The Lüeyang Wang Family and the Former Liang Regime
The Lüeyang Wang family,descendants of Prince Xiutu,who moved from Hexi to Lüeyang during the Western Han Dynasty,rose to prominence between the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Sixteen Kingdoms period.Wang Qiang was the earliest figure of the Lüeyang Wang family to be clearly documented as being in contact with the former Liang dynastic state,and he fled to Hexi after failing to oppose the rule of the Later Zhao dynastic state.At the end of the Later Zhao dynastic state,Shi Hu launched several attacks on Hexi,in which Wang Zhuo was actively involved and acted as the vanguard.After the fall of the Later Zhao dynastic state,Wang Zhuo was in conflict with the former Liang dynastic state and the Former Qin regime,and contacted the former Yan dynastic state and the Eastern Jin regime.After Wang Zhuo turned to Zhang Chonghua,the former Liang dynastic state's dominion expanded eastward to the Long Mountains.Later,Wang Zhuo surrendered to Fu Jian as a result of Zhang Zuo's suspicion.The former Qin forces broke through the Long Mountains in the west and occupied the area around Shanggui in Qinzhou,while the former Liang forces contracted sharply to the Huang River line.During the former Qin era,Wang Tong,son of Wang Zhuo,was the governor of Liangzhou,stationed in Jincheng County to monitor the movements of the former Liang forces across the Huang River.When Fu Jian sent troops to Hexi,Wang Tong led the state troops to join hands with the former Qin regime to destroy the former Liang dynastic state.After the Battle of Feishui,the former Qin regime collapsed and the northern region was in great turmoil.Wang Mu escorted Zhang Dayu,the last prince of the former Liang dynastic state,to escape to the west of the river,and fought with Lu Guang for the control of Liangzhou,but was defeated and killed.
