Li Kuangchou
Li Kuangchou (李匡籌) (died January 25, 895?〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 259.〕〔(Academia Sinica Chinese-Western Calendar Converter ).〕〔January 25, 895 was the date when Li Kuangchou abandoned his own territory and tried to flee to the territory of Lu Yanwei the military governor of Yichang Circuit; Lu, however, then ambushed and killed him. It is therefore not completely clear whether Li Kuangchou's death occurred on January 25 or shortly after.〕) was a warlord late in the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty, ruling Lulong Circuit (盧龍, headquartered in modern Beijing) from 893, when he overthrew his older brother Li Kuangwei, to his own defeat in late 894/early 895, as its military governor (''Jiedushi'').
== Background and takeover of Lulong Circuit ==
It is not known when Li Kuangchou was born, but it is known that his family was from Lulong Circuit's capital Fanyang.〔''Old Book of Tang'', vol. 180.〕 His father Li Quanzhong had overthrown then-military governor of Lulong, Li Keju, in 885 and taken over as military governor; after Li Quanzhong's death in 886, Li Kuangchou's older brother Li Kuangwei took over the circuit〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 256.〕 and was then made military governor.〔''New Book of Tang'', vol. 212.〕
Not much is known about Li Kuangchou's activities during Li Kuangwei's governance, but it is known that he married a Lady Zhang, who was said to be of extremely rare beauty.〔 In 893, as Li Keyong the military governor of Hedong Circuit (河東, headquartered in modern Taiyuan, Shanxi) was attacking Li Kuangwei's ally Wang Rong the military governor of Chengde Circuit (成德, headquartered in modern Shijiazhuang, Hebei), Li Kuangwei prepared to lead his army to aid Wang. At a feast that family members held for him to send him off, Li Kuangwei, while drunk, raped Lady Zhang,〔 causing resentment by Li Kuangchou.〔 As Li Kuangwei's army was returning from Chengde after being successful in forcing Li Keyong's withdrawal, Li Kuangchou took over the circuit headquarters, claimed the title of acting military governor, and issued orders for soldiers to report back to the headquarters. Li Kuangwei's soldiers largely abandoned him and fled to Li Kuangchou, allowing Li Kuangchou to take over without further military action by Li Kuangwei. (Li Kuangwei then remarked that Li Kuangchou lacked talent and, while he was not mourning because the control of the circuit remained in the family, he would be surprised if Li Kuangchou could hold on to the circuit for even two years.)〔
Subsequently, Wang welcomed Li Kuangwei to Chengde Circuit and, out of gratitude, honored him like a father〔 (as Wang was himself only 19 years old〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', vol. 255.〕), but Li Kuangwei then tried to seize the circuit from Wang, and was killed by soldiers loyal to Wang. Hearing of Li Kuangwei's death, Li Kuangchou submitted a petition to then-reigning Emperor Zhaozong, requesting permission to attack Chengde to avenge Li Kuangwei; Emperor Zhaozong refused to grant such permission. Meanwhile, the officer Liu Rengong, whose soldiers had long been stationed at Wei Prefecture (蔚州, in modern Zhangjiakou, Hebei) and who had wanted to return to You Prefecture (幽州, i.e., Fanyang), led his soldiers to attack Li Kuangchou. Li Kuangchou's army, however, defeated Liu's at Juyong Pass, and Liu fled to Li Keyong's Hedong Circuit. Later in the year, even without Emperor Zhaozong's authorization, Li Kuangchou attacked Chengde cities Leshou (樂壽, in modern Cangzhou, Hebei) and Wuqiang (武強, in modern Hengshui, Hebei), ostensibly to avenge Li Kuangwei. In spring 894, Emperor Zhaozong officially commissioned him as military governor.〔
