The Jin army captured An Congjin's son An Hongyi, general Bao Hong and more than 50 people, and obtained the official seal of the Shandong East Road. An Congjin only led dozens of cavalry back to Xiangzhou and defended the city. Gao Xingzhou, Song Yanjun, Zhang Congen and others chased him to Xiangzhou one after another, surrounding the city.

After receiving the report from Gao Xingzhou, the son Emperor Shi Jingtang immediately appointed Gao Xingzhou to preside over the Xiangzhou Prefecture. In order to ensure the extermination of An Congjin in one fell swoop, Shi Jingtang issued an edict to Jingnan and Hunan jointly attack An Congjin, who was defending Xiangzhou. Gao Conghui of Jingnan sent Li Duan, the commander-in-chief of the capital, to command thousands of naval troops to Nanjin. King Ma Xifan of Chu sent Zhang Shaodi, the envoy of Tiance's commander-in-chief, and commanded 150 warships into the Han River to help Gao Xingzhou.

An Chongrong was still kept in the dark when An Congjin was defeated and trapped in Xiangzhou. When An Chongrong learned that An Congjin had raised his troops, he immediately led his troops to respond and planned to implement the agreed strategy of attacking the north and the south. This year, the drought happened to be drought, and the locust plague was very serious, and the people were in trouble. An Chongrong called for resisting Liao and soon gathered tens of thousands of hungry people. An Chongrong led the group of mobs to Yedu, claiming that he would go to Ye County to meet Shi Jingtang.

Shi Jingtang naturally knew that this was An Chongrong's deception, so he sent thirty-nine horse brigades and other horse brigades to command him. He also appointed Du Chongwei, the governor of Tianping, as the governor of Anguo, Ma Quanjie, as the deputy governor of Anguo, and Wang Qing, the former governor of Yongqing, as the governor of Ma Bu and the Du Yuhou.

Du Chongwei was from Shuozhou, and his wife was Shi Jingtang's sister, so he was deeply trusted by Shi Jingtang. After Shi Jingtang became the son emperor, he appointed Du Chongwei's wife as princess and promoted Du Chongwei to the governor of Shuzhou. Later, Du Chongwei followed Hou Yi and defeated Zhang Congbin. Because he made military achievements in this battle, he was promoted to the governor of Luzhou. Fan Yanguang rebelled in Ye County, and Du Chongwei followed Shi Jingtang to fight against Fan Yanguang. After Fan Yanguang surrendered, Du Chongwei was promoted to the governor of Zhongwu and was appointed as Tongpingzhang. Soon, he was transferred to the governor of Tianping.

Feng Dao, Li Song and Du Chongwei had a good relationship, so he repeatedly recommended Du Chongwei to Shi Jingtang. So Shi Jingtang appointed Du Chongwei as the commander-in-chief and acted as the imperial camp to replace Liu Zhiyuan. Liu Zhiyuan was sent to Jinyang by Shi Jingtang, so he hated these two prime ministers very much. Du Chongwei was very cruel and greedy. Wherever he went, he specialized in plundering wealth. The people were afraid and mostly fled. He once crossed the streets and said to the people around him: "People say that I drove away all the people, why are there so many people?"

After receiving the order from Shi Jingtang, Du Chongwei led his army north to fight An Chongrong. He arrived in the southwest of Zongcheng and met An Chongrong's army. An Chongrong set up the Yanyue Formation to defend. Du Chongwei led his army to attack again and again, but he could not attack and went downstairs. Du Chongwei was afraid and wanted to retreat. Commander Wang Chongyin, a native of Wanqiu, said: "Those who use troops are not allowed to retreat. An Chongrong's elite troops are all in the central army. Please divide the elite troops into two teams and attack his left and right wings. Chongyin is willing to use Khitan troops to rush straight to the army for you. He is difficult to take into account both power and will definitely be defeated."

Du Chongwei accepted this suggestion and advanced together. Wang Chongyin led the way and broke into An Chongrong's formation. An Chongrong's army was in chaos. Du Chongwei saw that the front army had gained power, so he also rushed over and killed countless under An Chongrong's command. At the critical moment of the battle between the two sides, Zhao Yanzhi, who had always had conflicts with An Chongrong, suddenly turned against him and surrendered to the Jin army.

