Chapter 2 2. Small split

In this century, the fate of the Chinese people is even more miserable than in the last (ninth) century.From the Anlushan Mutiny in the middle of the eighth century to the end of the ninth century, it lasted for 145 years; I have always believed that whether it is extremely certain or not, the crisis is the turning point, and the disaster will always pass. Unexpectedly, since the 1960s, China has fallen into a dark age until the 10th century. At the beginning of the tenth century, the long-ill Tang Dynasty finally perished.China was divided by separatist regimes, we call it the "Era of Minor Separation", which is the symmetry of the "Era of Great Separation".Second, the split period was shorter, only seventy-three years.In the era of the small division, five short-lived empires were established in the Central Plains, and eleven short-lived empires, short-lived kingdoms, or short-lived political entities were established in other lands, so it is also called the "Era of Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms".Everywhere you look, nothing but war is still war; nothing but hunger is still hunger; nothing but killing is still killing.Emperors, generals and ministers are nothing but a group of wild beasts.

It was not until the Song Dynasty unified China in the 1970s that the people took a breather, but the territory was two-thirds smaller than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After the catastrophe, China will no longer be as glorious as before. 1. In spring, on the first day of the first lunar month, Wang Jian (the first patriarch) of the former Shu Empire (the capital of Chengdu) climbed to Xingyi Tower.A Buddhist monk dug out an eyeball and presented it as a blessing. Wang Jianda was moved and ordered to entertain 10,000 monks for a meal in return.Zhang Ge, the Royal Literature Research Officer (Academic Bachelor), said: "The little man hurts his body for no reason, and he should be severely punished! Now he is lucky enough to pardon him and not punish him, but to praise him is even more so." Immoral." Wang Jiancai stopped moving.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Wang Jian ordered Wei Zhuang to be the deputy chief supervisor (Menxia Shilang) and second-level real prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi). On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Wang Jian went to the southern suburbs of the capital (Chengdu Prefecture) to worship the gods. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Jian issued an edict of amnesty, and changed the name of the reign to Wucheng (before it was the eighth year of Tianfu, and then it was the first year of Wucheng). 2. Li Keyong, King of Jin (Taiyuan Prefecture, the capital), had a malignant sore on his head and was seriously ill.Zhou Dewei (commander of the Luzhou reinforcements) and others retreated to Luanliu (southeast of Qin County, Shanxi Province. Reinforcement of Luzhou, refer to June last year).Li Keyong ordered his younger brother Li Kening, the commander-in-chief of the internal and external Fan Han (both inside and outside the Fan Han to know the soldiers and horse envoys), the commander (Jiedu envoy) of the Zhenwu Theater (headquartered in Shuozhou), and the eunuch (supervising the army) ) Zhang Chengye, generals Li Cunzhang, Wu Gong, and confidential secretary (secretary) Lu Zhi, worked together to assist his son, governor of Jinzhou (Linfen City, Shanxi Province) (empty official title. At this time Jinzhou belonged to the Houliang) Li Cunxu succeeded to the throne . (Sima Guang's "Kaoyi": ""The History of the Five Dynasties" said: "Folk legend: Li Keyong handed three arrows to Li Cunxu when he was dying, and said: "The first arrow will attack Liu Rengong, if you don't conquer You first State, south of the Yellow River is impossible. The second arrow attacked the Khitan tribe. Yelu Abaoji made an oath to the sky with me, swore to be brothers, and vowed to rebuild the Tang Dynasty to the death. Suddenly, he broke the alliance and returned to Houliang. You must defeat him. The third Shoot an arrow to destroy Zhu Wen. If you can accomplish these three things, I will die without hatred." Li Cunxu hid the three arrows in Li Keyong's sacrificial temple. Later, when he attacked Liu Rengong, he ordered his officials to take out the three arrows after the sacrificial sacrifice of Shaolao. One arrow, put it in a beautiful quiver, and send a close general to carry it on his back as a forward. On the day of triumph, with the head of the captive presented, send the arrow back to the temple used by Li Ke. Crusade Khitan, destroy the back beam, They all use this method.” Examining the "Old History of the Five Dynasties Khitan Biography" records: "When Li Cunxu first succeeded to the throne, he sent envoys to Khitan to mourn, and bribed gold silk and satin, and asked to send troops to rescue Luzhou. Wang became a brother by sworn brother, and his son is my son. There is no reason for my father not to help his son! The army was allowed. But the siege of Luzhou was lifted shortly before the action was stopped. "Guangben" said: "Liu Shouguang was killed by Liu Shouwen Li Cunxu sent 5,000 troops for reinforcements. According to this, Li Cunxu did not oppose Khitan and Liu Shouguang at all. Therefore, there is a legend that after Li Cunxu succeeded, later generations fabricated the scene of Li Keyong's death, boasting Li Cunxu is just a young hero.") Li Keyong emphasized: "This kid has a great vision and a broad mind. He will definitely accomplish my great things. You must help and teach him!"

