Chapter 4 3. Thousand miles of white bones

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, the first month, Emperor Zhu Youzhen (three years old) of the Later Liang Empire (the capital of Kaifeng) ordered Yuan Xiang, the commander (jiedu envoy) of the Xuanwu Theater (headquartered in Songzhou) to reinforce Yingzhou ( Fuyang City, Anhui Province. South Wuwei Yingzhou, refer to last November).Yuan Xiang arrived first, and the Southern Wu (capital Yangzhou) army retreated immediately.

2. On February 5th, Li Cunxu (33 years old this year), King of Jin (Taiyuan Prefecture, the capital), attacked Liyang (Jun County, Henan Province).General Liu Po ​​(commander of Xuanyi) of Houliang (the capital of Kaifeng) resisted. After a few days, Li Cunxu was unable to conquer and retreated. 3. Li Cunxu, the younger brother of Jin Wang Li Cunxu, the commander (defense envoy) of the Weisser (headquartered in Xinzhou) garrison area, Li Cunju, guards Xinzhou (Zhuolu County, Hebei Province). He is proud, lazy, politically chaotic, servants and maidservants, all holding power and interfering in military affairs .Li Cunxu ordered him to recruit brave youths from the barbarian tribes in the north of Shanbei (north of Yanshan Mountain), as well as deserters from Liu Shouguang's former tribe, to supplement the strength of the Southern Expedition Army; he also confiscated war horses from the people, and horses were scarce, and some people had to sell ten of them. Only a cow can be exchanged for a horse, and the deadline is urgent, and the people in the frontier are bitter and resentful.Li Cunju finally recruited 500 war horses, personally escorted them southward, and ordered Lu Wenjin, the governor of Shouzhou (Shouxian County, Anhui Province) (empty official title. At this time, Shouzhou belonged to Southern Wu) to be the junior general (Private General). When they went south, they were all afraid, but Li Cunju didn't know how to show empathy for them, so the fear turned into resistance.

On February 15th, Li Cunju led his army to Qigou Pass (southwest of Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province). Gong Yanzhang, a junior officer (small colonel), discussed with the soldiers and said: "I heard that the state of Jin (the capital of Taiyuan) followed Liang Zheng Fighting hard along the Yellow River, the cavalry suffered heavy casualties. We abandoned our parents, wives and children, and fought for others in foreign lands. Get rid of the commander, support General Lu to return to Xinzhou, and defend the city, who can do anything to us?" Then he waved his weapon, shouted loudly, and went straight to the post hotel.The next day (February 16), before Li Cunju got up, the soldiers hacked him to death on the bed.Lu Wenjin lost control, beat his head and beat his chest, and cried while hugging Li Cunju's body, saying: "These slaves killed the lord (calling the master's son "Lang Jun"), teach me what face to see the king (Li Cunxu) again!" With everyone's support, return to Xinzhou (another statement, Ma Ling's "Southern Tang Book·Lu Wenjin Biography": Lu Wenjin has a daughter, who is outstandingly beautiful, and Li Cunju asked to take her as his concubine. Lu Wenjin dared not refuse. Although he gave it to him, he has always held a grudge in his heart , then acted in concert with the Bianjun).Guard Yang Quanzhang closed the city gate to resist.Lu Wenjin also attacked Wuzhou (Xuanhua County, Hebei Province) and Yanmen (the county where Daizhou Prefecture Government is located · Daixian County, Shanxi Province), the combat commander of the garrison area north of Wuzhou (Daixian County, Shanxi Province).Zhou Dewei (commander Lu Long) also sent troops to pursue him. Lu Wenjin had nowhere to go, so he had to lead his troops to the Khitan Empire (the capital Xilou City).Li Cunxu heard that Li Cunju had provoked a mutiny because of his brutality, so he executed several maidservants and staff.

4. Initially, Yuguan (Dongyuguan Town, Funing County, Hebei Province. The air distance between the two places is 260 kilometers) was located 700 miles north (should be east) of Youzhou (Beijing). Yushui (Beidaihe) flows through it and flows east into Bohai Bay.Going north along the coast from Kantohoku, there is a small road. The narrowest part of the road is only a few feet, and the side is full of chaotic mountains, so high and dangerous that it is impossible to climb.Until Jinniukou (25 kilometers northeast of Funing County, Hebei Province), eight defense battalions were stationed in the past, and local residents were recruited as soldiers. Yuguan belongs to Pingzhou), and the Lulong Theater Headquarters (located in Youzhou) also rewards silk and cotton cloth every year for soldiers to sew clothes.Farmers in Yuguan harvest field crops early every year to strengthen fort defenses and prevent robbery by Khitan (capital Xilou City) troops.When the Khitan army came, the gates of the eight defense battalion bases were closed tightly, and they did not come out to fight. When the Khitans retreated, they selected death squads to block the narrow passages and attack from the middle. The Khitans always lost and fled.The soldiers of the defense battalion fought to protect their homeland, so they worked hard, and those who made meritorious deeds would be rewarded by their superiors, so Khitan did not dare to plunder easily.

However, after Zhou Dewei took over as the commander of the Lulong theater, he considered himself brave and invincible, and he did not pay much attention to border defense. As a result, the natural dangers of Yuguan were lost, and Khitan went south from time to time. Long County) Between the two states, cattle and horses are herded.However, Zhou Dewei was narrow-minded, and often found an excuse to kill some prestigious veterans in Youzhou, which made the hearts of the people and the army even more uneasy. Southern Wu King (capital Yangzhou) Yang Longyan (21 years old this year) sent an envoy to bring "Mighty Fire Oil" to Khitan Emperor (one Taizu) Yelu Abaoji (46 years old this year), saying: "Take This kind of oil is poured on the tower and set on fire, and if the enemy puts it out with water, it will make the fire even bigger." Yelu Abaoji was overjoyed, and immediately selected 30,000 cavalry to attack Youzhou.Empress Shulu laughed and said, "How can you attack a country just to test a kind of oil?" Then she pointed to a tree in front of the tent and asked Yelu Abaoji, "If this tree doesn't have bark, can it still be used?" Live?" Yelu Abaoji said: "Of course not." Empress Shulu said: "The city of Youzhou is like this tree. We only need to send 3,000 cavalry to ambush the surrounding fields and plunder the surrounding fields, which is like stripping Youzhou. There is no food to eat in the city, and within a few years, they will naturally be in trouble, why act so rashly, if they fail to win, they will be ridiculed by the Han people, and our newly established empire may also disintegrate." Yelu Abaoji only to stop. (Menghuo oil seems to be oil. The "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty mentioned it for the first time, saying that black soot was used to make ink, but the matter of describing the law, I am afraid that the tail system is to promote her wisdom. Made it out of thin air. Otherwise, five months later, the Khitan will besiege Youzhou, why not take out the "Menghuoyou" for a try.)

In March, Lu Wenjin led the Khitan army to launch a fierce attack on Xinzhou. Governor An Jinquan was unable to resist, so he gave up the city and fled.Lu Wenjin ordered his general Liu Yin to take over as the governor and put him on strict guard.Jin Wang Li Cunxu ordered Zhou Dewei to assemble the field troops in the three theaters of Hedong (headquarters in Taiyuan), Yiwu (headquarters in Dingzhou), and Chengde (headquarters in Zhenzhou) to strengthen the counterattack against Xinzhou, which could not be conquered within ten days.The Khitan Emperor (the first Taizu) Yelu Abao led an army of 300,000 people to rescue him. Zhou Dewei had few people and many enemies, so he was defeated by the Khitan and fled back.

