Xu Dexun led the navy back to Dongting Hu and headed straight to Yuezhou. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Ma Yin that he had led the navy to Yuezhou. Ma Yin received the revenge and hurriedly took Ma Bin as the vanguard and led a 20,000 army directly to the city of Yuezhou.

Yuezhou, now Yueyang, is also known as Baling. Yuezhou is located in the northeast of Hunan, leaning against Mufu Mountain in the east, Dongting Lake in the west, and the Yangtze River in the north. Yueyang was called Baling in ancient times, also known as Yuezhou. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, it was the city of Jingzhou and the land of Sanmiao. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it belonged to Chu. In the fiftieth year of King Jing of Zhou, Ximi City was built here, which was the beginning of the city construction. Qin combined with six countries, Yuezhou belonged to Changsha County, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Changsha State. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an

Sun Quan established Hanchang County. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent Hengjiang General Lu Su to lead 10,000 people to station here to build Baqiu Dige City. In the first year of Emperor Wu of Jin, Baling County was established. In the first year of Emperor Hui, Baling County was established. In the first year of Yuankang, Emperor Hui, the county was established. The county was established in Baling City. Since then, Yuezhou has been used as a county seat. In the ninth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Yuezhou, and in the third year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, it was Luozhou. In the sixth year of Wude, it was further Yuezhou, which was in charge of the five counties of Baling, Huarong, Xiangyin, Yuanjiang and Changjiang.

At this time, the governor of Yuezhou was Deng Jinzhong. The governor was originally his brother Deng Jinsi. After Deng Jinsi's death, Deng Jinzhong succeeded the governor of Yuezhou. Deng Jinzhong and his brother Deng Jinsi were originally local tyrants in the Xiangyin area. The Deng brothers were able to become governor of Yuezhou because they killed someone, who was Huang Chao's nephew.

In 880, when Huang Chao established the Great Qi in Chang'an, he once had a great title for his confidant. His nephew Huang Hao was named General of the Cavalry, with more than 7,000 subordinates. In the Hedong Incident in the third year of the Jin Dynasty, the Qi army was attacked from both sides. Huang Chao ordered the withdrawal from Chang'an and set fire to the palace. Huang Chao led more than 300,000 troops to the Central Plains, and then captured Luoyang and rested. Huang Chao wanted to dominate the Central Plains and captured more than ten prefectures and counties in a row. Later, Huang Chao delayed the fighter's fighter to avenge the murder of his beloved general Meng Kai. After the Tang soldiers reinforced, they failed many times. When it was blocked by heavy rain, Huang Chao defeated the army. Shangrang and other important generals all rebelled. Huang Chao led more than a thousand people to flee to the Langhu Valley of Mount Tai. He was surrounded by the Tang soldiers for several days and was killed in an arrow.

At this time, Huang Hao had already captured Bozhou. When he learned that Huang Chao had died, he had to lead 7,000 cavalry to rely on Qin Zongquan. 8 Soon after, Min Xu, who seized Tanzhou, asked Qin Zongquan for help because he was attacked by Zhou Yue. Qin Zongquan sent Huang Hao south to rescue him.

After Huang Hao arrived, he went to the city to kill the Jiedushi Min Xu and occupied Tanzhou. However, they were soon attacked by Zhou Yue, suffered heavy losses and were expelled. Later, Huang Hao led the remnant army to fight in Jiangxi and Hunan. Huang Hao named the army "Ranging Army", which is also called the name and real talisman, because they have been wandering around.

From the fourth year of Zhonghe (884) Huang Chao was defeated and died, seventeen years have passed by the first year of Tianfu (901). Huang Chao had already turned into soil, and Huang Hao and his slander army were still galloping on the land of the Tang Dynasty, insisting on fighting without being eliminated. It was a miracle. It can also be said that Huang Hao's slander army was the last Huang Chao army. Lu Jingren, who was also the remaining Huang Chao troops, was wiped out by Li Qiong sent by Ma Yin not long ago.