On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Li Keyong told Li Cunxu: "Sizhao is trapped in an isolated city, in great danger (Li Sizhao was trapped in Luzhou, refer to May last year), I have no time to see him again, and when I am buried, you and De Wei (Zhou Dewei) must do our best to rescue him!" He also told Li Kening and others: "I entrust you with Yazi!" Yazi was Li Cunxu's baby name.After Li Keyong finished speaking, he passed away (he was fifty-three years old this year).Li Kening took over the military administration of the headquarters, and no one dared to take the opportunity to make trouble, no matter inside or outside.

Li Kening has held military power for a long time, and has the possibility of his brother becoming a brother and succeeding his elder brother.At that time, the siege of Shangdang (the county where the government of Luzhou Prefecture is located, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province) was still under siege. The officers and soldiers believed that Li Cunxu was still young (Li Cunxu was 24 years old this year), and many people whispered to each other and discussed in private. The morale of the army was shaken. .Li Cunxu was afraid, so he gave the title to his uncle Li Kening. Li Kening said: "You are the eldest son, and you should inherit, not to mention the order of the late king, who dares to disobey!" , Zhang Chengye went to the mourning hall and said to Li Cunxu: "The greatest filial piety is to complete the father's career. What's the use of crying!" Jin Wang title. (Hu Sansheng's note: "Zhang Chengye helped Li Cunxu, just like Zhang Zhao helped Sun Quan.") Li Kening took the lead and led the generals to kowtow to congratulate, and Li Cunxu handed over all the military and political affairs of the headquarters to Li Kening.

Li Cunxu ordered Li Cunzhang to be the Commander of the Army City of the Hedong Theater (Hedong Army City Envoy) and the Chief Inspector of the Infantry and Cavalry (Yuhou of Mabudu).During Li Keyong's time, he trusted the barbarians, indulged the officers and soldiers, and tried his best to tolerate them oppressing civilians and plundering the market; In just ten days and a half months, the order in the city completely returned to normal. 3. King Wuyue (the first king of Wusu and the capital Hangzhou) Qian Liu (57 years old this year), sent troops to attack Hongnong (capital Yangzhou) Ganlu Town (northeast of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) to relieve Xinzhou (Jiangxi Province) Shangrao City, Province) under pressure (the Hongnong army attacked Xinzhou, refer to December last year).

4. Wang Zongji (Gan Zongji), the supreme legislator of the former Shu (Zhongshuling), was the oldest among all adopted sons ("The Spring and Autumn Period of the Ten Kingdoms·Wang Zongji Biography": Wang Jian was captured when he was a soldier in Zhongwu. The youngest son of the Gan family adopted him as a adopted son, and when he grew up, he made many achievements), relying on his achievements, he was authoritarian and arrogant, arrogant and self-willed.Tang Daoxi has been promoted to the commander of the Imperial Staff Headquarters (private envoy), but Wang Zongji still calls his name instead of his official title (During the Tang Dynasty, "private envoy" was translated as "chief eunuch of the palace confidential room" From the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms period, the titles of many official positions remained the same, but their duties had been changed, and their natures were also different. In order to be more realistic, the new titles were translated. For example, the post of "private envoy" was replaced by ordinary people, who specialized in military affairs, and their status gradually changed. Equal to the prime minister, sometimes even higher, refer to April 1923), Tang Daoxi hated him deeply, but on the surface he became more respectful and cautious towards Wang Zongji.Wang Zongji has a wide range of friends and gathers friends to form cliques. Wang Jian is also very disgusted in his heart.

On February 3, Wang Jian promoted Wang Zongji to be a Grand Master (one of the three divisions) and deprived him of his military power.In addition, Zhang Ge, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council (Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs) was appointed as Deputy Legislative Chief (Minister of Zhongshu) and second-level prime minister.After Zhang Ge became prime minister, he catered to Wang Jian's will everywhere, and would do everything possible to exclude those who were more capable than himself. 5. In the beginning, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, adopted many warriors and athletes in the army as adopted sons. four years in May).Now, Li Cunxu inherited the official title, and the other adoptive sons were all older than Li Cunxu, and they all held military power. Everyone was depressed and couldn't let go. Some claimed to be sick and recuperated at home, and some did not salute the new king.Li Kening holds great power and has a high status (he is Li Cunxu's uncle), and the army hopes that he can inherit it. The adopted son Li Cunhao (sound Hao) secretly lobbied Li Kening, saying: "Old brother dies, and younger brother takes over. This has been the case since ancient times. What's more, the uncle kowtows to his nephew, how can it be reasonable in theory! God gave it to you, but you refused, and it was too late to regret it." Li Kening said: "Our Li family has been famous all over the country for generations (Li Keyong is very kind to the elders) Father Li Guochang is extremely filial). As long as the achievements of the former king can be handed over to the right person to inherit, what more do I ask for! Don’t stir up dissension and watch me chop off your head!” Li Kening’s wife, Ms. Zisui sent their wives to Li Kening's house to lobby Ms. Meng, and Ms. Meng agreed, considering that the leak of the conspiracy would lead to disaster, so she kept forcing Li Kening to do it.Li Kening has a weak temperament, surrounded and incited by everyone day and night, so he couldn't help but be a little tempted.And Li Kening disagreed with Zhang Chengye and Li Cunzhang, and repeatedly ridiculed and reprimanded them.Soon, Li Kening killed Li Cunzhi, the chief prosecutor (Marquis of Duyu) without authorization.Li Kening requested to set up another Datong Theater (the Datong Theater was abolished in the late Tang Dynasty and merged into the Hedong Theater), and he would serve as the commander to govern Wei (Wei County, Hebei Province), Shuo (Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province), and Ying (Ying (Shanxi Province) County) Tri-State.Li Cunxu respected his decision.

