Chapter 817: The Former and the Later (Second Update)

There are definitely tens of thousands of slang soldiers gathered near this Ganshan Mountain, plus there are tens of thousands of people nearby, so they can mobilize and fight at any time.

Ouyang Xun believed that when the Zhao army encircled and suppressed Lin Shihong, it was not by chance that Feng Ang led the army to be stationed here.

Soon, Ouyang Xun was brought into one of the largest barn houses in the area. Ouyang Xun can guess without looking at it that the slang leader in the center who has thick hands and feet and is taller than others is Feng An, and around Feng Ang is mostly slang, and the second department of the bureaucracy is handsome and strong.

Most of these handsome men are dark-skinned and have a thin and short stature compared to the Han Chinese. However, Ouyang Xun also knew that he could not judge people, and judging from the fierce colors on the faces of these people, he knew that the two clans of slang were not a people who succumbed to external force.

As a Han Chinese, Feng Ang has today's status, firstly, the Feng family's children are brave and good at fighting, and he himself is also a first-class local general, secondly, the Sui and Chen dynasties' rule over Lingnan requires a leader from Han to rule the local slang people, and it is also convenient to communicate with the imperial court, and the third is the marriage between the Feng family and the leader of the Lingnan slang clan, the Xian family, and Feng An's grandmother, Mrs. Xian, is from the Xian family.

Therefore, the Feng family is the family of the Han and Slang clans that is recognized by the two clans and governs Lingnan on behalf of the two clans.

As for Feng Ang, it was not ordinary, when the tide became a rebellion in the five continents, when the Sui Dynasty's spokesperson in Lingnan, Mrs. Xian, had died of illness, Yang Su and Feng Ang discussed the strategy of quelling the rebellion, and Feng Ang analyzed the head of the way. Even Yang Su, the first military artist at that time, couldn't help but praise Chen Zan and Feng Ang, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a character among the barbarians. Later, Feng Ang led the army to quell the rebellion in Wuzhou, and the court trusted him.

"Who's coming?" Feng Ang asked.

Ouyang Xun said: "A certain is Ouyang Xun, the secretary of the Daxing Taiwan Military Department of Dazhao Henan Road, but is it Hanyang Ling Feng An?" ”

Feng Annai was the former Sui Dynasty and was the Taishou of Hanyang. So Ouyang Xun was called his original official name. And Feng Ang was slightly stunned when he heard that Ouyang Xun was the secretary of the Ministry of War, he had been an official in the Great Sui for many years. Of course, I know that the official position of the military department is not low.

Feng Ang thought that he was just an ordinary envoy of Zhao State, but when he heard Feng An's identity change, he said: "It turned out to be eight Shangshu." Disrespectful and disrespectful, someone came to show Ouyang Shangshu! ”

When Feng Ang said this, he and the slang leaders on the side said Feng An's identity in slang, and everyone nodded together, and they also put away a little contempt.

Ouyang Xun sat down and said, "Feng Taishou is not in the South China Sea, but what are the plans to lead the army to Ganshan?" ”

Feng Ang said with a smile: "I heard that there are frequent wars in Lingbei, and many robbers have fled to Lingnan for trouble. At present, watching the troops in Ganshan is also on guard. ”

Uncle Wei said in a harmonious voice: "What Feng Taishou said is different from what I heard, as far as I know, Gao Facheng is a former Sui Lang general, although he has been in Lingnan for a long time, but there are not many people around him. I heard that it was Xian Baoche of the Lingnan Xian clan who rebelled in the name of Gao Facheng. ”

When Wei Shuhuan said this, he also implied that Feng An's position in Lingnan was not so stable, otherwise Xian Baoche, who had always supported the Xian family of the Feng family, and Xian Zhichen's uncle and nephew would not have raised troops to oppose it.

Feng An's eyes narrowed and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" If you have ever been to Lingnan, how dare you speak lightly? ”

Uncle Wei said humorously: "Under the surname Wei, the ancestors of the family are secretive. ”

Feng Ang nodded and said: "It turned out that after the old man, Wang Zhong, a native of Panyu, declared a rebellion. The leaders of all ethnic groups responded, and Er's grandfather was trapped in the South China Sea by the army, and it was a certain army that led the army to defeat Chen Fozhi first. Then join forces with your grandfather and break Wang Zhongxuan again. When the two of us fought side by side, I didn't expect his grandchildren to be so old.

Feng Ang said. One recounted his exploits that year and rescued Wei Huan. He is kind to the Wei family, and secondly, as an elder, he points out Uncle Wei's harmony, don't talk nonsense in front of him.

