Chapter 259 Chapter Seventy-Fifth: Tang Dynasty Seventy-Five

It took three years for Xuan Yi to be in poverty, and every time he met Tige. Spring, the first month, Bingyin, forgive the world, change the Yuan. Li Maozhen of Fengxiang, Wang Xingyu of Jingnan, Han Jian of Zhenguo, Wang Xingyue of Tongzhou, and Li Maozhuang of Qinzhou, the envoys of the fifth festival, said: Yang Shouliang tolerated the rebels and returned their respect. Please send the army to ask for them, and beg for emissaries from the South West Road of Maozhen Mountain .The court discussed that Maozhen won Shannan, which could not be copied, and issued an imperial edict to reconcile it, but none of them listened.

Wang Rong and Li Kuangwei combined more than 100,000 troops to attack Mount Yao, and Li Keyong sent him to attack Li Sixun. Yang Xingmi said to the generals: "Sun Ru has ten times as many people as me, and I am at a disadvantage in the number of battles. If you want to surrender the bronze officer, what should you do?" Liu Wei and Li Shenfu said: "The Confucianism sweeps the ground, and the advantage lies in the quick battle. It is better to occupy dangerous places, Jianbi clears the field with the old teacher, and sometimes sends out light cavalry to copy his salary and rob him of his captives. He can't fight before him, and he has no money to retreat, so he can be captured." Dai Yougui said: "Confucianism and I have held each other for several years, and the victory and defeat are slightly equal. Now I know that all the people are killing me. If I look forward to the wind and abandon the city, I will fall into the trap. The scholars and people in Huainan crossed the river from the public and came from the Confucianism. The public should send the generals to escort them back to Huainan first, so that they can be revived. The Confucian soldiers heard about Huainan Andu, everyone has the heart of longing for home, and the hearts of the people are shaken, and they are invincible!" Xing Miyue, follow it.Yougui is from Luzhou.

Weirong Jiedu envoy Yang Sheng and Yang Shouliang made an appointment to attack Wang Jian. In February, Ding Chou and Sheng sent troops to plunder the borders of Xinfan and Hanzhou. Make Li Jian hit Yao and kill him. In Wuyin, Zhu Quanzhong sent troops to attack Zhu Xuan, and sent his son Youyu to advance to Doumen. Li Maozhen and Wang Xingyu were good at raising troops to attack Xingyuan.Maozhen asked endlessly to recruit envoys, and left Du Rangneng and Ximenjun Sui Shui to slander the imperial court.Shangyi couldn't tolerate it, so Yu Yanying called the prime minister and admonished officials to discuss it.At that time, the eunuch had Yin and the two townsmen who were on the outside and inside, and the prime minister dared not speak, and was unhappy.In the event, Niu Hui said: "There were many difficulties in the previous dynasty, and Mao Zhencheng had the merit of wing guards; Zhu Yang resisted the soldiers and rushed out to attack, and his ambition was also to cure evil, but it was not appropriate to wait for the edict. Compared with Wen Bing Crossing Shannan will kill the most people. If Your Majesty does not recruit envoys to teach them, but use national laws to restrain them, the people in Shannan will be wiped out." Shang said: "This is true." Maozhen was recruited for Shannan West Road envoys.

In Jiashen, when Zhu Quanzhong arrived at Weinan, Zhu Xuan attacked Doumen with ten thousand soldiers on foot. Zhu Youyu abandoned his camp and left, and Xuan occupied his camp.Quanzhong didn't know that Yiyou led troops to Qudoumen, and all those who arrived were killed by the people of Yun.Quanzhong retreated to Huhe, Dinghai, attacked Quanzhong, defeated it, and Quanzhong left.Zhang Guihou fought hard from the rear, Quan Zhong was spared, and Li Fan, the deputy envoy, and others all died. Zhu Quanzhong demoted Zhao Keyu, the Jiedu envoy of Heyang, and Zhang Quanyi, the Jiedu envoy of Youguo, was also the envoy of Heyang Jiedu.