5. Ma Yin (66 years old this year), King of Southern Chu (the first king of Wumu, the capital of Tanzhou) sent his younger brother Ma Cun to attack Shanggao (Shanggao County, Jiangxi Province) of Southern Wu (capital Yangzhou), and returned with plunder . 6. The Khitan took advantage of the victory to pursue Zhou Dewei and surrounded Youzhou, claiming to have an army of one million people. The felt carts and tents specially made to resist the severe cold in the north were all over the mountains and plains.Lu Wenjin taught them siege tactics, dug tunnels, and attacked fiercely from all directions day and night. Zhou Dewei also dug trenches in the city, filled them with grease, and burned them with fire to stop them.The Khitan piled up another mountain of soil and pressed against the city wall. The defenders in the city poured molten copper juice on the mountain, killing Khitan soldiers every day by the unit of thousands, but the offensive still could not be stopped.Zhou Dewei sent an envoy to urgently ask for help from Li Cunxu, king of Jin. Li Cunxu was confronting the army of Later Liang on the bank of the Yellow River. He wanted to send an army to rescue, but there were too few troops; Unable to conceal his worries, he held a military meeting to discuss. Only Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie), Li Cunshen (Fu Cunshen), and Yan Bao suggested that Li Cunxu should send troops to reinforce him. Emperor Li Shimin) had a Li Jing who was able to capture Jieli Khan alive (refer to March 630), and now I have three strong generals, so why worry about it!" Li Cunshen and Yan Bao believed that the Khitan army never carried food and never It is impossible to fight for a long time. It is best to wait until they can't plunder in the wilderness, the food is exhausted, and their strength is exhausted. They retreat naturally, and then chase after them.Li Siyuan said: "Zhou Dewei is an important minister of the country, and the situation in Youzhou is critical. In the morning and night, if there are changes in the city, how can we be allowed to wait until the barbarians are exhausted? I would like to be a pioneer." Li Cunxu said, "You are right." That day , ordered to assemble.

In summer, in April, Li Cunxu ordered Li Siyuan to lead the army to set off first and stationed in Laishui (Laishui County, Hebei Province).Yan Bao led the Yiwu and Chengde Second World War Zone Task Forces to advance. 7. Xu Zhigao (Li Zhigao), governor of Shengzhou in Southern Wu (Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province), built cities and government buildings, which are very spectacular (Xu Zhigao managed Shengzhou, refer to May 912). In May, Xu Wen, the Duke of Qi (commander of Zhenhai), inspected Lizhou and counties in the territory under his jurisdiction, and came to Shengzhou, loving its prosperity and prosperity.Runzhou (Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) Military Affairs Secretary (Sima) Chen Yanqian therefore suggested that Xu Wen move the headquarters to Shengzhou, Xu Wen agreed, and then transferred Xu Zhigao (Li Zhigao) to be the commander of the Runzhou militia (regiment training envoy. Higher than the governor of the prefecture) level one).Xu Zhigao asked to be transferred to Xuanzhou (Ningguo Theater Headquarters, Xuanzhou City, Anhui Province). Xu Wen refused. It is only a Yangtze River away from Guangling (the city where the capital of Southern Wu Yangzhou Prefecture Government is located, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province), this is the grace of God, you should be grateful (Xu Zhixun stayed in the capital Yangzhou, refer to August 915).” Xu Zhigao was overjoyed and went to work immediately.Sanlang refers to Xu Zhixun, the eldest son of Xu Wen (the eldest son should be called "Dalang", but for some reason he is called "Sanlang").Xu Wen ordered Chen Yanqian to be the military executive officer (Jiedu magistrate) of the Zhenhai theater (the headquarters was relocated to Shengzhou). Xu Wen was only in charge of important events, and Chen Yanqian had full authority to handle other routine documents.Jianghuai (Eastern China) is known as having good law and order and clear politics.Chen Yanqian is from Changzhou (Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province).

8. Gao Jichang, the commander (Jiedushi) of the Jingnan War Zone (headquarters in Jiangling Prefecture) of Houliang, reconciled with Kong Cheng (sound qing), the commander of the Shannan Dongdao War Zone (headquarters in Xiangzhou), and Gao Jichang resumed paying tribute to the central government (two people Conflict and cessation of tribute, see December 912). 9. In autumn, on July 3rd, Emperor Wang Jian (71 years old this year) of the Great Han Empire (reformed from the former Shu Empire and the capital city of Chengdu) ordered Sang Hongzhi (Li Jiji) to be the first commanding officer of the Northwest Front Army (Northwest Front) The first recruit), Wang Zonghong was the commander of the second expedition of the Northeast Front Army (the second recruit in the Northeast).

