Lu Bù (153 – 198) was a military general and minor warlord during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period in ancient China. According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bù was a master in horse riding, archery, and armed combat, and was thus known as the Flying General. His image as a handsome and mighty warrior wielding a Ji (halberd) on top of his steed Red Hare was later popularized by the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Besides being matchless on the battlefield, Lu Bù was also notorious for having betrayed and slain two separate masters (who were both his adoptive fathers). He was perhaps most well-known for his amorous relationship with the fictional Diao Chán which led to his slaying of his adoptive father Dong Zhuò, the tyrannical warlord who held the figurehead Emperor Xian in his power. Due to his legendary skill, it was often reccomended to not pursue him on the battlefield.

Lu Bù was eventually defeated and captured by Cáo Cao in Xiapi. Having little trust in the capricious character, Cáo Cao had Lu Bù strangled despite his pledge of service.
