"General of the Big Tree" Feng Yi

Many years later, Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu, who was already on high, would probably still miss the person he always trusted. That person was Feng Yi.

Regenerative people will also have a soft side. At the beginning, because his brother Liu Xiu was killed, although Liu Xiu was very sad in his heart, he did not dare to show it, and could only sit alone and cry. Feng often went to comfort him, and later persuaded and helped Liu Xiu to develop his power and strengthen himself in Hebei. During a certain war, when the troops were hungry and tired and had no food, Feng Yi found red bean porridge for Liu Xiu; and then when he was cold and hungry, Feng Yi offered "wheat rice" and "shoulders".

This friendship forged during the fall of the year and in the midst of war is very sincere and reliable. In ancient times, when fighting wars, the monarch would leave the wives and children of the generals on the expedition behind, called protection, and actually be taken hostages to prevent rebellion. Liu Xiu was relieved to let Feng Yi take his wife and children on the expedition, which was already absolute trust.

Objectively speaking, Feng Yi's military ability is far from the point of shaking the ancient world, and if he wants to win the battle, he needs more "routines." In the Battle of Luoyang, Feng Yi led 100,000 troops to attack 300,000 garrisons, and it was very difficult to fight with real knives and guns. He then wrote a letter to the enemy general Li Yi, and successfully separated himself, prompting him to remain still. After clearing the outskirts of Luoyang, he deliberately revealed Li Yi's surrender to his superior, Zhu Kun. Zhu Kun was furious and sent someone to kill Li Yi, and finally surrendered himself. Luoyang's 300,000-strong army was defeated by Feng Yi's strategy.

Later, against the Chimei Army, Feng Yi repeatedly lost battles, and he thought of a "routine". He sent people to change into the clothes of the Red Brow Army and mixed with the opposing army to kill indiscriminately, causing chaos, and eventually causing the Red Brow Army to collapse into an army. This battle, in addition to its military significance, is also of high literary value, leaving two idioms for posterity: "Cut through thorns and thorns" and "Lose the east corner, harvest the mulberry elm".

Liu Xiu's army fought for the first time and suffered a crushing defeat. Feng Yi led his army forward to support, and the generals persuaded the enemy to be menacing to avoid the front, and he tried his best to defy the crowd and galloped to seize Liyi. Of course, he still did not forget to play the "routine", ordered the army to put an end to the flag, close the city gate, wait for the enemy to swing to the city, suddenly swing out of the division, defeat the enemy army, and stabilize the battle situation.

According to common sense, he is an "old iron" with the emperor, and even if he is slightly arrogant, he will not have anything to do. But This was not the case with Feng Yi. As the most important general under Liu Xiu, when he met other generals on the road, regardless of the status of the other party, he would let people drive the car aside and let others pass first. After each battle, the generals would always give themselves credit for themselves, saying how mighty and how meritorious they were, in order to ask Liu Xiu for a reward. When others competed for merit, Feng Yi always hid under the big tree by himself, never competing for the merit name, hence the name "General of the Big Tree".

"General of the Great Tree" Feng Yi, just by modesty and holding these four words, is enough to rank among the famous generals. After all, it is easy to conquer and discipline oneself, it is easy to be arrogant, it is difficult to endure, it is easy to strive for merit, and it is difficult to overcome desires, and what he has done is the most difficult thing.
