During the era of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the relationship between the Cao Wei regime and the local prominent families was exceptionally complex. Intertwined with various marital relationships, one of the most famous was the relationship between the Xun Yu family and the Cao Wei regime.

Xun Yu was the chief contributor to Cao Cao's unification of the northern regions, and his importance to Cao Cao was unparalleled. Cao Cao's respect for Xun Yu was also fully demonstrated when he married his daughter, Princess Anyang, to Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yun, thus forging a close kinship between the two families.

Xun Yu had seven sons. Among them, Xun Yun and Princess Anyang had two sons. The eldest son, Xun Guang, served as the Sanqi Changshi and was granted the title of Guangyang Xianghou. Unfortunately, Xun Guang died young at the age of only thirty. Xun Yun's second son, Xun Xi, was deeply loved by his uncle, Emperor Cao Pi of the Wei dynasty, and rose to the position of Zhong Lingjun, with the title of Liehou. Xun Xi married Princess Nanyang, the daughter of Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua, and maintained friendly relations with his brothers, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

Xun Xi had three sons. Among them, Xun Kai and Xun Kui were born to Xun Xi and Princess Nanyang, the daughter of Sima Yi. Later, Xun Kai inherited Xun Xi's title, while Xun Kui served as the General of the Guard. The eldest son of Xun Xi, Xun Meng, was not born to Princess Nanyang but presumably to his former wife.

Xun Xi rose to the position of Zhong Lingjun and was posthumously awarded the title of "Zhenhou" and granted the posthumous rank of "Piaoji General". The marital relationships between the Xun Xi family and the Cao Wei regime were intricate and mutually intertwined. However, these marital relationships played a crucial role in the stability and development of the Cao Wei regime. After all, in that era, marriages between prominent families were a common political tactic.
