郭秀和士開穆提婆高阿那肱韓鳳韓寶業等 Guo Xiu, He Shikai, Mu Tipo, Gao Anagujin, Han Feng, Han Baoye, and the like

韓鳳，字長鸞，昌黎人也。 Han Feng, styled Changluan, was from Changli.

鳳少而聰察，有膂力，善騎射。 From youth Feng was sharp-eyed and strong, skilled at mounted archery.

後主居東宮，年幼稚，世祖簡都督二十人送令侍衛，鳳在其數。 While the young Later Lord lived in the Eastern Palace, Shizu chose twenty area commanders to guard him; Feng was one.

後主親就衆中牽鳳手曰：「都督看兒來。」 The prince went among them, took Feng's hand, and said, "Commander, look after my boy."

因此被識，數喚共戲。 Feng was remembered and often called to play with him.

後主卽位，累遷侍中、領軍，總知內省機密。 When the Later Lord took the throne, Feng rose to Attendant-in-Ordinary and Army Director with charge of inner secrets.

祖珽曾與鳳於後主前論事。 Zu Ting once debated policy with Feng before the Later Lord.

語鳳云：「強弓長槊，無容相謝，軍國謀算，何由得爭。」 Zu said, "Strong bow and long spear admit no yielding—how can we compete in statecraft?"

鳳答曰：「各出意見，豈在文武優劣？」 Feng replied, "Each speaks his mind—what has civil or military rank to do with it?"

封昌黎郡王。 He was made Prince of Changli Commandery.

其公主生男滿月，駕幸鳳宅，宴會盡日。 When the princess's son reached his first month, the emperor visited Feng's house and feasted all day.

壽陽陷沒，鳳與穆提婆聞告敗，握槊不輟，曰：「他家物，從他去。」 When Shouyang fell, Feng and Mu Tipo kept playing polo and said, "Another man's loss—let it go."

鳳母鮮于，段孝言之從母子姊也，為此偏相參附，奏遣監造晉陽宮。 Feng's mother Xianyu was Duan Xiaoyan's maternal cousin; Feng favored Xiaoyan and had him sent to supervise the Jinyang palace.

鳳及穆提婆亦遣孝言分工匠為己造宅，德信還具奏聞。 Feng and Mu Tipo had Xiaoyan assign craftsmen to build their houses; Dexin reported it all to the throne.

上因此發忿，與提婆並除名，亦不露其罪。 The emperor struck Feng and Tipo from the rolls in anger but did not publish their crimes.

及後主晉陽走還，被勑入內，尋詔復爵。 When the Later Lord fled back from Jinyang, Feng was summoned in and soon restored to rank.

鳳於權要之中，尤嫉人士，崔季舒等冤酷，皆鳳所為。 Feng hated the gentry above all; Cui Jishu’s cruel fate was his work.
