1. "The Rebellion of Xu and Xu"
In August 902, the Qianyi Group faced a serious internal crisis, namely the "Xu Wan and Xu Zaisi Rebellion", known in history as the "Xu and Xu Rebellion" or the "Wu Yongdu Rebellion".
Qian Liu reorganized the surrendered troops in Huainan into Left and Right Wuyongdu, and their commanders were all surrendered generals of the great thief Sun Ru: Xu Wan, the commander of Youwuyongdu, and Xu Zaisi, the commander of Zuowuyongdu. After the two surrendered to Qian Liu, they fought bravely and made great achievements for Qian Liu's group. However, they took advantage of Qian Liu's patrol and led his troops to launch a rebellion. At that time, Xu Wan led his troops outside, while Xu Zaisi led his troops in Hangzhou to respond. The two cooperated internally and externally. At the same time, the two secretly colluded with Huainan's veteran veteran Tian Kai and agreed to divide the Qian family's inheritance.
This crisis almost caused Qian Liu to withdraw from the stage of history. Looking at the nearly 90 years of Wuyue Kingdom's history, the "Xu Wan and Xu Zaisi Rebellion" was the most dangerous crisis, bar none.
At that time, there were more than 200 Jin workers from Runzhou in Hangzhou, and Runzhou was affiliated to the Huainan Yang Xingmi Group. When the rebellion suddenly broke out, Qian Chuanying immediately realized that the rebels would inevitably collude with the Huainan forces, so these more than 200 brocade workers became a major uncertainty. Qian Chuanying falsely conveyed the "imperial edict" and falsely claimed that he had received orders from Qian Liu to take a temporary vacation and relocate them outside the city. Afterwards, he ordered the city defenders to close the inner city gates and mobilized troops to resist tenaciously. At the same time, he sent people to quickly notify Qian Liu outside.
Faced with the emergency, Qian Chuanying remained calm, responded in an orderly manner, and commanded properly. She avoided being taken away by a wave of rebels, defended the base camp, and dragged the rebellion into a stalemate, leaving enough time for Qian Liu to arrange a counterattack. .
After receiving the news from Qian Chuanying, Qian Liu discussed with the generals. Du Jianhui, Gu Quanwu and other generals made a calm analysis and predicted the enemy's prediction, saying that Xu Wan's rebels would definitely collude with Yang Xingmi in Huainan. If Huainan recruits troops to help If he rebels, we will definitely be in trouble, so the top priority is to find a way to appease Yang Xingmi. In the end, Qian Liu decided to "make peace" with Yang Xingmi, using the old method of political marriage.
The sixth son Qian Yuanhuang, who was handsome, both civil and military, shouldered this important task. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet to express his gratitude to Yang Xingmi's daughter.
The road to marriage is extremely dangerous.
First of all, he had to risk his life to cross enemy-occupied territory, so he was personally escorted by General Gu Quanwu on this trip, and Qian Yuanhuang was also asked to dress up as Gu Quanwu's servant to hide his identity. As expected, he was almost intercepted by Huainan General An Renyi on the way;
The second is the attitude of his prospective father-in-law. If Yang Xingmi is short-sighted and determined to take the opportunity to kill Qian Liu, then Qian Yuanhuang's trip will be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.
In the end, Qian Yuanhuang met Yang Xingmi without any danger. Under Gu Quanwu's presentation, Yang Xingmi finally agreed to help Qian Liu quell the rebellion. According to records, Yang Xingmi liked Qian Yuanhuang very much and sighed: "This kind of dragon will give birth to a son like a Qian Lang. My son has the ears of a dolphin and a dog!"
There are not many positive records about Qian Yuanhuang in historical books, but a comment like "this dragon species" can explain a lot of problems.
As mentioned above, Tian Bo from the Huainan forces also planned to increase his strength and rebel against Yang Xingmi. As the Qian Group expected, after receiving Xu Wan's collusion, Tian Bo readily agreed, was good at helping the rebellion, and launched a fierce attack on Hangzhou. , racing against time, trying to make the annexation of eastern Zhejiang a fait accompli before Yang Xingmi intervenes.
Qian Liu resisted tenaciously, shattering Tian Liu's dream of a blitzkrieg and dragging the war into a stalemate. At the same time, Yang Xingmi also issued the sternest warning to Tian Kai, ordering him to stop his troops and return to town. Tian Wei was unable to advance and retreat, so he asked Qian Liu for a marriage and took one of Qian Liu's sons as a hostage to prevent him from being backstabbed by Qian's group.
