Fan Yanguang, the word Zihuan, is a native of Linzhang, Ye County. Since he was a child, he worked in the county government, and when Li Siyuan was the governor of the prime minister, he was accepted as a pro-school.

During the Tongguang period, Li Siyuan captured Yunzhou, and the Liang army was stationed in Yang Liukou to contain Li Siyuan, and the Liang army vanguard Kang Yanxiao secretly sent someone to make peace with Li Siyuan, Li Siyuan wanted to send someone to convey this matter to Zhuang Zong, and when he was suffering from no suitable candidate, Fan Yanguang recommended himself and took the initiative to ask to go to the most dangerous front line, and Li Siyuan handed over his opinion to him.

Fan Yanguang traveled day and night, crossed the line of fire, and finally returned to the rear, and played Zhuang Zong and said: "The Yangliu ferry has been firmly controlled, and there is no plot. Please build a barracks in Majiakou to open up the road to Wenyang. ”

Zhuang Zong listened to him and sent him back to Yunzhou. Not long after, the Later Liang general Wang Yanzhang attacked the new camp built by Majiakou, and Li Siyuan was worried that the city was defenseless, so he sent him to report to Zhuangzong on a small road, requesting additional troops.

Fan Yanguang didn't say a word, he traveled day and night again, crossing the line of fire, but this time he was not very lucky, when he walked to the Yellow River in the middle of the night, he was captured by the Houliang army and sent to Yimen to be put in prison.

Half a year later, when Zhuang Zong was about to arrive in Biancheng, the jailer removed his shackles, apologized and released him. Zhuang Zong was very happy to see him and appointed him as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu and the secretary of the school engineering department.

After Li Siyuan ascended the throne, he promoted him to be the envoy of Xuanhui. Later, he and Huo Yanwei pacified the prince of Qingzhou and was transferred to the inspection school.

When Li Siyuan was fortunate to come to Yimen, he traveled to Xingyang. Hearing that Zhu Shouyin resisted the decree and rebelled, Fan Yanguang once again recommended himself and said to Li Siyuan: "If you don't attack the traitor immediately." The thieves are secured, please give me five hundred cavalry, and I will go there first, and they will be terrified. ”

Li Siyuan granted his request. Fan Yanguang set off from Youshi to midnight, galloped more than 200 miles in one go, covered up the city, and engaged the rebels. The next day. When the defenders of the city saw the emperor's royal drive, they rushed to open the city gate, and Fan Yanguang entered the city. Engage in street battles with the rebels, kill them to the thick gate, and annihilate the rebels' henchmen.

Li Siyuan was very happy the second year. Transferred to the Privy Council. Temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Zhenzhou military government, he was soon officially appointed as the envoy of the festival, and the Taibao of the school was sealed.

During the Changxing period, he was convicted of An Chongzhu, and once again entered the court as a privy envoy, and was crowned with Tongping Zhangshi. Next, because of the plot of Li Congrong, the king of Qin, Fan Yanguang was worried about his own trouble. asked for a foreign appointment many times, and it took a long time for Li Siyuan to agree to him to go out of Changshan. During the Qingtai period. He was recalled to serve as a privy envoy, and soon after, he went out to serve as an envoy to Bianzhou.

happened to meet Wei Futun to drive Zhang Lingzhao away the commander Liu Yanhao, according to the city rebellion, Li Congke ordered Fan Yanguang to crusade against Pingding, let him stay in the capital of Ye, and add the inspection of the school Taishi and the Zhongshu order.

There is a warlock named Zhang Sheng under Fan Yanguang's door, who claims to be proficient in mathematics, when Fan Yanguang was still poor, this guy hit the shit luck and predicted that he would be able to become a general in the future, after Fan Yanguang became noble, he believed his words very much, and he was placed in the first-class hall without his wife and daughter-in-law.

