The Battle of Xiangguo (simplified Chinese: 襄国之战; traditional Chinese: 襄國之戰; pinyin: Xiāngguó zhī zhàn) was fought between the state of Ran Wei and the allied forces of Later Zhao and Former Yan from roughly November 350 to May 351 AD during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of China. The battle concluded in victory for the alliance, but the Prince of Zhao, Shi Zhi, was soon assassinated, ending 32 years of Later Zhao rule in northern China.
