 for Dublin, while Bannard Cogley (a friend of <mask>ir) and Ó Lochlainn had been discussing finding a more permanent theatre space, and they met, along with some mutual friends, in Bannard Cogley's club at 7 Harcourt Street, in spring 1928. After further meetings, the quartet rented the Peacock Theatre and launched the Gate Theatre Studio there on 14 October 1928. The theatre studio spent its early years at the 102-seat Peacock Theatre and opened with a production of Peer Gynt, and <mask>ir subsequently acted in and designed nearly 300 productions at the Peacock and, after the company gained its own home in 1930, on Cavendish Row, at the Gate. He appeared in a wide range of plays, from Shakespeare (Romeo and Othello) to Ibsen (Oswald in Ghosts and the title role in Brand) and Eugene O'Neill (Orin in Mourning Becomes Electra), as well as lighter pieces.Over the next fifty years the Gate Theatre company presented a programme of new or experimental plays by Wilde, Shaw, Coward and many others. <mask>óir and Edwards fostered the careers of new Irish dramatists such as Denis Johnston and rising young actors including Orson Welles. <mask>ir returned to the West End in 1935, with the Gate company. The theatrical paper The Era rated his Hamlet one of the best in recent years: "charged with force, intelligence, humanity and dramatic certainty … a dominating and moving piece of acting", and said that the Gate company "looks like putting the Abbey in the shade". The  cosmopolitan atmosphere of <mask>óir and Edwards' Gate Theatre was contrasted with the earnest Celticism of the Abbey, and the two Dublin theatres were affectionately dubbed "Sodom and Begorrah". Wartime and later years
<mask>ir remained based in Ireland during the Second World War. In the post-war years he returned to the West End in his own play Ill Met by Moonlight.The Stage thought the piece "too obscure and

texts: too discursive", but praised the performances of  <mask>ir, Edwards and their supporting cast. The following year the company played a short season on Broadway – <mask>ir's début there – giving his Where Stars Walk, Johnston's The Old Lady Says No!, and Shaw's  John Bull's Other Island. In 1951 he played Iago to Welles's Othello in the latter's film adaptation. In his early fifties he was unusually old for the role, but Welles wanted Iago played as an older, impotent man consumed by envy of the younger Othello. <mask>ir returned to the role onstage at the Dublin Festival in 1962 opposite William Marshall in the title role. In 1954 <mask>ir returned to London, playing Brack in Hedda Gabler with Peggy Ashcroft as Hedda. In the role he was judged to be both sinister and amusing.Most of his work continued to be at the Gate, but in 1959 he returned to New York to play Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing, with John Gielgud as Benedick and Margaret Leighton as Beatrice. <mask>ir's biggest theatrical success came in 1960, with his one-man show The Importance of Being Oscar, which won enthusiastic reviews and did well at the box-office. It opened at the Gate, after which he played it on Broadway, in London and on tour around the world. He appeared in the piece more than 1,300 times between 1960 and 1975. He followed this in May 1963 with a new one-man entertainment I Must Be Talking to My Friends, and in 1970 presented a third, Talking About Yeats. In his later years <mask>ir relaxed his insistence on his fictitious origins and admitted the truth to interviewers, but for many years after his death reference books nonetheless continued to record him as a native of Cork. Despite Ireland's anti-gay laws, not repealed in their lifetimes, <mask>ir and Edwards gained wide acceptance.The writer Éibhear Walshe has described them as Ireland's only publicly acknowledged homosexuals.

 They were jointly created freemen of the city of Dublin in 1973, the first theatre people to be thus honoured. Before that, <mask>óir had received the Lady Gregory Medal for literature in 1960 and an honorary doctorate from Trinity College in 1963. <mask>ir made his final stage performance at the Gate in 1975 in The Importance of Being Oscar. He died at his and Edwards's Dublin home, 4 Harcourt Terrace, on 6 March 1978. Walshe records, "as a measure of the public acceptance of the <mask>óir–Edwards partnership, the president of Ireland attended Micheál's funeral, two days later, at St Fintan's, Howth, Dublin, and paid his respects to Hilton Edwards as chief mourner".

