Mi Han

Chapter 682: The Anti-General's Army Is Sweating

Chapter 682: Counterattack, Cold Sweating

Facing Liu Chan's clear and silly gaze, Mi Yang stood up, bowed to him and said:

"The reason why Sun Quan is so sure that our dynasty will accept Sun's body is because of the so-called integrity and righteousness."

Since Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei had been divorced in the official Han Dynasty, Mi Yang called Sun Shangxiang "Ms. Sun".

Mi Yang's words revealed the point that Sun Quan thought he could control the Han Dynasty.

After all, the Han Dynasty has always boasted of being the orthodox dynasty of the world, and Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is a well-known man of benevolence and righteousness. This is why "a gentleman can be deceived by tricks". This is exactly the reason.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

But Mi Yang's tone was firm and his eyes were wise, which made Zhuge Liang realize that Mi Yang must have a way to crack Sun Quan's sinister intentions.

Therefore, the next moment, there was another expectant look towards Mi Yang.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, Mi Yang expressed his views on the matter:

"We cannot bring Sun's body into Chang'an as the wife of the late emperor."

Mi Yang's attitude towards this point is very firm.

Because if this is not done, it would undoubtedly be fulfilling Sun Quan's wish and giving a hard slap to the deceased Liu Bei.

After hearing Mi Yang's firm attitude, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly. He held the same attitude as Mi Yang.

It’s easy to show an attitude, but a proper solution is more important.

What did not disappoint Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan was that Mi Yang's next answer made Uncle Zhang San so happy that he stood up.

"Sun Quan wants to use the words 'integrity' and 'righteousness' to control our dynasty, but doesn't Sun Quan know that there are different levels of integrity and righteousness?"

"Chastity between husband and wife is a minor matter; chastity between ruler and subject is a major matter.

The Book of Songs says: All under heaven is the king's land; all the people in the world are the king's subjects;

Even though Sun Quan risked the world's condemnation by proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country, wasn't there a few loyal ministers in Jiangdong?

I believe that Sun followed the late emperor not out of affection for his wife, but out of righteousness for the relationship between the emperor and his subjects for four hundred years, and out of the hundred years of loyalty and righteousness of the Wujun Sun family, who despised Sun Quan's behavior and threw themselves into the river in anger. "

As soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, Zhang Fei's loud laughter suddenly appeared in Chaoyang Palace.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

While praising Mi Yang, Zhang Fei walked straight to Mi Yang, patted him on the shoulder and continued with a smile:

"How could I have forgotten that you had the ability to speak cunningly and cleverly when we were in Jingzhou?"

Zhang Fei's praise of Mi Yang was genuine, but when Mi Yang heard Zhang Fei's praise, why did he always feel something strange?

Uncle San, sometimes it’s good if you just smile and don’t praise me.

While Zhang Fei was laughing, a smile also appeared on Zhuge Liang's face - it was really wonderful.

Mi Yang's words fundamentally resolved Sun Quan's concerns that Sun Shangxiang's body would bring discredit to the Han Dynasty.

The most important thing is that if everything is done as Mi Yang said, then it will be Sun Quan who will be embarrassed in front of the world.

Even his own sister despised his betrayal of the Han Dynasty, and he even committed suicide by jumping into the river as a form of resistance. The Wu Dynasty established by Sun Quan under this tragic atmosphere would only arouse disgust and disdain in the hearts of most people in the world.

In this way, the idea that the Han Dynasty is the orthodox power in the world can be deepened in people's minds.

Killing three birds with one stone, how can that not be great?

Liu Chan, who was sitting on the throne, did not think as deeply as Zhuge Liang, but when he saw that Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang both agreed with Mi Yang's words, he knew what he should do next.

"What the Grand Marshal said is correct. I will draft an edict right now and announce everything to the world according to what the Grand Marshal said."

Liu Chan, who felt that he had dealt with a difficult matter, seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

Mi Yang then made a suggestion:

"According to the memorial submitted by the General Zhendong, in a few days at most, the envoys from the rebels against Wu will arrive outside the city of Chang'an.

I will take charge of all matters related to welcoming the anti-Wu envoys."

Mi Yang's sudden request was beyond Liu Chan's expectations.

