At that time, Liang sent Ge to capture Xing and Ming from Zhou, and the king of Jin marched to Qingshan Pass. Zhou didn’t know where he was going, so he thought of Yueyan and went to Qingshan to return to Jin. The king of Jin regarded Zhou as the Yellow Head of Ten Thousand Victories Military envoy. Later, he often achieved meritorious service in conquests. After fighting in Baixiang, he ascended first and moved to Kuangba to command the envoy and guard Yangliu. The generals of Zhou Dynasty were very brave. They were good at using troops and guarding, and they could share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Liang soldiers attacked Zhou, but Zhou held on. After a long time, Zhou heard that his mother had died and returned home. Zhuangzong sent General Tuo to defend Zhou on his behalf, but was almost defeated by Liang soldiers. Zhuangzong quickly pursued Zhou and defended it, but he could not defeat it. Later, the Liang people had defeated Desheng, and because they attacked Yang and Liu from the east, they used huge ships to cut off the river and cut off the Jin's aid. Zhou sent people to rush to Zhuangzong for help, and asked him to travel a hundred miles a day to go to the emergency. Zhuangzong smiled and said, "I will guard Zhou, so why worry!" He traveled sixty miles a day, traveling and hunting, and said, "Zhou is not a Liang general who can defeat me." Ye. "Bi Zhi, Zhou has been without food for three days. Zhuangzong used a huge raft to store fuel and oil, and set fire to Liang's ships downstream, and Liang's troops were relieved. Zhuangzong saw Zhou Lao and said, "Wei Gong, all the generals are going to capture Liang!" Li Xiang and Cai were the governors of the two states. During the reign of Emperor Mingzong, he worshiped Wu Xinjun as the military governor and moved to Zhenzhen. He visited the four towns of Wuning, Anyuan, Yongxing and Xuanwu, and achieved good governance. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty, it was difficult to recover and return. The emperor was lucky enough to be sent to Chanyuan, and he stayed in Tokyo during the Zhou Dynasty. When he returned, he paid homage to Kaifeng Yin.

In the middle of Tiancheng, he moved to introduce envoys and moved to General Zuo Xiaowei. When the emperor was deposed, the army in Weizhou was in chaos, and his commander Liu Yanhao was driven away. He sent Fan Yanguang to attack him and made him the transfer envoy to the capital of Hebei. Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty was established, and he was appointed as the envoy of Xuanhui Nanyuan.

The deputy commander Zhang Congbin rebelled in Heyang, and he divided his troops to defeat Congbin. Return, and attack Ye with Guangyuan, and cannot attack for more than a year. Later, Yanguang wanted to surrender but hesitated, and gave way to the city. For example, it was a misfortune or a blessing, so Yanguang went out and surrendered.
In the Tang system, the privy councilors were often served by eunuchs. From Liang Dynasty, Jingxiang and Li Zhen were used, and then to Zhuangzong, military ministers were used, and the most powerful generals were ministers. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, prime ministers Sang Weihan and Li Song were also privy councilors. , Those who give way to all the officials feel dissatisfied. When Guangyuan attacked Yanguang, he had a large number of Jin troops under his control. He acted arrogantly and wantonly, and Gaozu suppressed his requests. Chu Rang said to Guang Yuan: "This is not the intention of the emperor. Wei Han, Song and others are jealous of the public!" Guang Yuan was furious. When the troops were over, Guang Yuan saw Gaozu and complained that Weihan and others were against him. Gaozu had no choice but to dismiss Weihan and others and make him a privy envoy. When you are in office, most of the statements you make are not up to the mark. Because Ding's mother was worried, Emperor Gaozu no longer paid homage to the privy envoy and abolished his post because he printed the Zhongshu. Churang lived in mourning for several years, and then he was reinstated as the military governor of Zhangde Army and the general of Youjinwu Guard. He died of illness at the age of sixty-three and was given as a gift to the Grand Master.