Tian Kai's reputation has always been negative, and the accusations have been made clear. His fate is already foreseeable. Being a hostage to him is a narrow escape. So when Qian Liu gathered his sons and asked them who wanted to be the son-in-law of the Tian family, all the sons bowed their heads and backed away, which disappointed Qian Liu.
Later, Qian Liu called out names and directly ordered Qian Yuanqiu to go. Qian Yuanqiu shook his head like a rattle, "If I don't go, I won't go, even if you kill me, I won't go."
"I'm going to beat you to death right now!" But Qian Liu was so angry that he almost wanted to kill him, but of course he was stopped by the generals. Qian Yuanqiu was removed from his official position by Qian Liu and was sentenced to death politically.
At this moment, Qian Yuanguan, who was only 16 years old, stepped forward and shouldered the heavy responsibility. Qian Liu was overjoyed, but Qian Liu's wife Wu cried loudly: "My son will be put in the tiger's mouth!" Qian Liu looked confused and didn't know how to explain it.
Qian Yuanguan rescued his father from the siege and regarded death as home, saying: "I forget myself to relieve the country's difficulties, but I have no regrets even if I die." These are the words of a 16-year-old child. Qian Liu was very happy and even more reluctant to give up. The father and son walked to the city wall in tears and, accompanied by several personal followers, lowered Qian Yuanguan out of the city.
Soon after, Tian Wei officially rebelled against Yang Xingmi, and Yang Xingmi sent a letter to Qian Liu asking for help. Qian Liu had to repay the favor of the "Xu and Xu Rebellion" and sent troops to conquer Tian Yu.
Tian Kai originally thought that Qian Liu would be afraid of sending troops. After learning that Qian Liu was attacking, he was very angry and wanted to quarrel many times. Fortunately, Tian's mother was an understanding person and secretly protected him with Tian Kai's brother-in-law. Before Tian Kai launched his last breakout, he said harsh words, "If we don't win today, we will kill Qian Lang!" In the battle that day, Tian Kai was killed, and his minions wanted to carry out his last orders and kill Qian Yuan Guan instead. The master took revenge and was saved by Tian's mother and Tian Kai's brother-in-law.
In the end, Qian Yuanguan returned to Hangzhou without any danger, in October 903. Half a year later, in March 904, Qian Yuanhuang also returned to Hangzhou from Huainan with the Yang family.
One rebellion, two marriages, three sons' meritorious services.

2. Annexation of Luyo
In 905, Lu Yue, the leader of the Chuzhou separatist forces, annexed Wenzhou. In the first month of 907, Qian Liu sent Qian Yuanhuang and Qian Yuanguan to attack Wenzhou Lu Ji.
At that time, Lu Ji gathered forty giant ships in Haimen, Qing'ao, northeast of Wenzhou. Qing'ao is located in the sea northeast of Wenzhou. According to local chronicles, it is "a mountain in the sea, 200 miles west to the county town". The two mountains are opposite each other and resemble a gate, so it is called "Qing'ao". This is the sea gate of Wenzhou, "Jinzhou" Then it enters Wenzhou, and beyond it lies the ocean." Therefore, Lu Ji gathered the main force here, preparing to annihilate the invading enemy on the sea defense line outside Wenzhou.
If there are tigers in Mingzhi Mountain, then let’s not go to Mingzhi Mountain. Qian Yuanguan said to the generals: "All the elite thieves are here... Let him attack the thieves' base..."
What I am hiding from is the elite. This is Qian Yuanguan's special move.
Qian Yuanguan led his troops to bypass Feiyun River in the south of Wenzhou, and entered Wenzhou City by land, killing Lu Ji in one fell swoop. A simple summary: Lu Ji gathered at the first tower in the middle to prepare for a team battle. On Qian Yuanguan's side were Sun Ce + Da Qiao + Miledy + Liu Chan + Cai Wenji, each with interference and resurrection armor, and directly stole the home.
Later, Qian Yuanguan was ordered to take advantage of the victory to attack Chuzhou, but Lu Yue surrendered due to lack of power. In this battle, the Qian Group captured Chuzhou and Wenzhou.
In the book, it is recorded that brothers Qian Yuanhuang and Qian Yuanguan led the army to attack Wenzhou, and it was Qian Yuanguan who suggested a detour, which meant that Qian Yuanguan's contribution was greater.
