Liuyi thought that Hou Andu would come up from the Qiantang River, but he didn't want Hou Andu to attack from Huiji and Zhuji Ludao, and when Liuyi got the news, Hou Andu's army had arrived, so he was greatly frightened and fled to Taozhiling (now southwest of Jinyun, Zhejiang), and set up a fence at the mouth of the ridge to strengthen himself.

In the spring of the second year (562), Hou Andu broke through the fence set by Liuyi, and Liuyi and his second son Liuzhong fled to Chen Baoying, and Hou Andu captured thousands of men and women of Liuyi's subordinates.

Liuyi will talk about this, and then talk about another person, Zhou Di.

Zhou Di, a native of Nancheng County, Linchuan (now Nancheng County, Jiangxi), had the Hou Jing Rebellion in the second year of the Taiqing Dynasty (548). Emperor Wu of Liang issued an edict to crusade, and all parts of the country responded. In the first year of Dabao (550), Zhou Di's sect Zhou continued to raise troops in the name of begging for thieves, and Zhou Di recruited the villagers to respond and bravely crowned the three armies. In the first year of Chengsheng (552), because of his participation in the pacification of Hou Jing's rebellion, he worshiped Zhou Di as a strong general, Gaozhou Assassin History, and sealed the Marquis of Ru County, with 500 households.

After Chen Ba first took control of the government, he aroused the dissatisfaction of Xiao Bo, the assassin of Guangzhou, and raised troops in February of the second year of Taiping (557) and marched out of Nankang to force Yuzhang. Chen Ba ordered Zhou Wenyu to lead the troops to crusade, and when Zhou Di was in danger, he was named General Zhenyuan, and moved to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang) to assassinate history.

In the second year of Yongding (558), Wang Lin, the assassin of Xiangzhou (now northeast of Dawu County, Hubei), raised an army against Chen and expanded eastward. Zhou Di also wanted to take Nanchuan (the area of the Ganjiang River Basin) and convene the eight counties of Nankang (Ganzhou), Yichun, Ancheng (Anfu), Luling (Ji'an), Linchuan, Bashan (Le'an Gongxi), Yuzhang, and Yuning (Wuning) to form an alliance and threaten to join Wang Lin's department.

Chen Baxian was worried that he would really join, so he treated Zhou Di very well. In May, Wang Lin's general Fan Meng and others met with Yu Xiaoqing, the cave master of Xinwu (now Fengxin), to besiege Zhou Di, and in July, Gaozhou assassinated Shi Huang Fayan, Wu Xing Taishou Shen Ke led his troops to help Zhou Di, and Zhou Di defeated Yu Xiaoqing's department, and this merit was crowned as the general of Pingnan.

In May of the following year (559), Xiong Tanlang killed Zhou Wenyu and opposed Chen in response to Wang Lin, Zhou Di and Zhou Fu, Huang Fayan and others led troops to encircle and annihilate Xiong Tanlang, Xiong fled to Bashan County in defeat and was beheaded by the villagers, and Zhou Di was named the general of Zhennan because of this merit.

Such an ambitious and powerful person, but unwilling to enter the court, Chen Qian of course did not feel at ease, transferred him out of the town of Huancheng (now Jiujiang City, Ruichang City, Jiangxi Province), and asked his son to enter the court to standby, this is to transfer Zhou Di out of his lair, but also to his son into the court as a hostage, of course, caused Zhou Di's dissatisfaction, secretly colluded with Wang Lin Jinzhou (now Jinhua, Zhejiang) Assassin Shi Liuyi, Minzhou (Fuzhou, Fujian) Assassin Shi Chen Bao should contact.

Or Chen Qian just forced him to rebel, only if he jumped, Chen Qian had a reason to clean him up.

In the third year of Tianjia (562), Chen Qian ordered Wu Mingche, the assassin of Jiangzhou, to supervise the army and Huang Fayan, the assassin of Gaozhou, and Yu Zhang, Taishou Zhou Fu, to discuss Zhou Di, but failed. He also made Chen Ji the governor of all armies and attacked Zhou Di again. This time, Zhou Di was outnumbered, and was defeated in the first month of the following year (563), his wife and children were captured, and he went to Jin'an to assassinate Shi Chen Baoying.

Liuyi and Zhou Di both ran to Chen Baoying, who is this Chen Baoying.

Chen Baoying was a native of Houguan (now Fuzhou) in Fujian.

During the Southern Liang period, armed struggles against the government often broke out in Jin'an County, and its generals and chiefs were killed many times. Chen Baoying's father, Chen Yu, was originally a powerful and talented man in the county, and often plotted and expanded his power from it, and later defected to the official army to eliminate the major surname forces, so as to grasp the military power of Jin'an County.

