Person
Liang Shidu
Liang Shidu was a local officer in Shuofang, on the northern bend of the Yellow River, who killed the Sui governor in 617 and proclaimed himself emperor of Liang. As a client of the Eastern Turks he held out against the Tang longer than any other regime born of the Sui collapse. He was killed by his cousin in 628 when Tang forces besieged his capital.
