Jia of Wei

Wei Jia, commonly known as "Jia, King of Wei" (; died 225 BC?),

Jia, the son of King Jingmin, ascended to the throne after his father's death. In 225 BC, a Qin army led by Wang Ben invaded Wei. Wen Ben directed the waters from the Yellow River and the Hong Canal (鴻溝) to inundate the capital of Wei, Daliang (present-day Kaifeng). Three months later, the city wall was destroyed, and Jia had to surrender. His fate was not mentioned in the Records of the Grand Historian. However, according to Biographies of Exemplary Women and Zizhi Tongjian, he was executed by the Qin army.
