Later Liang Emperor Zhu Quanzhong recovered slightly from his illness. On November 25, Zhu Quanzhong went hunting between Yishui (a tributary of Luoshui) and Luoshui. Zhu Quanzhong suspected that King Zhao (the capital of Zhenzhou) and Wang Rong (commander of Wushun) might betray him and join Jin, and he also planned to take advantage of the death of Ye Wang Luo Shaowei to mobilize the leaders of Wushun and Yiwu.Coincidentally, Liu Shouguang, King of Yan, sent troops to Laishui (Laishui County, Hebei Province), intending to go south to invade Yiwu.Zhu Quanzhong then sent personal eunuchs (worship officials) Du Tingyin and Ding Yanhui to lead the Tianxiong Corps (headquarters in Weizhou) with 3,000 people to station in Shenzhou (Shenzhou City, Hebei Province) and Hebei (Jizhou City, Hebei Province) respectively, which belonged to Wushun. Claiming that in order to resist Liu Shouguang's attack, he came here to assist the defenders in combat, and at the same time received food supplies nearby.Shenzhou defender Shi Gongli warned Wang Rong: he must refuse.Wang Rong was very upset and ordered the gates of the city to be opened to welcome him, and Shi Gongli was transferred to station outside the city to avoid conflicts.Shi Gongli walked out of the city gate of Shenzhou, pointed at the city and wept and said: "Zhu Quanzhong destroyed the Tang Dynasty. Even a three-year-old child knows what kind of person he is. Our king actually relied on his in-laws (Wang Zhaozuo, the son of Wang Rong, married Zhu Quanzhong's daughter." , refer to September 900), think he is a loyal elder, this is exactly what people say: open the gate, respectfully invite robbers to come in and rob. It is a pity that this city fell into the hands of the enemy today. " An official from the Houliang government fled to Zhending (the county where the Zhenzhou state government is located, Zhengding County, Hebei Province), and told Wang Rong of Zhu Quanzhong's conspiracy. Wang Rong was terrified, but he did not dare to strike first.I had to immediately send envoys to Luoyang to report: "Liu Shouguang has reconciled with Yiwu, and the peace in the past has been restored, and the army has retreated. The people of Shenzhen and Hebei saw Tianxiong's army suddenly enter the city, running and screaming, terrified, please send them Recall." Zhu Quanzhong sent an envoy to Zhending to comfort and communicate with Wang Rong.However, soon, Du Tingyin and others closed the gates of the city, slaughtered all the Wushun defenders, and refused to defend the city.Wang Rong just woke up like a dream, and ordered Shi Gongli to counterattack, but he could not be conquered.Wang Rong sent envoys to Liu Shouguang (King of Yan) and Li Cunxu (King of Jin) to request emergency rescue. Wang Rong's envoys arrived in Jinyang (the county where Taiyuan Prefecture, the capital of the Jin State, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province is located), and the envoys of Wang Chuzhi, the commander of the Yiwu Theater (headquarters setting state), also arrived later, intending to jointly elect Jin Wang Li Cunxu as the leader of the alliance , Concentrate on attacking the back beam.Li Cunxu convened a military meeting, and the generals said in unison: "For a long time, Wang Rong, his subject Zhu Quanzhong (Wang Rong's kneeling, refer to September 900, so far for eleven years), has paid a large amount of gold and silver treasures every year, and has formed a The sons and daughters are in-laws, and they have a deep friendship. This time it must be a scam, and we should observe it slowly." Li Cunxu said: "He only did this for his own benefit. During the Tang Dynasty, the Wang family sometimes obeyed and sometimes betrayed. How could it be possible for Zhu How about the daughter of Zhu Wen (Zhu Quanzhong), Princess Bishouan (Wang Yuankui, the great-grandfather of Wang Rong, married Princess Shouan, the daughter of King Jiang Liwu of the Tang Dynasty)? Now he even saves his own life It’s too late, and we don’t care about in-laws! If we suspect and don’t go to rescue, we will fall into the trap designed by Zhu’s family. It is best to send troops immediately, and Jin and Zhao will unite and work together, and we will definitely break the back beam.” So he ordered mobilization, Zhou Dewei was ordered to be the commander-in-chief, and he went east from Jingxingguan (the fifth of the eight paths of Taihang, west of Luquan City, Hebei Province) and stationed in Zhaozhou (Zhao County, Hebei Province). When Wang Rong's envoy arrived in Youzhou (Beijing), Liu Shouguang, King of Yan, was hunting. Sun He, a military advisor, galloped to the paddock and reported the good news, saying: "King Zhao (Wang Rong) came to ask for help. Liu Shouguang said: "How could it be?" Sun He replied: "We have been worried that Wang Rong and Zhu Wen will become one. Stop. Now they are split from within and are hostile to each other. If the king cooperates with Wang Rong to defeat the rear beam, Yiwu and Wushun will pay tribute to the dynasty with respect. If the king refuses to send troops, I am afraid that the king of Jin (Li Cunxu) will first Seize this thousand-year golden opportunity." Liu Shouguang said: "Wang Rong's repeated words are nothing, and now let him fight with Houliang, and we will sit here and wait for a bargain, why save him!" The envoy Wang Rong sent for help was at the One after another on the way, but Liu Shouguang always refused. *Hu Sanxing said: Since the Warring States period, "Bian Zhuang thorns the tiger (refer to the December 204 note)", "snipe and the clam fight (refer to the December 547 note), "dogs and rabbits all die (refer to the 20th note) Three years August Note)", the fable of the same