Li Cunhao and others designed for Li Kening: take advantage of Li Cunxu's visit to his home to launch a coup, kill Zhang Chengye and Li Cunzhang, support Li Kening as the commander of the theater, and donate nine state capitals (Taiyuan, Liao, Lin, Fen, Shi) in the Hedong theater. , Xin, Dai, Lan, Xian), surrendered to Houliang, captured Li Cunxu alive, together with Mrs. Tai (Li Keyong's wife) Ms. Cao, and sent them to Daliang (the city where Kaifeng, the capital of Houliang, is located).Shi Jingrong, a native of Taiyuan, followed Li Keyong since he was a child and worked at the headquarters, and was loved and trusted very much.Li Kening intends to find out the secrets of the palace, so he summons Shi Jingrong and tells him the secret plan.On the surface, Shi Jingrong promised to cooperate, but as soon as he entered the palace, he reported to Ms. Cao. Ms. Cao was shocked, and immediately summoned Zhang Chengye, pointed to Li Cunxu and said to him: "The former king held this child's arm and gave it to you. If you listen I went outside to plot a coup d'etat and wanted to change my position. As long as we put our mother and son in one place, I would be satisfied. Don't send them to Daliang. I dare not ask for more." Zhang Chengye said in fear: "Even if this old slave dies, he will carry out the order of the former king. Mrs. Tai How do you say this?" Li Cunxu told him Li Kening's conspiracy, and said: "Flesh and blood are close relatives, and we should not kill each other. If I resign, chaos can be avoided." Zhang Chengye said: "Li Kening intends to throw the king's mother and son into the tiger's mouth. If you don’t get rid of him, how can you be safe.” So they summoned Li Cunzhang, Wu Gong, his adopted son Li Cunjing, and Zhu Shouyin, commander of the standing army base of the headquarters (changzhi military envoy), and ordered them to secretly prepare for a counter-coup.

On February 21st, Li Cunxu arranged a banquet in the palace of the king's palace for the generals of the army. When an ambush broke out, Li Kening and Li Cunhao were arrested on their seats.Li Cunxu wept bitterly and reprimanded Li Kening, saying: "My nephew gave up the title to my uncle from the very beginning, but my uncle himself refused. Now that the event has been settled, why do we use this kind of conspiracy to hand over our mother and son to the enemy!" Li Kening Said: "This is all ambitious people fanning the flames. What else can I say when things are like this." On the same day, Li Kening and Li Cunhao were beheaded.

Bo Yang said: Politically, once a person becomes the target of the bearer, as a resource for prosperity and wealth, it is impossible for him not to be carried on the sedan chair.There is an old saying: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop", which is used to mourn the early death of their parents. Just get on the sedan chair.The bearer does not have the ability to be the boss for the time being, so I hope that after others become the boss, he will be the second or third child.They have four magic weapons. Once sacrificed, the "gold master" who is being carried will definitely get on the sedan chair obediently.This magic weapon is actually very simple, just tell the boss: 1, the people of the country need you; 2, we swear allegiance to you to the death; Sedan, don't blame my brothers for being ruthless. There have also been people who refused to get on the sedan chair in history. The most violent one was Qiao Zong, the king of Western Shu. Under the circumstances, he still had to stagger into the sedan chair.The same is true for Li Kening in the tenth century and Yuan Shikai in the twentieth century. After tossing for a while, they are still under the baton of a group of bearers, moving their lotus steps lightly, twitching, and sitting on the sedan chair.There seems to be only one hero who refused to succeed, and that was Cao Cao, who scolded Sun Quan who persuaded him to become emperor, saying: "This boy wants to make me sit on the stove!" (Refer to December 219) If a person puts Experts in lifting sedan chairs and experts in burning stoves should be regarded as the same species. Don’t escalate your desires casually, don’t deviate too much from the normal course, and don’t get itchy as soon as you see the buttocks of a sedan chair. There will be fewer scandals, tragedies, and farces in the world. 6. On February 22, Emperor Zhu Quanzhong (57 years old this year) of the Later Liang Dynasty sent people to Caozhou (Dingtao County, Shandong Province) to poison the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty (the 25th emperor) Li Huo (Li Zuo, seventeen years old this year), posthumous title: Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty. 7. On February 23, the former Shu army captured Guizhou (Zigui County, Hubei Province), and captured the governor Zhang Tang alive. 8. On February 30, the Houliang government appointed Han Jian as the chief supervisor (servant) and the director of the logistics headquarters (also the envoy of Jianchang Palace). 