Qiuliju

Who is Qiuliju?

Qiuliju was a leader of the Wuhuan tribe during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He was the father of Louban.

In 187, Qiuliju joined Zhang Chun in his rebellion along the northern frontiers of China. They raised all the Wuhuan tribes to raid northern China, but in 188 they were defeated by the warlord Gongsun Zan. Qiuliju managed to reorganize his forces and dealt a blow to Gongsun's forces, and continued to harass the frontier regions until 190, when Liu Yu convinced him to surrender. Qiuliju died soon afterwards.
