Murong Chui

Murong Chui declared himself Prince of Yan, founding the Later Yan dynasty after breaking away from the Former Qin. He established his capital at Zhongshan (modern Dingzhou, Hebei) and began consolidating power in northern China.

Murong Chui led a campaign against the Northern Wei dynasty. His forces were defeated at Canhe Slope by the Wei army under Tuoba Gui, a major setback that weakened Later Yan and led to its decline.

Murong Chui died of illness while on campaign against Northern Wei. His death left the Later Yan dynasty in a weakened state, and it soon collapsed under pressure from the Northern Wei.