nature has been widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If you can't understand the situation you are facing and see the opportunity, this kind of fable will do a lot of harm. From then on, Yiwu and Wushun left Houliang and resumed using the title of Tianyou Year of the Tang Dynasty (this year is the seventh year of Tianyou).Cancel Wushun and restore Chengde (to avoid the taboo of Liang Wang Zhu Quanzhong's father Zhu Cheng, Chengde was changed to Wushun, refer to October 28, 1905). The head of the Houliang Observatory (Sitian) reported: "There will be a lunar eclipse next month, and it is not suitable for troops to be stationed outside." Zhu Quanzhong then ordered Wang Jingren and others to return to Luoyang. On December 3, Zhu Quanzhong heard that the King of Zhao had united with the King of Jin, and that the Jin army had entered Zhaozhou, so he ordered Wang Jingren and others to attack. On December 4th, Wang Jingren and others crossed the Yellow River northward at Heyang Ferry, joined forces with Luo Zhouhan's (Deputy Commander of Tianxiong) army, a total of 40,000 people, and stationed in Xing (Xingtai City, Hebei Province) and Ming (Yongnian City, Hebei Province). The old Yongnian Town in the southeast of the county) two states. 28. Lu Guangchou, the governor of Qianzhou (Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province), was seriously ill and planned to give up the position of governor to Tan Quanbo (the two raised troops at the same time, refer to the first month of 1885), but Tan Quanbo refused.Lu Guangchou died soon, and his son Lu Yanchang, the governor of Shaozhou (Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province), went to the funeral. Tan Quanbo supported him as the governor, and he was still a subordinate.Southern Wu sent envoys to appoint Lu Yanchang as the governor of Qianzhou, and Lu Yanchang accepted, but at the same time, through Southern Chu King (one Wu Mu King) Ma Yin, he secretly sent Zhu Quanzhong, the Emperor of Liang, and vowed: "Although I accept the order of Huainan (Southern Wu government) , just to delay their conspiracy, I will definitely seize the land of Jiangxi (Zhennan War Zone Jiangxi Province) for the central government.” (When Lu Guangchou was alive, he was also subject to Houliang and Hongnong, refer to August 909.) On December 10, the Later Liang government appointed Lu Yanchang as the alternate commander of the Zhennan War Zone (empty title. At this time, Hongzhou belonged to Southern Wu).Lu Yanchang Shangshu appointed his general Liao Shuang as governor of Shaozhou.Liao Shuang is from Qianzhou. Yan Keqiu, the military executive officer (Jiedu Judge) of South Wu Huainan (headquarters in Yangzhou), suggested setting up a military and political director (systematic director) in Xingan County (Xingan County, Jiangxi Province · Weiqianzhou North