Biography & Historical Record

Zhang Xiong (张雄, Trương Hùng) was the eldest son and heir of Senior General Zhang He (张郃, Trương Cáp). When Zhang He was killed in a Shu ambush at Mumen Trail (木门道) in 231 AD, Emperor Cao Rui (曹睿, Tào Duệ) deeply mourned the loss and granted Zhang Xiong the hereditary Marquisate of Mo (鄚侯), enfeoffing four of Zhang He’s other sons as interior marquises.

Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 99 (Zhuge Liang Defeats Wei at Mumen; Zhang He Dies in the Ambush): Zhang He (张郃, Trương Cáp) pursues the retreating Shu army into the wooded Mumen Trail where Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮, Gia Cát Lượng) has set an ambush; rolling logs crush the Wei vanguard and Zhang He dies. Zhang Xiong is not on stage, but the chapter’s mourning and enfeoffment notices are the literary hook for his inheritance.