Sun Ru besieged Xuanzhou.At the beginning, Liu Jianfeng guarded Changzhou for Sun Ru, and sent troops from Confucianism to attack Yang Xingmi, and Chen Keyan, the envoy of Ganlu Town, commanded thousands of troops to occupy Changzhou.Zhang Xun, the secret officer, led his troops to the city, and rushed out to meet him. He killed him with his sword, and took Changzhou.Xingmi will take Runzhou again. Zhu Quanzhong attacked Shipu year after year, and the people of Tu, Si, and Hao prefectures could not farm or harvest. The soldiers of Dagon, Yan, and Hedong all failed to save them.Pu is very sleepy, please reconcile with Quanzhong, Quanzhong said: "It is possible to move the town." Pu Xuzhi.Quan Zhongnai asked to move Puta town, and still ordered the minister to town Xuzhou.The edict was to serve as the servant of the door, and Liu Chongwang, who was in charge of Tongping Zhang, was in charge of serving as an envoy of Jiedu, and Pu was the prince and grand teacher.Pu feared that he would be loyal and deceitful and kill him. He would not follow the imperial edict according to the city, but would return him with respect for Wangwang and Huayin.

The loyal envoy Zhao Dezhen passed away and was replaced by Zi Kuangning. Fan Hui's arrogance lost everyone's hearts. Wang Chao took his younger brother Yanfu as the capital commander, and his younger brother Shenzhi as the capital supervisor, and sent troops to attack Fuzhou.The people ask for rice to pay the army, and the barbarians in Pinghu Cave and the coastal area all use warships to help them. Xin Chou and Wang Jian sent their sons, Jiazhou Governor Zongyu, Yazhou Governor Wang Zongkan, and Weixin to command envoy Hua Hong and Maozhou Governor Wang Zongyao to attack Pengzhou with 50,000 troops.Yang Shouliang sent his general, Fu Zhao, to rescue Sheng, and went to Chengdu to camp Sanxue Mountain.Jian urgently called Hua Hong back.Floods arrived, but the rear army had not yet assembled, so hundreds of people went to Zhaoying for a few miles at night, and beat more drums;

In March, Zheng Yanchang, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu and Tongping Zhangshi.Yanchang is also a brother from Congzhi. Zuo Shence bravely won the three capitals and commanded Yang Zishi, Ziqian, and Zizhao, all of whom were guarding Liang's hypocrites, and led troops from Quzhou to rescue Yang Sheng. Yu Wangjian. Li Keyong and Wang Chucun joined forces to attack Wang Rong, Gui Chou, and Batian Changzhen.In Wuwu, Rong fought in Xinshi, defeated it, and killed more than 30,000 people; Xinyou, Keyong retreated to Tunluan City.The edict reconciles Hedong and the four towns of Zhen, Ding and You.

Yang Sheng left Yang Shouzhen, Yang Shouzhong, and Yang Shouhou's books to attack Dongchuan to break the siege of Pengzhou, and Shouzhen and others followed him.The superintendent of Shence, Dou Xingshi, garrisoned Zizhou, and kept thick and secret to lure him as an internal response; he kept thick and went to Fucheng, where he did the actual thing, and Gu Yanhui beheaded him.Shouhou fled.Shouzhen, Shouzhong army arrived, nowhere to return, lingering in Mianmian, Jianjian, Wang Jian sent his general Ji Ji to attack Shouhou and break it.In Guihai, Xichuan sent Li Jian to defend Zhongyang and captured more than 3,000 people.In summer and April, Jane broke Shou Hou Yu Tong Hok, captured more than 3,000 people, and surrendered 15,000 people; Shou Zhong and Shou Hou both left.

