Later Shu
Wang Jingchong found excuses to delay his departure from Fengxiang, and for some time tried to order the Jingnan troops to join him. He also made overtures to Later Shu, testing out Later Shu's willingness to aid him. Meanwhile, around the same time, Li Shouzhen the military governor of Huguo Circuit (護國, headquartered in modern Yuncheng, Shanxi) rebelled and claimed the title of Prince of Qin. Wang thereafter accepted both commissions from Li Shouzhen and Later Shu, with Later Shu renaming Fengxiang to Qiyang () and making him its military governor.