According to past practice, when an envoy came to visit, it was usually the Taichang who was in charge of such matters.

As Mi Yang was the Grand Marshal of the Han Dynasty, it was not that he could not take care of such matters. It could only be said that he was responsible for such matters and he overestimated the envoy sent by Sun Quan.

"The Grand Marshal is very busy, and a few envoys won't overwork him."

Liu Chan expressed his concern for Mi Yang at the right time - what kind of cattle and horses are worthy of his Grand Marshal to go and greet them?

Facing Liu Chan's concern, Mi Yang smiled and told Liu Chan the reason why he asked for the position:

"When Sun Quan's son was a child, he was like a fly in the toilet. It was like a fly that kept roaming around. When he drove it away, it would come back again. He was always thinking of despicable and disgusting plans.

It may be okay once or twice, but if you allow it to happen all the time, it may disturb the peace of our Han people!

I am willing to serve Your Majesty forever."

Mi Yang has never been a good-tempered person, especially towards Sun Quan.

Once and for all?

Mi Yang's metaphor of Sun Quan aroused the same feelings of Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei.

But what method can be used to completely get rid of Sun Quan, this annoying big fly?

Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei all showed deep anticipation in their eyes.

At this moment the three of them vaguely remembered that before ravaging the Wei army, ravaging Jiangdong was Mi Yang's specialty!

Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Great, Grand Marshal, please do as you please. I will wait and see."

In the vast Guanzhong land, a delegation of about a hundred people was marching slowly.

The delegation was led by Zhang Wen, who was sent to Chang'an on the orders of Emperor Sun Quan.

Being appointed as the chief envoy by Sun Quan, Zhang Wen was naturally highly valued by Sun Quan.

In terms of reputation, Zhang Wen was not only a leader among the famous scholars in Jiangdong, but also had a great reputation throughout the world.

When it comes to eloquence and culture, Zhang Wen, who has been smart and well-educated since childhood, often performs amazingly.

However, Zhang Wen, who was placed with high hopes by Sun Quan, had an expression of surprise on his face from time to time when he lifted the curtain and looked out while sitting in the carriage.

In Zhang Wen's eyes, the newly cultivated fields were emitting a pleasing glow under the sunlight.

And in the vast fields that seem endless, many old farmers in brown clothes are working hard to sow seeds in the fields with their families.

Under long-term exposure to sunlight, people will inevitably feel hot.

But even though his face was covered in sweat, in Zhang Wen's sight, he could not see any signs of fatigue on the faces of the people working in the fields.

On the contrary, almost every working citizen has a happy smile on his face.

Of course, what can prove the happiness of the people in Guanzhong is not only the smiles on their faces, but also the songs wishing for a good harvest that fill the sky and earth from time to time.

As they got closer to Chang'an City, Zhang Wen saw more than that.

Zhang Wen could vaguely see that among the crisscrossing fields, there were some strong men running around supervising the work.

Those strong men were all disabled, but their faces showed the determination that could only be seen on the faces of elite soldiers. This made Zhang Wen realize that these people were most likely the "Three Leaders".

Jiangdong has always regarded Mi Yang as its number one enemy, so all actions related to Mi Yang have always been the top priority of Dongwu's intelligence.

In this case, Zhang Wen, as an important official in Jiangdong, could naturally not be unaware of the "Three Chiefs System" that had caused the unrest in Liangzhou.

As a member of an aristocratic family, Zhang Wen instinctively disliked the "Three-Chief System". When he was in Jiangdong, Zhang Wen often heard his friends mock Mi Yang's "Three-Chief System" as a means for him to seize power and profit.

The three leaders who directly control the grassroots are all disabled Han soldiers.

For Mi Yang, who has unparalleled reputation in the Han army, couldn't he use this move to allow his authority to penetrate into every aspect of society?

A group of famous scholars in Jiangdong who thought they saw through Mi Yang's plot had all ridiculed Mi Yang's wolfish ambition.

But after entering Guanzhong in person, Zhang Wen could clearly feel that the "Three-Chief System" seemed not to be as terrible as rumored.

Otherwise, why would the common people at the bottom of society show no fear at all when faced with the "reprimand" from the three leaders?

