Battle Of Luoyang (328–329)
The Battle of Luoyang was fought between the state of Later Zhao against the state of Former Zhao from August 328 to 21 January 329 during the Sixteen Kingdoms period in China. It concluded in a decisive victory for the Later Zhao and the capture of the Former Zhao emperor, Liu Yao, all but ensuring the Later Zhao's domination over northern China for the next 19 years. Background In 319, after the defeat of Jin Zhun's rebellion, tension between the newly ascended Emperor of Han, Liu Yao and his general, Shi Le led to the split of the empire. Liu Yao had moved the capital west from Pingyang to his base in Chang'an the previous year, where he renamed the dynasty to Zhao.

Sixteen Kingdoms
The Sixteen Kingdoms (), less commonly the Sixteen States, was a chaotic period in Chinese history from AD 304 to 439 when northern China fragmented into a series of short-lived dynastic states. The majority of these states were founded by the "Five Barbarians", non- Han peoples who had settled in northern and western China during the preceding centuries, and had launched a series of rebellions against the Western Jin dynasty in the early 4th century. However, several of the states were founded by the Han people, and all of the states—whether ruled by Xiongnu, Xianbei, Di, Jie, Qiang, Han, or others—took on Han-style dynastic names. The states frequently fought against both one another and the Eastern Jin dynasty, which succeeded the Western Jin in 317 and ruled southern China. The period ended with the unification of northern China in 439 by the Northern Wei, a dynasty established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan. This occurred 19 years after the Eastern Jin collapsed i ...
