You are correct, got my VN battles mixed up. There was speculation that Khe Sanh was a diversion for the Tet Offensive, which Hue was a part of. This is a great book on the subject if you're interested:

Highly recommended reading based on the Battle of Hue
Just going to add. There's another, very good book that was released a few years back by Mark Bowden of Black Hawk Down fame. It covers it from all sides including this story, although obviously not as detailed given the focus.
Michael Mann is directing a docu on FX on this book which will be interesting. It will likely be in the mould of look at everything from all angles documentary-style that Ken Burns and Lynn Novick revived, rather than the guitar-riff and exaggerated adjective heavy style.
