Introduction: The so-called clan father generally refers to the grandson of the great-grandfather's brother. This relationship seems a little distant from our current point of view, but for the era when the family concept was relatively heavy in ancient times, this is still a family.
Fei Yi lost his father at an early age, and it has always been his clan father Fei Boren who raised him, and this Aunt of Fei Boren is Liu Zhang's mother. In this way, Fei Boren and Liu Zhang, that is the cousin relationship. If you calculate it this way, Fei Guan, as Fei Boren's younger brother, should also be regarded as Liu Zhang's cousin.
Fei Yi followed his father to Yizhou since childhood, and according to my estimation, in fact, the Fei family should be one of the many people who followed Liu Yan into the river. Moreover, the status of the Fei family is still relatively high, after all, Liu Yan's wife is also a member of the Fei family.
Therefore, the relationship between the Fei Yi family and the Liu Zhang family is very unusual, not only is Fei Yi a god man, but his clan father Fei Guan is actually a not simple figure.
<h1>01 Fei Guan is a person who thinks deeply. </h1>
Fei Guan is Liu Zhang's cousin, Liu Zhang's grandfather is Fei Guan's grandfather, there is such a layer of relationship in it, Fei Guan in Yizhou of course will not be bad.
However, Fei Guan seemed to want to go further, so he married his cousin's daughter. The relationship with Liu Zhang, from a cousin, became a son-in-law relationship.
Of course, we don't think it's appropriate now, but in those days, it wasn't a big deal. And Fei Guan's move, of course, is to seek a good future in Yizhou.
Liu Zhang's mother is the clan aunt of Guan Guan, and Zhang is also viewed as a female wife. In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, he watched Li Yanjun, refused to be the lord of Mianzhu first, surrendered to YanJu, and first established Yizhou, worshiped as a general, and then became the governor of Ba County, The Governor of Jiangzhou, and the Marquis of Jianxing in the first year of the capital, and the general Jia Zhenwei. Contemplation is good at handover. All of them protect Li Yan's self-conceited nature, and the rank of protector of the army is inferior to Yan's, and Yan is not related to his relatives; he is young and Yan is more than twenty years old, and he is as old as Yan Tong.

Relying on the relationship between cousins alone, it is naturally impossible to become the core figure of Liu Zhang's group, but if you become Liu Zhang's son-in-law, then you and Liu Zhang can become a family.
Since then, Fei Guan has become a figure in Liu Zhang's core group and participated in the governance of Yizhou. Since Fei Guan has the ability to climb to this position, it means that he has the ability to manage the affairs of Yizhou well.
Historically, fei guan's ability to govern Shuzhong is not much introduced, after all, he is not the core figure of the Three Kingdoms. However, we can see from his personality the ability of Fei Guan as a person.
When Fei Guan was in his twenties, he talked to Li Yan, who was in his forties, like a person of the same generation. Moreover, Fei Guan is more sociable in terms of human beings, which is somewhat similar to Liu Bei.
It can be seen that Fei Guan's mixing in Shu should be quite good. Li Yan belongs to the talents of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er in Shuzhong, and being able to get Li Yan's approval shows that Fei Guan is definitely a talent.
<h1>02 Fei guan judged the situation and finally chose to surrender to Liu Bei. </h1>
As Liu Zhang's son-in-law and cousin, Fei Guan naturally had a reason to help Liu Zhang guard Yizhou's territory. When Liu Bei's army came, Li Yan and Fei Guan were defending Mianzhu.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei's momentum was huge, so Li Yan surrendered to Liu Bei after his defeat. As for Fei Guan, after weighing it up, he also absolutely surrendered to Liu Bei.
As one of the few capable people under Liu Zhang, Li Yan and Fei Guan both chose to surrender to Liu Bei, which shows that Liu Bei is not only outstanding in strength, but also has good popularity.
It may be precisely because of this incident that Liu Zhang completely lost his determination to resist. After three years of fighting, Liu Zhang finally chose to open the door and surrender, accepted Liu Bei's canonization, and was sent to Jingzhou.
The emperors took turns, but the ministers were rarely replaced. The same is true for Fei Guan, although Liu Zhang was taken down, it can only mean that his investment in the first half of his life was a failure, and now it is necessary to re-establish the investment.
What I suspect is that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he definitely had contact with Fei Guan. Liu Bei's purpose in entering Sichuan was to seize Xichuan Yizhou, so when he arrived here, he did not rush to drive away Zhang Lu, but chose to make friends.
His fame and status in Yizhou suddenly increased by eight degrees, which showed the strength of his communication ability. Liu Bei, who loves talent so much, I don't believe he will miss such a talent as Fei Guan.
Therefore, Liu Bei and Fei Guan had a relationship between each other, and even talked about each other's ideals in detail. As a result, Fei Guan had a relatively profound understanding of Liu Bei, and the psychological obstacles in surrender were alleviated a lot.
Giving up his cousin and father-in-law is a more difficult choice, after all, after returning home, Fei Guan will definitely be insulted by his wife. However, we will find that after Fei Guan surrendered to Liu Bei, he was not disappointed.
<h1>03 Liu Bei's reuse of fei guan is also equivalent to reusing the Fei family in Shuzhong. </h1>
After Fei Guan surrendered to Liu Bei, he was appointed as the Taishou of Ba Commandery, the general of Jianwei, and even the marquis of Duting. It can be seen from this that Fei Guan has gained far more benefits and status here than liu Zhang.
