Canceling the Northern Expedition would mean revoking the command of the Northern Expedition. Li Jinquan, a former general, had no intention of this and firmly supported the court's decision. However, Liu Yanzhen, the "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army" and the governor of Shouzhou, was very dissatisfied with this. In order to preserve his vested power, Liu Yanzhen instigated his instigators to spread rumors in the Shouzhou area, claiming that the Later Han Dynasty had gathered on a large scale in the Huaibei area. Intention to invade south.
Liu Yan, his father is Huainan's meritorious veteran Liu Xin.
Liu was originally a bandit leader in the Yanzhou area. Yang Xingmi took control of Yangzhou and defected to Yang Xing. Because of his bravery in battle and extraordinary numbers, he won the respect of Yang Xingmi and often discussed military matters with him. One day, Yang Xingmi summoned Liu Xin to come for a discussion. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin was in a state of drunkenness (he could not speak when he was drunk). Yang Xingmi was so drunk that he scolded him on the spot. Liu Xin also carried a handful of treasures and ran away from home.
The generals on the left and right asked Yang Xing for instructions, saying that Liu Xin was a traitor, and requested that he be brought back for accountability. Yang Xingmi asked, how could Liu Xin betray me? It's just that he drank too much, and he will come back naturally when he wakes up.
Second, Liu Xin really took the blame.
The peak of Liu Xin's life was in Qianzhou. After being unable to conquer Qianzhou for a long time, Liu Xin first accepted Tan Quanbo's peace petition, and after withdrawing his troops, he suddenly returned and conquered Qianzhou in one fell swoop. Of course, according to historical records, this was not Liu Xin's plan. Liu Xin sincerely accepted the peace at that time, and it was Xu Wen who forced him to fight back.
In summary, Qianzhou was divided by Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo for more than thirty years, and Liu Xin was the end of Qianzhou. From then on, Qianzhou, Shaozhou and other places were incorporated into the territory of Huainan forces. Comrade Liu Xin still contributed a lot to Huainan Group's expansion.
Liu Xin is one of the oldest members of the Huainan Group. He has made many meritorious deeds, especially in the annexation of Qianzhou. He is even more arrogant and arrogant when it comes to annexing Qianzhou. After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, an envoy was sent to visit Huai. When the envoy passed by Liu Xin's station, Liu Xin hosted a banquet for the envoy. He boasted unabashedly, pointed his thumb at his nose, and asked drunkenly: "Has your emperor heard of my name?" ?"
The messenger replied truthfully, saying that our lord has just entered the throne and is not interested in us. He has not heard of your name yet.
Liu Xin curled his lips and said, "Remember, Han has Han in Han, and Liu in Wu, they are the same class!" Zhuge Liang in Han compares himself to Guan Zhongle, and Liu Xin compares himself to Han Xin in Five Dynasties.
Then, Liu Xin said provocatively: "Go back and tell your master, let him come to the Huaihe River to sign with me (return to Heaven, I will compare the shots on the Huaihe River)." Dare you say that you don't know me? I'll let you know each other!
Liu Xin's arrogance and outspokenness almost caused a serious diplomatic incident, and even almost led to a war of national annihilation for Huainan. Because Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, had the power to conquer the mountains and rivers and dominate the world, Huainan and the former Shu were obviously among his considerations. At that time, the officials of the Later Tang Dynasty almost unanimously advocated attacking Huainan first.
Later, due to a series of reasons, Li Cunxu listed the former Shu as the primary target of his crusade and launched a campaign to destroy Shu. As a result, Huainan escaped a disaster. When news of the massive attack on Shu in the Later Tang Dynasty spread, Xu Wen immediately recalled Liu Xin and warned him, "I wanted to seize the territory with internal preparations, because I was afraid that Liu Xin would really cause trouble."

Liu Yanzhen was Liu Xin's fourth son and served as the governor of Haizhou and Chuzhou. Youdao is a tiger but has no dogs. Liu Yanzhen is good at riding and is especially good at arrows. According to records, his arrows were so accurate that he was nicknamed "Liu Yijian" by the military. Speaking of Liu Yanzhen’s birthday, I have to mention an old story:
Liu, the founding father of the Huainan regime and one of the "Thirty-Six Heroes", followed Yang Xingmiduo and worshiped the Haozhou regiment for his merit, and became famous far and wide. After Liu Jin's death, his son Liu Rengui succeeded his father and continued to be in charge of Haozhou. Liu Rengui was corrupt and lawless during his tenure. After Liu Rengui's death, his son Liu Chongjun succeeded to his father and continued to be in charge of Haozhou.
When Liu Chongjun came to the throne, he changed his father's tyranny and corruption and became lenient and loving, which was well received by the people. Therefore, he was favored by Xu Zhigao. In the struggle between Xu Zhigao and Xu Zhixun, he clearly sided with Xu Zhi and became Xu Zhigao's confidant. When Xu Zhixun's recommendation for his brother-in-law Li Yanzhong to succeed his father was rejected, Xu Zhixun complained, "Your confidant Liu Chong has been in charge of Hao for three generations. I asked my brother-in-law to take over from my father-in-law. Is there anything wrong?" "
Later, Liu Chongjun even married Li Jing, and Liu Chongjun's son wanted to marry Li Jing's daughter.
Li Jing promoted Haozhou to Dingyuan, and Liu Chongjun was promoted from tuanlian envoy to Jiedu, and he was extremely favored by the Southern Tang court.
