秦宗權
Lu next attacked Xiang Prefecture, in conjunction with Qin Gao () and Zhao Deyin, who were officers of the warlord Qin Zongquan the military governor of Fengguo Circuit (奉國, headquartered in modern Zhumadian, Henan). They captured Xiang, forcing Liu Jurong () the military governor of Shannan East Circuit (山南東道, headquartered at Xiang Prefecture) to flee to Chengdu and allowing Zhao to take over Shannan East Circuit. Lu then pillaged Xiang, Deng, Jun (均州, in modern Shiyan, Hubei), Fang (房州, in modern Shiyan), Lu (廬州, in modern Hefei, Anhui), and Shou (壽州, in modern Lu'an, Anhui) Prefectures, before heading for Xu Prefecture. Zhou Ji, upon hearing that Lu was approaching Xu, abandoned Xu and fled. Lu then took Xu and claimed the title of acting military governor of Zhongwu. The imperial government, unable to attack him, named him military governor. He remained in control until fall 886, when Qin Zongquan, who had by that point claimed imperial title, attacked him and killed him, taking over Zhongwu Circuit.
