Transliterations

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Zhang (張).

Zhang Miao (155 - 195) was a minister of the Three Kingdoms Period who acted as prefect of Chenliu. Zhang Miao led an army during the coalition against Dong Zhuo. In the coalition Zhang expressed displeasure at their leader, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao to kill him. Cao Cao refused, saying that it was best not to quarrel with friends during such turbulent times. It was known that Zhang Miao was a very close friend of Cao Cao, but later rebelled against him through the suggestion of Chen Gong. Miao then captured Yan through the help of Lü Bu, but was ultimately defeated.
