Wang Mi
Wang Mi (died November 311),
courtesy name Zigu, was a Chinese bandit leader and military general of
Han-Zhao during the
Western Jin dynasty. He participated in a rebellion led by Liu Bogen during the
War of the Eight Princes but after it was quelled, he fled to Mount Zhangguang where he became a notorious bandit and was given the nickname "Flying Leopard". After two years of banditry, he joined the
Xiongnu king,
Liu Yuan and his state of
Han in 308. He became one of the state's most important commanders in their war against the Jin, playing a crucial role in capturing
Luoyang during the
Disaster of Yongjia. However, Wang Mi's career was cut short after he was assassinated by his peer and rival
Shi Le in 311.