Those who knew his Confucianism thought that Lulong's army was marching to Sima. During the reign of Emperor Mingzong, Lu Wenjin returned from Pingzhou. The Khitan, because they wanted Wenjin to be the governor of Pingzhou, sent his generals to imprison him with three hundred horses. When he was more than a year old, the generals of the captives liked him as a person, and the guards were a little lazy. He hoped that Chong would return south because of his plan with his subordinates.
His subordinates all said that they should not all perish if they fight against us. They were afraid that they would not be able to escape, so they advised Xichong to go alone. Xichong said: "Three hundred horsemen guarding me will be captured. If they cook their generals, their troops will disperse. And if Pingzhou goes to capture more than a thousand miles, and they hear the chaos and call for troops, then I and you will be in the Han Dynasty." The boundary is over!" Everyone said Shan. First, make a well and place it with lime. Tomorrow, the captives will pay a visit to Xichong. Xichong drinks wine. In the killing trap, the soldiers all collapse. Xichong leads his men and returns south with a population of 20,000. Emperor Jiazhi of the Ming Dynasty paid homage to the defense envoy of Ruzhou. Moved to Lingwu Jiedushi. The land of Lingzhou was connected to the Rong and Di, and the soldiers were paid and paid. They were often plundered, and Xichong opened fields and the priests cultivated them. The army had enough food, and the province gave it to them. Emperor Mingzong issued an edict to praise it. Xichong raised the soldiers, recruited and collected the barbarians, and sent envoys from Uighur, Gua, and Sha to pay tribute.

Jin alone banned the tribe and did not do anything, enriched his supplies, and made him in charge of family affairs. Moved to Longzhou as defense envoy. The deposed emperor raised his troops in Fengxiang and campaigned against his neighbors, but no one responded. Dujin's chief sent judge Xue Wen to meet the deposed emperor and discuss matters.

He thought that Huang Jia Twenty in front of the tent commanded the infantry to inspect the three cities of Yuhou and Weibo. At that time, Zhuangzong was in Wei, and Queen Liu was in charge. The Liu family often allowed her subordinates to disturb others and break the law. If no one dared to speak out, Ting Yun would often collect and kill them. When Li Jitao rebelled in Luzhou, Zhuangzong sent Mingzong as the recruiting envoy, Yuan Xingqin as the capital deployment envoy, Ting Yun as the horse and infantry capital commander, and the general as the vanguard. When Tingyun arrived at Lu, it was already dusk. He led more than a hundred troops to cross Hao and ascend the city. The city defenders could not resist, so they defeated Luzhou. On the first day of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Mingzong and his wife Xingqin arrived, and Emperor Mingzong was very upset. Tingyun moved to Yulindu for his meritorious service, as the commander of the three prefectures of Shen Huaiyi, the training envoy of the defense regiment of the four prefectures of Jin, Ying, Longjiang, and the general of Zuojian Gate Guard. If you are lucky, you will die due to illness.
Ting Yun, a martial artist, knew nothing more than numbers, but he valued scholars all his life. When Emperor Mingzong conquered Yunzhou in Liang Dynasty, he was judged by Zhao Feng. Tingyun said: "I regard your appearance as a Confucian, but you have nothing to hide." Feng was right, and Tingyun urgently recommended him to Mingzong. After Fenggui became the prime minister, he recommended Ting Yun to An Zhongjie several times. Chongjia repeatedly said that Mingzong used Ting Yun to break the gap between Lu and eventually hated him, so he never upheld the moral integrity. Ting Yun was a simple and honest man who lived in seven states. On the day of his death, his family had no money left.