9. Li Si'an, the commander-in-chief of the Houliang Task Force Corps, had besieged Luzhou for a long time and could not conquer it (seven months since August last year). The soldiers were exhausted and fled in large numbers.Jin State (capital Taiyuan Prefecture) reinforcements are still stationed in Yuwu Village (northwest of Tunliu County, Shanxi Province).Zhu Quanzhong suspected that Li Keyong was pretending to be dead, and planned to recall the besieging army. Fearing that the Jin army would pursue him, he considered personally going to Zezhou (Jincheng City, Shanxi Province) to take over the squadron. Zezhou. On March 1, Zhu Quanzhong set off from Daliang. On March 6, Zhu Quanzhong arrived in Zezhou. On March 10, Liu Zhijun also arrived in Zezhou. On March 11, Zhu Quanzhong ordered Liu Zhijun to be the commander of the Luzhou Task Force (Luzhou Camp Recruitment Envoy). 10. On March 22, Zhang Wenwei, Deputy Superintendent of Houliang (Menxia Shilang), second-level de facto prime minister, passed away. 11. Zhu Quanzhong, Emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty (the first Taizu), had no credit for Li Si'an, but more than 40 generals were killed in battle, and the deaths of soldiers were also calculated in tens of thousands.In the end, the camp was closed even more tightly, and instead of attacking, Zhu Quanzhong sent someone to summon Li Si'an to the place where the emperor was (Zhu Quanzhong was in Zezhou at this time). On March 23, Zhu Quanzhong issued an edict to deprive Li Si'an of all his titles, and escorted him back to his hometown for hard labor; he beheaded the chief officer (in prison) Yang Minzhen. Li Sizhao, the guard general of Luzhou in the state of Jin, has been guarding the city for a New Year's Eve, and the supplies in the city are about to run out. Li Sizhao once entertained the generals in the city tower, drinking for fun, and shot a stray arrow, which hit Li Sizhao's foot. With great enthusiasm, he unplugged it secretly, but no one in the room noticed.Zhu Quanzhong sent envoys several times to bring edicts to Li Sizhao, asking him to surrender. Li Sizhao burned the edicts and beheaded the envoys. Zhu Quanzhong stayed in Zezhou for more than ten days, intending to lift the siege of Luzhou. First, he sent envoys to discuss with the generals of the task force. The county where the state government is located) is an isolated city. There is no food inside and no reinforcements outside. It is impossible to support it for a long time. It is recommended to continue the siege for another ten and a half months to observe the changes.Zhu Quanzhong agreed and ordered to increase the food and grass supplies of the task force.Liu Zhijun led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to launch an attack on the Jin army, killing and capturing many people. He sent Zhu Quanzhong to ask him to stay and continue to attack Shangdang, and suggested that Zhu Quanzhong return to the capital first.Considering the emptiness in Guanzhong (central part of Shaanxi Province), Zhu Quanzhong was afraid that the army of Qi State (the capital Fengxiang Prefecture) would invade Tong (Dali County, Shaanxi Province) and Hua (Hua County, Shaanxi Province), so he ordered Liu Zhijun to stop advancing, and first ordered his eldest son (Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province) to invade the two prefectures. Zhangzi County, Shanxi Province) rested for ten days, retreated to Jinzhou, waited until May, and then returned to the war zone (Kuanguo). 12. The former Shu Taishi (one of the three divisions) Wang Zongji was dismissed from the position of prime minister (refer to February 3rd of this year), resentful, secretly recruited death squad warriors, prepared to launch a coup, and sent to the former Shu emperor (one term) Gaozu) Wang Jian said: "In public, I am a high-ranking official of the empire; in private, I am the eldest son of His Majesty; the empire's fortunes and misfortunes are synchronized with me. Now, who the crown prince is has not yet been decided, and he will definitely become The source of the turmoil. If your majesty thinks that Zong Yi (the second son of Wang Jian) ​​can inherit the great cause, it is best to be canonized as soon as possible, and I will be the marshal to command all the armed forces in the country. If your majesty thinks that the world is still in turmoil, I am afraid that Zong Yi I'm still young and can't bear it. How can I refuse to take on more important responsibilities in order to show humility! Since your Majesty has already faced the south and officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it is best to leave the military affairs to your subordinates. I suggest that I appoint a marshal Mansion, casting the seal of the six armies, regardless of conquest and dispatch, I will do it arbitrarily. The Crown Prince will greet His Majesty sooner or later in the palace, and I will command the army outside the palace and protect the surroundings. The foundation of all generations can be established, please Your Majesty rule." When Wang Jian saw it, he was furious, but he still endured it and did not attack; he asked Tang Daoxi for his opinion, and Tang Daoxi replied: "Zongji has a high prestige, and government officials are afraid of him, and