Chapter 817
There must be tens of thousands of soldiers gathered near Ganshan, plus tens of thousands of people nearby, they can mobilize from them to fight at any time.
Ouyang Xun believed that it was not accidental that Feng An led his troops to station here when Zhao Jun aggressively encircled and suppressed Lin Shihong.

Soon Ouyang Xun was taken into the largest barn in the area.Ouyang Xun could guess without looking that the leader of the slang in the center with thick hands and feet and a taller figure than the others was Feng An, and around Feng An were mostly slang, Qu Shuai, powerful and powerful.

Most of these handsome men are dark-skinned, thinner and shorter than the Han people.However, Ouyang Xun also knew that people should not be judged by appearances. Judging from the powerful looks on the faces of these people, it was clear that the Liao clan was not a nation that easily succumbed to external force.

As a Han, Feng An has the status of today. Firstly, the children of Feng family are brave and good at fighting, and he himself is also a top-ranking general in the local area. Secondly, the Sui and Chen dynasties ruled Lingnan, and they needed a leader of Han origin. , to rule the local slang people, and at the same time facilitate communication with the imperial court. The third is the marriage between the Feng family and the Xian family, the leader of the Lingnan slang tribe. Feng An's grandmother, Mrs. Xian, was born in the Xian family.

Therefore, the Feng family is the family that ruled south of the Five Ridges after the fusion of the Han and Li clans, recognized by the two clans.

As for Feng An, it was not ordinary. At that time, the tide became a rebellion among Wuzhou bureaucrats. At that time, Mrs. Xian, the spokesperson of the Sui Dynasty in Lingnan, had died of illness. Yang Su discussed with Feng An the strategy to put down the rebellion, and Feng An's analysis was logical.Even Yang Su, the number one military strategist at the time, couldn't help but praise Chen Zan and Feng An. It was unexpected that there was such a character among the barbarians.After that, Feng An led the army to quell the Wuzhou Rebellion, and the court trusted him a lot.

"Who is here?" Feng An asked.

Ouyang Xun said: "This is Ouyang Xun, Shangshu of the Daxingtai Military Department on the South Road of Dazhao, but you are Feng An, the commander of Hanyang?"

Feng An was the prefect of Hanyang in the former Sui Dynasty, so Ouyang Xun was called by his original official name.And Feng An was slightly taken aback when he heard that Ouyang Xun was the Minister of the Ministry of War. He had been an official in the Sui Dynasty for many years, so of course he knew that the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War was not low.

Feng An originally thought that he was no more than an ordinary envoy from the State of Zhao, but Feng An's identity changed and he said: "It turns out that there are eight ministers, disrespect and disrespect, come and show Ouyang Shangshu!"

When Feng An said this, he used slang to describe Feng An's identity with the leader of the slang bureaucrats beside him. Everyone nodded in unison, and put away a little contempt.

Ouyang Xun sat down and said, "Prefect Feng is not in the South China Sea, but what is his plan to lead the army to Mount Gan?"

Feng Ang smiled and said: "I heard that there are frequent wars in the north of Lingnan, and many bandits fled to the south of the Lingnan to cause disaster. Before that, Gao Facheng and Xian Baoche of Panyu raised troops, and a certain led the army to town Fangping. Now I am watching Ganshan to be on guard. .”

Wei Shu 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 general of the Sui Dynasty. Although he has been in Lingnan for a long time, he doesn't have many people around him. It is Xian Baoche who used the name of Gao Facheng to start a rebellion."

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

Feng An narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is your Excellency? If you come to Lingnan in the future, how dare you speak lightly?"

Wei Shuxie said: "My surname is Wei, and my ancestors taboo it."

Feng Ang nodded and said: "It turns out that after the old man, Wang Zhongxuan from Panyu conspired against him, and the leaders of all ethnic groups responded. My grandfather was trapped in the South China Sea by a large army. It was someone who led the army to defeat Chen Fozhi first, and then joined forces with your grandfather to defeat Wang Zhongxuan. The two of us fought side by side back then, but I didn't expect his grandson to be so big.

When Feng An said this, first, he recounted his achievements in the past and rescued Wei Wei, and he was indebted to his Wei family, and second, he pointed out Wei Shuxie as an elder, so don't talk nonsense in front of him.

