Ge Rong

Ge Rong (simplified Chinese: 葛荣; traditional Chinese: 葛榮; pinyin: Gé Róng; died 528) was a Xianbei rebel of the Northern Wei during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Initially a commander for one of the Six Garrisons, he later became the leader of a rebellion in Hebei and declared himself the Emperor of Qi. Among the rebel groups during the final years of the Northern Wei, Ge Rong commanded the largest and brought the uprising in Hebei to its peak intensity. However, he was soon defeated by an elite force under Erzhu Rong at the Battle of Fukou, where he was captured and subsequently sent to Luoyang for execution.
