Li Shao 李邵

According to the account of Sima Lang, when troops rose east of the passes, the former Inspector of Ji Province Li Shao was living at Yewang, and because it was close to the mountain strongholds he intended to move and live at Wen County. Records, Wei 15 §16

Sima Lang said to Li Shao that the metaphor of lips and teeth applied not only to the states of Yu and Guo but to Wen and Yewang as well, so that leaving there to live here was merely avoiding ruin in the morning to await ruin in the evening. He also said that Li Shao was a man to whom the people of the region looked up, and if he moved first before the bandits had even arrived, the counties along the mountains would surely take fright; this would unsettle the people's hearts and open the way for the wicked to rise, and he was worried on behalf of the commandery. Li Shao did not listen, and the people along the mountains did indeed fall into disorder, some moving inland and others turning bandit and plundering. Records, Wei 15 §16

According to the account of Dong Zhao, when Yuan Shao met Gongsun Zan in battle at Jieqiao, the Administrator of Julu Li Shao and the leading men of the commandery all wished to go over to Gongsun Zan because his forces were strong. Hearing of this, Yuan Shao put his Army Adviser Dong Zhao in charge of Julu. On reaching the commandery, Dong Zhao forged a dispatch from Yuan Shao and beheaded Sun Kang and several dozen others of the commandery's powerful clans, who had become ringleaders of the plot and were alarming the officials and people, and then pacified the frightened commandery by comforting it step by step. Records, Wei 14 §45–47

Chen Shou's main text does not record what became of Li Shao after Dong Zhao took charge of Julu. Neither account gives Li Shao's courtesy name, origins or death, nor says whether the two are the same man. He does not appear in the assessments of Records of Wei 14 and 15 either.
