Life of the characters

Submit to Liu Xiu

At the end of the new dynasty, Feng Yi was once the governor of Yingchuan county. In the 22nd year (the third year of the emperor), Liu Yan started his army. Feng Yi was ordered to supervise the five counties and fight against the Han army with Miao Meng, the head of Fucheng county. In the 23rd year (the first year of the reform), Liu Xuan established the reform regime. Liu Xiu led his army to capture Yingchuan from Nanyang, and attacked his father's city. Failing to conquer it, he stationed troops in Jinche Township, his father's city. Feng Yi went out to inspect the county and was captured by the Han army. At this time, his cousin Feng Xiao, together with his fellow county people Ding Gu and LV Yan, were in Liu Xiujun's group to sponsor Feng Yi, and Liu Xiu immediately summoned him. "My mother is now in the city," says Feng. If you can release me back to the city, I would like to offer the five cities under my supervision in return for your kindness. " Liu Xiu praised it. After Feng Yi returns to her father's city, she persuades Miao Meng to join Liu Xiu. Miao Meng agrees.

Soon after Liu Yan was killed, Liu Xiu returned to Wancheng, but Feng Yi always insisted on his father's city, refused to surrender to the reformer regime, and defeated more than ten sieges of the reformer generals. Later, Liu Xiu served as the commander of Sili school, passing through his father's city. Feng Yi immediately opened the door to offer wine to meet, was appointed as the main book. Feng Yi also recommended many fellow villagers, such as Yao Qi, Shu Shou, Duan Jian, Zuo long and so on. These people were appointed as "the history of history" and accompanied Liu Xiu to Luoyang.

Hebei Province

Liu Xuan repeatedly wanted to send Liu Xiu to run Hebei Province, but all his subordinates thought it was impossible. At that time, Cao Xu, the son of Cao Jing, the Prime Minister of Zuo, was a powerful official. Feng Yi advised Liu Xiu to make friends with him. Later, Liu Xuan decided to send Liu Xiu to Hebei, and Cao Xu's help played a significant role.

After Liu Yan was killed, although she was not sad in public, she often cried when she lived alone. Feng Yi went to comfort him, and took the opportunity to offer advice, persuading Liu Xiu to take the opportunity to win over the people and develop his own power. Liu Xiu took his advice and sent him to visit all counties during the same period in Handan to release prisoners and raise widows. Feng Yi also secretly investigated whether the prefecan prefect to Liu Xiu.

In the 24th year (the second year of the reform), Wang Lang started an incident in Handan. Liu Xiu and his followers galloped south from Jicheng (now Beijing) and arrived at Wuqi pavilion under Raoyang at midnight. When it was cold, everyone felt hungry and tired. Feng Yi cooked the bean porridge in a hurry. The next day, Liu Xiu said to the generals, "yesterday I got Gongsun bean porridge. I was hungry and cold." When he arrived in Nangong County, Liu Xiu and his entourage took shelter in the empty house beside the road. Feng Yi cooked wheat rice to satisfy his hunger. After Liu Xiu entered the capital, he ordered Feng Yi to recruit soldiers and horses in Hejian area, and gave him the partial general. After that, Feng Yisui followed Liu Xiu to defeat Wang Lang and the iron Shin peasant army. He pacified Hebei Province and was named yinghou for his meritorious service.

Guard Mengjin

After Liu Xiuping was born in Hebei Province, Liu Xuan sent Li Yi, Wang Tianli, Da Sima Zhuyu, Chen Qiao, the Duke of white tiger, and Wu Bo, the governor of Henan Province, to guard Luoyang with 300000 troops. In order to consolidate his rule in Hebei, Liu Xiu led his army back to sweep the peasant army. At the same time, he ordered Kou Xun to be the prefect of Hanoi and Feng Yi to be the general of Mengjin. He led the garrison of Hanoi and Weijun to resist Zhu Yu and Li Yi.

