Zhao Hong 趙弘

Zhao Hong (? - 184) was a member of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. When Zhang Mancheng died, Zhao Hong was elected to succeed him.

Life
Zhang Mancheng had died at the hands of Qin Xie. Remnants of Zhang Mancheng's party had elected Zhao Hong as their new leader. Again, the party's strength increased until they numbered more then a hundred thousand. They occupied Wan city. Zhu Jun and other local commanders under the Inspector of Jing Province, Xu Qiu, collected forces together and besieged the rebels. They had attacked the place from the sixth month to the eight month without success.

A while later, after discussions were held whether Zhu Jun should lead the attack on Zhao Hong or not, Zhu Jun launched a second attack. This time he achieved succes, cutting off Zhao Hong's head.
