(According to Huainan Yang Xingmi)
Huainan warlord Yang Xingmi, his subordinates are like clouds, but in terms of the strongest ability and the greatest credit, it is Li Fushen.
Gu Quanwu, the number one fierce general under Wu Yue Qian Biao, has never been defeated since his debut, and can be called a winning general, but he is still planted in the hands of Li Fushen.
Li Fushen is indeed very capable of fighting, and he is proud of a lot of achievements, Yang Xingmi started a business before, in the middle and late stages, Li Fushen eliminated a lot of enemies for Yang Xingmi, such as Wuchang Jiedu Du Hong, Jingnan Jiedu made Cheng Wei, and Tian Bao, who was originally Yang Xingmi's confidant but later betrayed Yang Xingmi, which was won by Li Fushen.
Du Hong is Zhu Wen's force, he and Zhu Wen have a good relationship, they would rather die than surrender, and when they were killed, they were still shouting "I can't bear to bear Zhu Gong", Cheng Wei and Zhu Wen also had dealings, and they were also defeated by Li Fushen, and finally committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water.
In fact, Cheng Wei is a bad person, he was the envoy of Jingnan Festival at that time, and when the world was in turmoil, Jingnan happened to be in a coincidence area where various warlords frequently fought each other, and this place fought a lot of wars, especially ruthlessly, that was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and the people were unlucky and could not survive, and there was a huge piece of land, only seventeen households remained, which was about equal to the extinction of regional human beings.
Later, Cheng Wei entered Jingnan, made great efforts, cared for the people, resumed production, stabilized the situation, and the population of Jingnan recovered to more than 10,000 households in a few years.
When Han Jian first arrived in Huazhou, all kinds of dwellings and buildings have been destroyed, only the yamen of the government still preserves the main body of the building, you want to say the people, it must be one of them, hundreds of miles to look at no people, during the day you only feel quiet, and at night, simply "the day is quiet and the fox is arrogant, the wind is frightened and the chicken and dog smell contempt", that is, because there is no one, so when it is dark, even the fox dares to swagger out to walk, and the night wind blows, and there is silence all around, and the dog barks and can't hear it, and the chicken can't hear it.
After Han Jian arrived in Huazhou, he also implemented good governance, appeased the displaced people everywhere, and vigorously developed local agricultural production.
(Five Generations of Troubled Times)
Hwashu is in the north, and Jingnan is in the south, and the people of the time sang the praises of the merits of these two people, calling them "North Korea Nanguo". (Cheng Wei also known as Guo Yu)
The chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, its degree of war and destructive power, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, including the Sixteen Kingdoms period, are almost the same, there are often some children on the Internet who say something, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, absurd and beautiful, this is only half right, that is, that era is indeed quite absurd, but it is not beautiful, and if you want to cross, you have to ensure that your luck is good enough, you are lucky, and you fall to the boundary of Cheng Wei and Han Jian, there is a high probability that you can survive, but if you fall to Caizhou, let Qin Zongquan be caught, if you don't keep it, you will be made into jerky by him.
It is the misfortune of the people that the people are born in troubled times, and it is the luck of the people to have people like Cheng Wei and Han Jian who practice benevolent government in troubled times.
When Xue Ju of the Song Dynasty was evaluating Cheng Wei and Han Jian, he used this paragraph:
All because of bad luck, according to the great domain, although there is no help to replace the labor, and there is the festival of the king of diligence, although the merit is not done, the ambition can also be commendable.
It can be seen that future generations have some sighs and regrets for the slippery curve of these two people's lives.
But history is like this, no matter who, no matter when, no matter where, there will always be people who fall outside the finals, on the eve of the competition.
The last person to appear, Tian Hao, is also a very interesting person.
Tian Hao, he can be said to be the oldest member of Yang Xingmi's entrepreneurial group, and there is no one of them, because he became a brother with Yang Xingmi when Yang Xingmi had not yet started an accident and made a career.
At that time, the two of them were still simple-minded, white and flawless young people, they had great righteousness in their hearts, they treated each other with all sincerity, fought for common ideals and goals, and agreed to join hands to enjoy everything they had fought hard for at the top.
(Appearance and Harmony of the Gods and Leaves Tian Qiang)
Tian Hao is brave and strategic, licking blood from the knife edge for many years, coming and falling, helping Yang Xingmi pacify Jianghuai and become a hero.
But after Yang Xingmi pacified Jianghuai, the painting styles of the two people were different, or after achieving certain achievements, the ideals of the two began to become different.
Yang Xingmi is a very long-term vision, and do things more steadily people, from the beginning of his Luzhou, to the present division of Huainan, more than ten years have passed, Yang Xingmi can be said to have been fighting, listening to the sword and sword, fighting a bloody road, wherever he goes, the war will be extended wherever he goes, in essence, this is not what Yang Xingmi is happy to see, his heart is more eager for a peaceful life, and he has now divided Huainan, he is already a big warlord, he can't maintain that state of fighting and killing every day, The bigger the territory, the better, but the territory is big, and you have to be able to defend it, so Yang Xingmi believes that the top priority is to stabilize internal affairs, polish the system, control the current situation, and let the people recuperate, so that he can take a breath.
The most rare thing in life is not to rush in times of adversity, but to be able to slow down your pace in good times.
Yang Xingmi is going to stop, but Yang Xingmi's subordinates are represented by Tian Hao, but they have long been accustomed to the life of conquering cities and conquering cities, fighting everywhere, they are keen to lead the army, like war, which conflicts with Yang Xingmi's development ideas, Yang Xingmi wants to develop, Tian Hao wants to fight, Yang Xingmi wants to recuperate, Tian Hao wants to fight, Yang Xingmi said to rest, Tian Hao still wants to fight, anyway, the contradiction between Yang Xingmi and Tian Hao has never been broken.