Aviation Distance 220 kilometers) envoy), sent troops to garrison, and conspired to attack Qianzhou.Every time the army took turns to deploy defenses, they secretly increased the number of troops, and Qianzhou didn't notice it at all. 29. On December 14th, the former Shu emperor Jian appointed Zhou Xiang, deputy chief inspector (censor Zhongcheng), and Yu Chuansu, deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance of the State Council (servant minister of the household department) and national financial director (juanduzhi), and deputy legislator at the same time. Chang (Zhongshu Shilang), second-level real prime minister. 30. Li Yan, Minister of Sacrifice of the Houliang (Taichangqing), etc. revised the "Complete Book of Laws and Precedents of the Houliang" ("Liang Law Order Format"). On December 17, Emperor Zhu Quanzhong of the Later Liang Dynasty issued an edict and promulgated it. 31. On December 21, Wang Jingren, commander of the Northern Expedition of the Later Liang Dynasty, marched towards Baixiang (Baixiang County, Hebei Province). 32. On December 25, the former Shu government gave amnesty.The next year (911) was changed to Yongping. 33. The King of Zhao and Wang Rong asked Jin Wang Li Cunxu for help urgently. Li Cunxu ordered Li Cunshen (Fu Cunshen), the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fan-Han Mixed Corps (Fan-Han Deputy Chief) to stay in Jinyang (the county where the capital Taiyuan Prefecture is located Taiyuan, Shanxi Province) City), and personally led the army, from Zanhuang (Zanhuang County, Hebei Province) to the east.Wang Chuzhi sent generals to lead an army of 5,000 people to join the army. On December 25th, Li Cunxu arrived in Zhaozhou and joined forces with Zhou Dewei's troops. At the same time, he captured 200 soldiers who came out from Houliang to cut firewood and mow grass. He asked them about their military situation and said, "What orders does your emperor have when you leave Luoyang?" He replied: "The emperor warned our Marshal (Wang Jingren) that: 'Wang Rong is capricious, and he will always become a disaster for future generations. Now, I entrust you with the most elite troops in the empire. Even if the city of Zhenzhou is cast iron , and take it for me.'" Li Cunxu ordered these people to be escorted to Wang Rong. On December 26th, Li Cunxu advanced southward, 30 miles away from Bai Township, and ordered Zhou Dewei and others to lead the Hu cavalry to challenge the Houliang army, who stayed behind closed doors. On December 27th, Li Cunxu advanced again, five miles away from Baixiang, and camped on the north bank of the Yehe River.General Han Qing of Houliang led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to pursue them in three directions.The armor of the Houliang soldiers was all covered with silk and satin, and there were gold and silver decorations