Xiahou Ying

Xiahou Ying, posthumously known as Marquis Wen of Ruyin, was a Chinese official who served under Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han dynasty, and two of his successors. A friend of Liu Bang, he first joined Liu in the rebellions against the Qin dynasty from 209 to 206 BC, and later fought on Liu's side against his rival Xiang Yu during the Chu–Han Contention. After the Han dynasty was established, he served as Minister Coachman (太僕). He is also referred to as "Lord Teng" (滕公), a title said to be derived from tengling fengche (滕令奉車), the position he held when he was serving as the carriage driver of the magistrate of Teng County.
