up the Battle of Fei River. In the battle, the Qin forces were tricked into making a panicked and unorganized retreat, scattering the troops for the Jin soldiers led by Xie Xuan to easily dispatch. Qin lost the battle with heavy casualties, but in their retreat, Zhang Ci managed to repel Xie Shi from pursuing them. Post-Fei River Fu Jian returned to the north defeated. He ordered Zhang Ci to return to Bingzhou with only 5,000 Palace Guards to defend and maintain peace in the province. When Murong Chui, Murong Chong and Yao Chang rebelled against the state in 384, Fu Jian's prince Fu Pi asked for Zhang Ci to march out from Jinyang and reinforce him. However, Zhang could not do anything to help him due to his insufficient number of troops. After Fu Jian was captured and killed by Yao Chang in 385, Zhang Ci and Wang Teng invited Fu Pi to their base in Jinyang. Fu Pi appointed Zhang Ci as Palace Attendant and Minister of Works. During this time, Zhang Ci was sought by the Xiongnu chieftain, Liu Toujuan (劉頭眷) to quell the rebelling Xianbei Bai (鮮卑皆) tribes. The two attacked their leader, Jiefu (絜佛) and routed him. In 386, Zhang Ci was appointed as Grand Commandant. Nothing else is recorded about Zhang Ci from this point on. References Fang, Xuanling (ed.) (648). Book of Jin (Jin Shu). Sima, Guang (1084).
