Cheng-Han

The rebellion devastated the Guanzhong region, creating an influx of Han and non-Han refugees fleeing south into Hanzhong and Sichuan.

Tension grew between Li Te and Luo Shang due to an order from the imperial court demanding the refugees to return to their homes.

Li Te negotiated with Luo Shang to extend their stay, but the latter soon grew frustrated by the delay and tried to force a move.

Shortly after, he declared a new reign era, which hinted his intention of founding a new state but was suddenly killed in an ambush.

Li Shou initially promised to only rule for a few years before submitting to Jin to appease the court but soon reneged on his words.

Instead, he imitated his rule after the Later Zhao dynasty in the north by imposing harsher laws, taxes and corvee labor on his citizens and building lavish palaces.

His reign was plagued by a succession crisis, a popular revolt by one of his generals and a sudden influx of Rau people entering his territory.

In 346, Huan Wen set off to conquer Han, and in 347, he reached Chengdu and forced Li Shi to surrender, ending the Cheng-Han dynasty.
