Biography & Historical Record

Yue Zhao (乐肇, Nhạc Triệu) was the son of the martyred Inspector Yue Chen (乐綝, Nhạc Sâm) and grandson of the Five Elite General Yue Jin (乐进, Nhạc Tiến). After Sima Zhao (司马昭, Tư Mã Chiêu) crushed Zhuge Dan (诸葛诞, Gia Cát Đản)‘s rebellion in 258 AD, the court rewarded the Yue house: Yue Zhao received the hereditary title Marquis of Guangchang (广昌亭侯), honoring two generations of battlefield loyalty.

Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111–112 (Shouchun suppression arc): The novel treats the Yue clan’s reward after Zhuge Dan’s defeat as part of Sima Zhao’s consolidation — Yue Zhao succeeds the line after his father Yue Chen’s martyrdom, though he is not given dialogue.
