李金全 Li Jinquan

金全少為唐明宗廝養，以驍勇善騎射，常從明宗戰伐，以功為刺史。 In youth Jinquan was a servant in Mingzong’s household. Bold in the saddle and with the bow, he rode on Mingzong’s campaigns and rose to prefect by merit.

金全慚不能對。 Jinquan flushed and had no answer.

晉高祖時，安州屯防指揮使王暉殺節度使周瑰，高祖遣金全將騎兵千人以往，下詔書招暉曰：「暉降，以為唐州刺史。」 Under Jin Gaozu, Wang Hui of Anzhou’s garrison command killed Commissioner Zhou Gui. Gaozu sent Jinquan with a thousand horse and issued an edict: “If Hui yields, make him prefect of Tang.”

又以信箭諭安州，不戮一人，且戒金全曰：「無失吾信。」 He sent a trust-arrow to Anzhou pledging not a single life, and charged Jinquan: “Do not break my word.”

金全未至，襄州安從進意暉必走江南，以精兵遮其要路。 Jinquan had not yet arrived when An Congjin of Xiang judged Hui would flee south and sent crack troops to cut the roads.

暉聞金全來，果南走，為從進兵所殺。 Hui heard Jinquan was near, fled south as expected, and Congjin’s men killed him.

金全後至，得暉餘黨數百人，皆送京師。 Jinquan came after, seized several hundred of Hui’s remnant band, and sent them to the capital.

暉之亂也，大掠城中三日，金全利其所掠貲，因擒其將武克和等十餘人殺之，克和呼曰：「王暉首亂，猶賜之信誓，以為刺史； Hui’s revolt had let the city be plundered three days. Jinquan coveted the spoil, seized generals such as Wu Kehe—more than ten—and killed them. Kehe shouted: “Wang Hui led the mutiny yet won a sworn pledge and a prefecture;

即以金全為安遠軍節度使。 Jinquan was at once made commissioner of Anyuan.

金全左都押衙明漢榮用事，所為不法，高祖患之，不欲因漢榮以累功臣，為選廉吏賈仁沼代之，且召漢榮。 Jinquan’s Left Commandant Ming Hanrong held real power and broke the law. Gaozu resented it but would not ruin a meritorious man on Hanrong’s account; he chose the upright Jia Renzhao to replace him and summoned Hanrong as well.

漢榮教金全留己而不遣，金全客龐令圖諫曰：「仁沼昔事王晏球，晏球攻王都於中山，都遣善射者登城射晏球，中兜牟，仁沼從後引弓，射善射者，一發而斃，晏球求其人，欲厚賞之，仁沼退而不言，此天下之忠臣也。 Hanrong taught Jinquan to detain him and refuse the summons. Client Pang Lingtu urged: “Renzhao once served Wang Yanqiu. When Yanqiu besieged Wang Du at Zhongshan, Du put a crack bowman on the wall who struck Yanqiu’s helmet. Renzhao drew from behind, one arrow, and the bowman fell. Yanqiu hunted for the man to reward him; Renzhao stayed silent—that is loyalty under heaven.
