Wang Zongbi (王宗弼) (died December 28, 925〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Academia Sinica Computing Center )〕〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 274.〕) was a major general of the Chinese state of Former Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Born as Wei Hongfu (魏弘夫), he was a military commander and adoptive son of the founding emperor of the Former Shu kingdom, Wang Jian. He was also known as Gu Chen (顧琛) during the time he served under Gu Yanhui around 895. Wang Zongbi continued his rise in power during the reign of Wang Jian's son Wang Yan, first as Prince of Julu and then as Prince of Qi. In 925, after Former Shu suffered a number of key defeats at the hands of an invading Later Tang army, Wang Zongbi forced Wang Yan to surrender, hoping that would allow him to retain power in the Xichuan region (西川, i.e., the region around the Former Shu capital Chengdu). However, the deputy commander of the Later Tang army, Guo Chongtao, viewed Wang Zongbi as untrustworthy and put him to death. == Early life== Wang Zongbi was born Wei Hongfu (魏弘夫). It is not known when Wei Hongfu was born, but it is known that he was from Xu Prefecture (許州) in modern Xuchang, Henan. At some point he was adopted by Wang Jian — who adopted many officers serving under him as sons — and had his name changed to Wang Zongbi. This was before 887, when Wang Jian ruled Lang Prefecture (閬州, in modern Nanchong, Sichuan) as its self-proclaimed prefect. In 887, Wang Jian decided to answer the summons of his own adoptive father, the eunuch general Tian Lingzi, to serve under Tian's brother Chen Jingxuan, who was the military governor of Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered in modern Chengdu, Sichuan). As a result, Wang Jian left most of his family with his ally Gu Yanlang, the military governor of Dongchuan Circuit (東川, headquartered in modern Mianyang, Sichuan). He headed toward Xichuan's capital Chengdu with nephew Wang Zonghui (王宗鐬) and adoptive sons Wang Zongbi, Wang Zongyao (王宗瑤), Wang Zongkan (王宗侃), Wang Zongji, and Wang Zongbian (王宗弁). Subsequently, when Chen regretted his decision and tried to stop Wang Jian from coming to Chengdu, Wang Jian broke with him,〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 257.〕 igniting a war that eventually resulted in Wang Jian's victory and seizure of Xichuan Circuit in 891.〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 258.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wang Zongbi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