carved with patterns, which were dazzling. The Jin army was very depressed when they saw it.Zhou Dewei said to Li Cunzhang: "The Houliang army may not really want to fight, but just want to show off their strength. If you don't kill their spirit, the army will not be able to cheer up." So he announced to everyone: "They are from Bianzhou (Kaifeng City, Henan Province) The Tianwu Army ("Five Dynasties Meeting: All Armies in the Capital": After the founding of the Houliang, in April 1907, the left and right standing team at the headquarters was renamed the left and right dragon and tiger army, the left and right guards were renamed the left and right Habayashi army, and the left and right commando was renamed the left and right commando The Shenwu Army, the Left and Right Cavalry was renamed the Left and Right Longxiang Army. In September 1907, the Left and Right Tianxing Army and the Left and Right Guangsheng Army were added. In October 1908, the Left and Right Shenjie Army was added. In 1908 In December, the Left and Right Tianwu Army was renamed the Left and Right Dragon and Tiger Army, the Left and Right Dragon and Tiger Army was renamed the Left and Right Tianwu Army, the Left and Right Tianwei Army was renamed the Left and Right Habayashi Army, the Left and Right Habayashi Army was renamed the Left and Right Tianwei Army, and the Left and Right Yingwu Army was renamed the Left and Right Shenwu Army. The Left and Right Shenwu Army was renamed the Left and Right Yingwu Army), but a group of sneaky hooligans, seeing them dressed in fancy clothes, is not worth one. As long as you catch one and peel off the body parts, it is enough to make you a small fortune. This is God Don't let the living treasure you give slip away." Zhou Dewei personally led more than a thousand elite cavalry to attack the two wings of the Liang army, charging from left to right, killing in front and slashing in back, going in and out several times, capturing more than a hundred people while fighting , While slowly retreating, retreating to a distance from Yehe and stopping, the Liang army also retreated. Zhou Dewei reported to Li Cunxu: "The Houliang army is very powerful. We'd better stand still and wait until their morale declines." Li Cunxu said: "We are a lone army. (Three war zones: Chengde, Yiwu, Hedong), in fact, they are just a group of mobs, which are most conducive to a quick battle, but you advocate standing still and not taking any risks, why?" Zhou Dewei said: "Yiwu, Chengde's The army is good at defending cities, but not good at field battles. We rely on cavalry troops, which can only exert their power in vast plains and wilderness areas, but now they are pressing tightly against the barracks of thieves, and they can't even move their feet. Moreover, the number of back beams is too large We are too few to resist. Once they