Lái'ān

Lái'ān was a native route of the Yuán in the You River country of western Guangxi, raised from the Song military prefecture of the same name. In 1276 its prefects Lǐ Wéipíng and Cén Cóngyì submitted to the Mongols, and the route went on to oversee a cluster of small chiefdoms in the surrounding hills. Its Cén chiefs did not stay quiet: in 1319 the route commander Cén Shìxīng rose against the Yuán and held out at Tánghuǒ. After the Míng conquest the route was broken up and its lands divided between the Ānlóng office and the department of Sìchéng.