In Yiyou, Wu Shengjun was placed in Hangzhou, and Qian Liu was used as a defensive envoy. Jia Desheng, the envoy of the Tianwei Army, was quite resentful at the death of Li Shunjie, so Lord Ximen hated him and killed him.More than a thousand riders under Desheng's command rushed to Fengxiang, and Li Maozhen became stronger. Li Kuangwei sent troops to invade Yun, Dai and Renyin, and Li Keyong began to lead his troops back. At that time, Pu sent troops to invade the south and went to Chuzhou. Yang Xingmi defeated Zhang Xun and Li Decheng in Shouhe, then took Chuzhou and took Liu Zan as its governor.

In May, Wang Xingyu, the Jiedu envoy of Jiabinning, also served as the order of Zhongshu. Yang Xingmi repeatedly defeated Sun Rubing, destroyed his Guangde camp, Zhang Xun stationed in Anji, and cut off his grain road.Confucian food was exhausted, and the soldiers were seriously ill. Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin were sent to plunder the counties.In June, Xingmi heard that Confucianism was suffering from malaria, Wu Yin, and sent troops to attack it.There will be heavy rain and darkness, and the Confucian army will be defeated. An Renyi will destroy more than fifty Confucian villages.Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin recruited 7,000 remaining soldiers, and marched south to Hongzhou. They promoted Jianfeng as the commander, Yin as the vanguard commander, and Zhang Ji, the marching commander, as the mastermind. Compared to Jiangxi, there were more than 100,000 people.

Ding You and Yang Xingmi returned to Yangzhou; autumn, July, Bingchen, to Guangling, Biao Tiankai guarded Xuanzhou, and An Renyi guarded Runzhou. First of all, Yangzhou was the most prosperous in the world, and it was called Yangyi and Yier at that time, and after Qin, Bi, Sun, and Yang fought, the river and Huai River were wiped out for thousands of miles from east to west. Wang Jian besieged Pengzhou for a long time, and all the people fled to hide in the valley; the villages came out to capture and plunder at sunrise, which is called "scouring captives". They would first choose the good ones, and the rest would be divided among the soldiers, as usual. There is a sergeant Wang Xiancheng, a native of Xinjin, who was born in this book. The world is chaotic, and he is a soldier. Among the generals, only Wang Zongkan of Beizhai is the most virtuous. , Cut off the four prefectures to teach them, and the pseudo-office observed the envoys, and rejected the imperial order together with them. Today, Chen and Tian have been leveled, but Sheng still occupies them. The people of the prefectures know that Xichuan is its big mansion and Situ is its lord, so the army began to arrive , the people do not enter the city, but enter the same valley to avoid it, so as to recruit security. The army has been in the army for many months, and has not heard the order to recruit security. Women are regarded as slaves, causing father, son and brothers to flee and grieve; those who are in the mountains are exposed to the heat and rain, and are injured by snakes and tigers. They are lonely, hungry and thirsty, and have nothing to complain about. At first he refused to follow Yang Sheng because he was not his master, but now Situ does not join him Save the shirt, he misses Yang's family even more." Zong Kan felt sorry for him, and unconsciously moved his bedside to ask him repeatedly, Xiancheng said: "What's more, now six or seven hundred people come out of the villages every day to search for captives in the mountains. , Returning at dusk, there was no intention of defense, there was no one in the city to hear, in case there is a wise man to make a plan for it, take advantage of the emptiness and rush forward, lay down thousands of elite soldiers inside the gate, climb the city to see the captives a little far away, and send out bows and crossbowmen 100 gunners and 100 gunners each, attacking one side of the stronghold, followed by 500 soldiers, filling the trenches with salaries and soil as a road, and then sent out elite soldiers to fight hard, and burned their strongholds; Yu, I have no time to save each other, and the city will be able to benefit from the army, so that it will be undefeated!" Zong