On July 12th, Wang Jian ordered Wang Zongkan (Tian Shikan), who is also the Supreme Legislator (and Zhongshu Ling), to be the commander of the Northeast Front Army's general expedition (all recruits from the Northeast), and the commander of the Wuxin Theater (headquartered in Suizhou) Liu Zhijun was the commander of the Northwest Front Army's General Expedition and Suppression (all recruits from the Northwest), and he was preparing to take military action against Qi State (the capital Fengxiang Mansion). 10. Jin Wang Li Cunxu thought that Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie) and Yan Bao's army was too small to deal with Khitan, so he decided to reinforce them again. On July 24, Li Cunxu ordered Li Cunshen (Fu Cunshen) to lead the army to advance. 11. Tang Wenyi (Yi), the manager of the Royal Flying Dragon Royal Stables (Flying Dragon Envoy) of the Great Han Dynasty (the capital of Chengdu in the former Shu Dynasty), actually holds power in the central government. 2) Mao Wenxi, the executive officer of the Imperial General Staff Headquarters (sentenced to the Privy Council), competes for favor and power.Mao Wenxi is going to marry his daughter to the son of Yu Chuansu, the top left executive of the State Council (Zuo Pushe) and deputy legislator (also Zhongshu Minister), second-level real prime minister Yu Chuansu. Wang Jian was not reported in advance.Wang Jian was very strange when he heard the sound of the music; Tang Wenyi immediately seized the opportunity and slandered and framed Wang Jian, and Wang Jian was furious. On August 13, Wang Jian demoted Mao Wenxi as Secretary General of Military Affairs (Sima) in Maozhou (Mao County, Sichuan Province); Mao Xun, his son, deputy director of the Civil Service Department of the State Council (Sifeng Yuanwailang), was exiled in Weizhou (Sichuan Province) Provincial Li County), all family wealth was confiscated, men were slaves and women were slaves; Mao Wenxi's younger brother, royal literary research officer (Hanlin Bachelor) Mao Wenyan was demoted to be a defense officer (county lieutenant) of the Rongjing (Yingjing County, Sichuan Province) county government.Yu Chuansu was resigned from office and changed to Minister of Engineering of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry); appointed Yu Ningji, the president of the Royal Academy of Literature (Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi), to temporarily serve as the executive officer of the Palace Secrets Department (Quanjuannei Privy Council).Yu Ningji is the younger brother of Yu Chuansu. 12. Liu Yan (29 years old), the commander of Qinghai (Guangzhou headquarters) and Jianwu (Yongzhou headquarters) theaters, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Panyu (the county where the Guangzhou state government is located, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), called the Dayue Empire, An edict of amnesty was issued, and the name of the reign was changed to Qianheng.Zhao Guangyi, Imperial Envoy of the Later Liang Dynasty, was appointed Minister of Defense of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of War), Yang Dongqian, the former deputy commander of the war zone (Deputy Envoy of the Ministry of War), was appointed Vice Minister of Defense of the State Council (Ministry Minister of the Ministry of War), and Li Yinheng, the former military executive officer (Jiedu judge), was appointed Education of the State Council The deputy minister of the Ministry (Ministry Minister of the Ministry of Rites), and all three of them are also second-level real prime ministers (Tongping Zhangshi).Liu Yan built three royal ancestral temples, honoring his grandfather Liu Anren, posthumously titled Taizu Wen Emperor, father Liu Qian (refer to December 1894), posthumously named Daizu Shengwu Emperor, and elder brother Liu Yin (refer to September 11 In March of the year), the posthumous title of Emperor Lie Zongxiang promoted Guangzhou to Xingyu Special City (Xingwangfu). 13. The Khitan army surrounded Youzhou for more than two hundred days, and the city was in danger.Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie), Yan Bao, and Li Cunshen, with a total of 70,000 infantry and cavalry, assembled in Yizhou (Yixian County, Hebei Province). Li Cunshen said: "The barbarians have many people, but we have few people. We are cavalry, and we are all infantry. If we encounter the barbarians in the plains, thousands of barbarians will attack and ravage our position, and none of us will be left." Li Siyuan said: "The barbarians never carry food, we all carry food. When we come into contact with the plains, they plunder our food. We don’t need to fight, and we will collapse first. It is better to enter the mountain road, march secretly, go straight to Youzhou, and join the defenders in the city. If we encounter barbarians on the way, we should defend the dangerous position on the spot resistance." On August 17, the Jin army marched northward from Yizhou. On August 23, the Jin army crossed Dafangling (60 kilometers southwest of Beijing) and headed east along the mountain stream.Li Siyuan and his adopted son Li Congke (Wang Congke) led 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Sixty miles away from Youzhou, they suddenly encountered the Khitan army. The Khitan army was shocked and retreated.The Jin army seized the opportunity to outflank and chase after them. The Khitan army was on the mountain, and the Jin army was down the stream. Every time they reached a valley, the Khitan army would launch an interception. Li Siyuan and his son fought hard to advance.Finally arrived at the mountain pass, and more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry had already formed a formation in front of them. The officers and soldiers of the Jin army were exhausted and their faces were pale.Li Siyuan led more than a hundred cavalry to advance first, took off his armor, raised his whip, and shouted to the Khitan soldiers in Khitan language: "You have invaded our borders for no reason. The King of Jin (Li Cunxu) ordered me to lead a million troops to go straight to the west. Lou (the capital of Khitan, Bahrain Left Banner, Inner Mongolia), slaughter your race." Lifting the reins, the mount leaped up, brandished a meteor hammer, and charged into the Khitan position. When they arrived, they all went to the battlefield, the Khitan army retreated, and the Jin army rushed out of the mountain pass.Li Cunshen ordered the infantry to cut off the branches and use them as "antlers" (sharpened wooden stakes half buried in the ground), one branch per person, and when they stopped, they immediately built camps.The Khitan cavalry passed by the camp, and the Jin army in the camp fired a volley of bows, and the arrows filled the sky, covering the sun, making the sky dark, and the corpses of Khitan warriors and horses blocked the road.When the Jin army was about to advance to Youzhou, the Khitan main force was ready for battle.After Li Cunshen ordered the infantry to detour to the Khitan's position, he ordered not to move, but first sent the old and weak soldiers to collect firewood and weeds, set fire to them, dragged them and fled in all directions. Beating the war drum in time, screaming loudly, the two armies began to confront each other. Li Cunshen ordered the infantry ambushing behind the Khitan formation to launch an attack. , tents, armor, weapons, and sheep and horses all over the mountains and plains.The Jin army pursued and killed the captives in units of ten thousand. On August 24th, when Li Siyuan and others entered Youzhou, Zhou Dewei saw them, held hands and wept. The Khitan appointed Lu Wenjin as the alternate commander of the Lulong theater (headquartered in Youzhou) (remaining behind), and later ordered him to serve as the actual commander of the Lulong theater.Lu Wenjin usually lives in Pingzhou (Lulong County, Hebei Province), and every year he leads cavalry from the Xi tribe (upper Luan River) into the northern border of Shanxi, killing officials and people.The Jin army transported grain from Waqiao (Xiong County, Hebei Province) to Jicheng (the city where the government of Youzhou Prefecture is located, Beijing). Although they sent troops to escort them, they still could not avoid losses.And every time the Khitan attacked, Lu Wenjin led a special force composed of Han people as their guide.The states and counties under the jurisdiction of the Lulong theater are dilapidated. l4 Later Liang Xuanyi (headquarters in Huazhou) Commander Liu Po, from Huazhou (Hua County, Henan Province) went to the central court, and the central officials traced his responsibility for the failure of Heshuo (Hebei Plain) (the defeat of Weizhou, refer to 916) February). In September, Liu Poyao was removed from his position as the second-level prime minister (Pingzhangshi·envoy), and demoted to Bozhou (Bozhou City, Anhui Province) militia commander (tuanlian envoy). 15. In winter, on October 23rd, Hou Liang conferred the title of Marshal of the World Army and Horses on Qian Liu (66 years old this year. Liu, the capital of Hangzhou) of Wuyue King (the first King of Wusu and the capital of Hangzhou). 16. King Li Cunxu of Jin returned to Jinyang (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province) from Weizhou (Daming County, Hebei Province).Li Cunxu went out for military campaigns year after year. All the political affairs of the palace and the headquarters were handled by Zhang Chengye, the chief eunuch (supervisor of the army). Zhang Chengye persuaded and encouraged the people to plant mulberry and farmland, save money and food, buy weapons and horses, collect taxes, and enforce laws and regulations very strictly. Therefore, the government in the capital is clean and clean, and the military pay is never in short supply.Sometimes Li Cunxu urgently needed money to gamble or give rewards to actors, but Zhang Chengye was always reluctant to use it indiscriminately and refused to appropriate it.Li Cunxu arranged a banquet in the treasury and ordered his son Li Jiji (same name as former Shu general Sang Hongzhi) to dance a special dance for Zhang Chengye. Zhang Chengye gave him a treasure belt and a horse as thanks.Li Cunxu pointed to the money in the treasury, called Li Jiji by his baby name, and said to Zhang Chengye: "When Brother He (Li Jiji) is short of money, Brother Seven (Zhang Chengye) might as well give him a cabinet, just a treasure belt and a horse. It seems that it is not enough." Zhang Chengye said: "The presents for my lord are all bought from my own salary. The money in the treasury is used by the king to support soldiers. I dare not use the things from the public house as personal favors. "Li Cunxu was very unhappy, relying on a little bit of alcohol, reprimanded and insulted, Zhang Chengye said angrily: "I am just an old imperial eunuch (emperor), and I don't plan for my children and grandchildren. I just cherish these stocks and help them. Your Majesty has achieved hegemony. Otherwise, Your Majesty can just take it away and use it, and then ask me what I am doing? I am afraid that the money will be exhausted, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the King will accomplish nothing.” Li Cunxu was furious, and turned to Li Shaorong (Yuan Xingqin) to ask for the sword, Zhang Chengye He stood up, grabbed Li Cunxu's clothes, and said with tears: "I accept the mission of the former king (Li Keyong) to entrust the orphans at the end of his life, and vow to eradicate the thieves (Zhu Quanzhong and his son) in Bianzhou (Kaifeng City, Henan Province) for the country. If you die at the hands of the king, you can have a clear conscience when you go to the king in the underground, so