Wang Mang makes another attempt in 16 to intimidate the Xiyu kingdoms back into submission, but the armies are divided and cut off from each other.
One army is wiped out entirely; the other is forced to withdraw to Qiuzi (in modern Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang) with its way back to Xin proper cut off.
The army settles here and will be unable to return for the duration of the Xin Dynasty.
