Luo Zhouhan (羅周翰), formally the Duke of Changsha (長沙公), was a teenage general of the Chinese state Later Liang of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. He inherited Tianxiong Circuit (天雄, headquartered in modern Handan, Hebei) from his grandfather Luo Hongxin and father Luo Shaowei, who controlled Tianxiong in a semi-independent manner late in Later Liang's predecessor state Tang Dynasty as military governor (''Jiedushi''). Luo Zhouhan, however, was in a position of weakness due to his young age after inheriting the circuit, and soon, the Later Liang general Yang Shihou, who had coveted Tianxiong, forcibly seized it. Luo was transferred to Xuanyi Circuit (宣義, headquartered in modern Anyang, Henan) and died there shortly after. == Background == It is not known which year Luo Zhouhan was born — although, as referred to below, he died some time from 913 to 915 at the age of 13, so he must have been born sometime between 900 and 902.〔''New History of the Five Dynasties'', vol. 39.〕 His grandfather Luo Hongxin had taken over Tianxiong Circuit, then also known as Weibo Circuit (魏博), late in the Tang Dynasty after a successful rebellion against then-ruling military governor Le Yanzhen. His father Luo Shaowei would later inherit the circuit and become a reliable ally of the major warlord Zhu Quanzhong the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered, in modern Kaifeng, Henan), allowing the Luo family to safely hold Tianxiong after Zhu seized the Tang throne and started a new Later Liang as its Emperor Taizu.〔''History of the Five Dynasties'', vol. 14.〕 Luo Zhouhan had one older brother, Luo Tinggui (羅廷規), who died early, and one younger brother, Luo Zhoujing (羅周敬).〔 In 909, Luo Shaowei, who then held the title of Prince of Ye, suffered a paralysis to his limb(s). He wrote Later Liang's Emperor Taizong, in an explicit offer to surrender physical control of the circuit:〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 267.〕 Emperor Taizu was touched, and, while appreciative of Luo's offer, commissioned Luo Zhouhan as the deputy military governor and put Luo Zhouhan in temporary command, stating to Luo Shaowei's messenger:〔 Luo Shaowei did not recover, however, and died in 910. Emperor Taizu made Luo Zhouhan acting military governor,〔 and full military governor in 911.〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 268.〕 Concerned that Luo Zhouhan was too young and his officers too independent to control against an attack by Later Liang's northern rival Jin, Emperor Taizu temporarily assigned the official Li Zhen to Tianxiong as its deputy military governor and also sent the officer Du Tingyin (杜廷隱) to Tianxiong's capital Wei Prefecture (魏州) to assist Luo and Li in defending the city.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luo Zhouhan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