he can control all generals." .” Wang Jian was even more skeptical. On March 28th, Wang Zongji entered the palace for an audience. His words and expressions were fierce and arrogant. Wang Jian couldn't listen to all kinds of explanations he gave him, and Wang Zongji refused to back down. Wang Jian was so angry that he ordered the guards to take Wang Zongji Ji culled in court.His henchman and deputy chief inspector (Yushi Zhongcheng) Zheng Qian was demoted to Weizhou (Li County, Sichuan Province) household registration officer (Sihu), and Li Gang, deputy minister of the ordnance supply department (Wei Wei Shaoqing), was demoted to Wenchuan (Sichuan Province) Provincial Wenchuan County) county government defense officer (wei).Halfway through their tenure, Wang Jian ordered the two to commit suicide. 13. In the end, Li Keyong, the former king of Jin, died, and Zhou Dewei led an army to station in other places (withdrawing from Kongliu, refer to the first month of this year). Everyone was suspicious and uneasy.The new Jin Wang Li Cunxu ordered Zhou Dewei to be the teacher. In summer, on April 1, Zhou Dewei arrived in Jinyang (the county where the capital Taiyuan Mansion is located), left the army outside the city, walked into the mansion alone, and wept bitterly on Li Keyong's coffin, feeling extremely sad.After quitting, when I met Li Cunxu, I was so respectful that everyone put a stone in their hearts and fell to the ground. 14. On April 3rd, Yang She, deputy supervisor of Houliang (Menxia Shilang) and second-level de facto prime minister, was demoted to the right highest executive of the State Council (Youpushe); Yu Jing was the deputy legislator (Zhongshu Shilang), and Zhang Ce, the president of the Royal Academy of Letters (Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi), was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice of the State Council (the Minister of Punishment).Yu Jing is Yu Cong's nephew (Yu Cong, former prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, refer to February 872). 15. Houliang "Jiazhai" (Houliang army camp, refer to August 12th last year) reported: "Yuwuzhai Jin army has retreated." Zhu Quanzhong believed that reinforcements would never come again, and Luzhou would definitely be conquered. On April 6th, Zhu Quanzhong returned from the south of Zezhou. On April 12, Zhu Quanzhong arrived in Daliang.The Houliang "Jiazhai" army believed that victory was imminent, so they no longer took strict precautions.Jin Wang Li Cunxu discussed with the generals and said: "Shangdang is the barrier of Hedong (headquarters in Taiyuan). Without Shangdang, there would be no Hedong. Zhu Wen (Zhu Quanzhong) was only afraid of the king. You must think that I am only a young man who does not know how to lead troops to fight, so I must be arrogant. If we choose a group of elite troops, march forward by force, and make a lightning attack, we will definitely defeat them by surprise. Spread the prestige and establish supremacy. Just look at this time, the opportunity must not be lost." Zhang Chengye also advised Li Cunxu to act.So Li Cunxu sent Zhang Chengye and the executive officer (council) Wang Jian to ask Qi State to send troops for assistance. He also sent envoys to present a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Yelu Abaoji, the chief of the Khitan tribe (Wangting Xilou City), and asked for cavalry support.King Qi (the first king of Zhongjing) Li Maozhen (Song Wentong) is old (he is fifty-three years old), the army is weak, and the people are exhausted and unable to respond.Li Cunxu expanded his review of his subordinate officers and soldiers, and appointed Ding Hui, the former commander of the Zhaoyi War Zone (headquartered in Luzhou) (Ding Hui surrendered, refer to December 1906) as the commander of the general expedition (du recruit envoy). On April 24, Ding Hui led Zhou Dewei and others to set off from Jinyang. 16. The Hongnong army attacked Shishou (Shishou City, Hubei Province), which belonged to Houliang, and the Houliang Shannandongdao Theater (headquartered in Xiangzhou) sent troops to fight, and defeated the Hongnong army in Hongang (northeast of Shishou City). Hongnong then sent general Li Hou (former general of Sun Ru's department, refer to April 1895) to lead a naval force of 15,000 people to attack Houliang's Jingnan theater (headquarters in Jiangling Prefecture), Gao Jichang (Jingnan commander) to fight, Defeat Li Hou at Matou (the south bank of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province). 