Yu Fuluo

Yu Fuluo (?-195), also known as Yu Fukuo or Yufuluo, was the chief of the Southern Xiongnu.

Biography[]

Yu Fuluo rose to power as chief of the Xiongnu after the death of his father Qiang Qu, who was slain by his tribe for dispatching Xiongnu troops to serve in Chinese armies on some occasions. The Later Han refused to help him in fighting the rebels, and he allied with a group of Yellow Turbans during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184 AD. Yu Fuluo later joined Yuan Shao and Black Mountain Bandits leader Zhang Yang at Henei, but both of them allied against Yuan Shao after they decided not to follow Yuan Shao's orders.

In 192 AD, Cao Cao defeated the Black Mountain Bandits under Sui Gu and Yufuluo's bandits, and he allied with Yuan Shu, an enemy of both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. He joined Yuan Shu's army at Fengqiu, but Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu's armies at Fengqiu and other locations multiple times. After multiple defeats, Yufuluo fled to Pingyang County, and died in 195 AD, and his brother Hu Chuquan succeeded him.
