Life
Ying Shao was from Nandun County, Runan Commandery (汝南郡), which is located west of present-day Xiangcheng, Henan. He was nominated as a xiaolian during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, and later served as a minor official under He Miao, Empress He's half-brother From 189 to 194, Ying Shao served as the Administrator of Taishan Commandery in Xu Province. In December 191, he repelled an attack on his commandery by the remnants of the Yellow Turban rebels, recorded in the Book of the Later Han. In 193 and 194, the warlord Cao Cao attacked Xu Province to seek vengeance for the murder of his father Cao Song. Thus, Ying Shao fled from Taishan Commandery and took refuge under Cao Cao's rival Yuan Shao. By the time Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family and conquered the Hebei region, Ying Shao was already dead. The interim events are given in two versions in Pei Songzhi's annotations to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei Jin Shiyu (魏晉世語) by Guo Song (郭頒), and Wei Zhao's Book of Wu. Ying Shao eventually died in Ye city.

生平
應劭年少篤學，博覽多聞，漢靈帝時舉孝廉，熹平二年為郎官，六年為汝南主簿。後闢車騎將軍何苗掾，任蕭縣縣令、營陵令、中平六年（189年）出任泰山太守。
185年，朝廷派遣車騎將軍皇甫嵩鎮壓韓遂、邊章之亂，本來皇甫嵩想招烏桓兵作戰，此時北軍中候鄒靖上言：「烏桓衆弱，宜開募鮮卑。」大將軍掾韓卓表示贊同，並稱讚鄒靖：「靖居近邊塞，究其態詐。靖募鮮卑輕騎五千，必有破敵之效。」但是應劭認為鮮卑族貪婪不守信義，堅持啟用烏桓兵。最後兩人爆發了口角，詔百官大會朝堂，最後應劭的意見被眾人採納。
獻帝初平二年（191年）大破黃巾賊卅萬眾。
權臣董卓伏誅後，餘黨李傕、郭汜繼續把持朝政，徐州刺史陶謙率前揚州刺史周乾、琅邪相陰德、東海相劉馗、彭城相汲廉、北海相孔融、沛相袁忠、應劭、汝南太守徐璆、前九江太守服虔、博士鄭玄等共推行車騎將軍朱儁為太師，發檄文號召地方討伐李傕，尊奉獻帝。但朱儁應李傕徵召入朝，陶謙等只能作罷。
後奉曹操命令送曹父曹嵩返鄉，應劭未至、陶謙先到，劫殺了曹嵩，應劭畏懼曹操怪罪，而投奔袁紹，為袁紹軍謀校尉。後曹操迎奉獻帝，應劭入朝制定典章。後卒於鄴縣。
