In 204 BC, the territory was added to theHuainan Kingdom.Two years later, Yuzhang Commandery was dissociated from Huainan. Names of the countiesNanchengandLinru,both of which then part of Yuzhang, first appeared in this period.

In 257 AD, counties Linru and Nancheng were added to a newcommandery,Linchuan. Thereafter they were divided to 10 counties including Linru, Nancheng, Xiping, Xin gian, Xicheng, Yihuang, Anpu, Nanfeng, Yongcheng, Dong xing, with the administration center in Linru County. In 522 AD, another new commandery, Bashan, was divided from Linchuan, administering 7 counties Xin gian, Xining, Bashan, Dafeng, Xin’an, Xingping, Fengcheng. Linchuan and Bashan belonged to Gao State in 557 AD. The two commanderies were replaced by Fu Prefecture (Fuzhou) in 589 AD.