Kan said: "This is true, what will happen?" The first request is listed in the form of Bai Wangjian, and Zong Kan is ordered to be the first to be drafted. The big finger said: "The matter of today's Bai must be shared by all directions. Zong Kan's division ends in the north, or what Bai can follow. Beg Do it with teeth." There are seven things: "First, beg and recruit the people in the mountains. Second, beg and ban the soldiers and children of the villages. No one will go out to hunt captives. They will still listen to woodcutters and herds within seven miles of the villages. Those who go beyond the surface will be beheaded. Thirdly, begging to set up a Zhao’an village, with thousands of people in it, to recruit people in the place, Zong Kan asked the generals and schools to be the recruiters, so that 30 generals will patrol the army day and night. Fourth, the matter of recruiting safety must be appointed by one person in charge. Now that the posters are posted, all the villages will send soldiers into the mountains to recruit safety. I would like to submit a note to Fu Zongkan to take charge of the matter. Fifth, beg Yan Le to command the four villages, and learn that the men, women, old and children captured in Pengzhou the day before yesterday gathered in the camp. The number of them will be sent to Zhao'an village, and those who dare to hide one person will be executed; the camps in Qile's mansion are still ordered to be strictly ordered, and those who send back from the army first will be given a measure of rations, and all will be sent back to Zhao'an village. Sixth, beg to set up Jiulongxing County in Zhao'an Village. In the past, Wang Pi, the magistrate of Nanzheng, set up a Cao bureau to take care of the people, choose the strong ones of his children, and send them to the mountains to recruit their relatives; Situ strictly forbids invasion and plunder. Those who were captured by the soldiers the day before yesterday will be safe and blocked. They will cheer and cheer, and the commander will go down the mountain like a son returning to his mother. Seventh, the land in Pengzhou is suitable for hemp. It is appropriate to order the county magistrate to announce that everyone should return to the field, and go out to retting hemp, thinking that they will gradually resume their business." The construction was overjoyed, and it was carried out immediately, and everything was as promised. Tomorrow, the post will arrive, and the order will be so powerful that no one dares to violate it.On the third day, the people in the mountains competed to go to Zhao'an village as if they were returning to the market.The people saw that there was no danger of copying violence in the village, so they resigned from the county magistrate for a while and resumed their old jobs.For more than a month, Zhao'an Village was empty. Jisi, Li Maozhen conquered Fengzhou, and the gratitude made Man Cun rush to Xingyuan.Maozhen also took Xingzhou and Yangzhou, both of which were represented by his children. In August, Yang Xingmi was appointed as Huainan Jiedu envoy and Tongping Zhangshi, Tian Kai was appointed as Xuanzhou's posthumous stay, and An Renyi was appointed as Runzhou's governor. Sun Ru surrendered many Cai people, and secretly selected 5,000 people, especially those who were brave and healthy. Of. Because of the shortage of money, he wanted to use tea and salt to change people's clothes. Shucheng Gaoxu, the secretary in charge, said: "Besides the war, the ten rooms are empty, and the profit is used to trap them. They will rebel. If you don't know what I have, I will change it." What the neighbors don’t have is enough for the army; if you recruit the virtuous and obey the orders to persuade you to teach farming and mulberry, within a few years, the storehouse will be solid.” Follow it in secret.Tian Kai heard it and said: "The words of a sage have far-reaching benefits!" No doubts.If you try to come out early, the follower will cut off the horse's autumn, take its gold, practice secret knowledge without asking, and one day, come back early as before, and people will obey its measure.Huainan was under the army for six years, and the soldiers and civilians had to migrate almost completely. When