The conquest of the Duan was a joint campaign by the alliance of Later Zhao and Former Yan against the Duan-Liaoxi duchy from January to April 338. The campaign ended in victory for the alliance and destruction of the Duan tribe's power in the northeast. However, after the campaign, the Zhao and Yan alliance immediately broke down, leading to the subsequent Battle of Jicheng.