discover our weakness, the situation will be very critical." Li Cunxu was very upset, and retreated to the imperial tent to lie down to rest, and the generals did not dare to speak.Zhou Dewei visited the eunuch Zhang Chengye and said: "Since the king (Li Cunxu) succeeded to the throne, he suddenly won a battle (referring to the battle of Jiazhai, refer to April 908), he despised the enemy and did not evaluate his own strength. , and only want to launch an attack quickly. Now the bandits are only one foot away, and the only barrier is a small river. If they build bridges and launch an attack, our troops will immediately be reduced to ashes. I suggest retreating to Gaoyi (Hebei Province Gaoyi County) to lure the thieves to leave the position. We will retreat when they fight, and we will fight when they retreat. In addition, we will send light cavalry to plunder their food and salaries. At most, we will be able to defeat them for more than a month!" Zhang Chengye entered The imperial tent raised the bed curtain, pushed Li Cunxu and said: "Is it time for the king to sleep with his head in his arms! Zhou Dewei is a veteran in the battlefield and has rich experience in the battlefield. What he said cannot be ignored!" Li Cunxu stood up and said: "I'm thinking about it!" At that time, the Houliang army closed the barracks and refused to fight. When some soldiers who surrendered to the Jin army were interrogating, they said, "Wang Jingren is rushing to build a pontoon bridge." As expected!" On the same day, they ordered to withdraw the camp immediately and retreat to Gaoyi. 34. Song Ye, chief of Chenzhou Man (minority in Yuanling County, Hunan Province), and Pan Jinsheng, chief of Xuzhou Man (minority in Xuzhou), rely on them to live in the mountains and the terrain is dangerous, so they continue to invade Southern Chu border.Now, Song Ye attacked Xiangxiang (Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province), and Pan Jinsheng attacked Wugang (Chengbu County, Hunan Province).南楚王（一任武穆王）马殷派昭州（广西平乐县）州长吕师周率衡山（湖南省衡山县东北衡山故城）士兵五千人讨伐。 35、宁远战区（总部设容州）司令官庞巨昭、高州（广东省信宜市南）警备区司令（防御使）刘昌鲁，都是唐王朝时代任命的官员。当初，黄巢攻击岭南（总部广州）时，庞巨昭是容州道（首府容州）行政长官，刘昌鲁是高州州长，率领各蛮夷部落据守险要抵抗，黄巢部众不敢入境（黄巢占领广州，参考八七九年九月）。唐王朝政府奖励他们的功劳，遂在容州设置宁远战区，命庞巨昭当司令官（唐王朝设宁远战区，命盖寓遥兼司令官，参考八九七年六月，当时庞巨昭以“暂代候补”名义主持，后来才改实任，参考九〇六年正月）；命刘昌鲁当高州警备区司令（防御使）。后来，刘隐割据岭南（清海战区），二州拒绝服从，刘隐派他的老弟刘岩进攻高州，刘昌鲁把刘岩打得大败而逃。刘岩再攻容州，也不能攻克。但刘昌鲁了解自己地小人少，毕竟没有力量跟刘隐对抗，于是，就在本年，写信给南楚王马殷，自愿归附，马殷大喜，派横州（广西横县）州长姚彦章率军迎接。姚彦章经过容州时，守军初级将领（裨将）莫彦昭游说庞巨昭说：“湖南（南楚）军队长途跋涉，疲惫不堪，我们应该先运走所有粮食辎重，放弃城池，撤退到山谷里等待。他们一定进城，我们再发动攻击，他们内没有粮草，外没有救兵，就可把他们生擒活捉。”庞巨昭说：“马家的势力正在扩张，即令这一次战役把他们打败，以后怎么办？不如准备酒肉欢迎。”莫彦昭反对，庞巨昭遂斩莫彦昭，率领全州军民投降。 姚彦章抵达高州，派武装部队护送庞巨昭、刘昌鲁家族跟士卒一千余人，回到长沙（南楚首都潭州州政府所在县）。马殷命姚彦章代理容州州长，命刘昌鲁当永顺战区（原名武贞·总部设朗州）副司令官（节度副使）。刘昌鲁，是邺县（河北省临漳县西南邺镇）人。 1、春季，正月一日，日食。 2、后梁帝国（首都河南府）跟晋国（首都太原府）大战，在桕乡（河北省柏乡县）爆发。 柏乡近年来不再储存粮食草料，所以后梁军进占后，不得不经常派士卒到郊外砍柴割草，自给自足，晋军每天派巡逻部队攻击抄掠这些士卒，迫使后梁军闭门不敢外出。