Since Zhu Wen could not really control Wu Yue, he had no obligation to help Qian Li solve the difficulties. He had to rely on himself to recognize the boss Qian Li. After two years of silence, Huainan began to fight with Wu Yue again. It was not that Yang Wo in Huainan was so warlike, but that the former generals frequently helped Yang Wo conquer the city and expand their territory.

In September of the third year of Tianyou, Qin Pei, the defeated general of Gu Quanwu in Kunshan City, led his troops to conquer Hongzhou and captured Zhong Kuang, the governor of Hongzhou, and expanded the power of Huainan to Jiangxi. With the outstanding performance of his father's military generals, Yang Wo, who was busy traveling all day long, successfully expanded his territory.

So, Yang Wo began to become arrogant and luxurious, and did not take the elders seriously at all. Zhou Yin, the judge of the Jiedu, who once suggested that Yang Xingmi establish a new heir, was the first to be killed by Yang Wo. The commander of the Heiyun Metropolitan Commander Lu Shizhou made many military achievements, but was suspicious of Yang Wo and forced to flee to Tanzhou to join Ma Yin, which made all the other military generals in danger.

Originally, Yang Wo should have been mourning for his father's death for three years, but Yang Wo was completely unpatiful to mourn. During the mourning period, he drank day and night and had fun. After drinking too much, he suddenly creatively lit candles of tens of thousands of dollars on the court to play polo. The construction cost of the light stadium is quite expensive, and each candle costs tens of thousands of yuan. When he was tired of playing ball, he took a group of followers to travel around the mountains and rivers, and disappeared.

As two personal generals who were close to Yang Wo, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, commanders of the Left and Right Orthodon Army, could not bear Yang Wo's stupid behavior, so they tried hard to advise Yang Wo, hoping that Yang Wo could change his past and concentrate on political affairs. But Yang Wo replied: "Since you think I don't have talent, why not kill me!" Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were afraid and worried that they would suffer from Yang Wo's cruel actions, so they decided to take action first and prepare to change their leaders.

At this time, Yang Wo still had thousands of personal troops stationed in Yacheng, and it was still difficult for Xu Wen and Zhang Hao to take action. Because the places where they usually play and entertain were narrow, Yang Wo was unable to use space, so Yang Wo ordered all the thousands of personal troops stationed in Yacheng to withdraw from Yacheng, station outside the city, and empty the territory.

When Yang Wo was working in Xuanzhou, he trusted Zhu Siyi, Fan Sijin, Chen Fan and other three confidants. Because he began to suspicion of Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's fangs, Yang Wo planned to summon these three people to Yangzhou and lead their own soldiers. This news was learned by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao. The two knew that if these three people arrived in Yangzhou, it meant that Yang Wo had to take action against them, so decisive measures must be taken.

Xu Wen and Zhang Hao sent Chen You to Qin Pei's camp in Hongzhou, intending to assassinate Zhu Siyi, Fan Sijin, Chen Fu and others who followed Qin Pei to fight. After Chen You talked about the intentions and conspiracy of Xu Wen, Zhang Hao and others, Qin Pei chose to be neutral. In the end, Zhu Siyi, Fan Sijin, and Chen Fu were killed by Chen You. The killing of Zhu, Fan and Chen was definitely a heavy blow to Yang Wo. He finally trained three confidants and was reimbursed overnight. Yang Wo was furious and decided to kill Xu Wen and Zhang Hao.

In the first month of the fourth year of Tianyou, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao led hundreds of soldiers into Yang Wo's mansion and came to Yang Wo with a blade in hand. Yang Wo was so scared that he thought Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were planning to kill him. But Xu Wen and Zhang Hao just killed dozens of Yang Wo's confidants and seized Yang Wo's military power. Of course, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao also looked for opportunities to deal with those who were dissatisfied with Huainan generals, so Yang Wo was completely wiped out.

The puppet of Xu Wen and Zhang Hao.

