The Five Dynasties were the most turbulent years in Chinese history, when the world was in chaos, and in the fifty-three years, Yi Wu surnamed Thirteen Jun. In this chaotic world, Feng Hui, a High Tang man in Shandong, completed a gorgeous turn from the grassroots to a feudal official.
Feng Hui's early family lineage is unknown, and he joined the army in the chaotic battle of the late Tang Dynasty, and was selected to be promoted to the silver gun school of Yang Shihou's personal escort unit after Liang Weibo Jiedushi, and was promoted to captain for military merit. After Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang occupied Wei Prefecture, he placed 8,000 men of the Silver Gun Army under his command, and Feng Hui took advantage of the confrontation between Later Tang and Later Liang to flee into the Liang army, and was under the weight of Later Liang's general Wang Yanzhang. After the fall of Later Liang, Li Cunxun did not pursue Feng Hui for defecting. Feng Hui followed Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan in his conquest of Yang Li, and followed the Wei king Li Ji (李继岌平蜀) and made many military achievements, and was promoted to the post of Assassin of Fu and Xing'er Prefecture. In 932, Dong Zhang rebelled in Dongchuan, and Feng Hui followed the later Later Jin Dynasty Emperor Shi Jingyao to attack Dong Zhang, and the army went to Jianmen, because there were soldiers who could not enter, Feng Hui unexpectedly detoured from the path to the east of Jianmen and eliminated the rebels defending the city. Shi Jingyao led the army to return to China in victory and promoted Feng Hui to be the assassin of Liaozhou.
Later Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxun
During the Later Jin Dynasty, Feng Hui, as a subordinate of Fan Yanguang, rebelled with him in Wei Prefecture. The Jin army shot the city with two hundred arrows, announced the pardon of the Wei people, and rewarded those who could behead Fan Yanguang. However, the city of Weizhou was difficult to defeat, and the attack was not conquered for more than a year, and the old master was poor. Zong Zheng shi shu wrote a letter of advice, please forgive Yan Guang, willing to enter the speech with a bicycle and surrender. Later Jin Gaozu Shi Jingyao also repented. In September of the third year of Tianfu, the Jin envoys entered Wei to pardon Yanguang, and Yanguang led his troops to surrender, and was crowned as the King of Dongping Commandery and the Tianping Army Jiedushi Envoy, and Feng Hui was awarded the title of Envoy of the Army festival and moved to Lingwu.
Since Emperor Mingzong of Tang, Lingwu has sold horses to buy millet, recruited various ethnic minorities, rewarded non-commissioned officers, and spent 60 million yuan a year. From the west of Tongguan, the number of conscripts transported was unbearable for the people, so there were many exiles. Between Qinggang and Tuqiao, the Qiang, Qiang and other tribes robbed on the trade routes, and business trips were protected by the army. As soon as Feng Hui took office, he used endeavor to push the administration of affairs, and the tribes thanked him for his favor and stopped invading and plundering. Feng Hui ordered the soldiers to carry out large-scale tun tian, reduce the cost of grain and salary transfer, build more than a thousand warehouses and pavilions, do not increase the people's taxes, and manage the area well. Emperor Gaozu of Jin issued an edict of praise.

Tuoba Yanchao of the Dangxiang clan is the largest tribe in the local area, and other tribes often decide to turn their backs on Yanchao's movements. After Feng Hui arrived in Lingwu, Yan Chao came to see him, and Feng Hui left him behind, giving him a rich reward for building a house in the city, and making sure to satisfy him. After Yan Chao stayed, the tribes competed to send sheep and horses to the market for trading, and Feng Hui got 5,000 horses a year. Emperor Jin saw that Feng Hui had bought so many horses and won the favor of the ethnic minorities, but instead regarded Feng Hui as a threat and asked him to move to Jing and Protect His Righteousness. In the middle of the year, he recalled the commander of the Imperial Guard Infantry Army, and also led the Heyang Jiedu envoy. Only then did Feng Hui realize that Jin had the intention of guarding against himself. At this time, Emperor Shi Zhonggui fainted, Feng Yu, Li Yantao, and others took power, and Feng Huiqu served, so he was given the opportunity to guard Lingwu again. At that time, Wang Lingwen Lingwu lost the hearts and minds of the tribes and became a serious border problem. Feng Hui then pleaded: "Now that the imperial court is in many ways, it is certainly impossible to send troops to assist me, and I hope that I can recruit troops to defend myself." More than a thousand people were recruited, and when they walked to Meishu, all the tribes came to see each other, and Feng Hui looked at one of the leaders, pointed to his sword, and said, "This is the sword of the Banqiao Wang Clan, right?" I heard that the Wang's sword is a well-known good weapon in the world! Bowing his head and taking the sword from the other's waist, as if ready to play with this sword, he suddenly took the opportunity to kill the leader, and more than a dozen of his entourage were also killed. General Pei Said, "There are five or six hundred miles to Lingwu Shang here, what should I do?" Feng Hui smiled and said, "The clan is strong and strong, and I can kill him, how dare other people have non-divisional actions?" Soon all the tribes sent troops to guard the road, Feng Hui used good words to persuade them to submit, only the clan that had killed the leader asked for a decisive battle, Feng Hui immediately engaged them and defeated and drove them away, and all the tribes did not dare to move again. Feng Hui went to Lingwu to appease the border tribes, and in Lingwu for more than ten years, he was outstanding in his faith.
Feng Hui was given the title of King of Chen Liu. Later Zhou Guangshun died three years later and was posthumously honored as the King of Wei. In April 1992, the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, excavated the tomb of Feng Hui in Erqiao Village, Didian Township, Binxian County, and unearthed more than 100 cultural relics. The epitaph records Feng Hui's deeds in the Five Dynasties, and in the Later Zhou Dynasty, "Zhou Gaozu descended to prepare gifts, crowned the king, Jia Tuicheng Fengyi Tongde Yi Dai Gongchen, Kaifu Yi Tongsan Division, Inspector Taishi and Zhongshu Ling, Chen Liujun Wang", "On May 25, 25th of the year of Nongzi, he died in the office and lived for fifty-nine years." At the end of the summer, the King of Wei was given", "Xiande was buried in Lubao Village, Linjing Township, Xinping County, Yingzhou", indicating that the burial time was five years after Emperor Xiande of Zhou Shizong. Feng Hui died in the second year of Later Zhou Taizu Guangshun (952), but the burial time was five years of Xiande, with an interval of 6 years, during which Feng Hui's eldest son, second son, and fourth son all died one after another, and when he was buried, his seventh son Feng Jiye was "left behind" by Shuo Fangjun and actually controlled the Shuo Fang Army, and the epitaph avoided the historical facts of Feng Hui's seventh son killing his brother and establishing himself.