晋军统帅周德威派胡人骑兵部队环绕后梁大营奔驰射箭，破口诟骂，后梁军怀疑设有埋伏，越发不敢出来，只好拆除屋顶茅草或床上坐席来喂战马，很多战马死亡。 正月二日，周德威跟别动部队将领史建瑭、李嗣源（邈佶烈）率精锐骑兵三千人，紧压后梁营门，百般侮辱。后梁军统帅王景仁（王茂章）、韩勍大怒，出动所有部队，向晋军攻击。周德威等一面战斗，一面向北后退，直退到高邑（河北省高邑县）稍南，晋军将领李存璋率步兵据守野河北岸阵地，后梁军黑压压一片，东西横亘有数里，争先恐后争夺浮桥，义武（总部定州）、成德（总部镇州）步兵部队竭力阻挡，但阻挡不住，无法支持。晋王李存勖（本年二十七岁）对匡卫总指挥官（匡卫都指挥使）李建及说：“盗贼一旦过桥，就再难控制。”李建及挑选勇士两百人，手提长枪，大声呐喊，杀进敌军，誓死奋战，终于把后梁军击退。李建及，是许州（河南省许昌市）人，本姓王，是李罕之的义子（李罕之派他的儿子李颀当人质事，参考八八八年四月，李建及是随从之一）。李存勖登上小山眺望，说：“后梁军争先恐后，心浮气躁，我们的部队整齐安静，一定可以战胜。”可是自上午十时血战到中午十二时，胜负还看不出分晓，李存勖对周德威说：“两军已成胶着，无法分开，我们是兴是亡，全看这次，我为你率先冲锋陷阵，你在我后面继续进发。”周德威拦住马头劝阻说：“观察后梁军的情势，我们应以逸待劳，才能把它克制。如果硬碰硬迎头痛击，恐怕不容易取胜。他们一路追击，远离大营三十余里；虽然携有干粮，却没有时间去吃，太阳偏西之后，饥渴交迫，必然不能支持，而钢刀利箭，又如倾盆大雨，士卒们疲劳困倦，却巴不得马上脱离战场。到那时候，我们出动精锐骑兵攻击，一定可以大捷。目前情况，时机还没有成熟。”李存勖才停止。 当时，后梁（首都河南府）所属天雄（总部魏州）及宣义（总部滑州）特遣兵团担任东翼，宣武（总部宋州）特遣兵团担任西翼。果然，太阳过午，后梁士卒还没有吃饭，开始丧失斗志。统帅王景仁等率军稍稍往后移动，周德威大喊道：“后梁军逃走！”晋军欢声雷动，争先恐后，呼叫前进。天雄、宣义特遣兵团首先后退，李嗣源率部众在西方阵地，对宣武特遣兵团高呼道：“东翼的军队已经逃走，你们还留在这里干什么！”宣武特遣兵团你看我、我看你，惊骇恐怖，魂飞魄散，霎时间，四散逃生，全线崩溃。李存璋率步兵追杀，大声呼唤道：“后梁人也是晋国人，只要放下武器，决不格杀。”后梁战士纷纷解下铠甲，连同刀枪弓箭，全部抛弃，吵闹喧哗的声音震动天地。但成德官兵对深（河北省深州市）、冀（河北省冀州市）二州闭门屠杀的事（参考去年十一月）十分伤痛，所以，对后梁军抛弃的东西，毫不贪图，而继续追杀，后梁龙骧、神捷精锐士卒几乎全被杀光，从野河到柏乡，尸体盖满地面。王景仁、韩勍、李思安在数十名骑兵保护下逃走。晋军于夜晚抵达柏乡，后梁军早已撤退，抛下的粮食、草料、财物、武器，多到数都数不完，阵亡两万人。晋军将领李嗣源等一直追击到邢州（河北省邢台市），河朔（河北平原）大为震动。后梁所属保义战区（总部设邢州）司令官（节度使）王檀，在严密戒备下，打开城门，收容战场溃退下来的残兵败将，发给他们钱粮，命他们返回各自战区。晋王李存勖集结部队，进驻赵州（河北省赵县）。 后梁贴身宦官（供奉官）杜廷隐等，听到大军战败，放弃深、冀二州（夺取二州事，参考去年十一月），裹胁二州青年男女充当奴婢，而把老人儿童全部坑杀。二州遂成空城，只剩下碎瓦断墙，一片凄凉。 正月八日，后梁帝（一任太祖）朱全忠（朱温，本年六十岁）命杨师厚（镇国司令官）再度出任北方军团总征剿司令（北面都招讨使），率军进驻河阳（孟州州政府所在县·河南省孟州市），收容散兵游勇，十余天后，集结一万人。 正月十四日，晋王李存勖派周德威、史建瑭率骑兵三千人前往澶（河南省内黄县东南）、魏（河北省大名县）二州。张承业、李存璋率步兵进攻邢州，李存勖亲率主力部队，随后前进。发布文告，向河北（黄河以北）各州县说明军事行动的目的，分析讨伐叛逆的是非利害。后梁帝朱全忠派别动部队将领徐仁溥率军一千人，沿着西山（太行山）山麓秘密北上，于深夜暗中进入邢州，协助王檀守城。 正月二十四日，朱全忠免除王景仁征剿司令（招讨使）及二级实质宰相（同平章事）职务。 3、前蜀帝国（首都成都府）皇帝（一任高祖）王建（本年六十五岁）的女儿普慈公主，嫁给岐王（一任忠敬王）李茂贞（宋文通，本年五十六岁）的侄儿、天雄战区（总部设秦州）司令官李继崇。普慈公主派宦官宋光嗣携带写在绢上的亲笔信回国，呈递老爹，指出李继崇骄傲狂妄，又喜爱喝酒，难以共同生活，请求返回成都（四川省成都市）；王建召唤普慈公主归宁。 正月二十六日，普慈公主回到成都，王建把她留下，命宋光嗣当皇宫南城管理官（阁门南院使）。李茂贞大怒，遂跟前蜀决裂。宋光嗣，是福州（福建省福州市）人。 4、南楚（首都潭州）将领吕师周（讨伐溆州蛮，参考去年十二月），·翻山越岭，攀藤牵枝，深入飞山洞（湖南省靖州县北七千米），发动奇袭，生擒溆州蛮（湖南省洪江市西北黔城镇境内少数民族）酋长潘金盛，押解到武冈（湖南省城步县），斩首。继续进攻辰州蛮（湖南省沅陵县境内少数民族）酋长宋邺。 5、二月四日，晋王李存勖抵达魏州，进攻，不能攻克。后梁帝朱全忠因罗周翰（天雄候补司令官）还是一个少年，而且对罗绍威（前天雄司令官）的旧日将领也不放心，二月五日，朱全忠命国务院财政部长（户部尚书）李振当天雄副司令官（节度副使），派杜廷隐率军一千人保护，他们从杨刘（山东省东阿县东北杨柳乡·古黄河南岸渡口）渡黄河北上，抄小路于夜晚进入魏州，协助罗周翰共同守城。 二月八日，李存勖率军抵达黎阳（河南省浚县），亲自视察黄河形势。后梁军一万余人正渡黄河，听到李存勖要到消息，惊慌过度，从船上跳出来，一哄而散。 6、后梁帝朱全忠召唤蔡州（河南省汝南县）州长张慎思前来洛阳（首都河南府所在县），很久没有派人接替。蔡州右翼指挥官（右厢指挥使）刘行琮兵变，放纵士卒烧杀掳掠，打算投奔南吴（首都扬州）。顺化指挥官（顺化指挥使）王存俨起兵诛杀刘行琮，安抚他的部众，收编作自己部属，自行兼任州长，声称出于军心民意，上疏奏报。当时，东京（开封府·河南省开封市）留守长官博王朱友文（康勤），并没有先行请示，立刻出军讨伐，挺进到鄢陵（河南省鄢陵县），朱全忠说：“王存俨正恐惧不安，大军一旦压境，他非飞走不可。”派出十万火急使节，命朱友文班师。 二月九日，朱全忠命王存俨暂代蔡州州长（权知蔡州事）。 7、二月十日，晋国将领周德威自临清（河北省临西县）进攻贝州（河北省清河县），攻陷夏津（山东省夏津县）、高唐（山东省高唐县），进击博州（山东省聊城市），占领东武（山东省阳谷县）、朝城（山东省莘县西南朝城镇）；继续前进，进攻澶州，州长张可臻放弃城池逃走。朱全忠斩张可臻。周德威进攻黎阳，占领临河（河南省濮阳市西）、淇门（河南省淇县东南淇门渡），逼近卫州（河南省卫辉市），剽掠新乡（河南省新乡市）、共城（河南省辉县市）。 