釋氏稽古略 1.405

1.405

Named Yan. Son of King Shenjing. Reigned for 59 years. Zhou was governed separately as East and West, and was encroached upon by the feudal lords. In the fifty-ninth year of King Nan, which was the fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin general Jiu attacked Han and attacked Zhao. King Nan was afraid and betrayed Qin, forging a vertical alliance with the feudal lords and leading the crack troops of the realm out of Yique to attack Qin, cutting off their access to Yangcheng. Qin sent General Jiu to attack Western Zhou. King Nan went to Qin, kowtowed, and surrendered all of his thirty-six settlements. Qin accepted his surrender and sent King Nan back to Zhou. In this year King Nan passed away (the above dates follow the Spring and Autumn period).
