Jian Shuo (? -189), a eunuch in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the fifth year of Zhong Ping (188), Jian Shuo was appointed as a captain. Because of Jian Shuo's strong body and extraordinary skills, Lingdi trusted him, named him Marshal of Xiyuanjun, led eight captains including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and supervised officials below a captain in Li Si. Although Jianshuo held the relieving power, he was terrified of blades, and once persuaded the spirit emperor to send blades and Han Sui. In the sixth year of Zhong Ping (189), Emperor Ling entrusted Liu Xie to Jianshuo when he was seriously ill. After the death of Emperor Ling, Jian Shuo tried to kill Blade before making Liu Xie the emperor, but failed, because his men Sima Panyin and Blade were old and winked at Blade. After Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, Jian Shuo wrote to Zhong Zhao, Guo Sheng and others, trying to get rid of the blades. Because Guo Sheng and Blades were in the same county, Blades and Empress Ho both had credit, so he advised others to ignore Jian Shuo's plan and told Blades about Jian Shuo's letter. Blade then sent Huang Men to kill him, and his soldiers were also led by Blade.
