Xu Chu,(unkown period), Styled Zhong Kang, from Qiao County.
Wei's top general, together with Dian Wei, are in charge of the Tiger Guards, the personal vanguard of Cao Cao. He was six foot tall, extremely muscular, having very intimidating features. He was extremely valiant, nicknamed the "Raging Tiger" by Cao Cao. He dueled with Ma Chao for more than 200 rounds and the fight ended up in a draw. He enjoyed a close relationship with his lord, Cao Cao, and was posthumously titled the Courageous Lord.

wow 200 rounds, that sounds like a lot... I have noticed that many heroes have two names? For example Cao Cao is also called Meng De, and Zhuge Liang Kong Ming.

I'm curious, why is this?

@aoneko that is the tradition of china's name... Xu is the last name and Chu is the First name...

Xiahou Cao was Cao Cao's first name I believe aswell.

Just asked wife.... ( from Hong Kong) she said that from what she can remember from the history of 3 Kingdoms... they are like 'Nick Names'...

So Meng De becomes a Nick Name of 'Cao Cao' not sure what Cao means tho....

Cao Cao
or Ts'ao Ts'ao

(born AD 155, Boxian, China—died 220, Luoyang) Chinese general who, at the end of the Han dynasty, assumed imperial prerogatives. Cao Cao rose to prominence when he suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion in the last years of the Han. Though the rebellion was suppressed, the dynasty was irreparably weakened, and in the ensuing chaos Cao Cao occupied the strategic northern section of China around the capital of Luoyang. His domain was known as the kingdom of Wei (see Three Kingdoms). Confucian historians and popular legends alike describe him as the archetypal unscrupulous villain; he is portrayed as such in the famous 14th-century novel Sanguozhi yanyi (“Romance of the Three Kingdoms”). His son, Cao Pei, founded the Wei dynasty (220–265/266).

Yes, that's what I was asking. I was just wondering why so many of them seem to have "Nick Names"

Thank you for the replies.

That would fit with the fiction-story presented in Dynasty Warriors of Cao Cao being Xiahou Dun's  ...

Yeah his father Cao Song, was named Xiahou Song at birth, so I would only assume that Cao Cao, would perhaps carry his family surname too.
