Lü Bu(died 198), courtesy name Lü Fengxian, known as the "Flying General" (Feijiang), was a warlord at the end of the Later Han period(25-220) and follower of the powerful minister Dong Zhuo. He came from Jiuyuan (modern Baotou, Inner Mongolia) and was in the beginning a retainer of the regional inspector (cishi) Ding Yuan, where he held the position of commandant of cavalry (jiduwei) and assistant magistrate (zhubu). 


When Emperor Ling(r. 167-188) died, Ding Yuan followed the order of the chief minister He Jin and led his troops to the capital Luoyang. Dong Zhuo, seizing power of the central government, incited Lü Bu to kill his superior and to take over his troops. Lü Bu soon became a trusted follower of the mighty Dong Zhuo and was appointed Leader of the court gentlemen (zhonglangjiang). As head of Dong Zhuo's guard and Marquis of Duting, he had always access to him.
 
After Dong Zhuo had burnt down the capital Luoyang and had moved the court to Chang'an (modern Xi'an, Shaanxi), the ancient capital of former times, Lü Bu lost his confidence in his leadership competency. Together with Wang Yun he made a plot to assassinate the potentate Dong Zhuo. For this murder he was awarded the title of General of advancing martiality (fenwu jiangjun, not in Hucker (1985)) and was given the title of Marquis of Wen. Yet he had to flee in order to escape the remaining adherents of Dong Zhuo and sought refuge with the warlord Yuan Shu, later Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and finally Liu Bei. He was able to occupy the the province of Xuzhou that he made his own territory. 


In 198 he was captured and strangulated by the warlord Cao Cao. Although admired for his military strengths, he is generally dispised as someone who easily changed sides if only obtaining any profit.