The intimacy of the past has gradually disintegrated, and confidants and brothers have turned into enemies and indignation.
At that time, Tian Hao was stationed in Xuanzhou, and he wrote a letter to Yang Xingmi one day, hoping that Yang Xingmi could pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, that is, to send envoys into the court, give money and things, in exchange for the official certification of Yang Xingmi by the imperial court, and turn him from a warlord of Yeluzi to a party officially appointed by the imperial court.
Yang Xingmi wants to achieve great things, how can he be burdened by fame? But Tian Hao is a martial artist, he doesn't want to be a robber and a robber for the rest of his life, he cares about this thing very much, so he persuaded Yang Xingmi to show favor to the court, Tian Hao said, we are now stuck in the south of the Yangtze River, we should serve the Son of Heaven, such as rivers and lakes Although turbulent, but if they do not converge to the sea, they will only end up in a dry end.
(Huainan famous general Li Fushen)
This is very reasonable, but Yang Xingmi's rebuttal is even more reasonable, Yang Xingmi said that Tang Zhaozong Li Ye is now controlled by Zhu Wen, like a puppet, and I send my wealth to the imperial court, which is not to show loyalty, but to invest in the enemy.
The words made Tian Hao speechless, and the relationship between the two fell to the freezing point, at this time Tian Hao was already antipathetic, he began to recruit troops and build ordnance in Xuanzhou, and he definitely didn't want to do good things.
Li Fushen has been taking close surveillance of Tian Hao, he knows that Tian Hao will be opposed, and often persuades Yang Xingmi to strike first and kill Tian Hao, the province will have endless troubles, Yang Xingmi disagrees, he said that Tian Hao is a hero, and he is not an ordinary hero, he is a great hero, he only intends to rebel now, that is, there is no specific rebellion, although I know that I will have a battle with him sooner or later, but I can't kill him now, which will make others misunderstand me and chill the hearts of the soldiers.
In the end, Yang Xingmi was still very patient, and he waited until Tian Hao took the initiative to rebel, and then sent someone to defeat and kill him.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of quelling the rebellion of Tian Fushen, Tian Hao also held Li Fushen's wife and children hostage, at the cost of their lives, to hold Li Fushen hostage, Li Fushen was unyielding, his wife was killed, Tian Hao escorted Li Fushen's son to the front of the battle, and asked Li Fushen to surrender, Li Fushen actually ordered to pull a bow and arrow left and right, and shot his son to death.
In fact, Yang Xingmi's ability is still okay, whether it is his personal ability, or he is good at controlling and relying on others to achieve great things, anyway, in the wars with warlords in various places, he loses less and wins more, his personal development is good, and the development of Huainan will be very good, and his own character, morality and all aspects are above the passing line, he is very friendly to the people, and he is also good at treating soldiers, because his reputation has always been very good.
Although Yang Xingmi himself is not a super-first-class monarch, but he is much stronger than the average person, we say that in the early days of entrepreneurship, Yang Xingmi is still relatively naïve, inexperienced, everything still depends on the opinions of the staff, but a person's thinking and realm, is never static, but with the change of environment and status and constantly changing, Yang Xingmi has such a very obvious change curve.
(Sitting firmly in Jiangnan, Qian Biao)
At first, he united with Zhu Wen and Wu Yue Qian Biao to deal with Sun Ru in Huainan, and after defeating Sun Ru, he united with Wang Jian of Sichuan and Li Maozhen of Fengxiang to resist Zhu Wen.
After entering Huainan, he has always been devoted to the southern Jiangsu region, and if he wants to win it in one fell swoop, he marched into the army in a big way, and fought fiercely with Qian Biao, and the relationship between the two was very unpleasant for a while.
Yang Xingmi, find a rope, and then string copper coins, called "wearing money eyes", which means that he Yang Xingmi will shoot through Qian Biao's eyes sooner or later, Qian Biao was not to be outdone after learning about this, and sent a few people to cut down poplars on the ground in Wuyue, calling it "cutting Yang Head", which means that I, Qian Biao, will also cut off your Yang Xingmi's head sooner or later, which is quite a frustrating posture between children.
However, when Yang Xingmi found out that he and Qian Biao couldn't beat anyone, and no matter how much war they had, it was just a mutual attrition, he immediately stopped fighting and shook hands with Qian Biao to make peace.
Over the years, Yang Xingmi has experienced a lot, and he has grown into a generation of heroes.
The whole world was full of envoys with different aspirations, different feudal towns plotted against each other, the princes rose together, and the world was in chaos, and Yang Xingmi, he suppressed the momentum of Zhu Wen's development to the south and avoided a wider range of turmoil.
It can be said that Yang Xingmi is a thorn in Zhu Wen's heart that can never be removed.
"Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms" has clouds:
Taizu (referring to Yang Xingmi) started from the grass with thirty-six heroes (said that he was from a humble background), annihilated Sun Ru, Fowl Zhao Qi, broke Du Hong, and destroyed Tian Yan, (said that he had experienced a hundred battles) The sound of the crime was sins, the more Yao soldiers were more and more fierce, and the north and south of the Jianghuai were leveled in the second time. (It is said that he governs the army and governs the government well) or can be described as a very outstanding and unborn person. (Think he was an unborn figure of his time).
Along the way, there have been many hardships, blue threads, thousands of difficulties and dangers, wind and rain, thousands of traces, calluses and feet.
Is there a night when Yang Xingmi also dreamed of a million male soldiers belonging to him?
It's just a pity that amorous hatred has been empty since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up.
