Yuan Shao
In 191, Ju Shou came to serve the warlord Yuan Shao after Han Fu relinquished his governorship of Ji Province to Yuan Shao. He proposed to Yuan Shao a grand plan: conquer Ji, Qing, You and Bing provinces in northern China, recruit all the talents in these four provinces, and bring the figurehead Emperor Xian ( 189–220) to Ji Province. Yuan Shao was so pleased that he appointed Ju Shou as an Army Supervisor () and General of Vehement Might ().