Wei Shuxie is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and said loudly: "Grandfather also told a certain number of times about Feng Taishou's bravery. He said that when he led the army into Lingnan, it was blocked by the Lingnan guard of the Chen Dynasty. The letter was given to Mrs. Xian to make it return to the Sui Dynasty. In order to prove it was true, she also showed her the Funan rhinoceros stick and the military amulet of Empress Chen that Mrs. Xian had presented to the Chen Dynasty. When Mrs. Xian saw the letter and the objects, she never stopped Convinced that the Chen Dynasty had perished, he sent troops to welcome the family ancestors and lead the troops into Lingnan, and only then did the various places hear the news and join them."

"That's why the family ancestor has always said that Lingnan was pacified, but he really didn't dare to take credit for it. It was thanks to Mrs. Xian's deep understanding of righteousness."

Feng An narrowed his eyes and smiled, but relayed Wei Shuxie's words with the bureau chief beside him, and everyone had smiles on their faces.When entering the door, there was much less tension between each other.

Ouyang Xun also nodded slightly. It seems that taking Wei Shuxie to Lingnan as an envoy is really the right decision. Of course, Feng An is not someone who can be persuaded with a few words. At this point, if he flatters a horse, he can only ease the atmosphere. But for Feng An to really take refuge in Da Zhao, there are only two aspects: strength and interests.

Ouyang Xun immediately took out Li Chongjiu's imperial edict and said to Feng An: "At present, my lord has the ambition to sweep the world. Although the land in the south of the Five Ridges is barbaric, it is also the land of the Han family. Dare I ask Prefect Feng what is his plan now?"

"I have already surrendered to Li Tang. If you want me to betray Tang and surrender to Zhao, wouldn't it be unfair to me?"

Ouyang Xun smiled and said: "But I heard that your lord cut off the tribute to Li Tang last year, and didn't send anyone to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year. I think this means to be a minister?"

Feng An didn't expect Ouyang Xun to understand so clearly, and said casually: "It's because the location is remote and there are many bandits on the road, so the trip didn't take place last year, but the people who will go to pay tribute this year are already preparing."

Ouyang Xun didn't expose it, and said with a sneer: "Let's assume that General Feng is really loyal to Li Tang, but when His Majesty sent someone to inform the envoy of the Western Turkic Khan, there was a saying that if you don't be our friend of Zhao, you are Zhao. If you are an enemy of the country, you can choose between two paths. May I ask Prefect Feng if he has considered the consequences of doing so?"

Feng An's face turned cold when he heard this, and said: "I have an army of [-] in Lingnan, all of whom are loyal men. I know that although the army of Great Zhao is strong, since ancient times, those who have attained the Dao have been helped more than those who have lost the Dao. My Feng family governs Lingnan has never lost morality, nor has it offended Dazhao, so Dazhao’s attack on Lingnan is an unidentified one, and since he is an unrighteous teacher, if he rashly attacks Lingnan, the people of Lingnan will fight you to the end."

Ouyang Xun secretly praised Feng An's eloquence, but he laughed and said: "Prefect Feng, it's just that I heard that the Lingnan Xian family has been spying on the Feng family's position as the leader of the Lingnan slang, otherwise Xian Baoche, Xian Zhichen's uncle and nephew would not The army has rebelled. If there is no support from our Central Plains Dynasty, will Feng Taishou's position in Lingnan be stable?"

Ouyang Xun's words hit Feng An's vitals.

The Feng family in Lingnan is the balance between the Han and Slang clans in Lingnan. The courts of the Sui and Chen dynasties could not approve the Slang people to rule Lingnan for themselves. to occupy Lingnan, but the slang could not resist the invasion of Lingnan by the Han.

That's why the Feng family has risen in this way. Whether it is Madam Xian, who was hailed as a national hero by later generations, or Feng An, they have reached their current status after the balance between the two families.

Among them, Feng An's mentality is also very special. As a man of the Xianbei, Han, and Li tribes, he has a high prestige among the common people of the Li tribe. Everyone regards the Feng family as a god, but the Han people have never regarded him as Looking at it from the same clan, otherwise Yang Su wouldn't have left behind the words "unexpectedly there is such a character among the barbarians".

What Feng An hates the most is the Han people in the north, and treats him like Qu Shuai, who is like a barbarian in the north.

Although Feng An has means and ability, he still resists the solicitation of the Central Plains Dynasty.But I also know that taking advantage of the chaos in the world, although I am very happy to be the king of Lingnan, no matter if Li Tang or Zhao Guo rule the world, they will use troops against Lingnan.