<mask> (Chinese: 巴金; pinyin: Bā Jīn; 25 November 190417 October 2005) was a Chinese writer. In addition to his impact on Chinese literature, he also wrote three original works in Esperanto, and as a political activist he wrote The Family. Name
He was born as Li Yaotang, with alternate name Li Feigan. He used the pen name <mask>, for which he is most known. The first character of his pen name may took from <mask>, a classmate of his who committed suicide in Paris, and the last character of which is the Chinese equivalent of the last syllable of Peter Kropotkin (克鲁泡特金, Ke-lu-pao-te-jin). He was also sometimes known as Li Pei Kan. Biography

Early life and anarchism
<mask> was born in Chengdu, Sichuan into a five-generation household.As a child <mask> was taught to read and write first by his mother, and later by privately engaged house tutors. It was not until the death of this grandfather in 1917, causing a power struggle which ended with an elder uncle emerging victorious, that he was released to explore the world. As a youngster, <mask> was deeply influenced by Piotr Kropotkin's pamphlet, An Appeal to the Young, which he read at age fifteen. Impressed by Emma Goldman, whom he later referred to as his "spiritual mother", <mask> started a lifelong correspondence with her. In 1920, <mask> enrolled, with an elder brother, in the Chengdu Foreign Language Specialist School to

 study English. It was there he first engaged in the organization of literary journal Crescent and wrote a number of vers libre. He then joined an anarchist organization, the Equality Society, actively distributing propaganda leaflets.Three years later, <mask> moved to Shanghai and subsequently to Dongnan University, Nanjing on the pretext of study, but mainly, as he put it, to escape the feudalistic (fengjian) influence of his family. There, he learned Esperanto and took part in leftist socialist strikes, while remaining active in the anarchist movement, writing a pamphlet on the Chicago Anarchist Martyrs. France (1927–1928)
On graduation, he left on board a liner on February 15, 1927, with a friend for Paris, France, for further studies, where he lodged at the 5th arrondissement (three months at Rue Banville, then Rue Tournefort, No. 2). He described his life there as boring and monotonous, taking daily afternoon walks at the Jardin du Luxembourg and evening French lessons at Alliance Francaise. He recalled especially Rousseau's statue at the Panthéon ("I almost knelt before it...he whom Tolstoy described as the conscience of the 18th century"), the River Seine and the tolling of the Notre Dame. In Paris, <mask> writes:

"In spring 1927, I was living atop a five-storied apartment at Paris's Quartier Latin, a small lodging full of gas and onion smell.I was lonely, I felt

 pain, sunlight hardly shone into my room: I missed my homeland and my family." It was partly owing to boredom when <mask> began to write his first novel, Miewang  (“Destruction”). In France, <mask> continued his anarchist activism, translated many anarchist works, including Kropotkin's Ethics, into Chinese, which was mailed back to Shanghai's anarchist magazines for publication. Alexander Berkman was one of many anarchist leaders he met there. The trials of Italian immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti made <mask> angry, and he campaigned for their release. Vanzetti apparently was moved enough to reply to <mask> from his American prison, with a package of anarchist texts for his readings. Their short correspondence ceased when Vanzetti was executed, along with Sacco, on August 23, 1927.<mask> published in late 1932 the short story Dianqi  ("The Electric Chair"), to protest against their execution. Shanghai and later life
On his return to Shanghai in 1928, <mask> continued writing and working on translations. His first novel, Destruction, was released serially by Fiction Monthly in 1929, a literary magazine. During the next 10 years, <mask> acted as editor to several important publishing firms and periodicals, as well as composing the works which he is best known for – The Family (1931), The Love Trilogy Fog (1931), Rain (1933) and Lightning (1935), the novellas Autumn in Spring

