Shi Chaoyi

Shi Chaoyi (史朝義) (died before 17 February 763[2]) was the final emperor of the Yan state that was established in Anshi rebellion against the Chinese Tang dynasty.

He was the oldest son of Shi Siming, former subordinate of An Lushan, and he overthrew and then killed his father in a coup d'état in 761 and took over as emperor.

However, he could not gain the allegiance of his father's subordinates, and was eventually defeated by the joint forces of the Tang dynasty and the Uyghur Khaganate.

That night, Luo led 300 soldiers and ambushed Shi Siming, binding him and then beginning a return to Luoyang with the troops.

However, not until winter 762, when Tang forces were aided by the Uyghur Khaganate's Dengli Khan, did Luoyang fall.

Shi Chaoyi left Luoyang and fled, but his generals, including Zhang Xiancheng (張獻誠), Xue Song, Zhang Zhongzhi, Tian Chengsi, Li Huaixian, and Li Baozhong (李抱忠), successively turned against him when he turned to them for aid.

He wanted to flee to the Xi or the Khitan, but on the way, in spring 763, he was intercepted by troops sent by Li Huaixian to capture him.
