The [[Southern Tang]], fresh from its conquest of the [[Min (Ten Kingdoms)|Min Kingdom]], took advantage and conquered the kingdom in 951. The ruling family was removed to the [[Southern Tang]] capital of [[Nanjing|Jinling]]. However, the following year, Chu generals rose against Southern Tang and expelled the Southern Tang expeditionary force, leaving the former Chu territory to be ruled by several of those generals called '''Wuping [[Jiedushi]]''' (武平军节度使) in succession. |