the secret service first arrived, it was given to the generals and officials. The silk was no more than a few feet, and the money was no more than a few hundred.To appease and disperse, light corvee and thin collection, within a few years, the public and private are rich and prosperous, almost returning to the old days of peace. Li Ke used the northern patrol to Tianning Army, and heard that Li Kuangwei and Helian Duo had 80,000 troops to invade Yunzhou, and sent his general Li Junqing to Jinyang.Ke Yong sneaked into the new city, ambushed his troops in Shendui, and captured three hundred Tuyuhun Luqi; Kuang Wei and others were shocked.In Bingshen, Jun Qing arrived with a large army, and Ke Yong moved to Yunzhou.Ding You, attacked Converse and others, and broke it.In Jihai, Tianwei and others burned their camp and fled; after chasing Tiancheng's army, they won an invincible plan. Xin Chou and Li Maozhen attacked Xingyuan, and Yang Fugong, Yang Shouliang, Yang Shouxin, Yang Shouzhen, Yang Shouzhong and Mancun went to Langzhou.Mao Zhenbiao's son Ji Miquan knew the affairs of Xingyuan Mansion. In September, Jiajingnan Jiedu envoy Cheng Rui Tongping Zhangshi. At that time, Pu forced the supervising army to play and said that the soldiers would stay with them. In winter and October, Pu was again used as a servant and probation festival.Zhu Quanzhong asked to pursue Pu's new order; the imperial edict explained it. At the beginning, Li Cunxiao, the empress of Xing, Ming, and Cizhou, and Li Cunxin were both Li Keyong's fake sons, and they were not on good terms.Cunxin is favored by restraint, and Cunxiao is in Xingzhou. If you want to make great contributions to win it, it is recommended to take Zhenji;And Wang Rong besieged Yaoshan, saving it with filial piety, but it was impossible.Ke used Cunxin as the commanding envoy of Fan and Ma Budu, and fought with Cunxiao together. The two were suspicious of each other and could not stay; Ke used to send Li Sixun and others to defeat them.The letter was returned, but Qiao Cunxiao had no intention of attacking the thief, and suspected that he had a private contract with him.Cultivating filial piety and hearing about it, thinking that it is meritorious to use it, but trusting is not as good as trustworthiness, resentment, and fear of disaster, it is hidden in Wang Rong and Zhu Quanzhong. All Taoist soldiers challenged Li Keyong; the edict used Cunxiao as the envoy of Xing, Ming, and Cijie, and no soldiers were allowed. In November, Shi Pu Haozhou governor Zhang Wei, Sizhou governor Zhang Jian attached the state to Zhu Quanzhong. In Yiwei, Zhu Quanzhong sent his son Youyu to attack Puzhou with 100,000 soldiers, pulled him out, and held his assassin Shao Lun, so he ordered Youyu to move troops to attack Shipu. Sun Ru trapped Wangtan in Wuzhou, and Jiang Huan, the governor, went to Zhaozhou. Cai Chou, the governor of Luzhou, sent Yang Xingmi to the grandfather's tomb, joined forces with Ni Zhang, the governor of Shuzhou, and sent envoys to Zhu Quanzhong for help.Quan Zhong hates his repetition, accepts his seal, does not save him, and reports to him in secret; thank him in secret.Li Shenfu, the commander of the battalion, was dispatched secretly to discuss his spouse. "Xuanming Calendar" was released, and the new calendar was created by Prince Shaozhan and Bian Gang, and it was completed in December.The order is called "Jingfu Chongxuan Calendar". At Renwu, Wang Jian sent Hua Hong to attack Yang Shouliang in Langzhou and break him.Jian sent Jiedu Yayanling Zheng Xu envoy to Zhu Quanzhong; Quan Zhong asked Jiange, Xu said it was dangerous.Quan Zhong didn't believe it, Xu said: "If you don't listen to it, you may miss the military plane." Quan Zhong laughed. It was the year when Zhong Wenji, the governor of Mingzhou, died, and his general Huang Sheng called himself the governor. In the spring, the first month, Shi Pu sent troops to attack Suzhou, and Guo Yan, the governor, died in battle. After staying in Dongchuan, Gu Yanhui had a rift with Wang Jian, and Li Maozhen wanted to appease him as an envoy, and Qin Fuxing gave Yanhui Festival; Yanhui was ordered to be Dongchuan's Jiedu envoy, and Maozhen sent Li Jimi, who knew Xingyuan's mansion, to