"Uncle General" Feng Xiu's backbone

There are always different generals in China, and they often have their own nicknames, such as "Ever Winning General", "Mighty General" and "Flying General" ... but one of them is called "General Dashu". He is Feng Yi, one of the "28 generals of Yuntai" under Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It turns out that there were 28 founding generals who followed Liu Xiu in those years, the so-called "twenty-eight generals of Yuntai". During the war, generals often get together to chat, and the topic is nothing more than self-reported military exploits and nonsense. Feng Yi always hides under a big tree when he wants to compete for merit in public. Therefore, the soldiers nicknamed him "General Dashu".

An eye for light and martial arts

Feng Gongsun was born in Yingchuan Father City (now Baofeng East, Henan Province), and his date of birth is unknown. History shows that he likes reading and is proficient in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and Sun Tzu's Art of War. Among the "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai", Feng Yi and Liu Xiu met earlier.

In the last years of Wang Mang's new dynasty, there was a lot of chaos. The anti-mang armed forces * * * acclaimed the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty as emperor, and established the Yuan Dynasty to change the dynasty, which was the first emperor of the Han Dynasty. Feng Yi now supervises five counties for follwed as a county magistrate, and is guarding the county with his father, Miao Meng.

Liu Xiufeng was ordered to turn over a new leaf to attack his father's city, but he was stubbornly resisted by Feng Yi and Miao Meng, so he had to retreat and take a towel cart. In the evening, Liu Xiu's men caught a man traveling incognito and thought he was a spy and was about to kill him. When Liu Xiu heard about it, he personally interrogated him. Ask just know, originally is Feng Yi came out to inspect the county seat. When Feng Yi saw Liu Xiu, he was immediately moved by Liu Xiu's demeanor and manner, saying that his old mother was still in town. If she is returned to the city, she is willing to dedicate her five cities to repay the kindness of humanity. Heroes appreciate each other. Liu Xiu also gave Feng Yi great trust and immediately let him go back to his father's city.

When Feng Yi returned home, he said to Miao Meng, "There are many brave men fighting now, but there are also many people who are tyrannical and arrogant. Only General Liu didn't plunder, and Qiu didn't commit a crime. I don't think his manners are ordinary people, and we can rely on him to make contributions. "

Since then, Liu Xiuhui reported to me that there were more than ten people before and after Qin Shihuang sent other generals to attack the father city, but Feng Yi persisted. A little while later, Liu Xiu led the troops through the father city, and Feng Yi opened the door to meet them, offering niujiu. Liu Xiu was very happy and immediately appointed Feng Yi as the main book, and Miao Meng was engaged in it. Since then, Feng Yi has become an important counselor and right-hand man of Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was not particularly prominent among people below Geng Shi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but when Feng Yi saw Liu Xiu, he decided that Liu Xiu was "not a mediocre person, but could go home", with unique vision and accurate judgment.

Tackle change resourcefully.

Feng Yi is Liu Xiu's first master book, which is equivalent to the current secretary-general. Don't underestimate the position of principal, it is the official position that is most closely related to the leader. In addition to Feng Yi's own talents, Liu Xiu asked Feng Yi to be the main book, which also reflected Liu Xiu's trust in Feng Yi and included him in the confidant range early.

As the saying goes, "everything must be calm." Among Liu Xiu's generals, Feng Yi always kept a cool head and won Liu Xiu's appreciation. And Feng Yi didn't live up to Liu Xiu's high hopes. In Liu Xiu's pioneering process, all the most important three-step moves were completed with the help of Yi Feng.

The first step is to keep a low profile. In June of the fourth year of the Yellow Emperor (AD 23), Liu Xiu's younger brother was killed by the furious emperor. In ancient times, when a person was guilty and the whole family was implicated, it was reasonable for Liu Xiu to be suspected by the original emperor. Liu Xiu knew the situation was sinister, so she could only hold back her grief and try to smile. At that time, Liu Xiu's ministries, You Zhu and Cang Gong, all wanted to kill the fresh emperor. Feng Yi was the only one who comforted Liu Xiu and said, "Today, the general who started again was tyrannical and plundered, and the people were disappointed and had no clothes to wear. Today's public life is benevolent. The rebellion of the husband is due to the work of Tang Wu; People who have been hungry for a long time are easy to fill their stomachs. Appropriate urgent sent officials, favoring this county, injustice knot, cloth Hui Ze "("were? The biography of Feng Yi). This sentence not only pointed out the correct way for Liu Xiu to protect himself, but also enabled Liu Xiu to stand on his own feet and set up an imperial industry, which was as great as Han Xin's Hanzhong confrontation and Zhuge Liang's Longzhong confrontation.

