The Ran Wei–Later Zhao War, or Wei–Zhao War, was a conflict in northern China in 350 CE, during the chaotic Sixteen Kingdoms period. In 350, Ran Min proclaimed himself emperor of Wei amid the succession struggles of the Later Zhao dynasty. The Jie people, who founded the Later Zhao, did not accept Ran Min's rule and rose against him; they were joined by many other dynasties established by the Five Barbarians that also opposed Ran Min. The resulting war ended with a decisive victory for Ran Min.