Although Yang Wo was taken away by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, Huainan was surprisingly quiet and there was no great turmoil or uneasiness. Huainan's generals such as Liu Wei, Tao Ya, and Zhou Ben chose to remain silent and did not launch a large-scale rebellion at such a critical moment. Huainan's strength was not damaged by the internal coup. On the contrary, it became stronger and stronger, further accelerated the pace of expansion, and pointed the target of the march towards Fuzhou and Xinzhou. Fuzhou and Xinzhou were not Qian Liu's territory. Huainan attacked Fu, and Xinzhou had no direct contact with Qian Liu. However, there was an old friend of Qian Liu, who advocated being the governor of Xinzhou, so Qian Liu had to lend a helping hand for both emotion and reason.

During the Qianfu period, when Huang Chao's army traversed the Central Plains, thieves also rose from the Jianghuai River to harm the village. The two heroes from Fuzhou Nancheng, Wei Quanshou and Wei Zi advocated that their brothers recruited the township and set up forts to defend themselves.

In the fourth year of Qianfu, Huang Chao's general Liu Yanzhang led his troops to attack Jiangxi. He was defeated by the Wei brothers in Xinjian, and suffered heavy losses. The Wei brothers were commended by the court for this military achievements and became subordinates of Zhong Chuan, the governor of Fuzhou of the Tang Dynasty.

In May of the second year of Zhonghe, Zhong Chuan expelled Jiangxi Observation and sent Gao Maoqing to occupy Hongzhou and ordered his subordinates to manage Fuzhou. The Wei brothers officially began their entrepreneurial journey. In the fifth year of Zhonghe, Wei Quanfa decided to leave Zhong Chuan and occupy Fuzhou and no longer be managed by Zhong Chuan. At the same time, his brother Wei Zai was sent to occupy Xinzhou. The Wei brothers became the power to dominate Fu and Xinzhou.

Because Fu and Xin Prefectures are located in the eastern mountainous area of ​​Jiangxi, with a narrow land and sparse population, and are not considered a fat-level territory. Therefore, the vassal states, including Yang Xingmi and Qian Li, did not regard Fu and Xin Prefectures as the target of attack. The Wei brothers knew that they were not the opponent of Zhong Chuan, and in order to survive, they actively looked for a reliable big tree. In the end, Qian Li was selected as a new big tree of dependence by the Wei brothers.

Although the Wei brothers ruled Fu and Xin in a low-key manner, they still attracted the attention of Zhong Chuan. Under Zhong Chuan's strong pressure, Wei Quanfan was forced to apologize to Zhong Chuan, and became a relative of his children and was re-established into Zhong Chuan's sphere of influence. After Zhong Chuan died of illness, his son Zhong Kuangshi succeeded as the governor of Hongzhou, but was defeated by Yang Wo, Huainan, and eventually defeated him.

Zhong Kuangshi died and Hongzhou became the territory of Huainan. All this aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhong Kuangshi's father-in-law Wei Quanfeng. Shortly after occupying Hongzhou in Huainan, Wei Quanfeng planned to seize the territory of Yuan Zhong Chuan.

In December of the first year of Kaiping in the Later Liang Dynasty, Huainan launched an attack on the Wei brothers, and Huainan pointed his preferred offensive target at Xinzhou Weizaichang. Although he was dependent on Qian Li at the same time, in terms of the intimacy with Qian Li, Weizaichang was better than his brother Wei Quan's satirization.

On the one hand, Xinzhou is bordered by Qianli, Zhejiang and Muzhou, and Weizaizhang has many opportunities to communicate with Qianli. On the other hand, Weizaizhang prefers Qianli's character. He also recognizes Qianli's principle of protecting the country and safeguarding the people in troubled times, so he and Qianli are closer in all aspects.

During the rebellion of Chen Zhang in Quzhou and Chen Xun in Muzhou, Wei Zai Chang firmly supported Qian Liu, and was ready to send troops to help Qian Liu at any time. For Wei Zai Chang, a very rare friend, Qian Liu naturally had to show his hand in danger and provide assistance.