So why would Liu Bei, who has nothing to do with Fei Guan, take such a fancy to Fei Guan? In fact, what Liu Bei values is not only Fei Guan as a person, but also the powerful family power behind Fei Guan.
From the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local powerful forces were fully qualified to determine the future fate of the dynasty. For example, Liu Xiu was manipulated by the Hebei clan for a long time.
So when it came to Liu Bei's generation, it was actually the same situation. Liu Biao was subject to the major families in Jingzhou, and in order to consolidate his position, he had to marry the daughter of the Cai family of the Hao clan.
As early as the Jiangxia area, the Fei family was already a rich and prestigious family. After following Liu Yan all the way to Yizhou, the Fei family married Liu Yan, making their family one of the largest families in Shu.
Although Liu Zhang's power has now been banned by Liu Bei, the Fei family's family power is still there. If Liu Bei wanted to sit firmly in the position of Yizhou Pastor, he had to deal with the Fei family.
Holding Fei Guan up, this is just one of the steps. There is no shortage of descendants of the Fei family who have successively entered the DPRK as officials. For example, Fei Yi, who was later a god-man, was Fei Guan's nephew.
The strength of the Fei family did not even dare to underestimate Liu Yan, let alone Liu Bei, who had just entered the river. Although you can't marry the Fei family immediately, at least you can give the other party a good impression first, so as to facilitate the transfer of work in the future.
<h1>04 Fei Guan died at the age of 37, and just saw Liu Chan ascend the throne and left. </h1>
In fact, Fei Guan almost participated in the most brilliant period of Liu Bei's life. Because Liu Bei was still in the ascendancy period at that time, he changed from Jingzhou Mu to Yizhou Mu, and then occupied Hanzhong and Shangsan Counties.
All this Fei Guan was in his eyes, but unfortunately, when Liu Bei was defeated at Yiling, Fei Guan also looked in his eyes. Not long after Liu Bei returned from defeat, Fei Guan died with him. Fei Guan was only 37 years old when he died.
Why is there a lack of talents in Shuzhong? On the one hand, because there were relatively few people in Shu at that time, there were relatively many missing. On the other hand, there is no relatively perfect method for selecting talents in Shuzhong, so that many talents are wasted and lost.
Coupled with Fei Guan's untimely death, it is really not a casual thing to say that the Shu Han talent withered away. After Liu Chan ascended the throne, although Fei Guan died, the Fei family was still prosperous.
After Fei Guan, the Fei family had another Celestial Wizard, that is, Fei Yi. The story of Fei Yi is well known to everyone, he is one of the four phases of the Shu Han Dynasty, and he is the actual successor after Zhuge Liang's death.
Fei Yi zi Wen wei, Jiangxia Yanren. Less lonely, according to the father of the clan BoRen. Bo Rengu, mother of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. Zhang sent envoys to Welcome Ren, and Ren will travel to Shu to learn. Hui Xian's lord Ding Shu, Yi Sui left Yi Tu, and was on a par with Xu Shulong of Runan, and Dong Yun of Nan County. When Xu Jing lost his son, Yun and Yi wanted to meet his burial place. Father Yun Bai and ask for a car, and send a deer car to give it. Allowing the color of the uncarriageable, Yi yi went up first. When it came to the funeral home, Zhuge Liang and the nobles gathered, the car ride was very rare, and Yun Yu looked undeveloped, and Yi Yan was at ease. The car owner also asked, knowing that this was so, but said: "I often doubt the superiority or inferiority of Ru Yu Wenwei, and now and then, I am not willing." --- Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Because Jiang Huan died after not serving as a great general for a few years, when Fei Yi was in power, he was building the country in a serious way. Fei Yi opposed war and insisted on enriching himself first, and then talking about any war.
This incident seemed to have violated the interests of some people, so Fei Yi was actually killed at the banquet. The person who killed him, named Guo Xun, was originally a member of the Sima family's side, but was later captured by Jiang Wei, so he became a person on the side of Shu Han.
No matter how many high-ranking officials Houlu, people didn't seem to care, Guo Xun only cared about Fei Yi's life. Therefore, at the banquet, Fei Yi was killed on the spot by Guo Xun.
After Fei Yi's death, the Fei family no longer had more outstanding talents. Moreover, after Fei Yi died, Shu Han also embarked on a path of death. Under the leadership of Jiang Wei, he had to go out to fight almost every year, and as a result, Shu Han was played badly.
<h1>Summary: Fei Guan and Fei Yi represent the status of the Fei family in the Shu Han Dynasty. </h1>
Many people think that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he divided people into three categories. The first type of person was the concubine he had brought from Jingzhou, which was his most trusted centaur. The second type of people are people and horses brought by Liu Yan from other places, and these people belong to the second class. The third type of people, Yizhou's native centaurs, these people have the lowest status and are not valued by Liu Bei.
In fact, I think what Liu Bei attaches the most importance to is actually this third type of person, including some of the second type of people. He valued the Hao clan among these people.
As early as Eastern Wu, Liu Bei understood a truth, if he wanted to dominate the world, he must get the support of the local Hao clan. Therefore, Liu Bei desperately hoped to get the support of the local Hao clan, including the Fei family.
Fei Guan and Fei Yi were reused by Liu Bei and Liu Chan, which is actually the truth. Don't say that they have natural talents, even if they have no talent, they will still be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, this is a political strategy.
It is better to do well than to marry well, which is a popular saying now. It is precisely because the Fei family is married well, so it has long been an important marriage object between Liu Yan and the Liu Zhang family, and in the Liu Bei period, the Fei family is still so exuberant, in fact, it is related to the Fei family's transfer strategy.
