Shao Xu

Shao Xu (died c. 321), courtesy nameSizu, was a military general and warlord of the Jin dynasty (266–420). Shao Xu was an official under the You province warlord, Wang Jun but after Wang was killed in 314, he submitted to Han-Zhao. In 315, Shao Xu declared his allegiance to the Prince of Langya, Sima Rui in the south and revolted against Han. Shao Xu served as a loyal Jin vassal in Ji province where he allied himself with the Duan chieftain, Duan Pidi before he was eventually captured by Shi Le in 320. Shi Le respected Shao Xu's loyalty and initially treated him as a guest. However, Shi Le became worried that he would rebel, and in 321, had him executed along with Duan Pidi.
