Because of Yu Wenhua and the killing of Yang Guang, the Great Sui Dynasty completely collapsed. Because of this incident, Gao Buer was delayed in Hangzhou for half a year, which gave Shen Faxing a chance to breathe, and Shen Faxing secretly sent people to contact Feng Ang and Xiao Mo to prepare an alliance to counter Gao Buer.

Gao Buer heard Li Jing's report on the matter, Xiao Milling he was not worried, but Feng Ang is a big trouble, the Feng family has been operating in the southwest coast for many years, and has a very high status in the hearts of those Liao people, it is by no means comparable to Shen Faxing and Xiao Milling, the king of weeds, plus Feng Ang occupies a mountainous place, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is basically hopeless to completely conquer for more than ten years.

In order to prevent Shen Faxing and Feng Ang from colluding, Gao Buer asked Zhang Zhongping to lead an army of 80,000 to occupy Jiangxia and Chuyang counties to deter Xiao Miao's old nest Baling and Nanjun; Ordered Yu Shinan to lead 60,000 troops south, preparing to join Li Jing to attack Shen Faxing's old nest and Jian'an.

At the same time, Gao Buer secretly rushed to Nanhai County, ready to talk to Feng Ang in person, to see if he could win him over, as long as he was in Ping Shen Faxing and Xiao Milling, he didn't send troops to help, and he could talk about any conditions.

Feng An, whose nest is in Hepu, received a letter from Gao Buer and asked the Feng family to discuss.

His eldest son Feng Zhidai said: "The Sui army led by Gao Fuji is currently a powerful one, I heard that after Yang Guang's death, Empress Xiao appeared in his military camp, and let the Sui Dynasty officials obey him, and now he has gathered the Sui Dynasty stragglers, the strength is not less than 200,000, the strength is far beyond us, it is better to meet him and see what he says." ”

The second son, Feng Zhiyu, said: "Before we were under Lin Shihong, we have undoubtedly fallen out with the imperial court, if Gao Buer condemns us on behalf of the imperial court, how should we deal with ourselves?" ”

"It's easy." Feng Zhidai said: "At that time, it will be said that we are coerced by Lin Shihong and have to rely on him, this is all an expedient measure, and it is proof that Lin Shihong ordered us to send troops before and we didn't come out." ”

Feng Zhiyu said: "What if he doesn't believe it? ”

Feng Ang said: "I can't help but believe it, I heard that after Yang Guang's death, the officials of the Sui Dynasty under him asked him to send troops to the Northern Expedition to avenge Yang Guang, I don't know how he appeased them, if there is no owner today, the wolf smoke is everywhere, he is eager to pacify the south so that he can free up his hand to chase the Central Plains, or he will not let Li Jing be stationed in the South China Sea instead of attacking us." ”

Feng Zhidai said: "What my father said is very true, my Feng family has been operating in Lingnan for a long time, and it is far from being comparable to those grass kings. ”

"As the eldest brother said, then how should we deal with ourselves? You can't surrender him. ”

Feng Ang glanced at his second son, and said with some disappointment in his eyes: "Yu'er, we don't call it surrender, it's a false and wronged snake, so that we can buy time to become stronger, and hard fists are the last word in these years." ”

Yan Yan said to his eldest son: "Dai'er, you reply to Gao Buer, saying that if the King of Chu can trust Feng, he will invite the King of Chu to Gaoliang to taste lobster and sea crab for his father five days later." ”

Feng Zhidai wrote a reply according to Feng An's meaning, and Feng Ang was satisfied and handed it to the messenger sent by Gao Buji. When Gao Fuji received the letter, he immediately took a guard and set off. Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl persuaded him to bring more people, but Gao Buer refused, he believed that Mrs. Xian's descendants would not do anything untrustworthy.

Gao Liang, the hometown of Mrs. Xian, the first woman hero in China, is the leader of South Vietnam, and the slang people she led are the largest native ethnic group in South Vietnam since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and under her leadership, they have gradually integrated into the Chinese nation with the Han nationality as the main body, and promoted the development process of Lingnan culture and even Chinese civilization.

