Life of the characters

In the seventh year of Yonghe (351), the later Zhao emperor Shi Zhi sent Liu Xian to lead 70000 people to attack Yecheng under the ran Wei regime. Ran min, the heavenly king of the ran Wei regime, secretly returned to Yecheng and led all his troops to fight. He defeated Liu Xian, pursued him to Yangping and killed more than 30000 people. Fearing, Liu Xian secretly sent envoys to ask for surrender, and asked to kill Shi Zhi as a reward. Ran min reorganized the division and returned. In April, Liu Xian killed more than ten people, including Shi Zhi and his prime minister, Le'an Wang Shi Bing, and taizai Zhao Lu (zhao shu). He sent Shi Zhi's head to Yecheng and sent hostages to ask ran min to save his life. Ran min ordered to burn Shi Zhi's head at the intersection of the road, and awarded Liu Xian the positions of general, Da Danyu and Ji Zhou mu. In July, Liu Xian led his troops to attack Yecheng again and was defeated by ran min. Liu Xian returned and became emperor in Xiang state. In the first month of the eighth year of Yonghe (352), Liu Xian attacked Changshan. Ran min left his general, Jiang Gan, to assist Prince ran Zhi in guarding Yecheng. He led 8000 cavalry to rescue. Liu Xian's great Sima Wangning surrendered to ran Wei and handed over Zaoqiang County. Ran min attacked Liu Xian, defeated him and pursued him to Xiang state. Fu Ju, the chief General of Liu Xian, opened the gate to let ran min in. Ran min killed more than 100 officials under Liu Xian and his ministers, burned the palace of Xiang, and moved the people of Xiang to Yecheng.