please do it now." Yan Bao wanted to break Zhang Chengye's hand and ordered him to back down, Zhang Chengye jumped up and punched Yan Bao to the ground , yelling and cursing: "Yan Bao, you were originally a party of Zhu Wen (Yan Bao descended to Jin, refer to August 916), and you were greatly favored by the King of Jin (Li Cunxu). To please the leader, yes or no!" Li Cunxu's mother, Mrs. Cao Tai, received the report and urgently sent someone to summon Li Cunxu. At this time, Li Cunxu was sober, and kowtowed to Zhang Chengye to apologize, saying: "I drank two cups of wine and offended Brother Seven. (Zhang Chengye), also offended Mrs. Tai! Seventh brother, drink a few drinks for me, so that you can help me share a little sin!" Li Cunxu drank four glasses in a row, but Zhang Chengye refused.When Li Cunxu entered the palace, Mrs. Cao sent someone to apologize to Zhang Chengye and said: "I have offended Tejin ("Tejin", the second level of Tang Dynasty Wensan official, the second grade, Zhang Chengye's official name at this time), and I have beaten him just now." Stop!" The next day, Madam Cao and Li Cunxu went to Zhang Chengye's home to apologize in person.Soon after, Li Cunxu issued an edict in the name of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and awarded Zhang Chengye: Kaifu Yitong Sansi (the first level of Wensanguan Cong Yipin), Zuowei (the first army of the Wei Army) general, and the title of Yan Guogong.Zhang Chengye resolutely declined and refused to accept. He only claimed the official title given to him when the Tang Dynasty was still alive. Confidential secretary (secretary in charge) Lu Zhi, who likes to drink, is arrogant and frivolous. He once called several of Li Cunxu's younger brothers "pigs" and "dogs", and Li Cunxu held a grudge.Zhang Chengye was afraid that one day, Lu Zhi would be in great trouble, so he found an opportunity to say to Li Cunxu: "Lu Zhi always offends the king for no reason, let me kill him for the king." Li Cunxu said: "I am going in all directions. Recruit talented people to complete the great cause of restoring the country and building the country, how do you say that?" Zhang Chengye stood up and congratulated him, saying: "Your Majesty has such a mind, why worry about the world not being peaceful!" Lu Zhi was thus spared. Li Cunxu's first wife, Ms. Han, Mrs. Wei Guo, his second wife, Ms. Yi, Mrs. Yan Guo, and his third wife, Ms. Liu, Mrs. Wei Guo. Ms. Liu is the most favored.Ms. Liu's father is from Cheng'an (Cheng'an County, Hebei Province), and he makes a living by fortune-telling and medical treatment (he claims to be from Liushan).When Ms. Liu was young, General Yuan Jianfeng of the Jin Army (refer to April 1916) snatched her and sent her to the palace. She was cunning, fierce, lustful and jealous, and lived with Li Cunxu in Weizhou.The old man heard that his daughter had already enjoyed the glory and wealth, so he went to the Weizhou Palace to see him.Li Cunxu summoned Yuan Jianfeng to identify her, and Yuan Jianfeng said: "When I got my wife, there was an old man with a yellow beard who protected her. This is the man." Li Cunxu then told Ms. Liu that Ms. Liu was competing with other wives, big and small, boasting of their family background , the appearance of her father exposed her humble and humble family background, which made her old and angry. Dad suffered a terrible misfortune and died at the hands of the rebels, I guarded his body and wept for him, and then left, where is this old country old man who dares to come here and talk nonsense!" Ordering Liu Shanren to be dragged outside the palace gate, a meal whipping. Bo Yang said: Every whip on Liu Shanren's body is a wail, calling for women, which breaks one's heart.When he healed his wounds and returned to his former residence in the dilapidated house, and saw the horrified eyes of those relatives and friends who knew about his trip, he might not be able to shed tears, but what would be shed would be blood from his heart.His biggest confusion should be: he doesn't understand why the little daughter he misses day and night, snatched from his arms by soldiers, doesn't recognize her father? When ungrateful behavior is regarded as commonplace and even praised and encouraged by many people, this society will be condemned by God, and it is mercilessly condemned! 17. Liu Yan, the emperor of the Dayue Empire, sent Liu Tang, a protocol officer (envoy of Hakka province), to Southern Wu (capital Yangzhou) to inform him that he had ascended the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and advised the Southern Wu king Yang Longyan to also ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. 18. On October 2nd, the Great Han Emperor (the first emperor of the former Shu Dynasty) Wang Jian promoted Yu Ningji, the executive officer of the Royal Confidential Administration (in the Privy Council) to be the Minister of Civil Affairs of the State Council (the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials), and the director of the Royal Confidential Administration (in the Privy Council) Make). On November 1st, the winter solstice, Wang Jian went to the round altar in the southern suburbs to offer sacrifices to the gods. 18. Li Cunxu, king of Jin, heard the news that the Yellow River was freezing and closing (the river freezes, first from the two banks, gradually extending to the center line, and finally closing. After the ice hardens, the river becomes a huge ice, which can pass through troops and vehicles. If the cold is not enough, the ice cannot close, and there is still a line of flowing water in the center, and the ice layer is fragile. During this period, it will be difficult for dogs and horses to cross). , is a god-sent opportunity." Immediately went to Weizhou. 