In 562 ad, he gathered troops from 11 countries, including song, Lu, Wei and Liu, to attack Zheng. Lin Jian Gong was defeated and surrendered. He sent a large number of gifts to the state of Jin, including 100 military chariots, several musicians, a number of valuable musical instruments and 16 women who were good at singing and dancing. The Duke of mourning in Jin Dynasty was very happy and gave half of these gifts to Wei Jiang, saying, "Wei Jiang, it was you who advised me to make peace with Rong and Di, and stabilized the Central Plains countries. In the past eight years, we have convened nine alliances among the vassals of various countries. Now our relations with other countries are as harmonious as a beautiful piece of music. Zheng sent so many gifts, let me share them with you! "Wei Jiang said," it's a blessing for our country to get along well with di and Rong.
