冯亭 / Feng Ting

冯亭 / Feng Ting enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·周纪》93丨在梦里藏着偷天改命？（1） as the 韩国 official responsible for the isolated 上党 crisis. After 秦国 cuts Shangdang’s route back to Han, Feng Ting faces a choice between likely failed defense and surrender to Qin.

The episode presents his answer as political design under desperation. Feng Ting consults the local population and proposes giving Shangdang’s seventeen cities, land, and people to 赵国. If Zhao accepts, Qin will be forced to attack Zhao, and Zhao will have reason to combine with Han against Qin.

Feng Ting’s role is therefore not simple defection. He turns a lost Han frontier into a coercive invitation for Zhao, converting 交通线切割 into a wider interstate crisis and making Shangdang look like a gift while carrying Qin’s retaliation inside it.

《资治通鉴·周纪》93丨在梦里藏着偷天改命？（2） follows the offer into Zhao’s acceptance. 赵丹 / 赵孝成王 grants Feng Ting the Huayang Jun title and three large cities, but the episode says Feng Ting weeps and refuses to present himself as someone who sold his ruler’s land for personal reward. It keeps his sincerity open, then records variant afterlives: one tradition has him later dying with 赵括 at 长平之战, while a 《战国策》 version says he rejects Zhao’s reward and returns to Han.

《资治通鉴·周纪》94丨杀神白起，长平之战中的“草包”名将？（3） returns to Feng Ting in the final responsibility chain after Changping. The host criticizes him as the official whose unauthorized transfer of Shangdang created the originating cause of the war, even before 赵丹 / 赵孝成王’s greed for the territory and 赵括’s failed command turned that cause into catastrophic loss. This adds a sharper responsibility judgment to the earlier source-scoped uncertainty over Feng Ting’s motives and later fate.
