Sun Ru
By summer 889, Xuan Prefecture was so desperate for food under Yang's siege that people had resorted to cannibalism. Zhao's officer Zhou Jinsi (周進思) then expelled Zhao. Zhao tried to flee to Yang Prefecture to join Sun Ru, but was captured in flight by Yang Xingmi's officer Tian Jun. Subsequently, Zhou himself was arrested by other officers, who surrendered Xuan Prefecture to Yang.
