The **Xincheng Rebellion** was a revolt that took place in the state of [Cao Wei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cao_Wei) between late 227[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xincheng_Rebellion#cite_note-Start_date-1) and early 228 CE[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xincheng_Rebellion#cite_note-End_date-3) during the [Three Kingdoms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms) period. The rebellion was initiated by [Meng Da](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Da), a former [Shu Han](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shu_Han) general who defected to Wei and was placed in charge of Xincheng [Commandery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandery_\(China\)) (located in the vicinity of present-day northwestern [Hubei](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubei)) in [Jing Province](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jing_Province). The revolt was swiftly suppressed within a month by the Wei general [Sima Yi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sima_Yi). Meng Da was captured and executed.