Feng Yi found out the discord between Zhu Yu and Li Yi. In order to break up, she wrote to Li Yixiao, pointing out that Liu Xuan's political power was at stake, while Liu Xiu's power was growing. She urged him to "realize the success or failure and make a big plan.". Li Yi once conspired with Liu Yan and Liu Xiu brothers and had a deep friendship. Later, she attached herself to Liu Xuan and took part in the killing of Liu Yan. Therefore, although Li Yi knew that Chang'an was in danger and wanted to surrender, she was "uneasy" at the same time. In her reply, she said that she was willing to make friends with Feng Yi, hoping that through him and Liu Xiu could restore their old friendship and leave a retreat for herself.

Li Yi no longer confronts with Feng Yi since she wrote the book. Feng Yi took advantage of this opportunity to attack tianjingguan in the north, two cities of Shangdang County in the north, and thirteen counties in the east of Chenggao in Henan Province in the south. All the powerful separatist settlements in these areas were put down one by one, and more than 100000 people surrendered. Wu bonai led his troops to fight against the surrender. Feng Yi led his troops across the river to rescue Wu Bo. He fought with Wu Bo in Shixiang (in the east of Luoyang City, Henan Province today) and killed Wu Bo. Li Yi didn't save her behind closed doors.

Feng Yijian's strategy of disintegration has worked, so he plays Liu Xiu. In order to further intensify the conflict between Li Yi and Zhu Yu, Liu Xiu deliberately divulges the contents of Li Yi's letter with Feng Yitong. Zhu Yu is furious when he hears about it, and sends someone to assassinate Li Yi. He also sends Su Mao, a general who is in trouble, to cross the river to attack Wen County. At the same time, he leads his troops to attack Pingyin in the northwest of Luoyang to contain Feng Yi. Feng Yi and Kou Xun first joined forces to defeat Su Mao. Then Feng Yi's troops crossed the river to attack Zhu tuna. Zhu tuna fled back to Luoyang. Feng Yi's troops chased down Luoyang City and returned after a week's siege.

When the success report reached Hebei, the generals congratulated Liu Xiu and advised him to ascend the throne and become emperor. Liu xiupai sent an envoy to make Feng Yi come to the town to discuss, and Feng Yi also advised Liu Xiu to be emperor. Liu Xiu told him: "last night, I went to heaven by the red dragon. When I woke up, I felt uneasy." Feng Yi believed that this was the mandate of heaven, and discussed the honorary title with the generals.

Pacify Guanzhong

In the 26th year (the second year of Jianwu), Feng Yiding was the Marquis of Xia Yang. At this time, there was famine all over Guanzhong. Yancen, who originally occupied Hanzhong area (now southern Shaanxi), sent troops to invade all parts of the west of Chang'an. The powerful landlords of all counties and counties supported themselves. The red eyebrow Army wanted to return to the East because of the difficulty in providing. Because Deng Yu had been in Guanzhong for a long time, Liu Xiu took charge of the military affairs in Guanlong area. Liu Xiu personally sent him to Henan, gave him a seven foot sword, and warned him: "today's expedition, it is not necessary to slaughter the city slightly, it is necessary to be in the ear of peaceful gathering. The generals are not strong in fighting, but they are good at plundering. Qing instinct imperial officials, willing to self-discipline Chi, no County suffering Feng Yi was ordered to travel westward, giving prestige, and many people were obedient along the way.

