The brother of the Chu State passed on the country, and it was by no means the old man Ma Yin who was old and confused, and his mind was hot. ??? During the Five Dynasties period, the first to implement brotherhood was actually Liu Han of Lingnan.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Ren'an, a native of Pengcheng, sat on the history of Chaozhou governor, and moved south to Lingnan. Liu Ren'an's official position is not limited, and his reputation is not high, and he has been active for a long time before he has found an errand for his son Liu Qian as a general of the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion. It's just that this tooth general is indeed humble, and Liu Qian is not very satisfied. However, he was very lucky, and he didn't know what was going on, but he was taken in by Wei Zhou, the envoy of Lingnan Jiedu, and became Wei Zhou's niece and son-in-law. The Wei family was a famous family at that time, and after this relative, Liu Qian struggled for at least 20 years, and he rose all the way up, until 883 AD, Liu Qian was named the Fengzhou Assassin and served as the envoy of Heshui Town. Although Liu Qian was never promoted after that, he also sat firmly in Fengzhou in the troubled times.
After Liu Qian left, he passed the throne to his eldest son Liu Yin. But at this time, Liu Yin was only twenty years old, and some of his subordinates were not convinced, like replacing him, Liu Yin pretended not to know, deceived those people to his mansion, and killed them all, killing more than 100 people in total. completely suppressed the Fengzhou officials, steadily inherited the position of the local father, and became the Fengzhou assassin. At this time, after Liu Chonggui, the envoy of the Lingnan Festival, heard about Liu Yin's glorious deeds, he thought that Liu Yin was quite capable, so he played the Tang Dynasty court and made Liu Yin the envoy of Hejiang again.
In 895 AD, Liu Chonggui died of illness, and the Tang Dynasty sent a man named Li Zhirou to continue to be the Lingnan Jiedu envoy. Liu Chonggui's subordinates Lu Ju, Tan Hongyu and others did not recognize Li Zhirou at all, and turned Li Zhirou away. Liu Yin felt that it was an opportunity, so he marched to Guangzhou, fought all the way, and really conquered Guangzhou. After that, Liu Yin invited Li Zhirou to Guangzhou and made him an honorary Lingnan Festival envoy.
Next, Liu Yin waved the banner of the Lingnan Jiedu envoy, went east and west, and defeated most of Guangdong. At this time, Li Zhirou fell ill and died, and before he died, he was very graciful to recommend Liu Yin to the imperial court as the envoy of the Lingnan Festival. At that time, the imperial court was Zhu Wen in power, and after Liu Yin sent a sum of money, he finally became the coveted Lingnan Festival envoy. Soon, Zhu Wen wanted to be the emperor, and Liu Yin, who had insight into Zhu Wen's thoughts, happily became Zhu Wen's "trust".
Liu Yin's Dapeng County King has not been a few days, Hunan's Ma Yin, suddenly to Lingnan under the black hand, he sent the general Lu Shizhou to crusade against Liu Yin, the Chu army won successive battles, conquered Guizhou, Wuzhou and other six states, so that Liu Yin almost lost the nest of the state.
After that, Liu Yin learned from the pain, repaired government affairs internally, and implemented the policy of Taoguang and obscurity, Liu Yin's strength increased greatly, and when he was about to do a lot of work, he actually died. The place of enthronement is his younger brother Liu Yan. This Liu Yan is indeed the best helmsman of the Liu family, he is strong and resourceful, he has a series of wars against Guangxi, Ma Yin finally couldn't help but go south to fight with him, and was actually defeated by him, so far, in addition to Guizhou and other places won by Ma Yin, Liu Yan dominates Lingnan. And in 917 AD, he established himself as the emperor and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Since then, Chu and Han have clashed many times, and their grievances have deepened. Even if Liu Yan later became Ma Yin's son-in-law, he still did not change this hostile situation. In Liu Yan's later years, he became more and more murderous, and he took pleasure in killing people at every turn, and he also liked to change his name indiscriminately, and made up a few Chinese characters out of thin air. In 928 AD, he and his old father-in-law fought again in Fengzhou. In 936, he also attacked Mengzhou in Great Chu again, but was beaten by the Chu army and beaten back.
In 942, Liu Yan finally died. The eldest son Liu Hongdu ascended the throne, but this Liu Hongdu behaved nonsense, liked to drink, listened to music, and liked to play with women. As soon as Liu Yan died, Liu Hongdu couldn't wait to start a concert in front of Liu Yan's spirit, holding a wine cup in his right hand and drinking wine, holding a woman in his left hand, and music accompaniment. What's even more strange is that this Liu Hongdu doesn't know if it's a Japanese AV director who crossed over, he was whimsical, and he actually let the musician and the palace maid ** on the spot, and he stood aside with great interest to watch.
Liu Hongdu's misdeeds made the Southern Han Dynasty miserable, the people suffered, and the ministers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Up and down centrifugal detachment, Lingnan is in chaos. This gave his fourth brother Liu Hongxi a chance. In 943, Liu Hongxi was dissatisfied when he saw that Liu Hongdu had provoked the upper and lower passes, so he took advantage of Liu Hongdu's drunkenness to send warriors to suffocate him to bed with a quilt.
After Liu Hongdu's death, Liu Hongxi was proclaimed emperor. This person is similar to his father Liu Yan, his father Liu Yan loves to kill, but all the killings are people with foreign surnames, this Liu Hongxi also loves to kill, but all the killings are his own brothers. Liu Hongxi was not in the right position, and he was afraid that his brother would do the same. So, he went on a killing spree, arranging his brothers from childhood to adulthood, and killing them side by side. Kill people, even if you kill someone, this person also has a hobby, which is a credit eunuch.
Whether you have the ability or not is one thing. However, if you want to be reused by His Majesty the Emperor, that is, he Liu Hongxi, you must cut the thing under your crotch and enter the palace as a eunuch in order to be a big official and be reused. For a time, in the Southern Han Dynasty, eunuchs became a popular profession.
There are many famous eunuchs in history, whether it is a powerful eunuch like Zhao Gao and Gao Lishi, or a useful talent like Zheng He and Sima Qian, most of them are forced, if they have other choices, they will not be eunuchs. However, Liu Hongxi is different, he was the first in history to let many people, not desperate poor people, but some rich people who were sincere eunuchs, and even did not hesitate to go through the back door and bribe the emperors who became eunuchs.
After Liu Hongxi played for a while, he suddenly wanted to learn from his father and marry a beautiful woman from Chu State. It's a pity that he was rejected by Ma Xifan, the king of Chu. In this way, the Chu-Han border became lively again. Because the elite of Chu State is mostly in Changsha. In Lingnan regions such as Guizhou, the strength of the Chu State was weak and often suffered.
In March 945, Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent Liu Yantao and others to lead an army of 40,000 to the south to conquer the Southern Han. As soon as Liu Yantao and others arrived in Wuzhou, Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, passed down an edict, enshrined Ma Yun as the prince of the king, and ordered Liu Yantao to kill Li Jie in front of the army, and at the same time transferred Liu Yantao and Zhang Shaodi, the veterans of the army, from the Chu and Han fronts, and appointed Ma Guangmeng as the commander of Wuzhou, with full responsibility for combat matters.
After Ma Guangmeng got the edict, he changed his previous laziness and immediately beat the drum to gather the generals to discuss the conquest.
