Xianbei Confederation Fractures

181 CE · Doğu Moğolistan · political

After the death of Tanshihuai his son was unable to gather authority; the confederation split into three main branches: the Murong (east), the Tuoba/Tabgach (west-centre) and the Yuwen (north-east).

While this fragmentation caused weakness against China, it also laid the ground for each branch to found its own state — from the Tuoba branch in particular the Northern Wei state would emerge.