二月十五日，朱全忠亲率大军进驻白司马阪（河南省洛阳市北），严密防备。 8、后梁所属卢龙（总部幽州）暨义昌（总部沧州）两战区司令官、兼最高立法长（兼中书令·使相）、燕王刘守光，夺取沧州（河北省沧州市东南）之后（参考去年正月），自认为得到上天的帮助，更加荒淫和凶虐。审问被告时，就把那人塞在铁笼子里，用火烤红逼供；又特别制造一种铁刷，用来刷人的脸。后梁柏乡兵败的消息传来，刘守光派使节对王镕（成德司令官）及王处直（义武司令官）说：“听说你们跟河东（晋国）联军击破后梁兵团，南下追击。我也有精锐骑兵三万人，打算亲自率领，给各位大帅开道。然而，四个战区联军，势必有一个最高领袖。我如果到你们那里，将担任什么角色！”王镕忧虑，派人报告李存勖，李存勖失笑道：“成德火急请求救援时，刘守光不肯出一兵一卒协助，等到我冒险犯难，大功告成，他却想靠他的军队挑拨离间，真是蠢到了底。”将领们说：“云（山西省大同市）、代（山西省代县）二州跟幽州（北京市）边境相接，他如果骚扰我们的城镇，恐怕人心动摇。大军千里远征，恐怕一时难以救援，也可以说是心腹之患，不如先消灭刘守光，才可以专心南下讨伐。”李存勖说：“好极！”就在这时候，杨师厚从磁（河北省磁县）、相（河南省安阳市）二州率军北上，增援邢、魏二州。 二月十七日，晋军解除对魏州的包围，向北撤退，杨师厚追击，越过漳水才回，邢州的包围也跟着解除。杨师厚遂驻扎魏州。 赵王王镕亲自前去赵州晋见晋王李存勖，盛大地犒赏将士，并且派他的义子王德明率三十七特别营，前往太原，以后就经常追随李存勖东征西讨。王德明，本来姓名张文礼，是幽州人。 二月二十七日，李存勖从赵州出发，返回晋阳（首都太原府所在县），命周德威等率三千人驻防赵州。 9、三月一日，后梁擢升天雄战区（总部设魏州）候补司令官（留后）罗周翰实任司令官。 10、后梁清海（总部广州）、静海（总部安南府）战区司令官兼最高立法长、南平王（襄王）刘隐，病势沉重，上疏后梁帝朱全忠，任命他的老弟、副司令官（节度副使）刘岩（本年二十三岁）暂代候补司令官（权知留后）。 三月三日，刘隐逝世（本年三十八岁），刘岩继位。 11、岐王李茂贞在前蜀东北部边境集结大军。前蜀帝王建对文武百官说：“李茂贞自从被朱温（朱全忠）围困的那天起（参考九〇二年六月），我就经常帮助他，屡次解救他的困难，今天竟然忘恩负义，反而向我们进攻，谁替我给他一个迎头痛击！”兼最高立法长（兼中书令）王宗侃（田师侃）自告奋勇，王建命他当北方军团总指战官（北路行营都统）。天文台副台长（司天少监）赵温珪劝阻说：“李茂贞对我们边境并没有侵犯行动，将领们如果贪图军功，深入敌国国土，粮食运输困难，道路又远，恐怕不符合帝国的利益。”王建不接受，命兼最高监督长（兼侍中）王宗祐、太子少师（太子三少之一）王宗贺、山南西道战区（总部设兴元府）司令官唐道袭都当征剿司令（招讨使），分兵三路挺进，又命左金吾（卫军第十一军）大将军王宗绍当副征剿司令，率步骑兵混合兵团十二万人，进攻岐国（首都凤翔府）。 三月八日，王宗侃等自成都出发，旌旗招展，绵延几百里。 岐王李茂贞招安华原（陕西省耀县）变民首领温韬，当做义子，把华原升格为耀州，美原（陕西省富平县东北美原镇）升格为鼎州。并在两州设置义胜战区（根据《新唐书·方镇表》，耀鼎二州以及义胜战区，都于九〇六年时设置），命温韬当司令官，会同静难（总部邠州）、凤翔（总部凤翔府）军队，进攻长安（后梁大安府所在县·陕西省西安市）。后梁帝朱全忠下诏命感化战区（总部设华州）司令官康怀贞、忠武战区（总部设同州）司令官牛存节率华州、同州、河中（山西省永济市）军队迎战。 三月二十五日，康怀贞等奏报说：在车度（陕西省大荔县西南）把温韬赶走。 夏季，四月一日，岐军攻击前蜀所属的兴元，唐道袭把岐军击退。 12、后梁帝朱全忠因患病长久不能痊愈。 五月一日，后梁政府大赦天下。 13、五月二十一日，后梁帝朱全忠擢升清海战区（总部设广州）候补司令官刘岩实任司令官。 刘岩多方延揽中原知识分子做他的幕僚，派他们出任州长；所以州长没有武官。 14、前蜀帝王建前往利州（四川省广元市），命皇太子王元坦（王宗懿）监督国政。六月一日，王建抵达利州。 15、燕王（首府幽州）刘守光，曾经身穿暗红色长袍（唐王朝皇帝穿暗红色龙袍），环顾将领们说：“而今，天下大乱，英雄豪杰互相竞争，我疆土辽阔，地势险要，兵强马壮，也想当当皇帝，你们看怎么样？”智囊孙鹤说：“我们内部的问题才获得解决（应指平定老哥刘守文，参考九〇九年五月），政府和人民的力量已经枯竭，太原（指李存勖）在西方蠢蠢欲动，契丹（王庭西楼城）在北面待机而发。这种情形下，仓促登基称帝，看不出有什么前途。大王最好是专心培养干部，使人民获得充分休息，加强部队军事训练，积蓄粮食草料。德政深入民间之后，四方自然归服。”刘守光大不高兴。派人游说成德、义武，请两战区尊崇自己当“尚父”。赵王王镕告诉晋王李存勖，李存勖气冲牛斗，打算出兵讨伐，但将领们却另有见解，说：“刘守光的罪恶飞快增加，马上就有灭族大祸，不如表面上对他十分推崇，使他更趾高气扬，罪恶就会更快满盈。”李存勖遂跟成德王镕、义武王处直、昭义（总部潞州）李嗣昭、振武（总部朔州）周德威、天德（总部天德城）宋瑶等六司令官（节度使及防御使），联名推荐刘守光当国务院总理（尚书令）、尚父（不知道哪个国家的国务院总理和哪个皇帝的尚父）。 刘守光不了解这是闹剧，反而认为六司令官都对他畏惧，越发骄傲，不可一世，于是上疏给后梁帝朱全忠，把联名推荐的文件一并送呈，说：“晋王（李存勖）等坚决支持我当国务院总理（尚书令）、尚父，可是我承受陛下的优厚恩德，不敢接受。我想最恰当的办法，不如陛下任命我当河北（黄河以北）总指战官（都统），则河东（总部太原府）、武顺（即成德·总部镇州）用不着动手就可以平定。”朱全忠也知道刘守光既愚昧、又疯狂，但仍任命他当河北道巡察特使（采访使。七三二年，唐王朝设十道采访使，安史兵变后撤销，参考七五八年五月十日），派宫门管理官（阁门使）王瞳、承办官（受旨）史彦群前往隆重布达。刘守光命属官撰写尚父及巡察特使登位礼仪。 六月三日，属官找出唐王朝任命太尉（三公之一）礼仪呈阅，刘守光看了后，问为什么没有南郊祭祀天神（郊天）跟更改年号？属官回答说：“尚父虽然尊贵，仍是天子的臣属，怎么会有祭祀天神和更改年号的事？”刘守光大怒，把礼仪单掷到地上，说：“我的土地方圆有两千里，武装部队有三十万人，简直可以当河北（黄河以北）皇帝，谁管得住？尚父算什么东西！”命立刻呈报登基称帝的仪式，逮捕王瞳、史彦群以及各战区道派来观礼的使节，戴上脚镣手铐，投进监狱。但不久，仍把他们释放。 16、后梁帝朱全忠命杨师厚率军三万人进驻邢州。 17、前蜀军攻击岐国，屡战屡胜。 秋季，七月，前蜀帝王建回京，命皇军大营总监（御营使）昌王王宗鐬驻军利州。 18、七月二十日，后梁帝朱全忠在首都洛阳特别市长（河南尹）张宗奭（张全义）家（