The second step is to visit Hebei. Qin Shihuang tried to send Liu Xiu to inspect Hebei several times, but the ministers didn't agree. At that time, Cao was actually the left prime minister, and his son was appointed as Shangshu. His father and son were fortunate enough to serve in the dynasty. Feng Yi suggested that Liu Xiu befriend them. Due to the urging of Cao Shi and his son, Emperor De novo ordered Liu Xiu to cross the river on a festival to appease the counties in Hebei. As soon as Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, he sent Feng Yi and Yan Qi to follow. Wherever Feng Yi and others went, they released prisoners and widows, got to know local officials in Hebei one by one, secretly inspected whether they were willing to join, and then reported the list to Liu Xiu. Counties in Hebei eventually became Liu Xiu's base areas.

The third step is to add a yellow robe. In AD 25, Liu Xiu had many territories in his hand, and the generals urged him to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Liu Xiu didn't know, so he said to Feng Yi, "Last night, I dreamed that I went to heaven by a red dragon. When I woke up, I was very scared. " Hearing this, Feng Yi quickly bowed down and said, "This is the inspiration of fate. I place my dream on your majesty. The king is afraid because he has always been cautious. " Liu Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, so she acceded to the throne in (now Baixiang, Hebei Province) and rebuilt Wu.

Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.

Interestingly, Feng Yi, as a famous man with great wisdom and courage, was praised by later generations as "two meals and two idioms".

When Liu Xiuchu first arrived in Hebei, Hebei had almost fallen into the hands of others. When Liu Xiu went to the north, he was wanted and ran all the way, hungry and cold. One day, they came to Wuhu Pavilion in Raoyang, Hebei Province. The weather was cold and the north wind was cold. Feng Yi went to a nearby village to beg for food and made a bowl of bean porridge for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu drank it in one breath and felt very sweet. The next day, Liu Xiu was still tasting pea porridge.

When we reached the Hutuo River, we were caught in a storm. Fortunately, there were several rooms by the river, so the group went in to take shelter from the rain. There is a stove in the house, so Feng Yi brought firewood, and Deng Yusheng made a good stove for Liu Xiu to dry wet clothes on fire. In a short time, Feng Yi found some wheat and a shoulder pole (a vegetable) from the house and made a bowl of rice with a shoulder pole for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu has been obsessed with this difficult experience. After assuming the throne, Liu Xiu wrote a letter to Feng Yi, which said, "I always remember the bean porridge that the general gave me in Wuwei Pavilion and the wheat and rice that he handed me in Hutuo River. I haven't returned these deep feelings yet! "

From then on, Feng Yi and Liu Xiu became friends in need. Since then, Liu Xiu has specially created two idioms for Feng Yi, which witnessed their unusual friendship.

In the third year of Jianwu, Feng Yi confronted the Red Eyebrow Army in Huayin, and Red Eyebrow pretended to be defeated, but in return, Feng Jun suffered heavy losses. After Feng Yi was defeated by the camp, he called for scattered troops and sent people to mix with Chimei. Then he was attacked from inside and outside, and Chimei was broken in the pool at the bottom of the ridge. Afterwards, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu wrote a letter saying, "The red eyebrows are broken, and hundreds of officials work hard. At first, although I hung my wings to Xi, I could finally compete for the pool, which can be described as' losing the east corner and gaining the mulberry'. "

Later, Feng Yi led his troops to defeat Yan Cen and other warlord forces and occupied Guanzhong area. Feng Yi has been in Guanzhong for three years, and his prestige is getting bigger and bigger. So someone wrote to Liu Xiu, saying that Feng Yi was too powerful in Guanzhong and was called "King of Xianyang", which would be bad for the Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu specially sent someone to show the letter to Feng Yi, and wrote a letter to comfort Feng Yi, saying, "The general is a monarch and minister, and treats his father and son well. Why are you suspicious and afraid? " In the first month of the sixth year of Jianwu (AD 30), Feng Yi went to Beijing to appear before Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu gave banquets to Feng Yi several times, pointing to him and saying to the Minister of Manchu, "This is my master book when I built the army. It split the thorns for me on the road to entrepreneurship, swept away many obstacles, and settled the Guanzhong land for me! " This is the origin of this idiom.

In the summer of the tenth year of Jianwu (AD 34), Feng Yi died in the military camp.

Feng Yi is strict in running the army, decisive before moving, moderate in rewards and punishments, and superior in political vision, strategy and tactics to other generals in the "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai". At the same time, he is humble and never takes credit. Many junior officers in the army are willing to serve under General Dashu. Feng Yi's untimely death made Liu Xiu lose a general with both wisdom and courage, which is a pity. Five hundred years later, the famous writer Yu Xin lamented: "The general left and the tree fell."

As a founding star, Feng Ke is undoubtedly lucky. He and Liu Xiu wrote a story about the encounter between the monarch and the minister. One was "Don't forget the kindness of the towel car" and the other was "Don't forget the difficulty of Hebei". (Li)
