Who is Yang Fu?

Yang Fu, style name Yishan, was a politician of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. He previously served as a regional official in Liang Province during the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the 210s, when the warlord Ma Chao started a rebellion against the Han imperial court and occupied Liang Province by force, Yang Fu and several of his colleagues plotted against Ma and succeeded in driving him out of the province. During the reign of Cao Rui, he proposed to the emperor to correct on his luxurious living style, but was not heeded.