Fan Yanguang said to him: "I dreamed of a big snake entering the belly from the eye of the navel, and then pulling it out and throwing it away after it was halfway in, what is this omen?" Zhang Sheng said: "The snake belongs to the dragon class, and entering the belly is obviously a sign of the emperor and monarch. ”

Since then, Fan Yanguang has gradually come up with the idea of being the emperor of Jianye. But the author thinks that a warlock like Zhang Sheng is generally a master of eating and drinking, even if there is a portent, the snake is an omen of the emperor, and it is not auspicious to pull it out and throw it away after entering halfway.

After Shi Jingjiao raised troops in Taiyuan, Li Congke sent Fan Yanguang to lead 20,000 troops to defend Liaozhou, and Zhao Yanshou formed a corner to encircle, when Zhao Yanshou was defeated, Fan Yanguang hurriedly retreated.

Soon, Shi Jingjiao entered Luodu, and in order to appease the powerful princes, he was named the king of Linqing. At the beginning, Chengde Jiedu made Dong Wenqi greedy and tyrannical, and looted a huge amount of wealth in a few years, and he regarded Miqiong, a native of Pingshan, as a confidant.

Later, Dong Wenqi and Zhao Dejun died together in the Khitan, and Mi Qiong saw that he was interested in money, so he killed all Dong Wenqi's family, seized his family property, and then claimed to be the queen.

After Shi Jingjiao ascended the throne, he issued an edict to let An Chongrong replace him, and let him be the defense envoy of Qizhou.

Fan Yanguang had written to Mi Qiong before, wanting to pull him into rebellion together, but when the letter arrived at Mi Qiong, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no response.

At this time, it happened that Mi Qiong went to Qizhou to take up his post and passed through Weizhou, Fan Yanguang sent troops to kill him in Xiajin, seized his family property, and merged his soldiers and horses, and accepted the assassin Shi of the department to enter Qizhou City to discuss the rebellion, and then panicked and claimed to catch robbers in Xiajin and killed Mi Qiong by mistake.

On the occasion of Shi Jingjiao's plan to move the capital to Daliang, Sang Weihan said: "Daliang controls Yan and Zhao in the north, and Jiang and Huai in the south, which is a land and water metropolis, and is very rich in materials and finance.

Now that Fan Yanguang's signs of rebellion have been revealed, Daliang is only ten post stations away from Weizhou, and if something happens there, the army will come over soon, which is really like the saying 'lightning is not enough'! ”

After hearing this, Shi Jingjiao was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly issued an edict, saying that Luoyang Cao Yun was insufficient, and toured Bianzhou in the east. Fan Yanguang has always entrusted the political affairs of the military government to Sun Rui, who relied on his grace and arbitrariness, and when Fan Yanguang fell ill, Sun Rui secretly summoned Feng Hui, the assassin of Lanzhou, and conspired with him to force Fan Yanguang to rebel.

Fan Yanguang remembered the words of the warlock Zhang Sheng, and felt that maybe the time had come to call Emperor Jianye, so he complied with them.

Soon, Zhang Yan, the envoy of the Six Houses, was ordered by Shi Jingjiao to send an envoy to Weizhou to return to the court, and reported the situation of Fan Yanguang's rebellion, and Fu Yanrao, the envoy of Yicheng Jiedu, also reported that Fan Yanguang was sending troops to cross the Yellow River.

Shi Jingjiao then began to prepare for war, and ordered Bai Fengjin, the commander of the guard horse army and the envoy of Zhaoxin Jiedu, to lead 1,500 cavalry to garrison Baimajin, and Zhang Congbin, the inspector of the eastern capital, deployed for the southwest of Wei Mansion. Yang Guangyuan, the commander of the guards, led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to garrison Huazhou, and Du Chongwei, the commander of the guards, commanded Du Chongwei to garrison Weizhou.

And here, Fan Yanguang appointed Feng Hui as the capital deployment, and Sun Rui as the capital supervisor. He commanded 20,000 infantry and cavalry and arrived at the mouth of Liyang along the west bank of the Yellow River.

Shi Jingjiao ordered Zhang Congbin to attack Fan Yanguang quickly, but there was money to make the grinding ghost, Fan Yanguang asked people to persuade Zhang Congbin, under the attack of sugar-coated shells, Zhang Congbin killed Heyang Jiedu to make the prince Shi Chongxin declare a rebellion, and then led the soldiers and horses into Luoyang, killing the prince Shi Chongyou who stayed in the eastern capital.

