Xu Wen
In 915, apparently in preparation for himself to be stationed outside Guangling, Xu Wen made Xu Zhixun, who was then a guard commander for the headquarters of Wu's prince Yang Longyan, the deputy commander of the Huainan Circuit (淮南, headquartered at Guangling) armed forces. Later in the year, Xu Wen left Guangling to take up a defense post at Run Prefecture (潤州, in modern Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), leaving Xu Zhixun at Guangling to govern affairs of the state, with he himself only ruling on important matters.
