Yan Baihu

Yan Baihu (pronunciationⓘ) was a bandit leader active in the Wu or Jiangdong region during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.

When Liu Yao was appointed as Governor of Yang Province, he approached Yan Baihu to bribe him to get his support against the warlord Yuan Shu, who had a large army in the Huai River valley.

Despite Yan Baihu's preparations, Sun Ce was able to outwit Wang Lang and took his supply base through the use of superior tactics.

Yan Baihu then fled into the hills, where he continued to encourage the Shanyue people to oppose Sun Ce's rule over the Jiangdong territories.

In the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Baihu was attacked by Sun Ce and then fled to Wang Lang to seek help.