As the family's power and status increased, Liu Chongjun finally exposed his true nature and began to engage in harsh governance and corruption. Compared with his father Liu Rengui, he was even worse than his father.
Xu Zhigao and Li Jing, father and son, favored Liu Chong because Xu Zhigao's claim to the throne and Li Jing's succession faced many obstacles and they urgently needed to find a political alliance. Liu Chongjun, who had been a general for three generations, was a relatively important political figure.
When Li Jing gradually took control of the overall situation, he became extremely disgusted with the corrupt Liu Chongjun, and was even more suspicious of the Wufu warlord who was deeply rooted in Haozhou, so he began to plan to deprive him of his real power.
Just then, Yao Jing, the governor of the Huai Army of the Qing Dynasty in Shouzhou, died of illness. Yao was originally one of Liu Jin's horses, that is, a servant who helped Liu Jin lead his horses. Later, because of his performance, he was promoted to the rank of Pi by Liu Jin. A few years later, he was promoted to the rank of general by Xu Zhigao, and later he was promoted to the rank of general. Shouzhou Jiedushi. From a pony leading a horse, he turned into a very inspirational diaosi counterattack.
For example, when Yao Jing left, Liu Jin's grandson Liu Chong wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and receive his longevity, so he bribed the central government with a lot of money and asked them to help him and put in a good word.
Li Jing took advantage of the plan and pretended to be stupid. He deliberately heard "concurrent town" as "move town", so he happily answered and immediately told Liu Chongjun to move to Shouzhou.
Liu Chongjun did not dare to resist the order, so he planned to go to Shouzhou first, and then slowly explain to the emperor. As a result, as soon as Liu Chongjun left Hao, Liu Yanzhen, who was the governor of Chuzhou at the time, immediately rushed to Hao according to a secret order and took over the city defense.
Historical records say that Liu Yanzhen "ran into Haozhou".
Liu Chongjun immediately realized that this was a trap deliberately set by Li Jing for him. However, Liu Chongjun did not hate Li for this. Instead, he seriously reflected on himself and believed that everything was his own. It was because of his failure to serve as an official that he lost the emperor's letter. Li Jing's move was already a kind of protection for himself, because this Just being a policeman is much more merciful than killing everyone.

Later, Liu Chongjun was grateful to Li Jing and decided to change his mind and start a new life.
The prodigal son returns with gold. It should be that Comrade Liu Chongjun's consciousness is still very high. However, fate played a trick on him. Just when he was heartbroken, he unfortunately fell ill and died at the age of 40. Li Jing gave him the posthumous title of Tai Tai and the posthumous title "Wei".
After Liu Chongjun died, "Liu Yijian" Liu Yanzhen moved from Haozhou to Shouzhou.
When Liu Yanzhen arrived in Shouzhou, he brought a lingering nightmare to Shouzhou.
First, as the governor, he personally went to the sea to work in Shouzhou City and competed with the people for profit. Liu Yanzhen will definitely not follow any fair dealings, but will use his power to buy others by force and forcibly distribute his usury. This is called making a living, but it is actually robbery.
Among them, there is Anfeng in Shouzhou, which irrigates thousands of hectares of farmland and supports Shouzhou's economy. In order to strengthen the city defense, Liu Yanzhen diverted the water from Anfeng Pond into the trench outside the city and turned it into a city protection. As a result, the farmland dried up due to lack of water for irrigation, and agriculture faced extinction. At the same time, Liu Yanzhen increased the land tax, causing Shouzhou farmers to Unable to pay the rent, Liu Yanzhen pointed out a way out for the poor people: selling their fields.
This is a common fatal problem in the feudal period - land annexation.
The people of Shouzhou had no choice but to sell off their crops, and the buyer was Liu Yanzhen. Liu Yanzhen chose the most fertile soil, but judged it according to the poorest land. When the land was annexed, she did not forget to cut a handful of leeks.
When Liu Yanzhen completed the land annexation and ordered the restoration of the irrigation function of Anfengtang, Liu Yanzhen became the largest landowner in Shouzhou and the richest man in Shouzhou.
Liu Yanzhen bribed Wei Cen and other "four evil spirits and five ghosts" with a lot of money. These dignitaries praised Liu Yan in front of Li Jing and described him as the Great Wall of the Southern Tang Dynasty (promoted as a Great Wall).
During Li Jing's Northern Expedition, Liu Yanzhen was appointed deputy commander-in-chief. When Li Jing decided to cancel it, Liu Yanzhen was greedy for power, so he deliberately created rumors that the Later Han Dynasty was preparing to make a large-scale invasion and that the Shouzhou military affairs could not be cancelled.
The "Four Evils and Five Ghosts" are also helping in the Central Plains, saying that Shouzhou is the beachhead against the Central Plains and should not be underestimated. As a result, the greedy and cruel Liu Yanzhen was able to continue to dominate Shouzhou until the Central Plains (later Zhou Dynasty) officially invaded Huaihe.
Li Jingxin believed that there would be a large-scale invasion by the Later Han Dynasty, so he appointed Li Hongji, the eldest son of the emperor, to be the capital of Run and Xuan prefectures, and to be in charge of Run.
Prepared to resist the northern invasion force.
The invasion from the north was a false alarm, and the current challenge to the Southern Tang Dynasty still came from the south.
