Feng attacked and killed them, to ensure that the tributes would properly reach Emperor Xizong. Meanwhile, there were bandits to the west of Jun who frequently intercepted the tributes that the eastern circuits were submitting to Emperor Xizong at Chengdu. When Liu Jurong ( 劉巨容) the military governor ( Jiedushi) of Shannan East Circuit (山南東道, headquartered in modern Xiangyang, Hubei), which Jun Prefecture belonged to, reported this to then-reigning Emperor Xizong, who was then at Chengdu (the imperial capital Chang'an having fallen to the agrarian rebel Huang Chao at that time), Feng was commissioned as the prefect of Jun. Following his success Feng also had Lü Ye expelled. His army, left north of the Han River, collapsed and fled. The soldiers that Feng had hidden then ambushed Sun, and Feng himself killed Sun and the few followers he had with him. Once Sun crossed the river, the Jun Prefecture soldiers all went to Sun, ostensibly to show respect. Sun was pleased and did not suspect Feng. I, Feng Xingxi, will serve as your forward messenger to report to the people of the prefecture. You should leave your army north of the river and just take your closest followers with you on horses. The people of the prefecture fear their pillaging, and therefore are afraid of you. But your followers, Lord, are too numerous. The people of the prefecture will be glad to have you as our good prefect. The prefect Lü Ye ( 呂燁) was panicking, but Feng reacted by hiding the troops and then personally, without escort, going to see Sun, to state to him: In or shortly before 884, there was an incident where the agrarian rebel leader Sun Xi ( 孫喜) gathered several thousand people and prepared to attack Jun Prefecture. At one point, he became an officer at Jun Prefecture ( 均州), which Wudang was part of. It is not known when Feng Xingxi was born, but it is known that he was from Wudang (武當, in modern Shiyan, Hubei), and that he was known in his home territory for his strategies and his bravery.
