When Wèi Xiāng-zǐ died, Wèi Huán-zĭ succeeded him as leader of Wei. Together with Zhào Xiāng-zĭ and Hán Kāng-zĭ (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ), Wèi Huán-zĭ defeated Zhì Bóyáo of the State of Zhi. Afterwards the three allies divided up the Zhi territory and expanded their own state borders making them larger than the other vassal states.

After Wèi Huán-zĭ died, his son Marquess Wen of Wei became the Wei leader.
