蘇峻

sou1 zeon3

Mandarin: su1 jun4

Su Jun (d. 328) was a Jin Dynasty (265-420) general, whose rebellion against Emperor Cheng's regent Yu Liang was initially successful, allowing him to take over the imperial government, but he was eventually defeated by Tao Kan and Wen Jiao's forces and killed in battle. The disturbance he created greatly weakened the Jin regime, which for decades did not have any ability to fight back against rival Later Zhao. (source: Wikipedia)