It turns out that An Chongrong and Zhao Yanzhi, a native of Shenzhou, were originally

He was a commander of the scattered commander and got along well. When An Chongrong was guarding Chengde, Zhao Yanzhi came from Guanxi to surrender to An Chongwei. An Chongrong treated him very well on the surface and asked Zhao Yanzhi to recruit his previous subordinates. However, An Chongrong was actually very enthusiastic and suspicious of him. When An Chongrong rebelled, he just appointed him as the commander of the formation. Zhao Yanzhi saw that he had not been valued, so he was very resentful to An Chongrong.

Zhao Yanzhi surrendered in front of the formation and rushed to the Jin army. Seeing that his armor, saddles and bridles were all made of silver ornaments, the Jin army couldn't help but become greedy. Without asking his reason, they immediately killed him and stole his things. An Chongrong heard that Zhao Yanzhi was rebelling and was very scared. So he hurriedly withdrew his troops and fled in the baggage team. An Chongrong's subordinates had more than 20,000 troops, half killed and half fled. The Jin army followed him and took the opportunity to attack.

An Chongrong collected the rest of the people and retreated to Zong Cheng. The Jin army still attacked and conquered it in one fell swoop. An Chongrong only fled back to Zhenzhou with more than a dozen cavalrymen and defended himself around the city. It happened to be that the sky was cold, and more than 20,000 people in Zhenzhou died in battle and froze to death. An Chongrong ordered the use of livestock leather to make armor and mobilized the entire city to guard the gate of Zhenzhou.

Du Chongwei led his army to chase the city of Zhenzhou and immediately surrounded Zhenzhou. The soldiers and civilians in Zhenzhou fought to the death without any reinforcements outside and lacking food and grass inside, and refused to surrender, which severely damaged the Jin army. Later, a general under An Chongrong was bribed by the Jin army and led the official army into the city from the Shuinianmen in the west of the city. More than 20,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in battle. An Chongrong led the hundreds of remaining cavalrymen in Tuyuhun to retreat to Yacheng and tried their best to defend.

Du Chongwei killed the people who led the city and took it as his own achievements. An Chongrong eventually failed due to hunger and exhaustion and outnumbered. He was captured by the Later Jin army and sent to Ye County where Shi Jingtang was located.

Shi Jingtang ordered An Chongrong's head to be cut off and put it in a box to report his merits to "Father Emperor" Yelu Deguang. Shi Jingtang immediately changed Zhenzhou Chengde Army to Hengzhou Shunguo Army, and appointed Du Chongwei as the governor of Shunguo and conserving Hengzhou. An Chongrong's private wealth and the wealth of Hengzhou treasury were all taken for himself by Du Chongwei. Although the son Emperor Shi Jingtang knew about it, he didn't care at all. Du Chongwei submitted a letter to recommend Wang Yu, the Shaoqing of the Weiwei, as the deputy envoy of the Jiedu. Wang Yu plundered the people heavily for Du Chongwei, and the people of Hengzhou could not bear the suffering.

Seeing that An Chongrong had been destroyed, the Liao Kingdom was recruited by the Jin Dynasty, so he sent an envoy to ask Shi Jingtang to return Tuyuhun to Liao Kingdom, and at the same time asked for the head of Tuyuhun leader Bai Chengfu. But at this time Tuyuhun was already under Liu Zhiyuan's command, and Bai Chengfu was already the governor. Shi Jingtang had to let Liu Zhiyuan return it. But Liu Zhiyuan was dissatisfied with Shi Jingtang's flattery of Liao Kingdom, so he naturally would not agree to the practice of weakening his strength. Shi Jingtang did not dare to offend Liu Zhiyuan, who was already powerful, and was depressed and didn't know what to do to reply to the father emperor of Liao, so he was so sad that he became sick.

Shi Jingtang was ill and knew that there was not much future, so he summoned Feng Dao to talk to him alone. Shi Jingtang called out his youngest son Shi Chongrui and paid homage to Feng Dao. He ordered the eunuch to hold Shi Chongrui and put it in Feng Dao's arms, meaning that Feng Dao would make him the young master. Feng Dao agreed immediately, but of course he dared not refuse.

On June 13, the seventh year of Tianfu, the son Emperor Shi Jingtang died. Shi Jingtang reigned for seven years and lived in 51 years. Later, the temple was named Gaozu and buried in Xianling.

