Zhang Zhao (張昭) (156 - 236) was a brilliantly minded civil officer who served under the Sun family at the time of the Three Kingdoms in China. It is said that when Sun Ce died he told his brother to seek advice on internal affairs from Zhang Zhao. He suggested that Sun Quan surrender to Cao Cao, rather than face him at the Battle of Chibi. Sun refused, and eventually was able to prevail and preserve his domain, which eventually became Eastern Wu. Despite this particularly poor advice, Zhang proved to be an effective prime minister after Eastern Wu's establishment.
