In 328 he captured the capital and kidnapped the emperor, but then fell before the counterthrust of the Yü Liang party.

This family came from the same city as the imperial house and was a very old gentry family of that city.
A man never knew what was coming next. It was just a damned scramble! A disorderly scramble in which a man could be sure of getting hurt. He wondered if that were really true. Thrust and Counterthrust