During the Second Sino-Japanese War, <mask> was actively involved in propaganda work against the Japanese invasion, working on the publication Nahan  (“Outcries”, later renamed Fenghuo , “Beacons”) with Mao Dun. In the later stages of the war, <mask> completed the Torrents Trilogy — of which The Family (1931) was the first written — with Spring (1938) and Autumn (1940). Other works of the post-war period, like the short novels A Garden of Repose (1944), Ward Four (1946) and Cold Nights (1947), contain some of his strongest writing.He ceased fiction writing after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, choosing to concentrate on nonfiction instead. During the Cultural Revolution, <mask> was heavily persecuted as a counter-revolutionary. His wife since 1944, Xiao Shan, died of cancer in 1972. <mask> was rehabilitated in 1977, after which he was elected to many important national literary posts, including chairman of the Chinese Writers' Association (since 1983). The most significant work of his later years is the discursive writings in Suixiang Lu (translated as "Random Thoughts", five volumes, composed between 1978 and 1986), in which, among other things, he reflected on the Cultural Revolution in a

The Shantou Cultural Revolution Museum referenced the influence of <mask> on its establishment through displaying a depiction of his at the entrance as well as a quote of his, "Every town in China should establish a museum about the Cultural Revolution." <mask>'s works were heavily influenced by foreign writers, including Émile Zola, Ivan Turgenev, Alexandr Herzen, Anton Chekhov, and Emma Goldman, and a substantial amount of his collected works are devoted to translations.His writing style, characterized by simplicity, avoids difficult, abstruse words, making him one of the most popular of all modern Chinese writers. <mask> suffered from Parkinson's disease beginning in 1983. The illness confined him to Huadong Hospital in Shanghai from 1998, and left him unable to speak and walk during the last few years of his life. <mask> died of cancer in Shanghai at the age of 100 (101 by Chinese reckoning) in 2005. His death marked the end of an era for Chinese literature, especially since he was the last major writer to live through the May Fourth Movement. He received the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize in 1990.

He represented Tennessee in the United States Senate from 1815 to 1823, when he lost reelection to Andrew Jackson. <mask> also served as colonel of the 39th U.S. Infantry Regiment during the Creek Wars, and played a key role in Jackson's victory at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. <mask> later distanced himself from Jackson, and aligned himself with <mask> and Henry Clay. Adams appointed him chargé d'affaires to the Central American Federation in 1825. Early life
<mask> was born in what is now Forsyth County, North Carolina (then part of Surry County), the third of twelve children of Joseph and <mask>. His father was of Welsh descent, and his mother was descended from French Huguenots.Two of <mask>' brothers, <mask> and <mask>, served as U.S. congressmen in the 19th century. Another brother, Thomas Lanier <mask>, was a prominent Tennessee judge. <mask> was also the cousin of Congressman Marmaduke <mask> . <mask> studied law in Salisbury, North Carolina, in the late 1790s, and served as a captain in the 6th U.S. Infantry, from 1799 to 1800. Shortly afterward, he relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he was admitted to the bar in 1803. Around 1805, he married Melinda White, daughter of Knoxville's founder, James White. In 1807, <mask> was appointed Tennessee's attorney general, and served in this capacity until the following year.In 1811, he led a mass meeting of Knox County citizens that condemned Archibald Roane for resigning from the state legislature to run for circuit court judge.

 local newspaper, <mask> blasted Roane as too selfish and too much of a drunkard to be a faithful judge. Military activities (1812–1815)

