Fan Yanguang
It was said that because Shi took imperial title with Khitan aid, he himself was humiliated and therefore did not dare to act against various warlords. In addition, among the warlords themselves, some were fearful of Shi, and some believed that they, like Shi, could launch successful rebellions. After Fan Yanguang rebelled in 937, Wang Hui (), an officer at Anyuan Circuit (安遠, headquartered in modern Xiaogan, Hubei), assassinated Anyuan's military governor Zhou Gui (), intending to support Fan's rebellion. When Shi subsequently sent the general Li Anquan () against Wang, Wang pillaged Anyuan's capital An Prefecture () and prepared to flee to Wu. An Congjin sent his officer Zhang Fei () to try to intercept Wang, but Wang was then killed by his own subordinate Hu Jin (). (The Later Jin troops subsequently put Fan under siege, and after the siege was prolonged with both sides worn out, Shi accepted Fan's surrender.)
