Ahuinan was the third chief of a group called the “Three Ravines”, which was created by Meng Huo; the other two were Jinhuan Sanjie and Dong Tu Ne. Meng Huo called the three to a meeting, and instructed them that whoever defeated the invading force would be the chief of the three. Meng Huo sent Jinhuansanjie with the center force, Dongtuna the left, and Ahuinan the right, all having 50,000 tribesmen. After Zhao Yun and Wei Yan had killed Jinhuansanjie, Zhao Yun and Ma Zheng attacked Ahuinan’s camp early in the morning. Ahuinan was able to escape this attack, but was captured by Zhang Yi, who had been sent by Zhuge Liang to wait for Ahuinan to flee that way and capture him. Zhang Ni had captured Dongtuna as well. Zhuge Liang treated the two well and, when they asked for freedom, released the two. After Meng Huo was released (or, as he claimed, escaped), Dongtuna and Ahuinan feared that they would be executed, which they weren’t. Meanwhile, in Shu’s main camp, Zhuge Liang instructed Ma Dai, who had recently arrived with 3,000 troops, to ally with Dongtuna and Ahuinan so that the Shu forces would have help on the inside. When Meng Huo learned that Ma Dai had crossed the River Lu, which was poisonous, from Shakou and killed Mang Yachang, he sends Ahuinan to guard the crossing point and Dongtuna to engage Ma Dai. After Meng Huo was released the second time (he had been captured by Dongtuna and other discontented troops), he planned to kill Ahuinan and Dongtuna. He sent someone to the two chiefs to inform them that a messenger from Zhuge Liang was waiting for them. Ahuinan and Dongtuna were assassinated when they arrived at the so-called meeting place.Ahuinan was the third chief of a group called the “Three Ravines”, which was created by Meng Huo; the other two were Jinhuan Sanjie and Dong Tu Ne.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms , A Hui Nan is portrayed as the Third Cave Marshal under the Nanman chieftain Meng Huo . During Zhuge Liang ‘s southern expedition, he, along with Dong Tu Na and others, went into battle as reinforcements but was captured by the Shu army.

After his release, A Hui Nan once informed Zhuge Liang of the secret to crossing the Lu River, which was to avoid the miasma. Later, Meng Huo ordered A Hui Nan to lead troops to guard Shakou.3

Character Relationships

A Hui Nan is a fictional Nanman character in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms . His core relationships revolve around the Nanman King Meng Huo , his colleague Dong Tu Na, and the Shu Han chancellor Zhuge Liang . As a subordinate of Meng Huo, his fate was closely tied to that of Dong Tu Na; together they experienced the tragic process of being captured, released, betraying, and ultimately being killed. His interaction with Zhuge Liang was one of enmity, involving capture and release.3

A Hui Nan was a senior general under the Nanman King Meng Huo , serving as the Third Cave Marshal. During the campaign of the seven captures of Meng Huo, Meng Huo once dispatched A Hui Nan to lead troops and guard Shakou. Later, because A Hui Nan and Dong Tu Na had been released by Zhuge Liang , Meng Huo suspected the two of treason. He devised a plan to lure them to his main camp and had them killed.3

Dong Tu Na was an important colleague of A Hui Nan. When Zhuge Liang launched his southern campaign, the two of them went to war together as reinforcements for Meng Huo , commanding the left and right flanks respectively. During the battle, they were captured by Shu army generals Zhang Ni and Zhang Yi using an ambush. After being captured, they were both released by Zhuge Liang. Ultimately, their joint plot to capture Meng Huo and offer him to the Shu army was exposed, and they were both killed by Meng Huo.3

Zhuge Liang was the leader of the opposing force against A Hui Nan. After A Hui Nan and Dong Tu Na were captured, Zhuge Liang, adhering to the strategy that “winning hearts is the best strategy,” had their bonds removed, bestowed them with food, wine, and clothing, and released them to return to their respective caves. After being released, A Hui Nan once revealed to Zhuge Liang the secret of avoiding toxic vapors when crossing the Lu River. However, when A Hui Nan and Dong Tu Na captured Meng Huo to offer his surrender, Zhuge Liang, aiming to completely win over Meng Huo’s heart, chose to release Meng Huo. This indirectly led to A Hui Nan’s death.3