Uncle Wei is a newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger and said loudly: "Grandfather also told a certain Feng Taishou many times about the bravery of Feng Taishou, he said that he led the army into Lingnan that year, and was blocked by Xu Fan, the Lingnan guard of the Chen Dynasty, and then asked Chen Houzhu to send a letter to Mrs. Xian to return to the Sui Dynasty, in order to prove that it is true, but also to show her the Funan rhino staff that Mrs. Xian had dedicated to the Chen Dynasty and the soldier talisman of Chen Houzhu. When Mrs. Xian saw the letter and the objects, she was convinced that the Chen Dynasty had fallen, so she sent an army to welcome her ancestor and lead the army into Lingnan. ”

"Therefore, the ancestor of the family has always said that he will pacify Lingnan, but he really doesn't dare to take credit, and it is mostly thanks to Mrs. Xian's deep understanding of righteousness."

Feng An's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he smiled, but relayed Uncle Wei's words to the slang leader on the side, and everyone had a smile on their faces. There was a lot less tension between each other when they entered the door.

Ouyang Xun also nodded slightly, it seems that it is really a correct decision to take Uncle Wei to envoy Lingnan, of course, Feng Ang is not a person who can be persuaded in a few words, at this point, if you shoot the horse, at most you can only ease the atmosphere, but if Feng Ang really takes refuge in Da Zhao, it can only rely on strength and interests.

Ouyang Xun immediately took out Li Chongjiu's edict and gave it to Feng Andao: "Right now, my lord has the ambition to sweep the world, although the land of Lingnan is in the wilderness, but it is also the land of the Han family, dare to ask Feng Taishou what he plans to do now?" ”

"I'm already a vassal to Li Tang right now. If you want me to rebel against Tang and surrender to Zhao, wouldn't it make me lose my righteousness? ”

Ouyang Xun said with a smile: "But I heard that your lord cut off the tribute to Li Tang last year, and did not send someone to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year, do I think this means to be a minister?" ”

Feng Ang didn't expect Ouyang Xun to understand so clearly, and said casually: "That's because it's in a remote area, and there are a lot of thieves on the road, so I didn't make the trip last year, but this year's people and horses who went to pay tribute are already preparing." ”

Ouyang Xun didn't reveal it, and sneered: "Just assume that General Feng is really loyal to Li Tang, but when His Majesty sent someone to tell the envoy of the Western Turkic Khan, there was a sentence that if you don't be a friend of our Zhao State, you are the enemy of Zhao State, and you can choose two paths by yourself." Dare to ask Feng Taishou if he has considered the consequences of doing this? ”

Feng An's face turned cold when he heard this: "I have 50,000 troops in Lingnan, all of whom are loyal people, and I know that although the Great Zhao army is strong, since ancient times, those who have attained the Tao have been more helpful, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. My Feng family has never lost virtue in governing Lingnan, and I have never offended Da Zhao, so Da Zhao's attack on my Lingnan is a nameless teacher, and since he is an unrighteous teacher, rashly crusade against my Lingnan, my Lingnan people will fight with you to the end. ”

Ouyang Xun secretly praised Feng An's eloquence. But he laughed and said: "Feng Taishou, it's just that I heard that the Lingnan Xian family has been peeping at the Feng family's position as the leader of the Lingnan slang people. Otherwise, Xian Baoche and Xian Zhichen's uncle and nephew would not have rebelled. If there is no support from my Central Plains Dynasty. So can Feng Taishou's position in Lingnan be stable? ”

Ouyang Xun's words hit Feng An's vital point.

Lingnan Feng is the balance of the Han and Slang clans in Lingnan, and the Sui and Chen dynasties could not approve of the Slang people to rule Lingnan for themselves, but the Sui and Chen dynasties could not really subdue the Slang people, and the Slang people refused to accept the Han people to occupy Lingnan, but the Slang people could not resist the Han invasion of Lingnan.

So the Feng family rose like this, whether it was Mrs. Xian, who was hailed as a national hero by later generations. is still Feng An, both of them have reached today's status after the balance of the two families.

Among them, Feng An's mentality is also very special, as a man of the Xianbei, Han, and Slang tribes, he has a high prestige among the Slang people, and everyone regards the Feng family as a god, but the Han people have never regarded him as a fellow clan. Otherwise, Yang Su would not have dropped the sentence 'I can't imagine that there is such a character among the barbarians'.

Feng Ang hated the Han people in the north the most, and regarded him as equivalent to the barbarian Qu Shuai in the north.

Although Feng Ang was very powerful and capable, he was still very resistant to the solicitation of the Central Plains Dynasty. But I also know that taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity in the world. Although he is very happy to be the king of Lingnan, whether it is Li Tang or Zhao State, after dominating the world. will use troops against Lingnan.