17. On April 29th, Jin Wang Li Cunxu led his army to the south and arrived at Huangnian (northwest of Lucheng County, Shanxi Province), 45 miles away from Shangdang. On May 1st, Li Cunxu set up an ambush at Sancigang (west of Lucheng County).In the early morning of the next day (May 2), Li Cunxu continued to advance until "Jiazhai". "Jiazhai" had no scouts at all, and the soldiers were sleeping with their heads covered. They hadn't woken up when they suddenly found that the Jin army was approaching, and the whole camp was in chaos.Li Cunxu ordered Zhou Dewei and Li Siyuan to divide their troops into two groups. Zhou Dewei attacked the northwest corner of "Jiazhai", and Li Siyuan attacked the northeast corner of "Jiazhai". Jiazhai"; Hou Liang's army collapsed in an instant and fled south for their lives.Fu Daozhao, the commander of conquest and suppression (recruitment envoy), fell down on his horse and was killed by the Jin army.The losses of the generals and soldiers of Houliang were calculated in tens of thousands, and the discarded materials, food, and weapons were piled up like mountains. Zhou Dewei waited until the foot of Luzhou city, and called Li Sizhao, the guard on the tower, saying: "The former king has passed away, and now the king (Li Cunxu) has come in person to break through Jiazhai. The bandits (Houliang army) have escaped, so you can open the city gate!" Li Sizhao said no. Believe it (people who have been suffering for too long have the right not to believe in good news), and said to the left and right: "This man must have been captured by the enemy, and sent him to deceive me!" If you really come, can we meet?" Li Cunxu personally went to the city to call, and Li Sizhao saw Li Cunxu wearing a white helmet and knew that Li Keyong was dead, so he wailed in grief and almost fainted, and the whole city cried bitterly, so he opened the city gate. At first, Zhou Dewei and Li Sizhao were at odds. When Li Keyong was dying, he said to Li Cunxu: "Jintong is both loyal and filial. I love him the most, but he still can't get rid of the siege today. Could it be that Dewei can't forget the old grievances and refuse to do his best to rescue him? You tell Dewei what I mean. If the siege of Luzhou is not lifted, I will not close my eyes even if I die." Jintong is Li Sizhao's childhood name.Li Cunxu told Zhou Dewei, and Zhou Dewei was moved to tears. The battle of "Jiazhai" was unparalleled.After meeting Li Sizhao, the two reconciled. Kang Huaizhen (general of the Later Liang Dynasty) fled back from Tianjing Pass (south of Jincheng City, Shanxi Province) with more than 100 cavalry.Zhu Quanzhong was shocked when he heard that "Jiazhai" fell, stayed for a while, and sighed: "You should have a son like Li Yazi (Li Cunxu's nickname), Li Keyong can be said to have not died; as for my son, a bunch of stupid pigs That's all (this is Cao Cao's praise of Sun Quan, refer to the first month of 213)." An order was issued to take deserters everywhere and settle them down properly. Zhou Dewei and Li Cunzhang took advantage of the victory and went straight to Zezhou. Wang Ban, the governor appointed by Houliang, had always been hated by people, and the soldiers and civilians did not obey his orders.The Dragon and Tiger Army (the third and fourth armies of the Forbidden Army, the left and right standing teams of the former headquarters were changed) the command army (the third rank) Niu Cunjie, led the army from Xidu (Henan Prefecture · Luoyang City, Henan Province) to the north to meet the "Jiazhai" The defeated generals arrived at Tianjing Pass and said to the troops: "Zezhou is a dangerous place and must not be lost. Even if there is no order from the emperor, it should be rescued." Everyone disagreed, saying: "The Jin army is unstoppable, and our number is small. , Outnumbered!" Niu Cunjie said: "When you see a friend in danger and don't save him, it is against justice. If you fear the enemy's strength and run away, you are not a warrior." He raised his horsewhip and led everyone to march north.When they arrived in Zezhou, the residents of the city had already set fires everywhere, running and shouting, planning to meet the Jin army. Wang Ban closed the gate of the inner city (Yacheng) for defense; after the Niu Cun Festival, order was restored.The Jin army soon arrived and dug tunnels along the city wall to attack. Niu Cun resisted on the night of the festival. On the thirteenth day, Liu Zhijun led an army from Jinzhou to reinforce. Zhou Dewei burned the siege weapons and retreated to Gaoping (Gaoping County, Shanxi Province). Jin Wang Li Cunxu returned to Jinyang, let the officers and soldiers rest, and rewarded them for their merits.He ordered Zhou Dewei to be the commander of the Zhenwu theater, and also the second-level prime minister (Tongping Zhangshi·envoy).Li Cunxu ordered the state government to recommend talented people, depose corrupt officials, reduce taxes, appease the poor, redress grievances, prohibit adultery and theft, and the country is orderly.Because Hedong (Shanxi Province) is too small and the army is too small, the military training of officers and soldiers was strengthened.Li Cunxu ordered: all cavalry should walk, and no enemy is allowed to ride; after the task assignment is decided, each should abide by it, not exceed the limit, not exchange jobs, not stay at will, and not avoid danger; The time is not allowed to be delayed for more than fifteen minutes. Anyone who violates the law will be beheaded. The military order is strict, so Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain) and Henan (south of the Yellow River) were soon annexed, all because the troops were all elite (Li Cunxu respectfully obeyed Retirement policy, refer to March 1902). At the beginning, Li Ke used to kill Wang Xingyu (refer to November 1989), and Li Ye (Li Min), the emperor of the Tang Dynasty (the 22nd Emperor Zhaozong), specially authorized him to serve as an official in the name of the emperor.At that time, many provinces in war zones had this privilege, and they often issued edicts written in ink. Li Keyong thought that if he was like everyone else, he would not be honored, so every time he appointed an official, he must report to the central government.And until now, Li Cunxu began to appoint governors in the name of the emperor. Li Cunxu was very grateful to Zhang Chengye, the eunuch who supervised the army, and respected and loved him like an elder brother. Every time he went to Zhang's house, he would go to the back hall to visit Zhang Chengye's mother, and the gifts and rewards were very generous. Luzhou was under siege for more than a year. Most of the people died of freezing and starvation. The streets and alleys were sparsely populated and desolate.Li Sizhao promoted farming, encouraged silkworm rearing, reduced taxes, postponed payment dates, and relaxed penalties. After a few years, he finally returned to his former prosperity. 18. Li Qiong, commander of the Jingjiang theater (headquartered in Guizhou) affiliated to Southern Chu (capital Tanzhou), and second-level prime minister Li Qiong passed away (Li Qiong stayed in Jingjiang, refer to October 900).Ma Yin (57 years old this year), king of Southern Chu (one term Wumu king), sent his younger brother Ma Cun, the governor of Yongzhou (Yongzhou City, Hunan Province), to act as the governor of Guizhou (Guilin City, Guangxi). 19. On May 2, Houliang renamed the Zhongwu theater (headquarters in Xuzhou) as the Kuanguo theater.Changed the name of the Kuanguo theater to the Zhongwu theater (the names of the two theaters were reversed, I don’t know why, it’s superfluous).The Baoyi theater (headquartered in Shanzhou) was renamed the Zhenguo theater. 20. On May 5, the Southern Chu army attacked Ezhou (Wuhan City, Hubei Province) to which Hongnong belonged, and the acting governor Qin Pei defeated them. 21. Zhang Hao, the left wing commander (left tooth commander) of Hongnong Huainan (headquarters Yangzhou) headquarters garrison, and right wing commander (right tooth commander) Xu Wen, jointly control the military and political power, Hongnong King (Wei Wang) Yang Wo Indignant, intending to exclude the two of them, but they don't have the strength.The two also knew the crisis they were facing and felt uneasy, so they secretly discussed how to deal with Yang Wo, and then divided up Hongnong and surrendered to Houliang. On May 8, Zhang Hao sent his subordinate Ji Xiang and others to rush into Yang Wo's bedroom and kill Yang Wo (23 years old this year). The two announced that Yang Wo had died of a sudden illness. On May 9th, Zhang Hao assembled hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall of the palace. Armed soldiers stood along the road, with bows drawn and knives unsheathed.Zhang Hao's voice was sharp, and he asked: "The king (Yang Wo) is dead, who should be in charge of the military administration at the headquarters?" After asking three times, no one answered, and Zhang Hao was furious.Yan Keqiu, the staff officer, went up and secretly reported to Zhang Hao: "The military and administrative responsibilities of the headquarters are very important, and the four sides of the frontier will be attacked at any time. Of course, you must preside over it. But I am afraid it is too hasty to make a decision now." Zhang Hao Hao said, "Why the rush?" Yan Keqiu said, "Liu Wei (governor of Luzhou), Tao Ya (governor of Shezhou), Li Yu (governor of Xuanzhou), Li Jian (governor of Changzhou), guarding various places, following the example of the former king ( Yang Xingmi) are all equal friends, if you become king today, will they be your subordinates? Why don’t you support a young leader and let you be his assistant, who would dare to object?” Zhang Hao was silent for a long time .Yan Keqiu got rid of the left and right attendants, wrote a piece of paper, put it in his sleeve, and then ordered his colleagues to go to the palace to congratulate him. Everyone didn't know what he was doing.When he arrived at the palace, Yan Keqiu took out the paper, knelt down and declared that it was the order of Yang Wo Niang's wife Shi Tai.The main idea is: "The previous king created a great cause and went through hardships; the successor king unfortunately passed away early. His younger brother Longyan (Yang Xingmi's second son) should succeed according to the order. All generals, please do not let down the old kindness of the Yang family. Please help and guide!" The theme was very clear, Zhang Hao was pale and depressed, but because of Yan Keqiu's righteousness, he did not dare to object.So unanimously supported Yang Wo's younger brother Yang Longyan (twelve years old this year) as the alternate commander of the Huainan theater (headquartered in Yangzhou) (remaining behind), the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army (the commander of the camps in the east).After the ceremony, Zhu Jin, the deputy commander-in-chief (deputy commander in chief) went