Ma Quanjie
Ma Quanjie, courtesy name Daya, was born in Yuancheng. In Tongguangzhong of Tang Dynasty, the whole festival was the commander of catching life. Zhao Zaili rebelled against Yedu and appointed Quanjie as the commander of the horse infantry. When Emperor Mingzong ascended the throne, he became the governor of the four prefectures of Shan Yingyi and the defense envoy of Jinzhou. When the emperor was deposed, the Shu people attacked Jinzhou, and the state's soldiers numbered hundreds. Quanjie dispersed his family wealth and held firm with the soldiers. When the Shu people left, the deposed emperor summoned the whole group, thinking that Cangzhou would stay behind. When Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty came to power, he paid homage to Quanjie Henghai Haijiedushi and moved to Anyuan to replace Li Jinquan. Jin Quan rebelled and attached himself to Li Min. Emperor Gaozu sent 30,000 troops to send Quanjie to fight with An Shenhui, and Jin Quan fled south. General Li Chengyu guarded Anzhou, and Quanjie fought with Chengyu in the south of the state. He defeated Chengyu, beheaded 3,000 people, and captured more than 1,000 people alive. Chengyu abandoned the city, and Shenhui pursued him to Yunmeng. He captured Chengyu and his 2,000 soldiers, killed 1,500 of them, and presented the remaining soldiers to the capital along with Chengyu. Chengyu said to Quanjie: "I looted the city and gained millions, and all the generals took it. When I see the emperor, I will complain about this and then punish him." Quanjie was afraid. Because he killed Chengyu, Gaozu ignored him. Moved to Zhaoyi, Quanjie Town. He also moved to Anguo. He pursued An Chongrong from Du Chongwei and moved to Zhenyiwu with his merits. Ever since Emperor Chu and the Khitan were at odds with each other, the whole festival was not without its troops. In the first year of Kaiyun, when Yuhou was the camp capital, the Khitan and Jin armies were separated by Chan and Wei. They all attacked Baituan City, destroyed it, and captured 700 people. In Ketai Prefecture, 2,000 people were captured, and their guard general Jin Tingqian was surrendered. In April, the Khitan was defeated at Qicheng and led its troops to the north. It was defeated by Dingfeng in the whole period and took its general Anhui.
In July, he moved to Guangjin Yin and stayed in Yedu. In October, Du Chongwei was the envoy to recruit, and with Quanjie as his deputy, he defeated the Khitan in Wei Village.

Huangfu Yu
Huangfu Yu is the real person in Changshan. He is brave and has a curly beard and is good at shooting. He served during Tang Mingzong's expedition and served as an envoy to the Wu Sheng Army in the Tang Dynasty. He became harsh and violent, and his main task was to punish and expropriate. Bin Zuoduo dismissed his official position and fled to avoid the disaster. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty, he went through the four towns of Yiwu, Zhaoyi, Jianxiong and Heyang, and then became the commander of the Shenwu army. The Khitan invaded and fell into Beizhou. The emperor sent Gao Xingzhou to deploy the camp capital to the north, and met the envoy of the cavalry army on the right side. At that time, Yang Guangyuan of Qingzhou occupied the city and rebelled. When the emperor came out, he sent Li Shouzhen and Yu to divide his troops to guard Yunzhou. When they arrived at Majiadu, the Khitan generals crossed the river to help Guangyuan. They defeated them and paid homage to the Yicheng Army's Jiedu Envoy and the Ma Jundu Commander-in-Chief.