During the Hou Jing Rebellion, wealthy clans from all over the country took advantage of the chaos and divided one side, and Chen Yu was one of them. In 550, Chen Yu forced away Xiao Yun, the Marquis of Binhua, who was too guarded by force, and took charge of the county government, but because of his advanced age, he ordered Chen Bao to serve as a soldier.

At that time, there was a famine in the east of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Huiji was the most serious, seven or eight out of ten people died of hunger, the hungry people sold their lives to survive, and Jin'an was a bumper harvest, Chen Baoying took the opportunity to send troops, from the sea to capture Lin'an, Yongjia, Huiji, Yuyao, Zhuji and other places, and transported a large amount of grain, retrieved a large number of jade silk, population, Jiangsu and Zhejiang can control the boat and car also more to return to Fujian. As a result, the Chen clan greatly increased its wealth and had a large number of generals, and the power of Jin'an was strong for a while.

In 551, Hou Jing's rebellion was put down, and Nanliang, who was already in danger, had to admit the fact that Chen Yu and Chen Bao should be seized of Fujian, and appointed Chen Yu as the Taishou of Jin'an. In 555, Chen Baxian seized the auxiliary power of the Liang Dynasty, Chen Yu asked to return to the old man, and asked for the county government to pass on to Chen Baoying, and was approved, Chen Baoying was awarded the title of Zhuangwu General and Jin'an Taishou.

After the establishment of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Baxian and Chen Qian still wooed Chen Yu and Chen Baoying, and Chen Qian entered Chen Baoying as General Xuanyi, plus Chen Yu Guanglu's doctor, and even incorporated the Chen family into the clan, and their children were knighted regardless of size.

Chen Baoying also knew that now that the battle for the throne had come to an end, the situation of his own division would not last long, so he formed an alliance with Liuyi and Zhou Di, who were separating Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and married Liuyi as his wife.

Sure enough, in 559, the Chen dynasty began to implement a policy of eliminating local separatist forces. First, he sent Xiao Gan to guard Jian'an, wanting to weaken Chen Baoying's power from the upper reaches of the Min River, but because Chen Baoying obstructed him, Xiao Qian could not take office.

When Sikong Hou Andu led the army to attack Liuyi in Zhejiang, Chen Bao should send troops to support; When Wu Mingche, the assassin of Jiangzhou, led an army to attack Zhou Di in Jiangxi, Chen Baoying not only sent troops, but also provided food to support Zhou Di. Unfortunately, both of them were defeated by the official army, and went to Fuzhou in 562 and 563 respectively to join Chen Baoying.

This made Chen Qian furious, canceled Chen Baoying's clan membership, and sent troops to fight. The army of Zhang Zhaoda, the governor of the capital, was attacked by land, and the army of Xinyi Taishou and Yu Xiaoqing was attacked by sea. Chen Baoying also led his army to Jian'an Lake and built a cottage to block the advance of Chen's army.

In the fifth year of Tianjia (564), Zhang Zhaoda ordered the army to cut down wood and build a raft, and exiled it when the river rose rapidly, broke through the water barrier of Chen Baoying's army, and then attacked by land and water. Chen Baoying and 20 members of his family were escorted to Jiankang (present-day Nanjing) and beheaded.

Chen Baoying was pacified, and at the same time captured Liuyi and escorted to Kyoto, where he was beheaded in Jiankang for public display, and all his sons, nephews and accomplices were killed regardless of age, except for the third son, Liuzhenchen, who was spared because he married the princess.

The reason why Zhang Zhaoda's land route army arrived so late than the sea route army was because Zhang Zhaoda went to clean up Zhou Di along the way.

In order to avoid its edge, Zhou Di led his troops to fight in the valley. The people of Linchuan County were grateful to Zhou Di for protecting the land and the people's virtue during the Hou Jing Rebellion, and although he was killed by the Zhang Ministry, no one was willing to provide information about Zhou Di's activities. Zhang Zhaoda had nothing to do, so he turned to attack Chen Baoying and leave a difference.

After Chen Baoying and Liuyi were pacified, Zhou Di was still moving around.

In the fifth year of Tianjia (564), Zhou Di gathered his subordinates, attacked Dongxing, surrendered Xuancheng Taishou Qiansu who was guarding Dongxing, defeated Chen Yang, the assassin of Wuzhou, and killed Chen Sha, the marquis of Qianhua, and Chen Liu (now Guangde, Anhui) Taishou Zhang Sui, and the military power was greatly inspired.
