xiahou was caught in Qiao County, his hometown, when he was fetching firewood, he was met by Zhang Fei, who was separated from Liu Bei and occupied the mountain as the king. Zhang Fei forced him to marry him as the wife of the village. Later, Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei and moved to Yizhou, Jingzhou, and became the founding hero of Shu Han. He was appointed as the general of the ches and cavalry. His wife Xiahou also gave birth to two sons and two daughters for him. The eldest son Zhang Bao, the second son Zhang Shao, and the two daughters became the queens of Liu Chan one after another. Zhang Bao and Empress Jing Ai died early. Now Zhang Fei's children are the second son Zhang Shao and Empress Zhang.

In terms of seniority, Zhang Shao and Empress Zhang are Xiahou Ba's nephews and nieces. Even the later lord Liu Chan is also Xiahou Ba's nephew son-in-law. As for Zhang Bao's son Zhang Zun and Liu Chan's princes, they all have to call Xiahou Ba uncle.

With such a blood relationship, Liu Chan did not summon Xiahou Ba in the palace hall but gave him a family banquet, which was naturally reasonable.

But Xiahou Ba was flattered by this courtesy. Xiahou Ba knew that his cousin was captured by the thief, and did not know that the thief was Zhang Fei. At that time, Xiahou Ba was just a teenager who followed his father Xiahou Yuan to serve in the army. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's career had just improved a little, and he was facing a decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Xiahou Yuan was just a lieutenant, and he had no regard for his family. When he heard that his niece was captured by the thief, Xiahou Yuan once attracted hatred.

Xiahou Ba never expected that her cousin would have such an opportunity in her future life. Although she is no longer alive, her daughter is actually the queen of Shu. When her relatives meet, she naturally burst into tears.

Liu Chan was domineering to Xiahou: "It is a pity that the Lord died in the war, but it was not the fault of each of them at the beginning. Now that Zhongquan abandoned the secret and turned to the light, I will use it to give you the title of General of the Chariot and Cavalry, and together with General Jiang Wei of the Guard, he made great achievements in restoring the Han Dynasty."

Xiahou Yuan died in Dingjun Mountain in battle, which was indeed a barrier between the two sides. Liu Chan took the initiative to raise this matter without deliberately avoiding it, which made Xiahou Ba feel that the Lord of Shu was so frank, so naturally he became closer.

To be honest, the hatred of killing his father is, but Dai Tian and Xiahou Ba naturally had a huge hatred for Shu Kingdom, but as time went by, this hatred gradually became indifferent. What's more, Huang Zhong, the enemy who killed his father, had long passed away. Xiahou Ba had no goal of revenge, and his hatred gradually calmed down. Otherwise, he would not have fled to Shu Kingdom at this moment.

But what Xiahou Ba did not expect was that Liu Chan would actually entrust him with the position of General Cheqi. For an enemy general who had just surrendered, it would be a good thing to be able to establish a life in Shu Kingdom and live a life of all his life. However, Liu Chan directly appointed him as General Cheqi. This was the seat that Zhang Fei had sat in back then, which made Xiahou Ba very frightened. He thought that he might receive courtesy, but he did not expect that this courtesy would come so quickly and such a high treatment might not be achieved by his lifelong struggle in Wei Kingdom.

This made Xiahou Ba very excited. It seemed that his choice was really right. If he stayed in Wei, he would probably have died without a complete body. Although the process was very dangerous and he had experienced a lifetime of death, the ending was perfect, so perfect that Xiahou Ba would never dare to imagine in his dreams.

Of course, Liu Chan's emphasis on Xiahou Ba was not just to find a relative, but more importantly, Xiahou Ba's former identity was as the right general of Cao Wei and the guardian of Shu. Xiahou Ba had been stationed in Longyou for a long time and was very familiar with the geographical customs and military deployment there. After more than ten years of rest and recuperation, Shu Kingdom put the agenda on the Northern Expedition of Wei. As the main war faction, Jiang Wei was selected into the cabinet, which was a positive signal.

Although Jiang Wei was promoted to be the General of Guard, he did not stay in the Cheng-Du Commander-in-Chief, but was transferred to the Yinping line of Wudu. He was probably the farthest from the capital.

Xiahou Ba's surrender undoubtedly provided Jiang Wei with a guided help. Previously, Jiang Wei and Xiahou Ba had discussed the Longyou incident many times. Xiahou Ba's detailed information solved many of Jiang Wei's doubts, so in his memorial to Liu Chan, Jiang Wei mentioned the future arrangements for Xiahou Ba. Jiang Wei hoped that he could become his deputy and go to the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, it was almost decided by the court that the court appointed Xiahou Ba as General of the Cheqi and Cavalry, and it was not Liu Chan's whim.

During the meal, Empress Zhang personally toasted Xiahou Ba and held the ceremony of her son and nephew, which made Xiahou Ba extremely frightened and hurriedly refused. Although Empress Zhang was indeed his niece, she is now the queen and the mother of a country. As a minister, how dare Xiahou Ba receive this great gift?

Liu Chan didn't care and laughed at the prince Liu Xuan and other philosophers who were rude to Xiahou: "They are all your nephews." Then he ordered Liu Xuan and others to come forward to toast Xiahou Ba.

Liu Qi and others came forward to salute and called their uncle, which really made Xiahou Ba feel flattered.

Zhang Shao and Zhang Zun also went forward to salute and had a detailed conversation with Xiahou Ba. Xiahou Ba entered Sichuan alone, but at this moment he felt the warmth of home, which made him feel very moved.

Xiahou Ba just didn't know whether he fled to Shu and was safe or not. Whether his family members who remained in Luoyang were safe or not, were they persecuted by Sima Yi?

But at this moment he was already out of reach and could not take care of it anymore.
