Yang Guanghui's execution.
Yang Guanghui (楊光翽; died 755) was a Tang official who served as mayor of Taiyuan and vice regent of Hedong (河東副留守). He was an ally of Golden Turtles leader Yang Guozhong and complicit in his many crimes according to Guozhong's archnemesis An Lushan,[1] who had been a Golden Turtle himself.[2]
At the outbreak of Lushan's rebellion in 755, Guanghui was captured by An Lushan's Yeluohe forces. Tortured to near death, he was tied to a flagpole and brought before the gates of Changshan's capital when the Yeluohe marched into that commandery. When Grand Protector Yan Gaoqing of Changshan left the safety of the city to meet with An Lushan personally, Lushan had his men execute Guanghui with a barrage of arrows in a display of intimidation.[1]
