Chapter 91 Chapter 90: Empress Fu Chong

There is no way of knowing when Fu Chong, the last emperor of the former Qin Dynasty, was born.After his father Fu Deng succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the first year of the former Qin Taichu (386 AD), he was named Shangshu Zuopushe and Dongping King in the summer of the second year, and he began to become prominent.A year later, Fu Deng made him the crown prince and became the legal heir to the throne. Fu Chong's performance was disappointing.In the first month of the ninth year of Taichu (394 A.D.), Fu Deng heard that Yao Chang, the queen master of the Qin Dynasty, died of illness and was succeeded by his son Yao Xing. He thought the time had come and decided to immediately send troops to teach Yao Xing a lesson.He asked his younger brother Fu Guang to stay in Yongcheng, and his prince Fu Chong to stay in Hukongbao, and then he personally led the main force to march eastward.Unexpectedly, things backfired, and Yao Xing taught him a lesson.In April of this year, Fu Deng's entire army was wiped out in the Battle of the Abandoned Bridge, and he ran back to Yongcheng alone, intending to regroup.Unexpectedly, Fu Guang and Fu Chong had already abandoned the city and fled when they heard that the front line was defeated. As a result, Fu Deng had nowhere to stand, so they had to gather the rest of the people in Pingliang and went to Mamao Mountain.Three months later, Fu Deng was captured by Yao Xing in the south of Mamao Mountain and killed.

Fu Chong ran to Huangzhong in one breath. After hearing that his father had been killed, he hurriedly assumed the throne and changed Yuan Yanchu.Unexpectedly, Huangzhong was not peaceful. In October, Fu Chong was driven away by Qifu Gangui, and was forced to flee to Qinzhou to join Longxi King Yang Ding. Yang Ding led 20,000 soldiers to help him fight Qifu Gangui.Begging Qiangui to send Liangzhou Mu Kepan and Liyi General Jiegui to lead 30,000 cavalry to the enemy.The two sides fought fiercely, and as a result, Fu Chong and Yang Ding were killed together, and the former Qin Dynasty perished.
