Qiao Zhou

Qiao Zhou (201–270), style name Yunnan (允南), was a minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Qiao formerly served under Liu Zhang. Qiao is remembered in later fiction as a very gifted astrologer whose readings of the sky were of use to Zhuge Liang's dispatch of troops. Qiao served in the court at Shu from the time that Liu Bei became emperor to the fall of Shu Han. Qiao also assisted in convincing the inept Liu Shan to submit to the superior opposition of Deng Ai of the state of Cao Wei.