follow him. Not long after the rescue of Zizhou, Jian sent soldiers who defeated Dongchuan and Fengxiang to Lizhou. Yanhui asked for peace, please cut off with Maozhen.Xu Zhi. Li Maozhen, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, invited Zhen Xingyuan himself, and ordered Maozhen to be the envoy of Shannan West Road and Wuding Jiedu. Langerzhou was under the Wuding Army.Maozhen wanted to have Fengxiang at the same time, but she refused to obey the imperial edict. In February, Jiaxu, Jiaxichuan Jiedu envoy Wang Jian made peace with Zhang Shi. Li Ke used his troops to encircle Xingzhou, and Wang Rong sent his teeth to explain Wang Zanghai's letter. Ke used his anger, cut Zanghai, marched to attack Rong, and defeated the town soldiers in Pingshan, Xinsi, and attacked Tianchang Town for ten days.Rong sent 30,000 troops to rescue them, but Keng fought against them at the foot of Chiri Ridge, smashed them, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and the rest of them were defeated.The Hedong army had no food.Preserve the corpse and eat it. Shi Pu asked Zhu Jin for help, and Zhu Quanzhong sent his general Huo Cun with three thousand cavalry troops to Caozhou to prepare for him.Jin rescued Xuzhou with 20,000 soldiers, saved and led his troops to it, and joined forces with Zhu Youyu to attack Xu and Yan soldiers at the foot of Shifo Mountain, defeated them, and returned to Yanzhou.At Xinmao, Xu Bing came back and died in battle. Li Keyong went down to Jingxing, Li Cunxiao rescued Wang Rong with his soldiers, and then entered Zhenzhou to discuss things with Rong. Rong also begged Zhu Quanzhong for his teacher. There are 100,000 elite soldiers, but they have not advanced." Ke Yong replied: "If the real army is stationed in Ye, the hope will come; I must really decide whether the male or female will compete, and I would like to compete at the end of Changshan." Rong, who defeated the soldiers from the east of the river in the Yuan family, returned Xingzhou with restraint.Rong rewarded Kuangverse in Gaocheng, and paid him 200,000 yuan in gold and silk. Zhu Youyu besieged Pengcheng, Shi Pu sent troops several times, but Youyu closed his walls and did not fight.Zhu Jinxiao runs away, but Youyu doesn't chase after him. Zhu Yougong, the Marquis of Duyu, uses a book to slander Youyu Yu Quanzhong.Quan Zhong was angry, and all the post books commanded Pang Shigu, who replaced the general, and followed suit.The book arrived at Youyu by mistake, and Youyu was terrified, so he fled into the mountains with two thousand horses, sneaked into Dangshan Mountain, and hid in his uncle Quan Yu's place.Quanzhong's wife, Mrs. Zhang, heard about it, so that Youyu rode alone to Bianzhou to see Quanzhong, and wept and bowed down in the court; , Confining one's body to blame, there is no difference in ambition." Quan Zhong realized it and let it go, so that Quan could know Xuzhou.You Gong, Li Yanwei from Shouchun, was a child of Quan Zhong's family when he was young, and Quan Zhong raised him as his son.Mrs. Zhang, a native of Dangshan, is very wise and resourceful, and she is loyal and respectful. Although it is a matter of the military government, she will always consult with him; Pang Shigu attacked the Foshan stronghold and pulled it away, so Xu Bing dared not go out. Li Kuangwei's rescue of Wang Rong is also going to Youzhou, and his family will say goodbye. His younger brother Kuangchou's wife is beautiful, and Kuangwei is drunk and promiscuous.In February, Kuangwei returned from Zhenzhou to Boye, where Kuangzuo claimed to stay in the army according to the military government, and chased the battalion soldiers with talismans.The Kuangwei people were defeated and returned, but they stayed in Shenzhou with their relatives, and they had no choice but to advance or retreat. They sent the judge Li Baozhen to play, please return to the capital.The capital repeatedly became more chaotic. When they heard that Kuangwei was coming, the towns and cities were terrified, saying: "The golden head king has come to map the country." The scholars and people may hide in the valley.Wang Rongde, who lost his land due to his own death, welcomes back to Zhenzhou to build a house, which is his father's