In the first year of Tianfu (901), Huang Hao and his slander army withdrew from Tanzhou, captured Liuyang and prepared to march towards Xiangyin. Xiangyin is the hometown of Deng Jinsi's brothers. As a famous local tyrant in Xiangyin, Deng Jinsi certainly could not allow Huang Hao's slander army to enter Xiangyin. So Deng Jinsi led thousands of soldiers under his command to set up an ambush at Liuyang Mountain, where Huang Hao entered Xiangyin, intending to drive Huang Hao and slander army away.

When Huang Hao's army entered the valley, Deng Jinsi suddenly came out and cut Huang Hao's army into several sections, which was difficult to deal with. Huang Hao's army was in chaos and was quickly defeated, and Huang Hao also died in the chaos. Huang Hao was also considered a capsized ship in the gutter. He did not die at the hands of Zhu Wen, Qin Zongquan, Yang Xingmi, Ma Yin and other fierce men, but died at the hands of a small local tyrant. This is the same as Li Zicheng, the king of rebellion who was dominating the world more than 700 years later. Li Zicheng did not die at the hands of Dorgon, Wu Sangui and other ruthless people, but died at the hands of an unknown soldier in Jiugong Mountain.

After killing Huang Hao, destroying the Wandering Army, and killing the last Huang Chao army, Deng Jinsi took advantage of the situation to attack Yuezhou. Yuezhou was Du Hong's territory at this time, but because he took his main force to Ezhou, there were very few soldiers left behind in Yuezhou, and soon Deng Jinsi captured Yuezhou. Deng Jinsi therefore occupied Yuezhou and reported victory to the Tang Dynasty court. In any case, this was a small contribution. Deng Jinsi was therefore named the governor of Yuezhou by the Tang Dynasty court and assigned to Du Hong, the governor of Wuchang Army. The next year, in 902, Deng Jinsi died, and his younger brother Deng Jinzhong succeeded the position of governor of Yuezhou.

Deng Jinzhong, who became the governor of Yuezhou, was frightened to find that he was surrounded by powerful neighbors, such as Yang Xingmi, Du Hong, Cheng Feng, Lei Yanwei, Ma Yin and other comrades, who could not afford to offend any of them. In May of the third year of Tianfu (903 AD), the complex situation in this area made Deng Jinzhong feel that Du Hong seemed to have no ability to protect him, and he should find another big backer.

Chengxian's Jingnan army was defeated by Yang Xingmi's Huainan army, and was defeated and died. He was the first to withdraw from the competition in Jingchu. Although Du Hong, the governor of Wuchang Army, had Zhu Wen's support, his territory had been swallowed by Yang Xingmi, and it was only a matter of time to end. Lei Yanwei was powerful and occupied the Jiangling Prefecture area and was aggressive. Just when Deng Jinzhong was worried about how to find a backer, Xu Dexun's navy came to the city of Yuezhou at the right time.

Deng Jinzhong stood at the head of Yuezhou City and looked into the distance at Xu Dexun's warship in Dongting Lake. The majestic and powerful Wu'an navy was neatly arranged in the lake outside Yuezhou City, shouting in unison. The ship was loaded with various prisoners, people, craftsmen and property captured and plundered by the Wu'an army from Jiangling. At the same time, he received news that the Wu'an army's governor Ma Yin personally led an army of 20,000 to north from land and approaching Yuezhou.

Faced with this severe situation, Deng Jinzhong was frightened. Deng Jinzhong knew that he was not an opponent, so he opened the city gate and went out to greet him personally, and prepared cattle, sheep, wine to reward the Ma family army, hoping to send them out of the country. Xu Dexun came here not to have a meal, but to this Yuezhou city. Xu Dexun felt Deng Jinzhong's fear, took the opportunity to threaten and induce Deng Jinzhong, and analyzed the pros and cons for him, and suggested that Deng Jinzhong should submit to the Wu'an army.

