- "The Chronicle of jin shu and pi pi"
During the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the north, Jian Jian established the Former Qin regime, he strengthened the centralization of power, paid attention to agricultural production, gradually became stronger, gradually unified most of the northern region, and seized a small part of the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, the use of troops for many years has also increased the burden on the people, and at the same time, internal contradictions have become sharper. After the defeat at the Battle of Shuishui, Former Qin was seriously injured and the interior began to split.
Two years later, Former Qin was attacked by Later Yan and Later Qin, and soon after, Jian Jian was captured alive by the army of Yao Cang, the King of Later Qin, and imprisoned in a temple. Yao Cang threatened to force Jian Jian to hand over the jade seal, but Jian Jian not only resolutely refused, but also scolded Yao Cang. So Yao Cang ordered Jian Jian to be executed. When Former Qin's Youzhou Assassin Wang Yong learned of this news, he immediately supported Jian Jian's son Zhi Pi to succeed him. The following year, Wang Yong was given the title of Zuo Cheng (左丞相).
After Wang Yong took office, he wrote a letter calling on Former Qin's armed forces in various places to unite against Later Qin's leader Yao Cang and Later Yan's chief Murong Chui. The text reads: "The former emperor was unfortunately killed in a place controlled by thieves, the capital Chang'an became a nest of the enemy, the country withered, and the people lived in mud and charcoal, suffering. After the civil and military officials in various localities saw Ben Tanwen, they immediately sent soldiers and horses to meet the division and prepare for battle. ”
However, Later Qin's forces were strong, and the troops under Wang Yong's command eventually failed. In 394, Former Qin was attacked by Later Qin.
