The Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms and the Fifth Volume of Wu is the first Southern Wu Courtier's biography, of which the beginning of the volume is the "Yuan Raid Biography", which shows the status of Yuan Raid in the Southern Wu Dynasty.
Wu Renchen, a Qing Dynasty historian who wrote "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", also gave Yuan a very high evaluation, saying: "Yuan Raid is strategic, exhaustive, and good, and pingzhi."
That is to say, in the eyes of Wu Everyone, Yuan Xian can be called "Ya Zhangliang" and "Xiao Chen Ping".
So is the historical Yuan Raid really as he said?
Coincidentally, Yuan Xi officially became yang Xingmi's mastermind from 883 AD to his death in 889 AD, exactly six years, and there were six long strategies for Yang Xingmi, so he was jokingly called "Six Strategies to Determine Yang Wu", which did have the wind of "Xiao Chen Ping".
Yuan Xun was a native of Lujiang County, Luzhou, and after Yang Xingmi divided Luzhou, he took the initiative to join forces, and because he "joined the army in battle and had many things to do", he was soon appreciated by Yang Xingmi, and soon after Yuan Xian became the first generation of plotters of yang Wu's clique.
Yuan's first strategy after becoming the mastermind was to "enter Yang Bahuai".
In the late Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou, although it did not have the status and scenery of the Sui Dynasty, was still the "Oriental Pearl" on the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, the largest city in Jiangnan at that time, the seat of the Huainan Jiedu envoy, and the economic center of Jiangnan.
After Yang Xingmi gained a firm foothold in Luzhou, he fell into the confusion of development, and Yuan Xi's strategy opened the door to a new world for him, but Yang Xingmi was more pleased and more hesitant, because the Huainan Jiedushi who was stationed in Yangzhou City was not very human, but the first general of the late Tang Dynasty, Gao Biao.
But after the third year of the Guangqi (887 AD), things took a turn for the better.
In his later years, Gao Biao was dimwitted and superstitious about the art of immortality, and after Fang Shilu used it to gain Gao Biao's favor, he began to dominate Yangzhou and killed many Huainan generals. The Huainan general Bi Shiduo, who was originally a general of the Yellow Nest, was uneasy and raised an army to rebel.
Bi Shiduo summoned his friend Xuanzhou to observe Qin Yan to assist in the battle, and joined forces with the general Gao Youzhen and Zheng Hanzhang to counterattack Yangzhou.
Lü Yongzhi knew that he was alone, so he used the name of Gao Biao to send a letter to the Prefectures of Chu Prefecture, Chu Prefecture, He Prefecture, Lu Prefecture, Shou Prefecture, Shu Prefecture and other prefectures under the jurisdiction of Huainan Jiedu, asking them to join him in killing the rebels.
Yang Xingmi, who was the assassin of Luzhou, naturally received a letter from Lü Yongzhi.
The letter promised Yang Xingmi that if he came, he would receive the post of Sima of the Marching Army of Jiedu Province in Huainan Province.
Sima of the JieshuaiFu Marching Army was one of the core staff of the Shuaifu, and the main participants in the deliberations and coordinated military affairs.
In the era of the five generations of the late Tang Dynasty, sima and jiedu were in charge of the secretary, one in charge of the army, one in charge of the government, and he was the right and left arm of the jie shuai.
To tell the truth, the position of Marching Sima made Yang Xingmi, who was born a thief, moved, plus Gao Biao had the grace of knowing himself, but Yang Xingmi, who dreamed of "entering Yang Bahuai", was not willing to give up easily, so he wavered and decided to ask Yuan To attack.
Yuan Xian, seeing Yang Xingmi's worries, went straight to the point and said: "Gao Gong is confused", breaking Yang Xingmi's expectations for Gao Biao;
Another sentence of "use of adultery and evil" reminds Yang Xingmi that the position of Sima of the march is only a mirror of the water moon;
Immediately after the sentence "Shi Duo rebelled, fierce virtue participated in the meeting, and asked for troops for me", it was pointed out that the rebel soldiers of the Huainan general Bi Shiduo were in Yangzhou, and Lü used it to be unstoppable, so he asked you Yang Xingmi for troops, which was forced by the critical situation.
In the last sentence, Yuan Xian sighed: "On this day, Huainan was awarded the Ming Gongye!" ”
The heavenly opportunity to "enter Yang Bahuai" is at hand, please Ming Gong, don't hesitate any longer!
Yang Xingmi then made up his mind and personally led the elite troops of Luzhou to Yangzhou. Just when Bi Shiduo invaded Yangzhou, he first imprisoned Gao Biao and then killed him, losing the morale of the army.
When Yang Xingmi heard that Gao Biao was dead, he ordered the whole army to wear white mourning clothes and cry at the city of Yangzhou for three days, and then raised a mourning army to attack Yangzhou, and the old pawns in Huainan in Yangzhou city rose up one after another, and Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan abandoned the city and fled.
On this day, Yangzhou City welcomed her new owner.
At that time, the people of Yangzhou would not know that fifteen years later, there would be a magnificent Wu Palace in the city.
At that time, the people of Yangzhou would not know that after forty years, the status and scenery of Jiangdu would reappear again.