Therefore, someone advised Feng Ang to take advantage of the time when he now governs twenty states and has a territory of thousands of miles. Take advantage of the situation to establish himself as the king of Nanyue and make Zhao Tuo's hegemony.

But Feng Ang said: "I have wealth and beauty." There are not many rich people in the world who can be as rich as me. I have always worried that I will ruin the inheritance of my ancestors, will I still be king? ”

So Feng Ang decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in Lingnan and pay tribute to Li Yuan, which was appreciated by Li Yuan. But now the shape is reversed, the Zhao army has broken the Eastern Turks, Goguryeo, Li Tang is too busy to take care of himself, and when Xian Baoche and Xian Zhichen rebelled last year, Li Tang had no time to pay attention to it, which made Feng Ang very cold. After quelling the rebellion, Feng Ang became indifferent to Li Tang.

Feng Ang said: "My Feng family has lived in South Vietnam for five generations, guarding Lingnan, and it is not in exchange for wagging its tail and begging for mercy on that side. If you don't know the loyalty of the people of Lingnan to my Feng family, but you look at my left and right slang leaders, they are the best evidence! ”

Ouyang Xun didn't expect Feng Ang to be so strong, and couldn't help but wonder if he had misestimated Feng An's power.

Ouyang Xun stood up and said: "Feng Taishou, since you are so insistent, we have nothing to say, but if you want to keep the Lingnan slang clan safe, don't interfere in the war between my Great Zhao and Lin Shihong, otherwise the war will be a disaster, and my Great Zhao Emperor can turn the entire Lingnan into a mountain of corpses and blood at any time, this is not a threat, but something we can really do." ”

Ouyang Xun said this, and Feng An's expression changed.

The next day, Ouyang Xun and Uncle Wei left in disappointment, although they did not complete the surrender of Feng An, but they got a guarantee that he would not interfere in Lin Shihong's war.

As the two were walking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and a team of slang cavalry caught up. Ouyang Xun couldn't help but be surprised, the southern slang people rarely rode horses, and one of them was very rare.

Immediately, Ouyang Xun saw Feng Ang riding on a horse, and his subordinates were on the left and right.

Ouyang inquired and asked, "What does Feng Taishou mean by coming here?" ”

Feng Ang saw the reins of Ouyang Xun and said: "I met yesterday, the conversation was too shallow, I missed it all night last night, and I felt that I had more things in common with Da Zhao, so I wanted to ask Ouyang Shangshu to return and discuss the plan!" ”

Feng Ang compared with yesterday's rebellious Lord of Lingnan. Today, he has clearly lowered his posture a lot.

Ouyang Xun smiled slightly and took the reins back into his hand and said, "Feng Taishou, you really don't understand the order this time, it must be that something big has happened, so you have to ask us." ”

Feng Ang said: "It's not a secret, yesterday I received news that Jian'an Tong brutally killed the county order of Nan'an County, broke the city and caused chaos, and 20,000 people have been gathered, so I came to ask Shangshu to solve this matter." ”

When Feng Ang said this, it was very natural, and there was no embarrassment in begging for help, and he was really a person who had been through the storm for a long time.

Ouyang Xun suddenly realized after hearing this: "Feng Taishou has 50,000 soldiers in Lingnan, so why not be afraid of a barbaric rebellion in one place, and suppress it." ”

Feng Ang shook his head and said: "If it is somewhere else, it will be fine, Jian'an is a dangerous place, and when Eastern Wu He Qi entered Fujian to fight against the Shanyue people; Lu Xun in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty passed through Fujian; During the Chen Dynasty, Chen Baoying's rebellion, and the rest of the small rebellions were countless every year. To be honest, although my Feng family is based in the twenty states of Lingnan, there is no way to take the barbarians in Jian'an Mountain. This time, they became the climate, so they asked Ouyang Shangshu for an order and asked me to mobilize Lingnan people to enter Fujian to fight. ”

Ouyang Xun suddenly realized that Feng Ang was now suing for peace, either because he had no way to take Fujian, or maybe he thought about it all night, and decided to step down in this way and ask Zhao for his subordinates.

Ouyang asked: "Yes, Feng Taishou plans to return to Zhao now?" ”

Feng Ang said: "Exactly. ”

"Yes, then you can take Lin Shihong's head! We, the Emperor of Zhao, believe in your sincerity and ensure that your Feng family will be rich and prosperous in Lingnan for generations! ”

Feng Ang laughed when he heard this: "This is easy! (To be continued......)