In the first month of the second year of Kaiping, Qian Liu sent troops to attack Ganlu Town at the junction of Xinzhou and Quzhou to rescue the danger of being besieged by Huainan.

Zai Chang. The crisis in Xinzhou Weizai Chang quickly disappeared because something happened in Huainan. Since Yang Wo was seized by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, he was extremely depressed and naturally complained and scolded Xu Wen and others.

In May of the second year of Kaiping, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao decided to kill Yang Wo and then surrender to Zhu Wen of the Liang Dynasty. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao sent their confidant Ji Xiang to lead a group of killers to enter Yang Wo's room at night and carry out assassination. Before his death, Yang Wo said: "If everyone can help me in turn and help me kill Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, I will enthrone him as the governor." Many killers were moved and planned to go back and kill Xu Wen and Zhang Hao immediately.

However, Ji Xiang, who took the lead, did not want this situation to happen. As Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's absolute confidant, Ji Xiang's task was to kill Yang Wo. So Ji Xiang stopped his subordinates' impulse and decisively hanged Yang Wo. Yang Wo was dead. According to Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's original agreement, everyone was ready to divide the land of Huainan equally. But Zhang Hao's ambition and desire suddenly expanded rapidly, and he wanted to replace Yang and become the new owner of Huainan.

But in the end, Xu Wen secretly joined forces with the left-level guard General Zhong Taizhang, secretly formed more than 30 dead soldiers, and went straight into Zhang Hao's mansion at night to kill Zhang Hao. The military and political power of Huainan fell into Xu Wen's hands since then, and Xu Wen became the actual helmsman of Huainan. In just over a month, two bloody coups occurred in Huainan. As a close relationship with Huainan, Qian Liu, Wu Yue, naturally would not stand by and watch.

In August of the second year of Kaiping, Qian Liu sent the surrendered general Wang Maozhang of Huainan as an envoy and went to Kaifeng to meet Zhu Wen, intending to discuss with Zhu Wen how to conquer Huainan. Zhu Wen was quite satisfied with Qian Liu. After Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty was in the place of four battles. Li Keyong, Li Maozhen, Wang Jian, Huainan and other forces had surrounded Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen's emperor did not have a good life, so the support of vassal forces such as Qian Liu was very important.

However, Zhu Wen was busy dealing with Li Cunxu, the son of Li Keyong in Hedong. In Zhu Wen's view, dealing with Li Cunxu is obviously more important than interfering in Huainan affairs. The shrewd and cunning Zhu Wen responded to Qian Li's request by fighting Tai Chi. Not only did he not send out a single army or a soldier, he also withdrew Qian Li's messenger Wang Maozhang and refused to return it. Wang Maozhang was a famous general in Huainan, so Zhu Wen certainly had to accept it with a smile.

However, Zhu Wen still did some articles on the surface. When he learned that Qian Li liked jade belts and famous horses in his life, he immediately rewarded Qian Li with a box of jade belts and made ten carpets to encourage him. Although Qian Li liked jade belts and famous horses very much, he could not get any substantial things from Zhu Wen, so his plan to jointly send troops to Huainan was eventually stranded.

But Huainan found Qian Li's intentions. Before Qian Li could receive Zhu Wen's jade belt and famous horse, Huainan launched another fierce attack on Wu and Yue. The target of the attack was Suzhou City, an important city in western Zhejiang that the two sides had been fiercely fighting for a long time.

Compared to Yang Xingmi, Xu Wen can actually be called a qualified leader in Huainan. Although Yang Xingmi is good at fighting, he pays too much attention to his loyalty and has repeatedly missed the opportunity to annex the territory of Wu and Yue Zhejiang. Xu Wen did not show any signs of the battle in Yang Xingmi's early battles, but he had extremely mature political talents.

When Yang Xingmi first captured Xuanzhou, the generals went to the city to grab gold, silver and property, but Xu Wen occupied the granary in obscurity and made porridge to give alms to the hungry people in the city.