In late 1812, at the outbreak of the War of 1812, <mask> raised a small company of some 200 to 250 volunteers, primarily from Tennessee and Georgia, with the intention of invading Florida and attacking the Seminole tribe. <mask> and other leaders on the frontier suspected that Spain would eventually join the British side in the war, and would encourage the Seminoles to attack frontier settlements in southern Georgia. <mask> and his volunteers invaded Florida in early February 1813, and destroyed several Seminole villages, burning over 300 houses, and stealing a large number of horses and other livestock. After reporting that the Seminole country was "completely in waste," <mask> returned to East Tennessee, and his volunteers were mustered out shortly afterward. In June 1813, <mask> was commissioned in the U.S. Army as a colonel, and ordered to recruit and organize the 39th U.S. Infantry for the purpose of engaging the hostile Red Stick Creeks.Within a few weeks, <mask> had managed to recruit and partially equip 600 troops. In early 1814, <mask> and the 39th were placed under the command of Andrew Jackson, who was preparing an expedition against the Red Sticks in Alabama. On March 27, Jackson attacked the Red Stick camp on the Tallapoosa River, initiating the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. At the height of this battle, <mask> and the 39th, which comprised Jackson's main line, charged and captured the log barricade with which the Creeks had fortified the riverbend, forcing the Creeks to flee. In his report on the battle, Jackson commended the actions of <mask> and

 several other officers of the 39th. Soldiers who fought under <mask> at this battle included future Missouri senator Thomas Hart Benton and future Tennessee and Texas governor, Sam Houston. Following the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, <mask> went to Washington, D.C., to raise money for the 39th, and gradually acquired a sizable cache of weapons.Throughout 1814, <mask> and Jackson bickered over these weapons, with Jackson demanding that <mask> give them to a militia company in Tennessee, and <mask> arguing that federal arms could not be distributed to militia companies. Jackson questioned <mask>' loyalty, and <mask> questioned Jackson's authority. United States Senate

In 1815, <mask> was chosen to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the resignation of Jesse Wharton (who had been appointed to the seat a few months earlier following the resignation of George W. Campbell). In 1817, <mask> was reelected to a full six-year term. <mask> voted in favor of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816, opposed the Bonus Bill of 1817, and voted for the Missouri Compromise of 1820. He was also chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, and oversaw a reduction of the armed forces. In 1819, following Jackson's invasion of Florida (then part of Spain), another dispute erupted between <mask> and Jackson.Jackson accused <mask> of spreading a rumor that Jackson had launched the invasion to protect personal land investments in the Pensacola area, and argued that <mask> was assailing his character in private conversations in Washington. In 1821, <mask> was one of just four senators to vote against the Adams–Onís Treaty, in which Spain ceded Florida to the United States. In 1823, <mask> made it clear that he was going

When they were unable to find a candidate with enough support to defeat <mask>, Jackson agreed to become a candidate for <mask>' seat. Though <mask> had the support of the influential Knoxville Register and rising politician Davy Crockett, he lost to Jackson by a margin of 35 votes to 25 at a contentious meeting of the state legislature on October 1, 1823. Later life

After losing his U.S. Senate seat, <mask> ran for Knox County's state senate seat in 1825, but lost to James Anderson by a vote of 982 to 931. President <mask> Adams pondered appointing <mask> Secretary of War, but was dissuaded by Henry Clay, who thought the appointment should go to someone from New York.Adams eventually appointed <mask> chargé d'affaires to the Central American Federation, and <mask> thus spent most of 1826 at this post in Guatemala. In 1827, <mask> again ran for Knox County's state senate seat. In spite of staunch opposition from Jackson's allies (including <mask>' brother-in-law, Hugh Lawson White, who referred to <mask> as a "mean politician who can get no man to lye upon him"), <mask> won the election, 1,585 to 1,216. During his term, he introduced a bill calling for the construction of a turnpike connecting Anderson County and Kentucky, a bill providing relief for female debtors, and legislation seeking greater oversight of the Bank of Tennessee. He retired from the state senate in 1829. <mask> spent his later years practicing law and advocating railroad construction. He rejected several invitations to run for Congress, stating he had no desire to go to

In 1816, <mask> made plans to develop a subdivision, "Williamsburg," on what was then the outskirts of Knoxville (now part of the Downtown area). This subdivision was bounded by what is now Henley Street (which at the time was the city's western boundary), Main Street, the riverfront, and Second Creek. The area is now occupied by Maplehurst Park and the Church Street Methodist Church. In 1826, while <mask> was in Guatemala, his wife oversaw the construction of a new family home in East Knoxville, now known as the Colonel <mask> House.