The red eyebrow army returned from Chang'an and met Feng Yi in Huayin. After more than 60 days of stalemate between the two armies, Feng Yi's income dropped by more than 5000. In the spring of the 27th year (the third year of Jianwu), Liu Xiu sent envoys to appoint Feng Yi as the general of the western expedition. At this time, the great situ Deng Yu and general Deng Hong led the troops back to Huayin and asked to join forces with Feng Yi to attack the red eyebrow army. Deng Hong led the attack and was defeated by the red eyebrow army. Feng Yi had no choice but to go to the rescue with Deng Yu. The red eyebrow army retreated. Feng Yi advised Deng Yu to withdraw his troops for a while. Deng Yu pursued him greedily and was defeated by the red eyebrow army. The soldiers fled to Yiyang with death and injury. Feng Yi and several of his subordinates abandoned their horses and walked back to Xiban (now Mianchi County South of Henan Province). They collected the defeated soldiers and gathered tens of thousands of local landlords to arm them. The whole army returned to battle. First, they put their elite soldiers on the roadside and made them dress as red eyebrow soldiers. Then they joined the battle. When the red eyebrow army was tired, the ambush began. The red eyebrow army did not know whether it was true or not. It was terrified and defeated at the end of the river. More than 100000 people rushed to Yiyang, fell into a tight encirclement and were forced to surrender. Therefore, Liu Xiushu praised Feng Yi and ordered him to enter the pass to pacify Guanzhong.

At this time, although Chimei had already surrendered, the powerful landlords took charge of each county and called themselves generals. There were more than ten thousand soldiers supporting each other and thousands of soldiers supporting each other. Feng Yi went while fighting and stationed his troops in Shanglin garden. Yan Cen broke through Chi Mei and called himself king Wu'an. He set up a prefect to occupy Hanzhong. He led Zhang Han and Ren Liang to attack Feng Yi. Feng Yi defeated him and beheaded him more than a thousand levels. All the battalions attached to yancen came to surrender to Feng Yi. When yancen went to attack Xixian County, Feng Yi sent Deng ye, the general of Fuhan, and Yu Kuang, the general of Fuhan, to attack yancen and defeat yancen. He surrendered more than 8000 people, including Su Chen, to the Han army. Yancen fled from Wuguan to Nanyang. At this time, the people were hungry, people ate people, and a jin of gold could only be exchanged for five liters of beans. However, the roads were cut off and the transportation could not reach them, so the soldiers used fruits as food. Liu Xiu ordered Zhao Kuang in Nanyang to help Feng Yi. He led the army to help Feng Yi and sent silk and millet to the army. Long live the army. With the increase of food, Feng Yi gradually killed and attacked the heroes who did not obey orders, and praised and rewarded those who had made contributions. All the generals were sent to the capital, and all the troops returned to their own businesses. Weide was prevalent in Guanzhong. Only Lu tuna, Zhang Han and Jiang Zhen sent envoys to surrender to Shu, and the rest were pacified.

The next year, Gongsun Shu sent General Cheng Yan to accompany LV tuna out of Chencang. Feng Yi and Zhao Kuang met each other and broke Cheng Yan, who retreated to Hanchuan. After many attacks, Lu Yanjun breaks through the camp and surrenders. Later, Shu sent many generals to ride out, and Feng was defeated. It was only three years before and after that that that many people came to Shanglin to join them.

Feng Yi, who had been out for a long time, was uneasy. She wrote that she wanted to see the imperial court and was willing to go on a blind date in the palace, but Liu Xiu didn't allow it. Later, someone wrote a memorial saying that Feng Yi was dictatorial in Guanzhong and killed the magistrate of Chang'an County. He had great prestige and power, and the people believed in him and called him "King Xianyang." Liu Xiu sent someone to show Feng Yi the memorial. Feng Yi was terrified and wrote a letter of apology, saying: "I was originally a Confucian scholar. I got the opportunity to be appointed in the war, and I was fully prepared for the military. I suffered too much favors and personal gains. I was worshipped as a general, knighted as a general, and appointed as a special commissioner to the West. All of these were for the sake of national interests, regardless of personal gains. I fell down and thought to myself: I often get the best result by ordering me to fight, sometimes I make a decision with selfishness, and I never regret it. The emperor's unique wisdom, long and more far-reaching, will know that "nature and the way of heaven are not to be heard." When the military revolution began to rise and there was chaos, the heroes competed in groups and many people were confused. I was able to hold myself under your command in the face of what happened before