After Shi Jingtang's death, Feng Dao planned to establish Shi Chongrui as emperor according to Shi Jingtang's wishes. However, the governor of the Balance Jiedu

The guards, Yu Hou of the Ma Budu, opposes. He believes that the country is in a difficult and difficult time, and should make the eldest son the heir, and should support the King of Qi Shi Chonggui as the emperor. Feng Dao was an ambiguous person with no opinion, and was afraid that Jing Yanguang had troops in his hands, so he agreed to his opinion. So, King of Qi Shi Chonggui ascended the throne. Jing Yanguang thought that this was his merit of supporting him, so he began to use power and prohibited people from gathering to discuss right and wrong. When Shi Jingtang was seriously ill, he ordered Liu Zhiyuan, the governor of Hedong, to join the court to assist in the government. Shi Chonggui suppressed the imperial edict and refused to issue it. Liu Zhiyuan formed resentment with the King of Qi from then on.

Jing Yanguang was from Shanzhou. His father Jing Jian was proficient in archery and often said to his son: "If you can't shoot arrows into the iron, it's better not to shoot." He has been very strict with Jing Yanguang since he was a child. Under his father's words and deeds, Jing Yanguang's archery skills were also outstanding, and his arm strength was extraordinary, and he used hard bows. After Jing Yanguang grew up, he joined the army to seek a future.

Jing Yanguang began to advance to the Houliang army, under Zhu Youhui, who was stationed in Shanzhou. Later, Zhu Youhui caused trouble because of rebellion. In order to avoid disaster, Jing Yanguang hurriedly escaped. He began to be a subordinate of Huazhou general Yin Hao, and soon arrived in the army of general Wang Yanzhang. In the fierce battle between Houliang and the Yellow River in Houtang, the Houliang army was defeated. Jing Yanguang was also injured several times and finally fled back to Bianzhou.

After the fall of Later Liang, Jing Yanguang joined the Tang army. When Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan ascended the throne, Zhu Shouyin, the general of Bianzhou, did not obey Li Siyuan's orders and was wiped out. Jing Yanguang was also implicated in Zhu Shouyin's military branch and was about to be executed. Shi Jingtang was the deputy envoy of the Six Army at that time, responsible for dealing with them. Shi Jingtang was very sympathetic to Jing Yanguang, so he secretly released him. Soon after, he took his place under his corps and became his general.

When Shi Jingtang was about to become emperor, the Later Tang Dynasty sent Zhang Jingda to lead 50,000 troops to besiege Taiyuan. Jing Yanguang participated in the military and made great achievements for the Later Jin Dynasty. Shi Jingtang officially became emperor and entrusted Jing Yanguang with important tasks, allowing him to become the commander of the guards and infantry. Later, he was transferred to various places and promoted to the commander of the guards' personal army, becoming Shi Jingtang's confidant general. When Shi Jingtang was at the time of Shi Jingtang, Jing Yanguang had never interfered in political affairs and was very cautious in doing things.

After Shi Jingtang's death, Jing Yanguang became a real power figure in the court. When Shi Jingtang was mourning, all civil and military officials rushed to attend Shi Jingtang's funeral. Before he could reach the palace gate, he was asked to dismount and walk in. This was Jing Yanguang's idea. From then on, Jing Yanguang began to look down on his ministers and became domineering. Shi Chonggui followed his advice because he succeeded to the throne with Jing Yanguang's strong assistance.

Besides, Gao Xing surrounded Xiangzhou for more than a year, but still failed to capture it. The food in the city was almost finished. Wang Qing, the capital of Fengguo Army, spoke to Gao Xingzhou: "The thief city is already in danger, our soldiers are exhausted, and the people are already exhausted. If you don't force him earlier, what are you waiting for?" Then he led his troops to the city with Liu Ci, a native of Yuancheng, the commander of Fengguo, to lead the troops to climb the city. In August, he finally captured the city and An Congjin's entire tribe was self-immolated.

After Gao Xingzhou defeated Xiangzhou, he offered prisoners from Bianliang to Ye County. Wang Chonggui was captured at Qianming Gate and ordered more than 40 people including An Hongchao to behead the city Cao. He then feasted at Chongde Hall and ordered Gao Xingzhou to be the governor of Songzhou and to be appointed as the chief magistrate of the prosecutor. He transferred An Yanwei, the governor of Songzhou, to be the governor of Xijing and the governor of Henan. Zhang Cong'en was the governor of Tokyo and the governor of Kaifeng, and was appointed as the chief magistrate of the prosecutor. He surrendered to Xiangzhou as the governor of defense and promoted Dengzhou to the Weisheng Army, and immediately appointed Song Yanyun as the governor of Dengzhou.
