Zi Xiang

Zi Xiang is the founder of the Jiong Dynasty, the succeeding dynasty of the Shu-Han dynasty after the Liu-Ling Rebellion.

Service under Shu-Han
Zi Xiang briefly served under Liu Bei, in the Northern Campaigns. However, he was mostly assigned to defensive posts and eventually served as the captain of the Imperial Guard. Zi Xiang served under Liu Bei's son, Liu Shan, in suppressing the Wuling Dynasty.

Zi Xian's Imprisonment
He and Zi Feng already had the intentions to rebel, and with their father's imprisonment and eventual death, they swore to avenge their father by uniting China under their rule.

Rebellion against Ling Dynasty
They called upon their elite Forest Guard, who were previously under their command and part of the Imperial Guard. 10,000 Forest Guard joined them immediately, and a further 7000 Ling troops joined after.
