Zhao Huang (趙鍠) (died 889) was a warlord late in the Chinese Tang dynasty, who ruled Xuanshe Circuit (宣歙, headquartered in modern Xuancheng, Anhui) as its governor (觀察使, Guanchashi) from 887 to his death at the hands of rival Yang Xingmi in 889.
Bi, who put Huainan's capital Yang Prefecture (揚州) under siege but was unable to capture it quickly, decided to seek aid from Qin Yan the governor of Xuanshe, offering the Huainan military governorship to Qin if they could jointly prevail.
[4] Qin Yan and Bi Shiduo, however, were then defeated by the joint forces of Yang Xingmi the prefect of Lu Prefecture (廬州, in modern Hefei, Anhui) and Lü Yongzhi.
Yang took this opportunity to attack Zhao's officers Sun Tang (孫塘) and Qi Lang (漆朗) at Mount He (曷山, in modern Xuancheng); after he defeated them, he put Xuanshe's capital Xuan Prefecture under siege.
[4] By summer 889, Xuan Prefecture was so desperate for food under Yang's siege that people had resorted to cannibalism.