20. Emperor Jian of the Han Dynasty ordered Liu Zhijun to be the commander of the general expedition (recruit envoys), but the generals under his command were all old subordinates of Wang Jian and old heroes of the empire. They didn't listen to his orders very much, and they were jealous of his The subdued general is high above, so he cannot win on the battlefield.Tang Wenyu continued to slander in the middle, and Wang Jian was also afraid of Liu Zhijun's talent. He once said to his cronies: "I am old, and Liu Zhijun is not someone who listens to you." On December 6, Wang Jian arrested Liu Zhijun, falsely accused him of treason, tied him to the market and beheaded him. Bo Yang said: Observing from the fact that Wang Jian was afraid of Liu Zhijun, Liu Zhijun was a brave general. One of him rebelled against Zhu Quanzhong, and then Li Maozhen, just to protect the lives of his family, but unexpectedly, he finally died at the hands of Wang Jian, who was also a warlord. ! On December 8, the Great Han Dynasty (former Shu and the capital of Chengdu) amnesty, and the reign name of the next year (918) will be changed to Guangtian. 21. On December 17, Zhu Youzhen, Emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty (third term), ordered Zhang Zongxi (Zhang Quanyi, the special mayor of Luoyang, Xidu) to be the deputy marshal of the army and horses that day. Zhu Youzhen was rewarded for his meritorious service in the military operation to put down the Qingzhou (Qingyang County, Gansu Province) rebellion (refer to December 1916). On December 22, Zhu Youzhen ordered Zuo Longhu (Third Army of the Forbidden Army) to lead the army (cong second rank) He Yun, who was also a second-level prime minister, and served as the commander of the Xuanyi theater (headquartered in Huazhou).Soon, he was appointed as the commander of the Northern Army Corps (Northern camp recruitment envoy). 22. On December 23, Li Cunxu, king of Jin, set off from Weizhou to hunt until Chaocheng (a town in the southwest of Shenxian County, Shandong Province. Chaocheng is 50 kilometers away from the southeast of Weizhou by air, and another 15 kilometers away. to the ancient Yellow River).That day, the weather was extremely cold. Li Cunxu found that the Yellow River was frozen and hard, so he led a mixed infantry and cavalry unit to cross the Yellow River tentatively.At this time, 3,000 Houliang soldiers were stationed at Yangliu City (Yangliu Township, northeast of Dong'e County, Shandong Province, and the ferry on the south bank of the ancient Yellow River). He ordered the infantry to cut down their antler fortifications, fill up the trenches with reeds, and attack violently from all directions at the same time. Previously, Zhao Yan, the material adjustment director of the Houliang (Zuyongshi) and the Minister of Finance of the State Council (Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs), reported to Zhu Youzhen, Emperor of the Houliang: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have not gone to the southern suburbs to worship the gods. Everyone thinks that you are no different from an ordinary prince. , has been despised by all parties. It is best to go to the Western Capital (Henan Prefecture, Luoyang City, Henan Province) to perform this great ceremony, and at the same time pay a visit to the Xuanling Mausoleum (the tomb of the first emperor Zhu Quanzhong, south of Luoyang City)." Prime Minister Jingxiang advised: " Ever since Liu Wei lost in Weizhou, people have been panicked and both public and private have been in trouble. Today, if you want to sacrifice to the heavens at the round altar, you must give out a lot of rewards. In order to pursue false fame, you get real disasters in return. And the powerful enemy is on the north bank of the Yellow River, Your Majesty How could it be rashly dispatched? It should not be too late to hold it until the north is pacified." Zhu Youzhen couldn't listen. On December 24, Zhu Youzhen arrived in Luoyang (the county where the western capital Henan Province is located), inspected the vehicles and clothing, refurbished the palace gate, and the day for the sacrifice in the southern suburbs was confirmed. The army has entered Daliang (the city where the capital Kaifeng is located) and blocked Sishui (west of Sishui Town, Xingyang City, Henan Province).The civil and military officials who followed Zhu Youzhen were worried about the safety of their family members, looked at each other, wept and shed tears. Zhu Youzhen was terrified and didn't know what to do. On December 29, Zhu Youzhen promoted Zhang Zongxi (Zhang Quanyi), the mayor of Luoyang Special City (Henan Yin), to be the left-behind chief of Xidu (Henan Prefecture). 23. This year, Wang Shenzhi, the king of Fujian (the capital of Fuzhou), married the daughter of Emperor Yue (one of the great ancestors) Liu Yan for his son, Wang Yanjun, the commander-in-chief of the police headquarters (commander of Yaneidu). 1. In spring, on the first day of the first lunar month, the Great Han Empire (the former Shu and the capital Chengdu) amnesty, and the former Shu Kingdom was restored (Wang Jian suddenly changed the country name to Dahan, refer to December 1916). 