Yang Shili
Yang Shili (楊師立) (d. June 29, 884?) was a general of the
Chinese Tang dynasty, who came to control Dongchuan Circuit (東川, headquartered in modern
Mianyang,
Sichuan) as its military governor (''
jiedushi'') due to his association with the powerful eunuch
Tian Lingzi. He later had a fall out with Tian and Tian's brother
Chen Jingxuan, however, and in a subsequent military confrontation, Chen's forces, under the command of
Gao Renhou, defeated his. When his own army turned against him in light of its defeat, he committed suicide.
