Su Hu was a character from the classic Ming Dynasty novel 'Fengshen Yanyi'. The father of King Zhou of Shang's favourite concubine Su Daji and Su Quanzhong; Su Hu was also marquis of Jizhou. When Su Hu came to renew his loyalty to the Shang Dynasty; he saw the corruption and injustice within King Zhou's court; and refused to obey its wishes; earning the scorn of Fei Zhong and You Hun; two of the most corrupt ministers in the Shang court.

When King Zhou; at Fei Zhong's insistence; demanded that Su Hu give his daughter to the king; Su Hu refused and defied the king; returning to his marquise to fortify his defenses for war. A great coalition was formed to bring the 'rebellious' Su Hu to heel; with the two dukes Chong Houhu and Ji Chang (King Wen of Zhou) given command of it. Chong Houhu eagerly attacked Su Hu's army; wishing to ingratiate himself before the king; while Ji Chang tried to resolve the matter peacefully.

After his son Su Quanzhong was captured; Su Hu was determined to keep his honour and prepared to kill himself; his wife and his daughter rather than be taken prisoner. In the end; Ji Chang managed to convince Su Hu to relent and give away his daughter to ease his people's suffering; ending the coalition with a single letter. His daughter would be possessed by the vixen spirit on her way to King Zhou's court; eventually leading to the collapse of the Shang Dynasty. Su Hu would join King Wu of Zhou's army in their attempt to bring down the Shang Dynasty; and was eventually killed by Yu Da at Tongguan Pass.