His maternal uncles included Louis VII of France. In 1194 he succeeded his father as count of Toulouse. He immediately re-established peace with both Alfonso II of Aragon and with the Trencavel family.Marriages
He was married six times:

 On December 11, 1172, to Ermessende of Pelet, Countess of Melgueil. She died in 1176 without issue. In 1178 to Beatrice of Béziers, sister of Roger II Trencavel.

 Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus.They divorced in late 1202, as she had remarried to Thierry of Flanders by early 1203. In January 1204 to Eleanor of Aragon, daughter of King Alfonso II of Aragon and Sancha of Castile. Problems with the Church
<mask> held vast territories but his control of them was problematic. Aside from theoretically owing allegiance to the King of France, <mask> held Provence as a vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor. Henry II of England controlled neighboring Aquitaine through his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, who had a claim to Toulouse through her grandmother, Philippa of Toulouse, daughter of William IV, Count of Toulouse. Alfonso II of Aragon was involved in the affairs of Languedoc, stimulating emigration from the north to colonize newly reconquered lands in Aragon. In Toulouse, <mask> maintained the communal freedoms, extended exemptions from taxation, and extended his protection to the communal territory.A poet and a man of culture, he hated war but did not lack energy. According to Henri Pirenne, "At the end of the 12th century Languedoc was swarming with those mystics who aspired to lead the Church and the age back to apostolic simplicity, condemning both the religious hierarchy and the social order". At first Innocent III tried to deal with the Cathars by peaceful conversion, sending into the affected regions a number of legates or representatives. Count <mask> declined to assist, although constantly embroiled with his vassals, and given the autonomy of the towns, Kenneth Setton questions whether <mask> "could have coped effectively with

Papal legate Pierre de Castelnau was sent to address <mask>'s tolerance for the practice of the Cathars, but withdrew for six months in 1206 out of concerns for his safety. Pierre's assassination on January 15, 1208, led to <mask>'s excommunication.After the capture and massacre of Béziers, the siege and capture of Carcassonne, and the death of <mask> Trencavel, all in 1209, he moved his camp, was again excommunicated by the Council of Montpellier in 1211, and tried to organize resistance against the Albigensian Crusade. More of a diplomat than a soldier, he was unable to stop the advance of Simon de Montfort, who conquered Toulouse. Following Battle of Muret, <mask> was exiled to England under his former brother-in-law John, King of England. In November 1215, <mask> and his son (the later <mask>, Count of Toulouse) were in Rome with <mask>, Count of Foix on the occasion of the Fourth Lateran Council to vindicate themselves and dispute the loss of their territories. <mask>'s son-in-law, Pierre-Bermond II of Sauve, was also there to lay claim to the county of Toulouse, but this claim failed. <mask> and his son went from Rome to Genoa and thence to Marseille in February 1216. <mask>'s son set out from Marseille to regain the family territories in Provence; in May 1216 he besieged Beaucaire and captured it on August 24.Meanwhile, <mask> went to Aragon, hoping to rally support. From there he engaged

 in secret negotiations with leaders in Toulouse during 1216. Simon de Montfort possibly believed that <mask> was on his way to the city in September 1216; at any rate he returned in great haste from Beaucaire and conducted a partial sack of the city, apparently intended as punishment. Finally, on September 12, 1217, <mask> re-entered Toulouse again. Simon de Montfort immediately besieged the city once more. Simon was killed during the siege (25 June 25, 1218); his son Amaury VI of Montfort took his place, and for five years the Crusade faltered. The failure of Louis VIII's campaigns, from 1219 to 1226, finally permitted <mask>, and his son and successor, to recover most of their territories.<mask> is represented as one of four figures on the ceiling of the Minnesota Supreme Court in the United States.