Deng Jinzhong hesitated for a long time and finally chose to surrender. He had heard that Ma Yin was generous and if he gave up resistance, he would spare his life. If he refused to follow the resistance, his life would be worrying after the city was broken, and this decision was not difficult to make.

Xu Dexun easily captured Yuezhou City without any effort, and sent people to report the victory to Ma Yin, who was in charge of the journey. Ma Yin was overjoyed and immediately rushed to Yuezhou. Xu Dexun took Deng Jinzhong out of the city to welcome him. In view of Xu Dexun's contributions in the sneak attack on Jiangling and seizing Yuezhou, Ma Yin immediately appointed him as the governor of Yuezhou.

Ma Yin treated Deng Jinzhong very favorably, and not only gave him gold, silver, treasures, silk, silk, and satin, but also appointed him as the governor of Hengzhou and transferred Yao Yanzhang back to Tanzhou. At this time, Hengzhou was fully stable under the governance of Yao Yanzhang. Deng Jinzhong was in disguise and took the whole family to a new position. After more than 20 years of carefree life, Shan finally finally got his home.

Ma Yin handed over all the aftermath of Yuezhou to Xu Dexun and asked him to train the navy in Dongting Lake. Ma Yin himself sailed on the lake with his literary fragrance and enjoyed the charming scenery of Dongting Lake. It was summer, and the endless lake water and the blue sky melted into a piece of the lake. The sun shone out the rippling waves of the lake, like the handfuls of broken gold scattered by a fairy in the sky.

There is a small and elegant Junshan lying in the middle of the lake. From a distance, it looks like a small and exquisite green snail, embedded in a huge silver plate. The grass and big trees on Junshan make Junshan more beautiful. The color, whether thick or light, or dark, is like someone putting an unpredictable dress on Junshan. The surrounding green trees are lush, and many willows are like maids, standing gracefully. They gently caress the lake with their long willow branches.

Wenxiang sat at the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery, and couldn't help but chant: "The lake is light and autumn moon are harmonious, and the lake is not worn. Looking at the scenery of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate." Ma Yin praised: "Mrs. I am worthy of being a talented woman. This poem describes the beautiful scenery here appropriately." Wenxiang laughed: "My husband is wrong. This is "Wangdongting" written by Liu Yuxi. I don't have such talent." Ma Yin said: "That's much better than me, and I don't know a word."

While visiting, they chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Junshan. Ma Yin and Wenxiang climbed up Junshan and went to Xiangfei Temple to worship Xiangfei. Ma Yin didn't study much, so naturally they didn't know who Xiangfei was. But seeing Wenxiang's expression was serious, they had to follow her to burn incense and worship. Then Wenxiang donated a lot of gold and silver to the temple. After worshiping Xiangfei Temple, Wenxiang told Ma Yin about the origin of the Xiangfei Temple one by one.

The Xiang Concubine Temple, also known as the Xiangshan Temple, is located on the east side of Junshan. It is one of the earliest temples in Hunan. The temple enshrines the Xiang Concubine, namely the two concubines of Emperor Shun, Ehuang and Nuying. They are the two daughters of Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao thought Shun was very talented and wanted to pass the throne to Shun. In order to conduct a three-year investigation on Shun, he married his two daughters to Shun. With the help of Ehuang and Nuying, Shun successfully passed the inspection period and ascended the throne after Yao. Because the two daughters were the daughters of Emperor Yao, they were called "Emperor's daughter" and because they were the concubine of Emperor Shun, they were also called "Two Concubines".