to the place where Yan Keqiu lived, and said: "I have been riding a horse and swinging swords since I was sixteen or seventeen years old. I have never known what it is to be afraid. Today Facing Zhang Hao, you were sweating profusely. You confronted the offender face to face, convinced him with reason, and calmed down, as if he didn’t exist at all. Only then did you realize that I’m just a brave man, and I’m far from you!” Then he regarded Yan Keqiu as his elder brother. Respect. Zhang Yan ordered Xu Wen to be the chief executive (observation envoy) of West Zhejiang Road (the capital is Runzhou) and leave the town of Runzhou.Yan Keqiu warned Xu Wen: "If you give up the security team at the headquarters (the tooth soldiers) and become an official in the local government, Zhang Hao will definitely charge you with murdering the leader!" Xu Wen was shocked and said: "What should I do then?" Yan Keqiu said: "Zhang Hao is headstrong, ignorant, and determined to go his own way. If you accept my opinion, I will help you." At that time, the deputy commander (deputy envoy) Li Chengsi also participated in the military and political decision-making of the headquarters. , Yan Keqiu lobbied Li Chengsi, saying: "Zhang Hao is so vicious and let Xu Wen out, I am afraid that he is not only dealing with Xu Wen in his heart, but also not good for you." Li Chengsi completely agreed.Yan Keqiu Jin met Zhang Hao and said, "You let Xu Wen go out to work in other places. Everyone talked a lot. They all thought that you planned to seize his military power and kill him. People are afraid of you." Zhang Hao said: "It was Xu Wen himself who asked for it to be released. I didn't mean it at all. And the order has already been issued, what can be done!" Yan Keqiu said: "It's very easy to change!" The next day, Yan Keqiu invited Zhang Hao, Li Chengsi visited Xu Wen together. Yan Keqiu widened his eyes and roared at Xu Wen: "The ancients never forget the kindness of a meal, let alone you are a veteran of the Yang family! Now, the young master of the Yang family (Yang) Long Yan) has just ascended the throne, and it is an eventful day, but you only plan for yourself and escape to other places to have fun, isn't it too much?" Xu Wen apologized and said: "If everyone is tolerant, how dare I only care about myself." I didn't move. Zhang Hao soon discovered that Yan Keqiu was secretly assisting Xu Wen, so he sent a killer to assassinate Xu Wen at night. When the killer suddenly appeared in front of Yan Keqiu, Yan Keqiu knew that he could not escape, and asked for permission to write a letter to Yang Longyan to say goodbye. The killer agreed, and Yan Keqiu, under the pressure of the steel knife on his neck, held up a straight book without fear.The killer knew the words, saw the words of loyalty and solemnity, and said: "You are a loyal elder, I can't bear to do it!" He only plundered Yan Keqiu's treasure and returned to his life, saying: "I can't find this person!" Zhang Hao said angrily : "What I want is Yan Keqiu's head, what's the use of treasure!" Xu Wen conspired with Yan Keqiu to eradicate Zhang Hao. Yan Keqiu said: "It must be Zhong Taizhang." .Xu Wen ordered Zhai Qian, the general of the army, to tell Zhong Taizhang that Zhong Taizhang was overjoyed when he received the order, and secretly assembled thirty warriors. At night, they stabbed blood and dripped it into the wine. Everyone drank the blood wine together as an oath. On the morning of May 17th, Zhong Taizhang rushed all the way into the right-wing camp (Yatang) of the garrison, and beheaded Zhang Hao and officials close to Zhang Hao.Xu Wen then announced Zhang Hao's crime of murdering the leader, arrested the murderer Ji Xiang, and tortured him to death in the downtown area of ​​the market with five horses.Xu Wen led all the civil and military officials to the West Palace to see Mrs. Shi Tai (wife of Yang Xingmi). Mrs. Shi Tai was terrified and cried loudly, saying: "My son is still young, and he has suffered a catastrophe. I just ask that the whole family surnamed Yang, It is your greatest kindness to return to Luzhou safely (the hometown of Yang Xingmi, Hefei City, Anhui Province)." Xu Wen said: "Zhang Hao murdered the king, and he must die. Mrs. Tai should be at ease!" At first, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao planned to kill Yang Wo and Xu Wen said: "The left and right wings of the garrison are mixed. I'm afraid they can't act with one mind. It's better to use my troops alone." Zhang Hao objected, and Xu Wen said: "Then, use your troops alone." Zhang Hao agree.Now, the thorough investigation of the rebellious party is all soldiers of the left wing of the police force, so people think that Xu Wen really doesn't know about Zhang Hao's conspiracy.杨隆演遂命徐温当左右警备队总指挥官（左右牙都指挥使），总部军政大事，遂由徐温全权决定。又命严可求当扬州军务秘书长（扬州司马）。

苏州城里跟城外水道互通，弘农军在水中横挂罗网，上面绑着铜铃，即令是鱼鳖通过，岸上都会听到铃声。吴越游击总纠察官（游弈都虞候）司马福打算暗中从水道进入城里，所以先用竹竿敲打渔网，弘农士卒听到铃声，拉起网来察看，司马福就利用这个机会，潜水通过，这样在水里停留三天，才算穿过重重罗网，进到城里。从此，城里守军的号令及调动，跟援军密切呼应，弘农军认为简直有神灵相助。 有一次，钱镠到王府花园游玩，看见花匠陆仁章所栽培的树木花卉，十分整齐茂盛，井井有条，遂记在心里。现在，苏州被围，钱镠派陆仁章把密函送到城里，陆仁章果然完成任务。钱镠把他当做孙儿一样相待，后来，累积功劳，陆仁章直升到两战区（镇海及镇东）军粮总监（两府军粮都监使），终于获得重用。陆仁章，是睦州（浙江省建德市）人。