business. Take Liu Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, as the governor of Luzhou. Since the Liu family has been in Huachuo, filial piety, brotherhood and etiquette have been the lineage of scholar-bureaucrats.Yu Shi, the doctor, wants to think of him as a prime minister.The eunuch hated him, so he was exiled outside for a long time.Xuan warned his disciples, saying: "Everyone's family is high, so you can't be afraid of it. If you stand up for yourself, if you make a mistake in one thing, you offend others more than others. If you die, you can't see your predecessors in the ground. That's why you can't be afraid. The door is high. Then arrogance is easy to grow, and family prosperity is envied by others; if you practice real talents, people don't believe in them, and if you are small, everyone will point out them. This is why you can't rely on them. Therefore, to anoint Liang's children, you should work harder in learning and practice. It should be rewarded, only to be better than others!" Wang Jian repeatedly asked to kill Chen Jingxuan and Tian Lingzi, but the court refused.In summer, April, and Yihai, Jian envoys sued Jingxuan for a conspiracy and killed Xinjin.He also told Lingzi to pass Fengxiang's book, and he was sent to prison to die.Feng Juan, the magistrate of Jianshi Jiedu, said: "Kong Xuanfu does not blame others when he opens the box to bring out the tiger; Sun Shuao is not self-interested when he kills the snake on the road. Special killing can't be done outside the box, and the first opportunity may be lost in the net." "Juan, the grandson of Su. The Bian army attacked Xuzhou, but failed for many months.Zhang Tao, the general officer, wrote Zhu Quanzhong Yun in a letter: "The time for marching is not good, so it is useless." Let the generals hear this, and they will be slack in attacking." Quan Zhong burned his book.Gui Wei, Quan Zhong will be like Xuzhou; Wu Zi, Pang Shigu dialed Pengcheng, and Shi Pu climbed the Yanzi Tower and burned himself to death.Ji Chou, Quan Zhong entered Pengcheng, and after being influenced by Zhang Tingfan Zhi, the governor of Songzhou, he begged the imperial court to remove civil servants as Jiedu envoy. In Zhenzhou, Li Kuangwei completed the moat for Wang Rong, repaired his armor, trained soldiers, and treated him like a son.Li Baozhen returned from the capital to draw up strategies for him, and to please his soldiers with kindness.The Wang family has been in the town for a long time, and the people of the town love him, and they don't favor Converse.On the anniversary of Conway's death, Rong will be the first to die.Kuangwei always served Zhongjia, and ambush soldiers to rob him. Rong embraced Kuangwei and said: "Rong was trapped by the Jin people and almost died. Lai Gong wants to have today; if the public wants to win the four states, this Gu Rong's wish is not as good as going with the public. Returning to the mansion, if you give up the position to the public, you will reject the land." Kuangwei disagreed, and he rode a horse with Rong. When Chen Bing entered the mansion, there would be strong winds and thunderstorms, and the roof tiles would shake.Kuangwei entered the east side gate, and the town's relatives closed it. Mo Junhe, the butcher, jumped out of the missing wall, punched Kuangwei's soldiers, carried Rong on the horse, and carried him to the house.The people of the town had acquired Rong, so they attacked Kuangverse, killed him, and merged with his party.Rong was seventeen years old at the time, and he was thin and thin. He was coerced by the king, and he suffered from neck pain and head deviation for many days.Li Kuangchou played Rong to kill his brother, please send troops to avenge his wrongdoing; the imperial edict forbids it. Liu Rengong, the general of Youzhou, garrisoned Weizhou. He was not replaced after the expiration date, and the soldiers wanted to return.After meeting Li Kuang, he was appointed as the commander of the garrison soldiers, and he also attacked Youzhou until he reached Juyongguan, where he was defeated by the government soldiers.Rengong rushed to the east of the river, and Li Keyong treated him generously. Li Shenfu besieged Luzhou; in the Jiawu period, Yang Xingmi would go to Luzhou