Zhang Zhifang
Zhang Zhifang () (died January 23, 881?) was a Chinese military general of the late
Tang dynasty. Succeeding his father
Zhang Zhongwu, he briefly ruled Lulong Circuit (盧龍, headquartered in modern
Beijing) as its military governor (''
Jiedushi'') in ''de facto'' independence from the imperial government, but fearing a mutiny, he fled to the imperial capital
Chang'an and thereafter served as an imperial general. During
Huang Chao's rebellion against
Emperor Xizong, Zhang surrendered to Huang Chao's Qi state but plotted to undermine it; when this was discovered, Qi executed him.
