 The prefect of Kui Prefecture, Wang Chengxian (), despite the refusal by his superior Wang Zongshou () the Prince of Jia (Wang Jian's nephew) to provide supplies, was able to repel the Jingnan attack.When he subsequently tried to submit a secret report to Wang Jian accusing Wang Zongshou of holding back supplies, though, Wang Zongshou intercepted the report, arrested him, and executed him.Later in the year, Wang considered reacting by destroying a dam to flood Jingnan, but at Mao's urging, under the argument that there would be too many civilian casualties, he did not do so.