himself, and Tian Kai would lead troops from Xuanzhou to meet him.At the beginning, Zhang Hao, a native of Cai, served Qin Zongquan bravely. Later, he followed Sun Confucianism. When Confucianism was defeated, he returned to Xingmi, Xingmi treated him favorably, and sent troops to Luzhou.Cai Chou rebelled, and Hao was more useful.When the siege was urgent, Hao came from across the city to descend, and Yuan Zhen was envoyed by the silver guns in the secret service.Zhen Yihao repeated, Bai Xingmi, please kill him, fearing that Zhen can't tolerate him, put him in the army.Zhen, a native of Chenzhou. Wang Yanfu and Wang Shenzhi attacked Fuzhou and did not stop for a long time.Fan Hui asked for help from Weisheng Jiedu envoy Dong Chang, who married Chen Yan, and sent five thousand soldiers from Wen, Tai and Wuzhou to rescue him.Yanfu and Shenzhi thought that the city was strong, reinforcements were coming, and many soldiers were killed and injured. Bai Wangchao wanted to stop his troops and plan to move later, but the tide would not allow it.Ask Chao Zi to go to the camp. Chao Bao said: "When the soldiers are exhausted, add troops, and when the soldiers are exhausted, I will come by myself."In May, the food in the city was exhausted, and Hui knew that he could not keep watch. At night, he gave the supervising army with his seal, abandoned the city, and returned the reinforcements.Gengzi, Yanfu and others entered the city.Xin Chou, Hui died and arrived at the coastal capital, where he was killed by soldiers.When the tide entered Fuzhou, he claimed to be the queen, and buried Chen Yan in plain clothes, and took care of his family with his wife and son.Ting and Jian prefectures fell, and more than 20 generations of bandits in the mountains and seas all fell. In the leap month, Qian Liu, the defense envoy of Wu Sheng, was the envoy of Suzhou and Hangzhou observation.In addition, Cao Cheng, the capital of Hubi, was appointed as the envoy of the Central Guizhou Festival, Li Yu, the capital of Yaode, was the envoy of the Zhenhai Jiedu, Sun Weisheng, the capital of Xuanwei, was the envoy of the Jingnan Jiedu. In June, Chen Pei, the capital of Pengri, was appointed as the envoy. The Jiedu envoy of Lingnan Dongdao, and the same chapter.At that time, Li Maozhen was domineering, and it was difficult for him to control the military officials. He wanted to replace him with other kings, and all four of them, including the city of Zhan, were kind to them, relieved their military handles, and ordered them to go to the town. Li Kuangchou sent troops to attack Wang Rongzhi's Leshou and Wuqiang to avenge the shame of killing Kuangverse. In autumn and July, Wang Rong sent troops to rescue Xingzhou; Li Keyong was defeated by Pingshan, Renshen, and attacked Zhenzhou.Rong is afraid, please assist Xingzhou with 200,000 soldiers and rations, and use Xu Zhi.Ke Yong ruled the army in Luancheng, combined 30,000 soldiers into Renxian County, and Li Cunxin garrisoned Liulibei. Ding Hai, Yang Xingmi conquered Luzhou, and beheaded Cai Chou.Please post the tomb of my parents' parents from left and right, and say in secret: "I offend you with this, how can I follow suit!" Adding Tianxiong Jiedu envoy Li Maozhuang to make peace with Zhang Shi. Qian Liu sent 200,000 civilians and soldiers from the thirteen capitals to build Luocheng, Hangzhou, with a week of seventy miles. Shengzhou Inspector Zhang Xiong died, and Feng Hongduo replaced him as Inspector. Li Maozhen relied on her merits and arrogance, and the above table and legacy Du Rangneng wrote, and her words were not inferior.When she was angry and wanted to punish him, Maozhen went to the table again and said briefly: "Your Majesty is so precious that you can't shelter Uncle Yuan; you are extremely respectful of Kyushu, and you can't kill and respect him." He also said: "The current court can only watch Strength and weakness do not count right and wrong." He also said: "According to the decline, practice the law, and add grace as it grows; the value of things depends on people's balance."

Those who are afraid of the book are only the king's ears, and the generals are not the enemy of the book. If the king returns, the moat is very close. It's sharp and evil!"