On February 10, 1952, <mask> became famous in China due to the death American ace Major George Andrew Davis, Jr., and he is credited by the Chinese for shooting down the American ace until Russian sources disputed his claim 40 years later with different theories lie in who and how the Chinese and Russian fighter pilots may have engaged the American fighter pilots. <mask> claimed a total of four victories during his service in Korea, and he was awarded the title Combat Hero, 1st Class during his service. After the Korean War, <mask> had held various commands and became the Deputy Commander of PLAAF in 1973.

He was among the first group of pilots trained for the fledgling People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). In 1950, <mask> became a group leader at the 4th Aviation Division. Combat in Korea
When the PLAAF officially entered the air war over Korea in September 1951, <mask>'s 4th Aviation Division was the first PLAAF unit sent into combat, and it was under the command of the Soviet 64th Aviation Corps. The 4th Aviation Division was stationed at Langtou Airfield in Liaoning Province, and it was composed of 55 MiG-15s. <mask> first entered two aerial engagements with no victory, but he soon claimed his first victory on October 16, 1951. While intercepting an UN flight on October 16, <mask> claimed to shoot down one aircraft while forcing a F-86 Sabre to crash.For this action he was awarded the Meritorious Service, 1st Class. On February 4, 1952, <mask> claimed his third victory against a F-86 and received the Meritorious Service, 2nd Class. Death of Major Davis
On February 10, 1952, US F-86 Sabre ace Major George Andrew Davis, Jr. was shot down by a MiG-15 during his 16th mission in the MiG Alley near Kunu-ri. Davis was the highest ranking Korean War ace at the time, and he was posthumously celebrated as a hero and received the Medal of Honor. About 36 MiG-15s from the 4th Aviation Division were involved in the engagement in which Davis was killed, and <mask> was among the group. According to <mask>'s own report after the battle, while the MiGs were en route to intercept Davis' group, he and his wingman became separated from the main element. As <mask> was trying to rejoin his formation, he spotted a group of eight F-86s in the

The publicity of Davis' death soon caught the Chinese attention. To determine whether Davis was killed by <mask> in the absence of gun camera footage, the 4th Aviation Division had sent two search teams on February 16 and 18, and they recovered a wreckage of F-86E, along with Davis' body and his belongings. The search team had also discovered that the crash site was within  to where <mask> had bailed out, and that <mask>'s 12th Regiment was the only unit that operated near the area; the nearest Soviet unit was operating dozens of kilometers away. In light of those findings and the testimonies from the ground troops that had witnessed the battle, <mask> was credited by the PVA air force for shooting down Davis' F-86. Davis' dog tag is currently on display at the Memorial of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in Dandong.Although <mask> was credited by the PLAAF for shooting down Davis' F-86, doubts about the claim were raised due to US Air Force's recollection of the event was inconsistent with <mask>'s own account of the battle, and that Davis had claimed to have shot down two Chinese MiGs moments before being killed. The lack of gun camera footage from Chinese side meant <mask>'s victory claim also hinged on his own recollection of the event. After declassifying their involvement in the Korean War 40 years later, Russian sources disputed <mask>'s claim by raising the possibility that 1st Lieutenant Mikhail Akimovich Averin was the MiG pilot that had shot down Davis' plane. According to the

