Chapter 79 Chapter 78: Xinxing Wang Shizhi

After the death of Shi Hu, the king of Hou Zhao, there was chaos in Hou Zhao, and Shi Hu's sons killed each other for the throne.In the first month of the first year of the Qinglong (350 A.D.), Ran Min killed Shi Jian and made himself emperor of the Wei Dynasty. Shi Zhi, one of Shi Hu's sons, took the throne in Xiangguo (now Xingtai, Hebei) and established Yuan Yongning. Leaders of ethnic minorities such as Li, Di, and Qiang expressed their support.In Shi Zhi's eyes, what kind of thing are you, Ran Min, who dares to kill the emperor and proclaim himself emperor!I have the right to be called emperor, but you are not qualified to be called emperor.Moreover, there can only be one emperor, and you will never stop until you are eliminated.In April of the same year, Shi Zhi sent Ruyin King Shi Kun with 100,000 soldiers to attack Ran Min, but Shi Kun was vulnerable and was beaten to death by the general Wang Tai sent by Ran Min.In November, when Ran Min sent troops to Xiangguo, Shi Zhi was extremely panicked when he saw this. He hurriedly removed the title of emperor and changed his name to King Zhao, and asked Murong Jun, the former king of Yan, and Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang tribe, for reinforcements.Although Shi Zhi defeated Ran Min under the attack of Murong Jun, Yao Yizhong and Shi Kun from three sides, and Ran Min fled back to Yecheng after disguised, Shi Zhi was still worried about this.In March of the following year, Shi Zhi sent General Liu Xian to attack Yecheng with 70,000 soldiers and horses. Ran Min's whole army fought against Liu Xian and defeated Liu Xian.After Liu Xian surrendered to Ran Min, he expressed his willingness to kill Shi Zhi to make atonement.Soon, Liu Xian really killed Shi Zhi, and then Zhao Sui died.
