Yang Shouliang
Yang Shouliang (楊守亮) (d. 892), né
Zi Liang (訾亮), was a warlord late in the
Chinese Tang dynasty, who controlled Shannan West Circuit (山南西道, headquartered in modern
Hanzhong,
Shaanxi) from 887 to 892. He was initially an agrarian rebel under
Wang Xianzhi, but later came to serve under the imperial
eunuch general
Yang Fuguang, becoming Yang Fuguang's adoptive son. He was gradually promoted in the imperial guard ranks, and was eventually made the military governor (''
jiedushi'') of Shannan West by
Emperor Xizong. After his adoptive uncle
Yang Fugong broke with Emperor Xizong's brother and successor
Emperor Zhaozong in 891, however, Yang Shouliang followed Yang Fugong's lead and resisted the imperial government. He was subsequently defeated by the warlord
Li Maozhen the military governor of Fengxiang Circuit (鳳翔, headquartered in modern
