Murong Hong
Murong Hong (Chinese: 慕容泓; died 384) was the founder of the Xianbei-led Western Yan dynasty of China.By 384, he was the secretary general to the commandery governor of Beidi (北地, roughly modern Tongchuan, Shaanxi).He fled from his post and gathered several thousand Xianbei soldiers and, after defeating the Former Qin general Qiang Yong (強永), claimed for himself the titles of supreme commander and governor of Yong Province (雍州, modern central and northern Shaanxi), but did not claim a more honored regal title than the one he had under Former Yan—Prince of Jibei.Meanwhile, his younger brother Murong Chong had also rebelled against Former Qin, but after a defeat joined his army.Murong Hong therefore advanced on Chang'an and officially broke from Former Qin by changing the era name.