 recollections from the pilots of the Soviet 64th Aviation Corps, both <mask> and his wingman were probably shot down by Davis, who was in turn surprised and shot down by Mikhail A. Averin scrambling to save the Chinese MiGs. Lieutenant General Georgy Lobov, commander of the 64th Aviation Corps, also noted in his memoir that Davis was killed by a Soviet pilot. Currently, both China and Russia have taken credit over Davis' death with no conclusive evidence to confirm either sides of the story. Regardless of the controversy surrounding Davis' death, <mask> became a household name in China.The PLAAF later awarded <mask> with the title Combat Hero, 1st Class for this action. According to official records, <mask> had participated in 10 aerial engagements with a total of four victories during his service in Korea, and for his service <mask> received the Meritorious Service, Special Class. The North Korean government also awarded <mask> with the Freedom and Independence Medal, 2nd Class. Later life
Immediately after the war, <mask> was sent to study at the Red Banner Air Force Academy in the Soviet Union, and returned to China in 1957 after graduation. He steadily climbed the ranks by assuming the command of the 27th Aviation Division in 1964, and later took command of the 1st Aviation Corps in 1970. In 1973, he was named the Deputy Commander of the PLAAF. In July 1978, <mask> was stripped of his ranks and imprisoned, but after his release in 1980, he became the Deputy Mayor of Yantai.In July 1990, the PLA Central Military Commission restored <mask>'s position and allowed him to retire with a state pension.

In 887, a mutiny by the Huainan officer Bi Shiduo against Gao Pian and Gao's favorite sorcerer Lü Yongzhi triggered an internecine war that had Bi, Lü, Yang Xingmi, and Qin Yan contending for the control of Huainan, which eventually was taken by Sun Ru. Yang, in turn, advanced south and took Ningguo Circuit (寧國, headquartered in modern Xuancheng, Anhui) and became its military governor.In 891, Sun took his army and advanced south, intending to destroy Yang. In an initial confrontation, <mask>fu surprised Sun's advance troops and defeated them. Later in the year, Yang also sent <mask> to attack He (和州, in modern Chaohu, Anhui) and Chu (滁洲, in modern Chuzhou, Anhui) Prefectures, defeating the Sun-commissioned prefects Kang Wang () and An Jingsi (); Kang surrendered, and An fled. By spring 892, however, with Sun's much larger army approaching Ningguo's capital Xuan Prefecture (), Yang considered abandoning Xuan Prefecture and fleeing, but did not do so after <mask> and <mask> () advised against it. Yang thereafter was able to bog Sun's attack down, and defeated and killed Sun in a decisive battle in fall 892. Campaigns against Cai Chou
After Sun Ru's defeat, Cai Chou (), whom Yang Xingmi had previously made the prefect of Lu but who then surrendered to Sun when Sun attacked, tried to submit to Zhu Quanzhong the military governor of Xuanwu Circuit (宣武, headquartered in modern Kaifeng, Henan). Zhu, however, considered Cai unreliable and refused to launch an army to aid Cai, and instead informed what Cai was doing to Yang.Yang thereafter sent <mask> to attack Cai. Later, Tian Jun and Yang himself also joined <mask>'s siege of Lu Prefecture.

 In fall 893, the city fell, and Yang executed Cai. Subsequently, Cai's ally Ni Zhang () the prefect of Shu Prefecture fled. Yang thus made <mask> the prefect of Shu. Campaigns against Qian <mask>
In fall 901, Yang received a (false) report that Qian <mask> the military governor of Zhenhai (鎮海, headquartered in modern Hangzhou, Zhejiang) and Zhendong (鎮東, headquartered in modern Shaoxing, Zhejiang) Circuits had been assassinated. He thus sent <mask> to try to take Zhenhai's capital Hang Prefecture () in (what he thought to be) the confusion of Qian's death.Qian sent the general Gu Quanwu () to resist him. They stalemated for some time. <mask> then allowed captives from Gu's army to overhear a conversation in which he stated that he was going to retreat that night due to the length of the stalemate, and then allowed the captives to flee. He then began what appeared to be a withdraw, but had his subordinate Lü Shizao () lay a trap for Gu. Gu, who did not respect <mask>, gave chase, and fell into the trap that <mask> and Lü had set. <mask> soundly defeated Gu's army and captured him. <mask> then attacked Lin'an (臨安, in modern Hangzhou, Qian's hometown), but could not capture it quickly.By this point, he had found out that Qian had not died, and so wanted to withdraw, but he feared that Qian would give chase. He therefore carefully protected the tombs of Qian's ancestors and allowed Gu, whom Qian valued greatly, to write letters to report that he was safe. Qian sent an emissary to thank <mask>. When <mask> pretended to have received a large reinforcement from Huainan, Qian sued for peace and sent gifts. <mask>, after receiving Qian's gifts, withdrew. In 902, Yang made <mask> the

