While Yue Fue was harassing the Jin retreat in the east, civil unrest gripped the area around Lake Dongting in Central China. The area was strategically important because it covered the west flank of the Song, providing access to the Sichuan basin. The source of unrest stemmed from a local strongman and sorcerer named Zhong Xiang, who professed an ability to heal illness and began to attract a large following.
