Qiuliju

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Qiuliju
Traditional Chinese: 丘力居
Simplified Chinese: 丘力居

Qiuliju was a lord of the Wuhuan ethnic minority during the later years of the Han Dynasty. He was also the father of Louban.

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