Therefore, some people advised Feng Ancheng to take advantage of the situation and establish himself as the king of Nanyue when he now governs twenty states and has a territory of thousands of miles.

But Feng An said: "I have plenty of rich and beautiful women. There are not many rich and noble people in the world who can be as rich as me. I have often worried that I will destroy the foundation of my ancestors. Will I still become king?"

So Feng An decided to descend to the Tang Dynasty from the south of the Five Ridges, and paid tribute to Li Yuan, which was appreciated by Li Yuan.But now the situation is reversed, Zhao Jun defeated the East Turks, Goguryeo, Li Tang couldn't take care of himself, when Xian Baoche and Xian Zhichen rebelled last year, Li Tang didn't have time to take care of it, which made Feng Ang very sad.After the rebellion was quelled, Feng An became indifferent to Li Tang.

Feng Ang said: "My Feng family has lived in South Vietnam for five generations. I have been guarding Lingnan, and I won it with one sword and one gun. I didn't ask for mercy from that side. If you don't know the loyalty of people in Lingnan to my Feng family , you just look at me and the slang leaders, they are the best evidence!"
Ouyang Xun didn't expect Feng An to be so powerful, and couldn't help wondering whether he had misjudged Feng An's power.

Ouyang Xun stood up and said: "Prefect Feng, since you are so persistent, we have nothing to say, but if you want to keep the Lingnan Liao tribe safe, then don't interfere in the war between my Great Zhao and Lin Shihong, otherwise the war will be disastrous." Together, my Great Zhao Emperor can turn the entire Lingnan into a sea of ​​corpses and blood at any time, this is not a threat, but something we can really do."

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

The next day, Ouyang Xun and Wei Shuxie left in disappointment. Although they did not complete the surrender of Feng An, they got a guarantee from him not to intervene in Lin Shihong's war.

While the two were walking, they heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, and a group of slang cavalry caught up.Ouyang Xun couldn't help being surprised, the southern slang rarely rode horses, and one of them was very rare.

Then Ouyang Xun saw Feng An riding on a horse, surrounded by his subordinates.

Ouyang Xun saw it and asked, "What's the purpose of Prefect Feng here?"

Seeing this, Feng An grabbed Ouyang Xun's reins and said: "We met yesterday, and the conversation was too shallow. I missed it all night last night, and felt that we have more in common with Da Zhao, so I would like to invite Ouyang Shangshu back to discuss together. Big plan!"

Feng An was compared with the unruly Lord of Lingnan yesterday.Today, he obviously lowered his posture a lot.

Ouyang Xun took the reins back into his hands with a slight smile and said: "Mr. Feng, your arrogance and respect really make me not understand. Could it be something big happened, so you need us for help."

Feng Ang said: "To be honest, I received news yesterday that Jian'an Dongman killed the magistrate of Nan'an County and broke the city to cause chaos. Twenty thousand people have gathered, so I come to ask Shangshu to solve this matter."

When Feng An said that, it was very natural, without the slightest embarrassment of begging for help. He really was a person who had experienced many storms.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xun suddenly realized: "Feng Taishou has [-] strong soldiers in the south of the Lingnan, so why not be afraid of a barbarian riot in one place, just suppress it."

Feng Ang shook his head and said: "It's fine if it's elsewhere. Jian'an is a dangerous place. During the Eastern Wu Dynasty, He Qi entered Fujian to fight against the Shanyue people; at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lu Xun passed Fujian; There are countless. To be honest, although my Feng family is based in twenty prefectures in the south of the Lingnan, there is nothing we can do about the Dongman in the Jian'an Mountains. This time they have become popular, so I asked Ouyang Shangshu for an order to mobilize people from the south of the Lingnan Min crusade."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xun suddenly realized that Feng An's appeal for peace now was because he had no choice but to use Dongman in Fujian, or he might have thought about it all night and decided to use this method to step down and ask Zhao Guo for his subordinates.

Ouyang inquired: "Yes, is the prefect Feng planning to return to Zhao?"

Feng An said: "Exactly."

"Okay, then take Lin Shihong's head! Our Emperor Zhao believes in your sincerity and will keep your Feng family prosperous in Lingnan for generations!"

Feng An laughed loudly and said, "This is easy!"