2. Zhu Youzhen (31 years old), the emperor of the Later Liang Empire (the capital of Kaifeng), hurriedly returned to Daliang (the city of Kaifeng, the capital) from Luoyang (the county where the western capital Henan Prefecture is located · Luoyang City, Henan Province), The Jin State (capital Taiyuan Prefecture) army invaded the borders of Yun (Dongping County, Shandong Province) and Pu (Juancheng County, Shandong Province), and plundered wantonly.Prime Minister Jingxiang Shangshu said: "Over the years, the army has been depleted and the territory has been shrinking day by day. Your Majesty lives in the deep palace, and the people who discuss major issues are all officials familiar with the left and right. How can you evaluate the relationship between the two countries?" Success or failure? When the first emperor (the first Ren Zhu Quanzhong) was alive, he owned the entire territory of Hebei (Hebei Province), and personally led heroes to conquer the north and south, but the results were still unsatisfactory. Now, the enemy has entered Yunzhou (Dongping, Shandong Province) County), His Majesty does not seem to be worried (Yunzhou is south of the Yellow River). I heard that Li Yazi (that is, Li Cunxu) has conquered cities and territories for ten years since he inherited the throne. (Yangliu Township, Northeast of Dong'e County, Shandong Province, Ferry on the South Bank of the Ancient Yellow River), Li Cunxu personally carried the reed on his back, took the lead, and conquered it in one go. His majesty is elegant and calm, but he only ordered He Yun and his like to wipe out the bandits and enemies (Appoint He Guan to replace Liu Wei as the commander-in-chief, refer to December 22, 1917), I really don’t know what will happen in the future. Your Majesty had better listen to the opinions of veteran cadres extensively, and find another countermeasure. Otherwise If so, the disaster is just the beginning. Although I am stupid and cowardly, I have received great kindness from the empire. If Your Majesty really can't find talents, please send me to the front line to serve." After the memorial was submitted, Zhao Yan, Zhang Hanjie and other gang of five accused Jingxiang was full of resentment and complaints, so Zhu Youzhen ignored his suggestion. 3. Southern Wu (the capital of Yangzhou) ordered Wang Qi, the general manager of the right-wing battalion (you Du Ya), to be the commander-in-chief of the Qianzhou (Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province) task force (commander of the battalion), and assembled Hong (Jiangxi Province) Nanchang City), Fu (Linchuan City, Jiangxi Province), Yuan (Yichun City, Jiangxi Province), and Ji (Jian City, Jiangxi Province) four prefecture armies attacked Tan Quanbo who was guarding Qianzhou.The think tank Yan Keqiu spent huge sums of money to recruit Ganshi (Ganshitan in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, which is a dangerous place on the Ganjiang River, refer to June 28, 551), so the Southern Wu army suddenly arrived at the city, and the Qianzhou defenders Only then did I suddenly discover. 4. Wang Zongyan, the prince of the former Shu Empire (the capital of Chengdu), liked to drink, love women, and indulge in games for fun.The former Emperor of Shu (one of the great ancestors) Wang Jian (72 years old this year) once passed by Jiacheng (the prince’s residential area, modeled after the sixteen houses of the Tang Dynasty), and heard Wang Zongyan and other princes fighting cocks, playing football, and making a lot of noise. The noisy voice spread outside, and sighed and said: "I have experienced many battles and established a foundation. Can these people keep it?" Therefore, he hated the prime minister Zhang Ge very much (Zhang Ge recommended Wang Zongyan, refer to September 13 October of 2011), but Concubine Xu Xian made decisions for him in the palace, and Wang Jian could not rule out Zhang Ge.Wang Zongjie, the king of faith, was capable of strategizing and had repeatedly put forward opinions on current affairs. Wang Jian admired him very much, so he intended to depose Wang Zongyan and change his title to Wang Zongjie. On February 20th, Wang Zongjie passed away suddenly, and Wang Jian became suspicious. 5. Xie Yanzhang, Commander (Jiedushi) of the Heyang War Zone (headquartered in Mengzhou) of Houliang (Capital Kaifeng Prefecture), and Northern Army Supervisor (Northern Camp and Array Envoy), led tens of thousands of troops to counterattack Yangliucheng. 二月二十一日，晋王（首都太原府）李存勖（本年三十四岁）从魏州（河北省大名县）率轻装备骑兵抵达黄河北岸。谢彦章修筑堡垒坚守，决开黄河，水流淹没好几里，阻挠晋军前进，晋军果然寸步难行。谢彦章，是许州（河南省许昌市）人。杨刘城前守将安彦之的残兵败将，多半聚集在兖（山东省兖州市）、郓（山东省东平县）二州山谷水涧，当起强盗，观望两国胜负。李存勖派人招募，他们很多归降李存勖。 6、二月己亥日（二月甲辰朔，没有己亥），前蜀帝王建命东方军团征剿司令（东面招讨使）王宗侃（田师侃）当东西两路军总指战官（东、西两路诸军都统）。 7、三月，吴越王（一任武肃王·首都杭州）钱镠（本年六十七岁）开始成立全国兵马元帅府，任命文武百官。 8、夏季，四月一日，前蜀帝王建封皇子王宗平当忠王，王宗特当资王。 9、岐王（一任忠敬王·首都凤翔府）李茂贞（宋文通，本年六十三岁）再派使节向前蜀（首都成都府）要求和解通好（两国断交七年，参考九一一年三月）。 10、四月七日，后梁命国务院文官部副部长（吏部侍郎）萧顷当副立法长（中书侍郎）、二级实质宰相（同平章事。萧顷是萧廩之子；萧廩，参考八八〇年十二月三日）。 保大战区（总部设鄜州）司令官高万金逝世。 四月二十一日，后梁帝（三任）朱友贞命忠义战区（总部设延州）司令官高万兴，兼保大（总部鄜州）司令官，同时镇守鄜（陕西省富县）、延（陕西省延安市）二州（高万金、高万兴是兄弟，如今二战区事权集中为一）。 司空（三公之三）兼副监督长（兼门下侍郎）、二级实质宰相赵光逢，请求辞职。 四月二十七日，中央命赵光逢以司徒（三公之二）名义退休。 11、前蜀帝王建自九一五年之后，身患重病，有时神志错乱，近年以来越发严重，因北方军团征剿司令（北面行营招讨使）兼最高立法长（兼中书令·使相）王宗弼（魏弘夫），沉默安静，充满智谋。 五月，王建命王宗弼班师，当步骑兵总指挥官（马步都指挥使）。 五月三日，王建命帝国重要高级官员进入卧室，对他们说：“太子（王宗衍）仁慈懦弱，只因我当初不能违背各位的意思，才超越长幼次序，封他当太子，如果他没有能力承担大业，可以把他软禁一个宫院，但千万不要诛杀，只要是王家子弟，由各位挑选一位辅佐。徐贤妃的兄弟，给他们高官厚禄，就很够了，不要让他们掌握军权、干预政治，用以保全他们家族。” 皇家飞龙马厩管理官（内飞龙使）唐文扆，长期统御禁军，参与机密事务，打算趁着王建病势垂危的当儿，排除若干重要高官，于是派人封锁宫门。王宗弼（魏弘夫）等三十余人，每天到金銮宝殿问安，却不能进宫，大家强烈要求晋见，唐文扆总是以王建的命令来安抚搪塞，只等王建断气，即发动政变。唐文扆又派他的同党皇城管理官（内皇城使）宦官潘在迎侦查外面消息，而潘在迎却把阴谋告诉王宗弼等，王宗弼等遂撞破宫门，强行进宫，向王建揭发唐文扆。王建命天册府（即天策府，参考九一四年正月）机要秘书（掌书记）崔延昌，暂管六军（权判六军事。王建先剥夺唐文扆军权，才能行动）。召唤太子王宗衍进宫侍候老爹。 五月四日，王建下令把唐文扆贬作眉州（四川省眉山县）州长，皇家文学研究院院长（翰林学士承旨）王保晦，被认为是唐文扆的摇尾分子，剥夺所有官职爵位，流放泸州（四川省泸州市）。潘在迎是潘炕的儿子（潘炕，参考九一〇年三月）。 