Feng Changqing

Feng Changqing (Chinese: 封常清; pinyin: Fēng Chángqīng; Wade-Giles: Feng Ch'ang-ch'ing was a general of the Chinese Tang dynasty. Feng was described as ugly in his appearance, and when he first met Gao Xianzhi and asked to be a guard for Gao, Gao initially rejected him, but eventually agreed to take Feng as a soldier under his command. He distinguished himself under the commands of Gao and Wang Zhengjian, particularly in a battle against Greater Bolü in 753, eventually commissioned as a military governor. After failing to defeat An Lushan's rebellion in 755, however, both he and Gao were executed due to accusations against them made by the eunuch Bian Lingcheng.
