Editing Northern Wei (section)

=== War with Southern Qi ===
In 479, [[Xiao Daocheng]] usurped the throne of Liu Song and became emperor of the new [[Southern Qi]] dynasty. Upon hearing the news, the Northern Wei emperor prepared to invade under the pretext of installing Liu Chang, son of [[Emperor Wen of Song]] who had been in exile in Wei since 465 AD.

Wei troops began to attack [[Shouyang]] but could not take the city. The Southern Qi began to fortify their capital, Jiankang in order to prevent further Wei raids.

Multiple sieges and skirmishes were fought until 481 but the war was without any major campaign. A peace treaty was signed in 490 with the [[Emperor Wu of Southern Qi|Emperor Wu]].