五月二十四日，王建下诏：“不论中央地方财税田赋、宰相联合办公厅（中书）人事任免事，以及司法审判跟监狱管理，都交给庾凝绩全权裁决；首都成都城及各野战军，凡军事政治有关事项，都交给宫廷事务南院总监（宣徽南院使）宋光嗣全权裁决。” 五月二十五日，王建再下诏：罢黜唐文扆官职爵位，流放雅州（四川省雅安市）。 五月二十九日，王建命宋光嗣当宫廷机要署总监（内枢密使），会同兼最高立法长（兼中书令）王宗弼、王宗瑶（姜郅）、王宗绾（李绾）、王宗夔，一起接受遗诏辅政。 最初，王建遵循唐王朝制度，设立帝国参谋总部指挥官（枢密使），但用知识分子担任，不用宦官（参考九〇八年正月注）。可是等到唐文扆犯罪，王建因各将领都是许州（河南省许昌市）同患难老友，恐怕不接受幼主命令，所以用宋光嗣接替，从此宦官开始接触权柄。 六月一日，王建逝世（享年七十二岁）。 六月二日，太子王宗衍（本年二十岁）登基称帝（二任），尊称娘亲徐贤妃为皇太后，姨妈徐淑妃当皇太妃。命宋光嗣主管六军（判六军诸卫事。禁卫军也落入宦官之手）。 六月十四日，王宗衍斩唐文扆、王保晦。命西方军团副征剿司令（西面招讨副使）王宗昱，诛杀驻守秦州（甘肃省秦安县西北）的天雄战区（总部设秦州）司令官唐文裔，免除左翼保胜军基地司令（左保胜军使）兼京师西城纠察司令（领右街使）唐道崇官职。 12、南吴（首都扬州）全国步骑混合兵团基地司令（内外马步都军使）、昌化战区（总部不详）司令官、二级实质宰相徐知训，骄傲凶暴，荒淫无道。威武战区（总部设福州）司令官（空头官衔。此时福州属闽国）、代理抚州（江西省临川市）州长李德诚，家有歌女数十人，徐知训向李德诚索取，李德诚派人对徐知训道歉说：“我家现有的歌女，年龄都已很大，有的甚至生了儿子，没有资格侍奉贵人，容我为你物色更年轻貌美的女子。”徐知训大怒，告诉使节说：“看我哪一天诛杀李德诚，连他的元配妻子也弄过来上床。” 徐知训常戏弄南吴王杨隆演（本年二十二岁），一点君王臣属的礼节都没有。有一次，跟杨隆演一起演戏，徐知训扮主角参谋官（参军），杨隆演扮配角家奴，把头发扎到头顶，身穿破衣，手拿一顶烂帽，在后面跟随。又有一次，在浊河（今地不详）划船，杨隆演先上岸，徐知训立刻用弹弓照他背后发射。曾经到禅智寺（江苏省扬州市东）赏花，徐知训借酒装疯，态度恶劣，杨隆演十分恐惧，不禁哭泣流泪，在座的官员都浑身发抖；侍从们扶杨隆演上船，徐知训乘小艇在后追赶，但追赶不上，于是暴跳如雷，用铁锤当场打死杨隆演左右侍从，文武官员没有人敢说一句话。老爹徐温却一点也不知道。 徐知训跟他的老弟徐知询（徐温次子），从没有把徐知诰（李知诰）看在眼里，只有幼弟徐知谏（徐温第四子）把徐知诰当做兄长尊敬。徐知训曾经召集兄弟饮酒，徐知诰未能赴宴，徐知训发怒说：“这个叫花子，不想吃酒，难道想吃剑！”有一次，跟徐知诰一起进餐，设下埋伏，打算席上把他诛杀，徐知谏照徐知诰脚上踩一下示警，徐知诰声称要去洗手间，遂悄悄逃走。徐知训把佩剑交给左右侍从刁彦能，命他追杀，刁彦能鞭马狂奔，在中途追上，但只举起佩剑向徐知诰示意，即行折回，报告徐知训说没有追上。 平卢战区（总部设青州）司令官（空头官衔。此时青州属后梁）、二级实质宰相、全国各战区道副总指战官（诸道副都统）朱瑾，派婢女到徐知训家问安。徐知训对她打算强暴，朱瑾心里已不高兴。而徐知训对朱瑾的官位在自己之上，也不高兴，遂在泗州（江苏省盱眙县淮河北岸）设静淮战区，命朱瑾出任司令官。朱瑾越发怀恨，但表面上，却对徐知训更加恭敬谨慎。朱瑾有匹心爱的骏马，冬天怕它冷，养在厚厚的帐幕里，夏天怕蚊子叮，养在薄薄的纱罩中。朱瑾又有一个歌舞女郎，艳丽盖世。朱瑾前往泗州上任前夕，徐知训到朱瑾家送行，朱瑾摆设筵席，亲自给徐知训酌酒，唤出宠爱的女郎唱歌，又把心爱的马赠给徐知训，徐知训大喜。朱瑾遂把他请到内室，而在门里埋伏勇士，请妻子陶女士（歙州州长陶雅的女儿）出来，下跪叩头，徐知训也叩头回拜，朱瑾用笏版在后面猛击，把他打倒在地，呼唤埋伏的勇士出来，砍下徐知训的人头。朱瑾先前在廊下拴两匹悍马，将要动手的时候，密令解开缰绳，两匹悍马遂互相踢咬打斗，吵闹嘶叫，声音凄厉，所以内室动作，外面的人全听不到。朱瑾提着徐知训的人头出来，徐知训的卫士数百人看见，一哄而散。朱瑾奔驰到王府，把人头拿给杨隆演观看，说：“我已替大王除去一个大害。”杨隆演魂飞天外，用衣服遮住脸，逃回卧房，说：“舅父自己担当（杨行密元配妻子姓朱，所以称朱瑾舅父，官场友情，平时越浓越近越好），我什么都不知道。”朱瑾说：“你这个婊子养的，不能成大事。”把徐知训的人头摔到柱子上，拔剑而出，内城警卫司令（子城使）翟虔等已率军关闭城门搜捕。朱瑾遂从后院翻墙而出，不料落地时脚踝摔伤，回头对追兵说：“我替千万人铲除祸害，一身承当后果。”遂刎颈自杀（本年五十二岁。徐知训的顽劣凶恶行径，简直用的是高澄同一剧本，参考五四九年八月）。 徐知诰在润州（江苏省镇江市）得到事变消息，采用宋齐丘的谋略，立即率军北渡长江（润扬二州，相距二十五千米），朱瑾已死，徐知诰开始稳定人心，恢复秩序。当时，齐国公爵徐温的其他儿子，都年幼力弱。徐温遂命徐知诰代替徐知训，接管南吴国政。把朱瑾的尸首沉到雷塘池（江苏省扬州市西北七千米），全族屠灭。（朱瑾于八九七年二月奔扬州，重建新家，迄今二十二年，虽除一害，却竟无丝毫计划，一门被屠。） 朱瑾诛杀徐知训时，泰宁战区（总部设兖州）司令官（空头官衔。此时兖州属后梁）米志诚，率十余名骑兵追问朱瑾行踪，听到朱瑾已死的消息才回。唐王朝钦差大臣、宣慰特使（宣谕使）李俨（张俨），寄居海陵（江苏省泰州市），贫穷困苦，徐温疑心他们跟朱瑾共谋，于是把二人一起处死（李俨是张濬的儿子，派到扬州。淮南各官，包括杨行密的吴王，和嗣王继承，都由李俨以唐王朝皇帝名义封爵任职，威高望重，参考九〇二年三月、九〇八年七月。想不到时去势转，十七年后，竟连生活都无人照顾，又惨死非命）。严可求恐怕米志诚抗命，于是宣称袁州（江西省宜春市）击败南楚（首都潭州）军队，文武百官都到王府道贺，严可求事先在王府大门里埋伏杀手，把他逮捕，连同他所有的儿子，全部斩首。 13、六月二十一日，晋王李存勖自魏州前往杨刘劳军，亲自驾小船探测河水深浅及流势，发现水深可以淹没长矛。李存勖对各将领说：“后梁军队根本没有意思跟我们作战，只是想倚靠河水保护，希望把我们拖得筋疲力尽。我们不能听他摆布，当蹚水过去攻击。” 六月二十三日，李存勖率大军带头蹚水渡河，其他各军紧随于后，官兵一手拉起铠甲，一手举起刀枪，结成战斗序列前进。当天（六月二十三日），河水水位忽然下落，仅只有淹到膝盖。后梁匡国战区（总部设许州）司令官、北方军团督战官（北面行营排阵使）谢彦章，率部队在黄河南岸迎战。晋军无法登陆，稍稍后撤，后梁军追击，直到中流。晋军战鼓凄厉，齐声呐喊，突然反攻，谢彦章不能支持，又退回南岸。晋军乘胜尾随登陆，后梁军大败，死伤惨重，无法计算，黄河变成血水，谢彦章仅逃出一命。当天（六月二十三日），晋军一连攻陷沿河后梁四个营寨。 柏杨曰： 所有传统史书，包括在内，从来只记死亡人数，不记受伤人数。死者已无知觉，善后工作不过埋葬，而伤者怎么抢救？怎么治疗？医生何在？药品是否有备？所有史册都没有这方面的记载。一场战役下来，死人一千，受伤当有一万（参考九四七年十月二十五日邺都之战），哀号声、求救声，遍布战场，可是对救护组织和行动，却找不到任何资料。 伤兵的命运使人忧心，史书只偶尔承认除了“亡”外，还有“伤”在，杨刘之役，属少数偶尔之一，但是像砍掉双腿、或刺盲双眼，将如何护理看顾，将领们会不会嫌他成为累赘，而下令遗弃，甚至诛杀？希望历史学家，有一天揭开这项悲惨的人权内幕。 前蜀唐文扆死后，太傅（三师之二）、副监督长（门下侍郎）、二级实质宰相张格，感到不安。有人建议张格称病躲在家里，听候命令，可是国务院教育部长（礼部尚书）杨玢，恐怕靠山一倒，自己也会失势，安慰张格说：“你有拥戴皇上（二任王宗衍）当太子的大功（参考九一三年十月），用不着担心！” 六月二十九日，前蜀帝（二任）王宗衍贬张格当茂州（四川省茂县）州长，贬杨玢当荣经（四川省荥经县）防卫员（县尉）；国务院文官部副部长（吏部侍郎）许寂、财政部副部长（户部侍郎）潘峤，都被指控是张格一党，贬官。不久，张格再被贬作维州（四川省理县）户籍官（司户）。宫廷机要总监（内枢密使）庾凝绩继续上疏抨击，于是把张格流窜合水镇（四川省茂县西北），命茂州州长顾承郾暗中打张格的小报告，王宗侃（田师侃）的妻子跟张格同姓，为了保护他，对顾承郾的娘亲说：“警告你的儿子，不要替别人报仇，有一天，会把罪状都推到你儿子头上！”顾承郾接受。庾凝绩大怒，公报私仇，找一个借口，惩罚顾承郾。 秋季，七月一日，前蜀帝王宗衍封兼最高立法长（兼中书令）王宗弼（魏弘夫）当钜鹿王，王宗瑶（姜郅）当临淄王，王宗绾（李绾）当临洮王，王宗播（许存）当临颍王，王宗裔、王宗夔以及兼最高监督长（兼侍中）王宗黯（吉谏），都当琅邪郡王。 七月三日，王宗衍封王宗侃当乐安王。 七月五日，王宗衍命国务院国防部长（兵部尚书）庾传素当太子少保（太子三少之三），兼副立法长（兼中书侍郎）、二级实质宰相。前蜀帝王宗衍，从不过问军国大事，无论中央地方的人事任免升降，都由钜鹿王王宗弼决定。而王宗弼乘机营私舞弊，全国上下，怨声载道。主管六军十二卫（判六军诸卫事）的宦官宋光嗣，生性敏捷，非常会迎合领袖意思，王宗衍对他十分宠爱信任，前蜀开始衰败（建国才十二年，便进入瓶颈）。 15、南吴齐国公爵徐温自昇州（江苏省南京市）到广陵（首都扬州州政府所在县·江苏省扬州市）朝见南吴王杨隆演，怀疑所有将领都参与朱瑾的阴谋，打算大肆杀戮。徐知诰（李知诰）、严可求二人把徐知训的横暴罪过，以及招来大祸的原因，作具体报告，徐温的怒气稍稍化解，乃命用渔网把雷塘池（江苏省扬州市西北七千米）中的朱瑾尸体打捞出来，另行埋葬，责备徐知训部下的文武官员不能及时矫正拯救，全部惩罚；只刁彦能写了很多规劝的信，徐温特加奖赏。 七月二十七日，任命徐知诰当淮南战区（总部设扬州）作战副司令官（节度行军副使），兼中外步骑兵副指挥官（内外马步都军副使）、王府及总部联合执行官（通判府事），兼江州（江西省九江市）民兵司令（团练使）。任命徐知谏暂任润州（江苏省镇江市）民兵司令（权团练事。接替徐知诰）。徐温返回金陵（昇州州政府所在城·江苏省南京市），总揽南吴大政；日常例行工作，则全由徐知诰处理。 徐知诰跟徐知训完全相反，对南吴王杨隆演毕恭毕敬，对知识分子态度谦卑，无论施政或刑罚，都很宽大，自己生活也很节约俭朴。用杨隆演的名义诏令全国：免除九一六年以前所有的欠税，而九一七年以后的欠税，容许延长到庄稼丰收时补缴。徐知诰小心物色贤能人才，采纳部属们的劝告和建议，铲除奸诈邪恶的人，杜绝一切请托关说。军心民意对他都由衷拥护，即令是从前的老将，和强悍的武夫，也没有人不心悦诚服。徐知诰用宋齐丘当他的首席智囊。先前，南吴赋税有“人头税”（丁口钱），又有“田地税”（亩输钱），币值升高，物资低廉，人民生活困苦（米贱则伤农，绸缎布匹贱也伤农）。宋齐丘建议徐知诰说：“钱并不是种田养蚕换来的，而是政府铸造的，而今却拒绝人民使用直接生产的粮食绸缎缴税，而要他用钱缴税，是迫使人民不去追求耕田养蚕，而去追求赚钱，舍弃根本，追求末梢。最好是免除'人头税'，而其他各种赋税，人民都可以缴纳粮食布匹，价格一千钱一匹的绸缎，缴税时可抵现金三千钱。”有人警告说：“如此的话，政府收入，每年将损失亿万钱。”宋齐丘说：“政府虽然失财，但财藏在民间，哪有民间富、国家穷的道理！”（有关人民缴税的方式所带来的影响，在唐王朝时已有人提出，参考七九四年五月。）徐知诰接受。因此，江淮（华东地区）所有荒芜的土地，全辟成良田，遍地都是桑树、柘树（桑树的一种，叶也可以养蚕。柘，音zhe），国家开始富强。 . 徐知诰打算擢用宋齐丘，可是徐温却对他讨厌，只命他当金殿侍从军执行官（殿直军判官）。徐知诰每天晚上跟宋齐丘在四面都是水的湖心凉亭，屏退左右侍从，秘密商谈，一谈就谈到三更夜半。有时候登上高楼，把屋里屏风全部撤除（以防后面藏人），只在当中放一个大火炉，二人默默相对，不说一句话，只用拨火用的铁棒，在炭灰上写字，随手又把它们抹去。所以，他们到底谈些什么，没有一个人知道。 16、南吴围攻虔州（江西省赣州市）很久，虔州险要坚固，所以南吴军不能攻克，军中又忽然发生瘟疫，南吴军统帅王祺也染上疾病。南吴派镇南战区（总部设洪州）司令官刘信，当虔州特遣兵团征剿司令（虔州行营招讨使）。不久，王祺逝世。虔州州长谭全播向吴越（首都杭州）、南楚（首都潭州）、闽国（首都福州），分别紧急求救。吴越王（一任武肃王）钱镠派统兵官（统军使）钱传球当西南方面军增援司令（西南面行营应援使），率军二万人进攻信州（江西省上饶市）；南楚王（一任武穆王）马殷（本年六十七岁）派将领张可求率军一万人，进驻古亭（江西省崇义县西南古亭镇）；闽王王审知派军进驻雩都（江西省于都县。雩，音yu），联合救援。据守信州的南吴军，才几百人，迎战失利，吴越军遂包围城池；州长周本大开城门，在城里搭建很多空篷帐，在城楼上摆设筵席，宴请幕僚人员饮酒作乐，城外射来的箭像下雨一样，周本却安稳地坐在那里，毫不移动。吴越军队认为定有伏兵，不敢进击，而于夜半时候解围退走。南吴派前任舒州（安徽省潜山县）州长陈璋，当东南方面军支援征剿司令（东南面应援招讨使），率军进攻吴越（首都杭州）所属的苏（江苏省苏州市）、湖（浙江省湖州市）二州；吴越将领钱传球自信州向南撤退，驻扎汀州（福建省长汀县）。 晋王李存勖派密使携带信件，绕小道抵达南吴，请求南吴派军北上会师（夹
