Yang Wu (died 367), courtesy name Shiqiu, was an official of Former Yan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
In 313, Dan was captured in Yangle (陽樂; present-day Yi County, Liaoning) by Murong Han during a joint Murong-Tuoba attack on the Duan clan.
He, too would serve in Murong Hui's governance, eventually rising to the rank of Attendant Officer With Separate Carriage of Pingzhou (平州, modern eastern Liaoning).
However, Wang suggested that the position be given to Yang Wu, who was serving as Administrator of Liaodong, due to his abilities.
"[3] Following his father's death, Murong Jun ascended the throne and made Yang Wu the Prefect of the Household Gentlemen.
Jun handed out imperial offices to his officials, with Yang Wu being made Prefect of the Masters of Writing.
Meanwhile, Jin's Administrator of Taishan, Zhuge You (諸葛攸), attacked Yan at Dong Commandery and breached into Wuyang.
Zhuge You fled back to Taishan while the Yan generals occupied the Jin territory south of the Yellow River.
In spite of that, he was still keen on holding a grand invasion of Jin that year, with Murong Ke and Yang Wu acting as commanders.
Before he died, he ordered Yang Wu to serve as regent to his heir, Murong Wei, who was too young to rule at the time.
Yang was reluctant in accepting the office at first, telling Murong Wei, "In the past, Chang Lin and Xu Miao were both famous ministers.
