Tian Jun
Tian Jun thus considered rebelling against Yang Xingmi, and he reached agreements with An Renyi and Yang's brother-in-law Zhu Yanshou, who then carried the title of military governor of Fengguo and was stationed at Shou Prefecture, to rise against Yang together. However, Tian's plans were hastened when Yang promoted Kang Ru to be the prefect of Lu Prefecture — which led Tian to believe that Kang had betrayed him and therefore slaughter Kang and his whole family. He then rose simultaneously with An. (Zhu was initially set to rise against Yang as well, but Yang, realizing that Zhu was in contact with Tian and An, instead, pretending to his wife (Zhu's sister) Lady Zhu that he was going blind and was ready to entrust Huainan to Zhu, summoned Zhu back to Yang Prefecture. Zhu believed in the order after Lady Zhu confirmed it, and therefore went to Yang Prefecture, where Yang executed him and his brothers and then divorced Lady Zhu.) He also sent messengers to Zhu Quanzhong, offering to be a vassal; Zhu Quanzhong was pleased, and dispatched an army to Su Prefecture (宿州, in modern Suzhou, Anhui) to prepare to aid Tian.