In the second year of Kaiyun, the Khitan invaded Xishan and sent the vanguard Zhao Yanshou to surround Zhenzhou, but Du Chongwei did not dare to fight. Yanshou divided his troops and carried out a large-scale plunder, conquering nine counties including Luancheng and Baixiang, and reached Xingzhou in the south. At that time, at the end of the year, the emperor and his ministers drank too much and became ill, so they could not go on the expedition. So they sent Zhang Cong'en, the governor of the camp in the north, to meet with Ma Quanjie, An Shenqi and Yu to guard him. From En and others to Xiangzhou, they formed an array in Anyang and Henan. They sent Yu and Murong Yanchao to lead thousands of cavalry to watch the captives. When they crossed the Zhang River, they encountered tens of thousands of captives. They fought for more than ten miles to Yulin, where they were surrounded by captives. When a horse was hit by an arrow, it stalled. He got his servant Du Zhimin's horse and rode it to fight. Zhi Min was captured by the prisoners. When he met Yan Chao, he said: "Zhi Min is a righteous man, how can we lose it!" Then he and Yan Chao jumped into the prison, took it and returned it. From noon to the end of the day, the captured soldiers and the soldiers were reunited, and the troops were born, and the momentum was very strong. Yu Jie Yanchao said: "Today's situation is to fight or to retreat. If you fight, you may live, if you retreat, you will die. Waiting to die, fighting to the death is still enough to serve the country." Zhang Congen and other generals encountered strange encounters and regarded the prisoners as uncompensated. They all called Yu Yu Already trapped. An Shenqi had already reported that he was surrounded, and An Shenqi led his troops to go there. He suspected that the rewarder was deceitful and did not want to go. Shenqi said: "Success or failure, we must fight with the public. Even if we can't capture him, we will go there." When we come south, we will not meet the emperor, and we will never see the emperor again!" Then he led his cavalry across the river, and all the troops came from the north, resisting the captives for more than ten miles. When the captives saw the reinforcements coming, they dispersed. Yu and Shenqi and others gathered their troops and headed south, while the Khitans also headed north. At that time, the Khitan soldiers had penetrated deeply and were short of men and horses. When they returned, the generals could not pursue them, so Cong En led Yu and others to retreat to Liyang, and the captives were relieved.
In the winter of the third year, Du Chongwei was appointed as the capital recruiting envoy. He was appointed as the commander of the capital on the right side of the Ma Army and stationed at Zhongdu. Zhongwei had secretly sent money to Khitan. In the ambush, he summoned all the generals to sit down and told him to surrender. When he met the generals, they were stunned and unable to respond. He showed great power and surrendered, and when he encountered others, he bowed his head and painted his name, that is, the troops under his command were disarmed and surrendered. Khitan sent Yu and Zhang Yanze to the capital first. Yu went to Pingji and died without saying a word.
Woohoo, if Liang dies and Jingxiang dies, it’s not a festival of death; if Jin dies and Huangfu dies, it’s not a festival of death. Isn’t it unintentional? When Liang usurped the Tang Dynasty, he used Xiang’s schemes most. Is it okay for a son to support his father and kill his ancestors? If he is not killed by an axe, he will be spared. When the troops of Fang Jin were about to surrender, the soldiers didn't know it at first, but when they disarmed their armor, their cries shook the sky, and they surrendered immediately. How could they have wanted to surrender? When encountering the soldiers, they jumped up with arms and killed the powerful people in their seats. Although they were unfortunate, they would inevitably see harm. In order to obtain his death, his righteousness and righteousness are not awe-inspiring! Since he bowed his head and obeyed his orders, he served the country of the deceased. Even though death cannot be redeemed, how valuable is it! When a gentleman treats others, he may forgive or blame him. Prepare. Forgiveness, so there is a broad way to move forward and make a new start; preparation is hard to come by, hard to find, so it is valuable. However, it is difficult to know what is forgivable and what is valuable!

Emperor Mingzong controlled Tianping, Xuanwu, and Chengde, using Yanwei as his general and sincerity to gain trust. When Emperor Mingzong was established, the prince Congrong was in Ye, and Yanwei was appointed as the guardian of the saints. With Congrong as the judge of the six armies, Yanwei moved to the commanding envoy of Peng Sheng and led the military envoy of Ning State. When Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty came to power, he paid homage to Yanwei and stayed in Beijing, then moved to the town and returned to Germany. At that time, the river broke through Huazhou, and Yanwei was ordered to block it. Yanwei spent private money to recruit people to repair the embankment. When he moved to Xijing and stayed there, he encountered a severe famine. Yanwei helped the hungry people. If the people broke the law, they all lent him leniently. The hungry people loved him and couldn't bear to let him go. Ding's mother is worried and mourns the destruction of the system. When Emperor Chu made an alliance with the Khitan, he paid homage to Yanwei, deputy commander of the camp in the north. Yanwei used his family wealth to support the military. He died in the capital due to illness.
Yanwei and Concubine An were from the same clan, and they considered her uncle when they were involved in imperial affairs, but Yanwei never considered her uncle. After her death, the concubine was crying, and people began to know that she was from the same clan. At that time, she was called prudent.
