Li Hao
Upon the fall of Dongchuan, both Zhao and another senior Xichuan general, Li Renhan, wanted to be the military governor of Dongchuan, and their rivalry was threatening to destroy the cohesion of the Xichuan army. Meng was initially intending to let Zhao and Li Renhan settle the dispute themselves and then name one of them the military governor of Dongchuan. Li Hao advocated to Meng that he should assume the military governorship of Dongchuan himself (in addition to Xichuan) to settle the situation, and Meng agreed. Zhao still wanted to challenge Li Renhan to a duel. It was not until Li Hao persuaded Zhao that that challenge would be unwise and informed him that Meng would make him the military governor of Baoning Circuit (保寧, headquartered in modern Langzhong, Sichuan) that Zhao abandoned the idea.
