How to evaluate Feng Tang objectively?

Talented people are abundant, but Bole is hard to find.

The historical evaluation is as follows:

Sima Qian: Zhang Jizhi speaks as an elder and is not satisfied with obeying the law; Feng Gong's theory of command is delicious! What is that smell! As the saying goes, "You don't know who you are, but you see your friends." The chanting mentioned by the two gentlemen can be described as a gallery temple. The book says, "impartial, the king swings; If the party is not biased, the king will poop. "Zhang Jihe and Feng Gong are all nearby.

Ban Gu: How can Zhang Shizhi's self-discipline, Feng Tang's general theory, Ji An's integrity and integrity, and Zheng's contemporary judgment be famous? Yang Zi thought Emperor Xiaowen respected Yafu's army, but thought it was impossible to use Pei and Mu's army. He'll be excited.

Zuo Si: Feng Gong is not great, but he will never move.

Sima Zhen: The bald heads in Feng Gong are delicious. Shang Wei was praised for Ricky.

Wang Bo: Feng Tang is old, but Li Guang is hard to seal.

Lv Mengzheng: Li Guang has the power to shoot tigers, not to be old; Feng Tang has the talent of Lapras, but he has never met him in his life. ?

Brief introduction of Feng Tang

Feng Tang, a native of Western Han County (now Yuxian County, Zhangjiakou), was a minister of the Western Han Dynasty. His grandfather came from Zhong Qiu during the Warring States Period, and his father moved to Dai Di. He was famous for his filial piety, and served Emperor China as a corps commander.

Once Wendi met Feng Tang by bus. Speaking of Zhao Jiangliqi's talent, he felt that he had no generals like Lian Po and Li Mu to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. Feng Tang bluntly said: "Even if there is such a general, you will not be appointed." Emperor Wen was furious and got up and went back to the palace. Later, Emperor Wen summoned him and accused him of bring disgrace to oneself in public. Feng Tang apologized and said, "I am a humble person who doesn't know how to avoid it."

At that time, the Huns invaded on a large scale and killed a Sun named Sun Jian. When Emperor Wendi asked Feng Tang why he spoke at the beginning, Feng Tang replied: If you are not in your hometown, your life will be different. If you want to support frontier generals, you need appropriate rewards and punishments.

He also advocated forgiving Shang Wei for lying about the number of people killed at that time and continuing to support him in guarding the border. Wendi agreed with Feng Tang's advice and sent him to pardon Shang Wei and restore his position as the county magistrate in Yunzhong. Feng Tang was also appointed as the captain of chariots and horses to assist in the battle.

After Han Jing ascended the throne, Feng Tang was appointed as Chu Xiang, but was soon dismissed. After the death of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ascended the throne. At that time, the Huns invaded the frontier, and the emperor recruited wise men. Although Feng Tang was recommended again, he was over ninety years old and could only appoint his son Feng Sui as Lang.

Because Feng Tang became an official too late, and because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was over 70 years old, he was overwhelmed. Later scholars usually use Feng Tang to describe "it is difficult to achieve greatness when you are old".
