King Wucheng of Yan (Chinese: 燕武成王; died 258 BC), personal name unknown, was a king of the Yan state. He ruled the kingdom between 271 BC until his death in 258 BC.[1]
In 272 BC, King Wucheng's father, King Hui, was murdered by the powerful chancellor Gongsun Cao (公孫操).[2] King Wucheng was crowned as the new Yan king. In the same year, Yan was attacked by a joint expedition of the forces of Han, Wei and Chu states.[3] In 265 BC, Yan lost a battle against the troops of the Qi state led by Tian Dan.[4] King Wucheng died in 258 BC, and was succeeded by his son, King Xiao.[3][1]
