At the End of the Five Dynasties, from a Traitorous Bandit to a Famous Imperial Minister

In 947 AD, the Khitans destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty, and one hundred thousand Khitan soldiers raided the grasslands and valleys in the Central Plains. Orion Lin Zhang counterattacked and killed the Khitan soldiers who were harvesting grass in the village, which attracted the retaliation of dozens of Khitan soldiers on horseback. Fortunately, Fuyang thief commander Liang Hui led the crowd to rescue him and saved him from death. Liang Hui saw Lin Zhang's skill and enlisted Lin Zhang to join his group. Liang Hui defected to Liu Zhiyuan in Jinyang, attacked Xiangzhou at night, and named himself Xiangzhou Liuqian. Yelv Deguang led his army back to Youzhou from the north of Bianliang. When he learned that Liang Hui had occupied Xiangzhou, he surrendered and refused to open the city gate. He was furious and wanted to massacre the city to establish his authority. Kindness and personal love have a limit, and common people's righteousness is boundless. After Lin Zhang persuaded Liang Hui three times, he had no choice but to kill Liang Hui and offer his head to the Khitan Lord. There were tens of thousands of people living in Xiangzhou, and Lin Zhang refused the Khitan Lord's offer of officialdom. After that, step by step, he counterattacked to become the Prime Minister of the Dasheng Empire. ... Assisting Guo Rong, he conquered the north and south, unified China, and established a powerful empire whose territory far exceeded the height of the Tang Dynasty.