Then lead the troops to hold the Bishui Pass. Approaching Bianzhou. Shi Jingjiao ordered Hou Yi to lead 5,000 forbidden troops to join Du Chongwei to conquer Zhang Congbin, and ordered Xuanhui to make Liu Churang divide troops from Liyang to defeat him. In July, Zhang Congbin attacked Bishui. Kill the patrol envoy Song Tinghao.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Shi Jingjiao hurriedly prepared the frame and planned to go to Jinyang to take refuge, Sang Weihan kowtowed and said bitterly: "Although the edge of the thief is strong, its momentum cannot last. Please wait a little. Do not move lightly. ”

Only then did Shi Jingjiao dispel his intention to flee north. Fan Yanguang, who was good at digging corners, once again sent envoys to lure the derelict generals in the Jin army, Lou Jiying, the general of the Right Guard, Yin Hui, the general of the Right Guard, in Daliang, and Wen Tao's sons Wen Yanjun, Wen Yannuan, and Wen Yanyan in Xuzhou, all responded positively to him. Fan Yanguang ordered the Wen Yanjun brothers to seize Xuzhou.

Lou Jiying and Yin Hui fled in a hurry because of the leak. Yin Hui was killed on his way to Wu.

Lou Jiying defected to Xuzhou and attached himself to the Wen brothers. Zhongwu Jiedu made Chang Congjian guard against them with heavy troops, and Wen Yanjun and others did not dare to attack. wanted to kill Lou Jiying and return to the court, but Wen Yannuma stopped him. went to Zhang Congbin together. Lou Jiying learned of their conspiracy and persuaded Zhang Congbin to capture the three Wen brothers and kill them all.

Bai Fengjin was in Huazhou, and some soldiers looted at night, so they captured them, and among the five people captured, three were Bai Fengjin's subordinates, and two were Fu Yanrao's subordinates, Bai Fengjin did not hesitate to kill them all.

Fu Yanrao felt that Bai Fengjin killed his little brother without even saying hello, and he was very faceless, so he was very angry. The next day, Bai Fengjin came with a few followers to meet Fu Yanrao to apologize.

Fu Yanrao was unmoved: "Each of the troops has its own subordinates, why did you catch the sergeants of Huazhou and kill them together, and you don't even care about the names of the host and guests!" ”

Bai Fengjin also said angrily: "The sergeant has broken the law, how can he separate you from me!" I have already taken responsibility to apologize to you, and you are still angry, isn't this an attempt to rebel with Fan Yanguang! ”

Then he flicked his sleeves and got up to leave, Fu Yanrao didn't stay, but the soldiers under Fu Yanrao's tent didn't do it, and he caught Bai Fengjin with three strikes and five divisions, and killed him. Seeing that their boss had been killed, Bai Fengjin's entourage walked out of the camp and shouted for help to their own people outside.

Fengguo's left wing commander made Ma Wan panic and didn't know what to do, and led the soldiers and horses to follow the riot, but happened to meet the right wing commander Lu Shunmi who led the headquarters out of the camp, and said to Ma Wan sharply: "Fu Gong killed Bai Gong without authorization, and he must be conspiring with Wei Cheng."

It is only two hundred miles away from the palace of the Son of Heaven, and the families of our people and the sergeants are all in Daliang, why don't you want to serve the country, but help the rebels, do you want to exterminate yourself!

Now we should work together to arrest Fu Gong and send him to the Son of Heaven to make great contributions. Then he turned around and raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army will be rewarded for obeying orders, and those who disobey orders will be killed!" ”

Some of the soldiers in Ma Wansuo's department shouted and jumped, and Lu Shunmi was not ambiguous, and killed a few people with a knife, and everyone did not dare to move.

Ma Wan had no choice but to follow him, and together with Fengguo Du Yu Hou Fangtai and others, they attacked Yacheng, captured Fu Yanrao, and sent him back to Daliang, and soon Fu Yanrao was killed in Banjing Pavilion.