In the second year of Emperor Wu of Liang's reign, Mrs. Xian wrote to the imperial court as the chief of Lingnan to propose the establishment of Yazhou on Hainan Island, and the Liang Dynasty approved that Mrs. Xian would regain the management of Hainan Island, which had been separated from the central royal power for 586 years since the Han Dynasty. And Feng Ang is the grandson of Madame Xian, and now the new leader of Lingnan.

Gao Buer came to Gao Liang Feng An's residence and ordered people to worship on the ground. The Feng father and son went out to greet each other in person.

Feng Ang laughed and said: "The king of Chu is here, and the humble house is shining, please inside." ”

Gao Fuji hugged his fists as a salute and came to the hall, and the two sides sat down.

Gao Buji said: "Lord Feng's ancestors have made great contributions to the country, and it is a great honor to be able to drink at the same table with his descendants, and I hope that Lord Feng can join hands with Fuji to stabilize Lingnan regardless of his past suspicions." ”

Gao Buer has always called Feng Ang Lord Feng, which shows that he also admits that Feng Ang is an official of the Sui Dynasty, and he doesn't care about his previous attachment to Lin Shihong. Feng's father and son saw Gao Fuji like this, and they were very sure in their hearts, after all, no one wanted to be a chaotic minister and thief, and it was not okay to discredit their ancestors.

Feng Ang said: "Since the King of Chu doesn't care about his past suspicions, Feng has thanked him, and a glass of thin wine is not a tribute, please." ”

Gao Buer took the wine glass and drank it all, Feng Ang said: "The king of Chu can only bring one with him, Feng is ashamed of this trust, and he also asked the king of Chu to explain his intentions." ”

Gao Buer hugged Feng Ang and said: "After Lord Feng became Mrs. Xian, I couldn't bear to see the mountains and rivers broken, but now that the Great Sui Qi has been exhausted, the so-called good birds choose trees to rest, and this king also understands, even this king has not considered how to deal with himself now, if we form an ally, whoever has the ability to dominate the world in the future, we will change our banner and attach ourselves to whom." ”

Feng Ang said solemnly: "Didn't the King of Chu think about reshaping the Great Sui again? ”

Gao Buer said indifferently: "The general trend of the world is divided and combined, and the virtuous people in the world live in it, and I am not a pedantic person, so I naturally will not go against the general trend." ”

"Then the king of Chu can have the heart to dominate the world, according to your current power, it is only a matter of time to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and then you can hand over the male soldiers to the north to chase the Central Plains, if the prince has this grand plan, the Feng family is willing to attach to the tail."

Gao Buer waved his hand and said: "I know what Feng Gong is worried about, he is afraid that the interests of the clan will not be protected, please rest assured, no matter who dominates the world, Lingnan needs your Feng family to be in charge, you can rest assured of this." ”

"Then the prince should see the general trend of the world more clearly than below, which one do you think has the best hope of finally dominating the world?"

"This is not very clear at present, in terms of strength, our close neighbors Xiao Mi, Hebei Dou Jiande, Wagang Li Mi, and Luoyang Wang Shichong are all possible, of course, Li Yuan of Chang'an also has a chance."

Seeing the ambiguity of Gao Buer's words, Feng Ang persuaded a glass of wine and said, "If I promise to form an alliance with the prince, there are a few conditions that the prince will agree to." ”

Gao Fuji took a sip of tea and said, "You can say it." ”

Feng Ang said: "First, after the alliance, we are not subordinate to each other, and we are equal and brotherly. ”

"Of course."

"Second, we can provide you with some goods to replenish military funds, and we can even use the road to facilitate the attack on Xiao Milling by the prince's troops, and we are also willing to contribute to the pacification of the south, but you can't force my army to take the lead."

"This one can too."

"The last one is that no matter who is the king of the Central Plains in the future, when you merge with it, you must take the Feng family with you, and ensure that the interests of the Feng family are not harmed."

"But please rest assured, just by virtue of your lord's ancestor, Mrs. Xian, this king believes that the future king will not despise your Feng family, I promise this."

After Gao Buer's confirmation, Feng's father and son immediately ordered someone to prepare an incense case and officially formed an alliance with Gao Buer.