Li Qiong
Li Qiong is from Rao'an, Cangzhou. He was a cavalry commander in his youth, and served under Emperor Mingzong of Tang Dynasty with Jin Gaozu. In the second year of Tongguang's reign, the Khitan invaded. Emperor Mingzong left Zhuozhou and met the Khitan. He was unable to win the battle. The generals led him away.

Qiong used his spear to rescue him, and he used his horse to meet Gaozu and protect him on foot. , I walked more than ten miles and was spared. When Emperor Mingzong rebelled against Wei and went south, Qiong followed Gaozu with 300 cavalry and headed towards Bianzhou. Emperor Gaozu was the governor of the Baoyi Army and the commander of the Ya army. When Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he thought he would protect the holy capital of Yuhou. He gave him a lot of gold and silk, but he did not give him any official title. After a long time, he worshiped the prime minister and became the governor of the two states. When he became emperor, he was the governor of Dizhou. Yang Guangyuan rebelled and offered Qiong a letter, but Qiong refused. He moved to Mingzhou to train the regiment, and also served as the commander of the right side of the city to protect the saints. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Khitan entered the capital and appointed Qiong as the governor of Weizhou. When he traveled to Zhengzhou, he was killed by thieves.
Liu Jingyan
Liu Jingyan is from Yanzhou. His family is wealthy and he can make friends with rich people with his money. His career was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so he was appointed Buqu, and later became the governor of Danzhou. Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty launched an army in Taiyuan, and Emperor Fei of the Tang Dynasty mobilized one soldier from seven households to serve as a volunteer soldier. Yanzhou Jiedu envoy Yang Hanzhang sent the villagers to the capital. When he was about to leave, Jingyan sent people to anger him. The rebels rebelled, killed Hanzhang, and welcomed Jingyan as his rear guard. When Emperor Gaozu of the Jin Dynasty came to the throne, he paid homage to Jingyan Jiedushi. Jing Yan was working as Xiong Qi, and he was a very wise man. He secretly noticed that Jing Yan was domineering and difficult to control, and he was afraid that he might have different intentions, so he wanted to make fools out of him. Because of his words to Jing Yan, he said that the border areas could not be settled for long, and this was a strategy for Chen to protect his fame and gain. If there are many good fields in Bin and Jing, the benefits will be a hundredfold. It is better to have more commercial fields and shoot the profits to enrich yourself. Jing Yan believed in it and gained a lot after more than a year. Jingyan sent Qi to the capital, and Qi said: "Jingyan should not be on the border, but can be moved inland." Jingyan moved to Pingzhou, and Qi came to pay homage to Buque, while Jingyan moved to Zhenbaoyi, where he lived for a short time. He also moved to Wusheng. Jingyan realized that Gao was betraying himself, so he falsely accused Gao of concealing his jade belt, and Gao was demoted to the Shangjin Order of Shangzhou. Qi was afraid that Jingyan would invite harm, so he died and hid in the mountains. In the third year of his fortune, Jingyan gave up his martial arts and became an official as the crown prince and grand master, and lived in Huazhou. The Khitan invaded the capital and used careful measures to suppress Yanzhou, so Jingyan returned to his hometown. The people of the state pursued secrets and established Gao Yunquan. Yunquan's wife was the Liu family, and she was Jingyan's granddaughter. Jingyan's fertile farmland and child servants are very prosperous, and the Dangxiangsi family is particularly wealthy and powerful in the suburbs of livestock farming. When Yun Quan's wife returned to the province when she was young, Jing Yan said, "Gaolang is a county magistrate, and there is this state, how can it be protected?" Yun Quan was evil, but he wanted to benefit his land and house, so he falsely accused him and killed him instead. More than eighty years old.
The eldest son Xing Cong was the governor of Dezhou. After he was dismissed, he stayed in the capital and was also executed. The second son, Xingqian, was a woman who had the right to do so. He told the emperor that he was not the son of the Liu family, so he was spared execution.