Yang Guangyuan led the troops from Baigao to Huazhou, and the soldiers heard about the turmoil in Huazhou, and also wanted to promote Yang Guangyuan as the emperor. Yang Guangyuan said: "The Son of Heaven is something that you people can play with!"

Back then, my surrender in Jinyang was out of desperation, and now if I change my plan, I will really be a thief. His subordinates didn't dare to say more.

At this time, Feng Hui and Sun Rui led the soldiers and horses to Liuming Town, Yang Guangyuan did not move, lured them to cross the river, and suddenly launched an attack when they were halfway crossed, Yin Hui and Sun Rui were defeated, many people drowned in the water, 3,000 people were killed, Yin Hui and Sun Rui fled back to Weizhou.

Du Chongwei and Hou Yi led the troops to Bishui, met Zhang Congbin, the two sides fought, Zhang Congbin's army was almost annihilated, Zhang Congbin fled, crossed the river by horse, and was drowned by the river, and the henchmen Zhang Yanbo, Zhang Jizuo, and Lou Jiying were escorted to Daliang one after another.

Fan Yanguang knew that it was difficult to achieve a big thing, so he blamed Sun Rui, killed his entire clan, and then sent an envoy to sue for peace, Yang Guangyuan reported the matter to the imperial court, but Shi Jingjiao did not allow it. Anzhou Weihe commanded Wang Hui heard that Fan Yanguang was in rebellion, and after killing the envoy of Anyuan Jiedu, he led the military government himself, planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and after Fan Yanguang was victorious, he would attach himself to him, and if he was defeated, he would cross the river and defect to Wu.

Shi Jingjiao sent Li Jinquan, the general of the right leading army, to lead a thousand cavalry to Anzhou to inspect and inspect, promised to pardon Wang Hui, and appointed him as the assassin of Tangzhou. Wang Hui planned to defect to Wu after plundering in Anzhou, but was killed by his general Hu Jin on the way.

Soon Feng Hui took the opportunity to surrender under the pretext of going to war, saying that Fan Yanguang had run out of food in the city and was in poor condition. Yang Guangyuan attacked Guangjin and could not overcome it for more than a year.

The city was in dire straits, and the Jin army was exhausted, so Shi Jingjiao sent an envoy into the city and said to Fan Yanguang: "You are already in great danger, and it is a matter of time before you break through the city. If I kill you after you are submitted, how can you enjoy the country?

Heaven is above to bear witness to this. And rewarded him with Danqi iron coupons, changed his title to the king of Gaoping County, and moved the town to the balance.

Fan Yanguang said to the doorman: "The Lord has never broken his word, and promised not to execute me, so I will not be executed." ”

He removed the garrison and asked for surrender in plain clothes. Soon after, he asked for removal from his official position, and ordered Fan Yanguang to retire as the crown prince and prince.

Soon, Fan Yanguang played, hoping to return to the private house in Heyang to live in his old age, Shi Jingjiao agreed to him, Fan Yanguang took his wife and children, and used a car loaded with strange treasures to go.

At this time, Yang Guangyuan guarded Luoyang, and was also in charge of Meng and Huai Prefectures, not only coveting Fan Yanguang's money, but also gradually discovering the secret decree of the imperial court, so he played: "Fan Yanguang is a traitor of the state, if you don't care about restraining him, you must flee north to Hudi, or south to Wu, please let him live in the western capital." ”

Shi Jingjiao agreed. Yang Guangyuan sent his son Yang Chengxun to lead troops to besiege Fan Yanguang's mansion and force him to commit suicide. Fan Yanguang said: "The Holy Son of Heaven is above, reward me with an iron coupon for Danshu, and allow me not to die, how can your father and son be so threatening?" ”

The next morning, Yang Seungxun drove them away with his sword, ordered him to get on his horse and walk to the pontoon bridge and push him into the water. A generation of heroes Fan Yanguang just hung up. But this was only the beginning, and the rebellion was far from stopping. (To be continued......)
