Chizhi Shizhu Hou (Chinese: 持至尸逐侯; d. 195),^[1] personal name Yufuluo (於夫羅), was a puppet chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu during the late Han dynasty. In 188, he was appointed chanyu by the Han court following the murder of his father Qiangqu and would later gain the Xiongnu title of Chizhi Shizhu Hou.

In 184, Qiangqu sent Yufuluo to assist the Han in fighting the Yellow Turban Rebellion.^[1]

After Qiangqu's death in 188, the Han court attempted to appoint the Western Tuqi Prince Yufuluo^[2] as chanyu, instead of using the traditional Xiongnu election system. The southern Xiongnu dissented and elected a lawful alternate leader of the Xubu line. Later they expelled Yufuluo, who fled to the Han imperial court. When the marquis of Xubu died the next year an elderly king became the nominal head of state without the title of chanyu and the Southern Xiongnu ceased to exist as a coherent entity.^[3]

Yufuluo fled to the Han court but found no support after the death of Emperor Ling of Han in 189. He became a wandering mercenary, working under the Yellow Turbans, Yuan Shao, and the Heishan bandits of Zhang Yan. After suffering several defeats to Cao Cao, Yufuluo relocated to Pingyang County close to the Fen River. He died in 195 and his remaining followers joined his brother Huchuquan.^[1]

Yufuluo's son was Liu Bao, who in 216, was appointed by the Han chancellor Cao Cao to supervise the Southern Xiongnu in Shanxi. Yufuluo's grandson Liu Yuan went on to found the state of Han-Zhao in 304, one of the first states of the Sixteen Kingdoms.^[1] However, some modern Chinese scholars doubt Liu Bao and Liu Yuan's lineage to Yufuluo, believing that the Lius were actually members of the non-related Chuge tribe (屠各; also known as Xiuchuge (休屠各)) that rebelled against Qiangqu and sent Yufuluo into exile. Their theory suggests that Liu Yuan may had fabricated his and Liu Bao's lineage to Yufuluo to increase their legitimacy as descendants of the Southern Xiongnu chanyus and the Han dynasty (due to the marriage of Modu Chanyu to a Han princess).^[4][5]
