Wang Xu forced the men of Guang Prefecture to join his army, and he made Wang Chao, who had previously been a government worker at the Gushi County government, his discipline officer.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ254_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ254-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later on, however, Qin turned against the Tang imperial government and was on the cusp of claiming imperial title himself. He ordered Wang Xu to pay taxes to him. When Wang Xu was unable to do so, he launched an army to attack Wang. Wang Xu, in fear, gathered 5,000 soldiers from Guang and Shou Prefectures and forced the people to cross the <a href="/wiki/Yangtze_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Yangtze River">Yangtze River</a> to the south. By spring 885, Wang had continued south and captured Ting (汀州, in modern <a href="/wiki/Longyan" title="Longyan">Longyan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>) and Zhang (漳州, in modern <a href="/wiki/Zhangzhou" title="Zhangzhou">Zhangzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>) Prefectures, but was not able to hold either for long. By the time that Wang Xu reached Zhang Prefecture, his army was running low on food. As the terrain in Fujian Circuit (福建, headquartered in modern <a href="/wiki/Fuzhou" title="Fuzhou">Fuzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>), which Zhang Prefecture belonged to, was rugged, he ordered that the old and the weak be abandoned. However, in violation of his order, Wang Chao and his brothers continued to take their mother Lady Dong with them. Wang Xu rebuked them and threatened to put Lady Dong to death. They begged for Lady Dong's life, offering to die in her stead. Other officers also spoke on their behalf, and Wang Xu relented.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ256_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ256-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Meanwhile, by this point, Wang Xu had also become extremely paranoid, as he had been warned by a sorcerer that there was <i><a href="/wiki/Qi" title="Qi">qi</a></i> belonging to a king in his army, so he began to put to death anyone whom he considered to have talents surpassing his own—going as far as putting Liu Xingquan to death. The fact that Wang was willing to put someone as close to him as Liu to death terrified the other officers. When the army reached Na'an (南安, in modern <a href="/wiki/Quanzhou" title="Quanzhou">Quanzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>), Wang Chao persuaded Wang Xu's forward commander, who feared that he would be Wang Xu's next target, into turning against Wang Xu. The forward commander and Wang Chao thus laid an ambush for Wang Xu and, when he was caught off-guard, arrested him. Wang Chao initially wanted to support the forward commander to be the new leader, but the forward commander pointed out that it was Wang Chao's idea that allowed them to survive Wang Xu's cruelty, and so the army agreed to have Wang Chao become their leader. Wang Chao subsequently took over Quan Prefecture (泉州, in modern <a href="/wiki/Quanzhou" title="Quanzhou">Quanzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>) and obtained a commission from <a href="/wiki/Chen_Yan_(Tang_Dynasty)" class="mw-redirect" title="Chen Yan (Tang Dynasty)">Chen Yan</a> the governor (觀察使, <i>Guanchashi</i>) of Fujian Circuit (福建道, headquartered in modern <a href="/wiki/Fuzhou" title="Fuzhou">Fuzhou</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fujian" title="Fujian">Fujian</a>) as the prefect of Quan Prefecture.<sup id="cite_ref-ZZTJ256_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ZZTJ256-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Service_under_Wang_Chao">Service under Wang Chao</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wang_Shenzhi&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Service under Wang Chao"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 891, Chen Yan grew deathly ill.