Thirty-nine years after Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he began to travel south, but collapsed in Cangwu and buried in Jiuyi Mountain. When the two concubines heard the news, they chased to Junshan in Dongting Lake. When they heard that Emperor Shun had collapsed in Cangwu, they heard that Emperor Shun had cried bitterly, and shed tears on the bamboo forest. They were so sad that they died, and turned into the god of Xiangshui. The two concubines' tears were shed on the bamboo joints and turned into tears. Therefore, the bamboo was called "spotted bamboo", also called "Xiangfei Bamboo". In order to commemorate the two concubines, the people built the "Xiangfei Temple" in Junshan for future generations to pay homage to future generations. Because the temple was built for a long time, it was built by Emperor Shun's two concubines, so they were called "the first temple in the south of the Yangtze River".

Later, Qin Shihuang unified the world and visited Dongting Lake in the south. At that time, the wind was strong and the waves were surging, and the ships were walking slowly. If the wind and waves continued to increase, there might be a risk of a shipwreck. In view of this situation, Qin Shihuang ordered to avoid the wind and waves before leaving. However, the eight hundred miles of Dongting was boundless, where can we find a place to shelter? Just when civil and military officials were extremely anxious, a small hill suddenly appeared in front of him, and the mountain was Junshan. The boatman quickly turned the rudder and drove the ship to Junshan.

Soon, the boat was leaning on Junshan Island, and Qin Shihuang came down to the shore to avoid the wind and waves. At that time, the wind and waves made Qin Shihuang frightened, which made him very angry. He called the minister and asked, "Where is this?" The minister replied, "This mountain is called Junshan, where is the goddess Xiangjun located, so he caused this trouble." Qin Shihuang was furious after hearing this: "The world belongs to me, how can there be two kings in one country? Is there any reason for the king?" The officials advised him.

He went to the mountain to worship Xiangjun and asked Xiangshui Shen Ningbo Xilang.

However, Qin Shihuang refused to obey and ordered the three thousand soldiers on the boat to cut off all the woods on Junshan Island and set fire to the temples and pavilions on the island. At this point, he still couldn't relieve his hatred. He also made a jade seal with gold inlaid with nine dragons and covered it hard at the rocks, and ordered the goddess of Xiangshui no longer to be troubled. However, the storm still blew for two days and two nights before it subsided.

After hearing this, Ma Yin sighed, "I didn't expect that such an inconspicuous place would have something to do with two completely different emperors. One is a famous benevolent monarch, and the other is famous for violence. Although Qin Shihuang was strong for a while, the court he established was destroyed in less than fifteen years. As today's chaos is in chaos and the people are suffering, I don't know when the world will be peaceful. It's a pity that my abilities are limited and I cannot benefit more people."

Wenxiang said, "Your husband, don't belittle yourself. Although you don't make profits for the world like Emperor Shun, you can still benefit the people now. Just do your best to do things, and you will always be the hero in Wenxiang's heart." Ma Yin smiled and said, "You will always be the Xiang Concubine in my heart. But I am not qualified to give you a concubine and let you suffer grievances." Wenxiang smiled slightly and said, "These are things outside of your body. It's enough for you to have me in your heart." The two of them spent a long time traveling in Junshan and did not return to Yuezhou until dusk.

The next morning, Ma Yin and Wenxiang left Yuezhou with their army, and Xu Dexun sent it ten miles away. After Ma Yin returned to Tanzhou, he immediately held a banquet to invite civil and military officials in Tanzhou to celebrate the acquisition of another state. By this time, Ma Yin had already occupied the fourteen states and his strength increased greatly. However, Ma Yin was not proud. He sent spies to investigate the developments of the Tang Dynasty court and surrounding vassal states. He soon received news that Yang Xingmi was preparing to attack Ezhou again. Because he had already quelled the internal rebellion, he could now free up his hands to realize his previous plan.

The reason why Li Shenfu withdrew his troops not long ago was that Tian Fu created Yang Xingmi's rebellion. Tian Fu originally had an affair with An Renyi, Zhu Yanshou and others followed Yang Xingmi as a humble commoner. Later, he made many military achievements and became a general under Yang Xingmi. After defeating Sun Ru and pacifying the Jianghuai River, Yang Xingmi wanted to change his strategy, rest and stop his troops to calm the people. Tian Fu, the governor of Ningguo Army, was in his prime and had a strange ambition.

