Transliterations

Niu Fu (d. 192) was a general of the late Eastern Han Dynasty and early Three Kingdoms era of China.

Niu Fu served under Dong Zhuo, who was also his father-in-law. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang to the ground and retreated to Chang'an, Niu Fu was sent to defend Anyi. After Dong Zhuo was killed by Lü Bu, the latter sent Li Su to eliminate Niu Fu. The target repelled Li Su's army, leading to Li Su's execution. Lü Bu himself went on to overwhelm Niu Fu's force. According to the historic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his army soon panicked and he took the plan of his most trusted man, Hu Chier, (胡赤兒), to steal away with the army funds in the chaos. He was soon killed by his partner in crime, who took the money for himself.
