Everything about Zhang Zhao totally explained
Zhang Zhao (
156 –
236) was a civil officer who served
Eastern Wu during the
Three Kingdoms era of
China. His stylename was Zibu (子布).
He was born in what is now part of
Jiangsu. A brilliant scholar, he devoted his life mainly to the study of
Chinese classic texts. His fame as a scholar spread, and on the advice of
Zhou Yu,
Sun Ce personally invited Zhang Zhao to serve as an official in the Kingdom of Wu.
His political skill was so impressive that on Sun Ce's deathbed, he told his brother and successor "in internal matters, consult Zhang Zhao." When
Cao Cao led an army to invade Wu, out of consideration for the populace and the future of the Sun family, he suggested that
Sun Quan should submit to Cao Cao. Sun Quan refused. Eventually, he prevailed and preserved his domain, which eventually became Eastern Wu.
Zhang Zhao was famous for his bravery and his devotion to the state of Wu. He saw himself as being responsible to the Empire, not the Emperor. Whenever Sun Quan made a decree that didn't benefit the Empire, Zhang Zhao would criticize Sun.
Zhang Zhao and
Zhang Hong, another advisor of Wu, were known as the "Two Zhangs".