Feng Hongduo, the governor of Wuning, was located between Huainan and Ningguo, but he was not polite to both. Tian Feng wanted to seize them. Feng Hongduo had a powerful fleet of ships, so Tian Feng recruited craftsmen to build giant ships. The craftsmen said, "Donald Feng found solid wood in the distance, so his warships could last for a long time. There is no such wood here now." Tian Feng said, "You just need to make it well, I only need to use it once." The news came out, Feng Hongduo's general Feng Hui, Yan Jian advised Feng Hongduo to attack Tian Feng first. Feng Hongduo led his people south and claimed that he would attack Hongzhou, which was actually an attack on Xuanzhou. Tian Feng immediately went out to fight and defeated Feng Hongduo in Geshan. Feng Hongduo had no choice but to surrender to Yang Xingmi.

After Tian Feng occupied Wuning, he had a greater ambition. Once, he went to Yangzhou. Yang Xingmi's confidants repeatedly asked him for bribes, even the lowest-level prisoners. Tian Feng said angrily: "Does the prisoner want me to go to prison?" He asked Yang Xingmi to take Chi and She as the state, but did not get Yang Xingmi's consent, which was somewhat the same as Jiang Xun. Tian Feng said angrily, and when he returned, he pointed to the gate of Yangzhou City: "I will never enter this door again."

At this time, Qian Liu's brave commander Xu Wan and Xu Zaisi rebelled and sent envoys to surrender to Tian Fu. Tian Fu accepted the surrender of Xu Wan, Xu Zaisi and others, and believed that the great opportunity to annex Liangzhe had arrived, so he went out again to attack Hangzhou. He came to the city of Hangzhou. Tian Fu first politely and then sent envoys to the city and said to Qian Fu: "Please leave here and go to Yuezhou. The government offices there have been empty. You are welcome to move in at any time. Don't hold on here and let the soldiers die in vain!"

Qian Liu naturally would not admit defeat easily, so he replied sarcastically: "The illegal people in the army are causing trouble and rebellion and attacking the commander. Where is there such a thing? You are also a commander of the Fang Jie. You actually helped the rebels to rebel, so you are not afraid of shooting yourself in the foot in the future?" After arguing, Tian Feng led his army to the north gate of the old city in Hangzhou to meet with the rebels of Xu Wan and Xu Zaisi.

Seeing that Tian Feng was about to conquer Hangzhou, Yang Xingmi accepted Qian Li's request for peace. Because Qian Feng sent his sixth son Qian Chuanqi to Yangzhou with Gu Quanwu to propose marriage to Yang Xingmi. After Gu Quanwu arrived in Yangzhou, he said to Yang Xingmi: "If Tian Feng succeeds, he will be a concern for the king. If the king recalls Tian Feng, Qian Wang is willing to take his son Qian Chuanqi as a charity and marry you." Yang Xingmi immediately agreed to Qian Feng's request for peace and married his daughter to Qian Chuanqi.

Then Yang Xingmi sent an envoy to Tian Xin and ordered: "If you don't come back, I will send someone to guard Xuanzhou for you!" Tian Xin had to take Xu Wan and Xu Zaisi back to Xuanzhou, but left Qian Li's son Qian Chuanguan as a proton, and asked for 200,000 yuan to reward the army. Tian Xin was very resentful of Yang Xingmi for this, and began to rebel and recruit soldiers for major events. Huainan General Li Shenfu secretly told Yang Xingmi and said: "Tian Xin will definitely rebel, and if you don't come in, you will get rid of him first." Yang Xingmi replied: "Tian Xin has made great contributions, but the rebellion is not clear. If you kill rashly, the generals will not use it for me anymore."
