Zhang Fang
Zhang Fang (died February 306) was a military general of the
Jin dynasty (266–420). He was the influential general of the Prince of Hejian,
Sima Yong during the
War of the Eight Princes who helped him in subduing the Prince of Changshan,
Sima Ai, and had the imperial family briefly under his control in 304. Though capable, he was infamous for his transgressions against the emperor and the cruelty that he and his soldiers displayed, with one account claiming that he had them engage in
cannibalism. His act of forcibly moving
Emperor Hui of Jin from
Luoyang to
Chang'an provided the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue and his allies with pretext to start a coalition to punish him and Sima Yong in 305. In a desperate attempt to settle for peace, Sima Yong had Zhang Fang assassinated the following year.