 prefect of Sheng Prefecture (昇州, in modern Nanjing, Jiangsu). Campaigns against Du Hong
In spring 903, Yang Xingmi made <mask>fu the commander (行軍司馬, Xingjun Sima) of the Huainan army and put him in command of an army to attack Du Hong the military governor of Wuchang Circuit (武昌, headquartered in modern Wuhan, Hubei), with <mask> () serving as his deputy.He quickly captured Yongxing (永興, in modern Huanggang, Hubei), cutting off the food supplies for Wuchang. He then put Wuchang's capital E Prefecture () under siege. Du sought aid from Zhu Quanzhong, but at that time, Zhu was only able to send a small detachment commanded by Han Qing (), who could not lift the siege. Zhu thereafter made requests to Cheng Rui the military governor of Jingnan Circuit (荊南, headquartered in modern Jingzhou, Hubei), Ma Yin the military governor of Wu'an Circuit (武安, headquartered in modern Changsha, Hunan), and Lei Yanwei the military governor of Wuzhen Circuit (武貞, headquartered in modern Changde, Hunan), asking them to save Du. Only Cheng launched a fleet to try to save Du, though. Further, as soon as Cheng left his capital Jiangling, Ma's officer Xu Dexun and Lei's officer Ouyang Si () rendezvoused and jointly attacked Jiangling, sacking it and taking its population and treasures before withdrawing. When the news arrived at Cheng's fleet, Cheng's soldiers' morale was destroyed.<mask> subsequently crushed him, and he committed suicide by drowning. When Han heard of Cheng's death, he also withdrew, leaving Du with no aid. Campaigns against Tian Jun
However, another event would (for the time being) save Du. Tian Jun, who was the military governor of Ningguo at the time under Yang, had long wanted to

 expand his territory but was repeatedly curbed in that ambition by Yang, and therefore began to resent Yang. <mask>, seeing this, had warned Yang about Tian and urged Yang to react preemptively, but Yang refused, pointing out that Tian had great contributions and that acting against him first would destroy the army morale. In fall 903, Tian and An Renyi () the military prefect of Run Prefecture (潤州, in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) rose against Yang. In light of Tian's rebellion, Yang ordered <mask> to withdraw from Wuchang and attack Ningguo.Fearing that Du would attack him from the rear, <mask> announced to his soldiers that he was heading west to seize Jingnan, and only after he was out of E Prefecture's vicinity did he inform the soldiers of Tian's rebellion and their actual mission. Meanwhile, Tian had launched a surprise attack on Sheng Prefecture and taken <mask>'s wife and children. He initially treated them well, and he sent an emissary to <mask>, stating, "If you, Lord, take this opportunity properly, I will divide the lands with you so that we can both be princes. If not, your wife and children will not survive." <mask> stated to his army,

<mask> executed Tian's emissary and continued to advance toward Ningguo, encountering Tian's officers Wang Tan () and Wang Jian () at Jiyang Banks (吉陽磯, in modern Chizhou, Anhui). When Wang Tan and Wang Jian displayed <mask>'s son <mask>ding () on the battlefield, <mask> ordered his soldiers to fire arrows anyway. He thereafter engaged Wang Tan and Wang Jian and pretended to suffer initial losses.He then pretended to retreat, inducing Wang Tan and Wang Jian to chase him, and then counterattacked, inflicting heavy losses on them.
