[1][2][3]) was a ruler of Qian Prefecture (虔州, in modern Ganzhou, Jiangxi) from 913 to 918, early in the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
He first captured Shao Prefecture (韶州, in modern Shaoguan, Guangdong), and he had his son Lu Yanchang take control of it.
Tan Quanbo laid an ambush for the Qinghai troops and defeated them, allowing Lu Guangchou to retain Shao.
Subsequently, both Wu's prince Yang Longyan and Later Liang's Emperor Taizu confirmed the succession.
He was assassinated by his officer Li Qiu, who took over Qian Prefecture and who also considered killing Tan Quanbo.
Tan thereafter submitted to Later Liang, and Later Liang's Emperor Taizu made him the defender of Baisheng Circuit (a title that Lu Guangchou also carried) and the military governor (Jiedushi) of Qian and Shao (even though the control of Shao had been lost by that point).
This attack came as a surprise to the people of Qian, as Wu's strategist Yan Keqiu had spent large amount of funds to employ engineers to open up the waterway through Ganshi (贛石, in modern Ji'an),[2] which was difficult to navigate, to allow the Wu ships through.
The Wu forces then suffered through plagues, which killed many soldiers, including Wang, who was then replaced by Liu Xin (劉信).
In response, Wuyue's prince Qian Liu sent his son Qian Chuanqiu (錢傳球) to attack Wu's Xin Prefecture (信州, in modern Shangrao, Jiangxi); Chu's prince Ma Yin sent his officer Zhang Keqiu (張可求) to advance to Guting (古亭, in modern Ganzhou); and Min's prince Wang Shenzhi sent an army to advance to Yudu (雩都, in modern Ganzhou), all seeking to aid Tan.
When the Wuyue and Min forces heard that the Chu army had been repelled, they withdrew, leaving Tan without external aid.