What Zhang Wen didn't know was that the three elders who were shuttling between the ridges of the fields were not reprimanding the people working in the fields, but teaching them.

Guanzhong had been in turmoil for many years, with tens of thousands of refugees everywhere. After the Han army entered Chang'an, Zhuge Liang began to plan for the resettlement of the refugees.

The refugees have been fleeing for many years, and land is a luxury for them. As a result, many young refugees do not know how to work.

But the world at that time was not like later times. The crop yield at that time was highly dependent on the experience and skills of the farmers.

Therefore, in order to train the young refugees in farming skills as quickly as possible, Zhuge Liang ordered the three chiefs to teach them in the fields every day.

No matter how low the third-ranking official is, he is still an official after all.

In the past, it was considered good enough if officials did not harm the people, let alone teach the people without avoiding hardships.

This was something that only existed in the fantasies of ancient books, but unexpectedly, it actually happened in front of Zhang Wen's eyes today.

The clever Zhang Wen soon discovered this through continuous observation.

After realizing this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but sigh while looking envious.

Because at this moment Zhang Wen also understood why every citizen had a happy smile on his face. The reason was nothing more than the "equal field system" that actually distributed land.

Zhang Wen was sighing that while the people's livelihood was booming and the Han Dynasty was full of vitality, Jiangdong was still in a life of decadence and decadence, and was unreasonably criticizing the Han Dynasty's "New Deal".

Not only was Zhang Wen on the carriage, but there was also a famous scholar sitting next to Zhang Wen.

This famous scholar was Zhang Wen's deputy envoy, named Zhou Yu.

Although Zhou Cang is not as famous as Zhang Wen, he is also one of the heroes who have risen to fame in Jiangdong in recent years.

Sun Quan specifically appointed Zhou Cang as Zhang Wen's deputy envoy because Zhou Cang was more alert than Zhang Wen and could accomplish some things for him in private.

When the alert Zhou Qian saw Zhang Wen's contradictory expression, black lines began to appear on his face.

Has he forgotten who he is?

Out of respect for Zhang Wen, the chief envoy, Zhou Qian, who felt that he might have misunderstood him, could not help but ask:

"Why is Mr. Zhang sighing?"

After hearing Zhou Cang's question, Zhang Wen, who was in a hurry to vent his thoughts to others, immediately answered:

“I have heard before that Lord Kong Ming is unrivalled in governing the country. Now that I have seen the people’s livelihood in Guanzhong, I know that what he said is true.

It has only been a few months since the Battle of Guanzhong ended, and within this short period of time, Lord Kongming was able to pacify the restless refugees and reclaim large tracts of barren land. Such good governance is comparable to that of the ancient sages. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wen seemed to be still unsatisfied and was thinking about saying something else.

But just as Zhang Wen was about to speak, Zhou Cang, who couldn't bear to listen any longer, couldn't help but say:

"Zhang Huishu, don't forget why His Majesty sent us here this time!"

"Before I left, His Majesty held our hands and told us many times what was that?"

Zhou Qian's two consecutive questions choked Zhang Wen instantly.

How could Zhang Wen forget?

"Publicize Liu's evil deeds, but do not insult the dignity of the state."

Thinking of the two things Sun Quan had told him, Zhang Wen immediately fell silent.

As a famous scholar, it is his duty to serve the country without bringing disgrace to the country.

But if given a choice, Zhang Wen really didn't want to do the so-called Yang Liu's evil.

However, as a minister, one often has no choice.

Seeing that Zhang Wen finally fell silent, Zhou Qian said in one breath:

"After Liu the traitor died, Mi the traitor was the most hateful one in the Western Dynasty.

In addition, the bandits are notorious, and when they learn that we are coming, I wonder what kind of despicable means they will come up with to humiliate us.

Although we dare not compare ourselves to Tang Ju and Ban Chao, we should also show the great power of Dongwu. "

"In order to avoid being humiliated by the thieves, why should I fear death?"

I don’t know whether Zhou Qian was cheering for Zhang Wen or himself, but his words were very firm.

It should be said that after Zhou Qian said this, he felt as if his body was glowing.

Under Zhou Qian's influence, Zhang Wen's expression gradually became firm.

If the up-and-coming talents have such courage, what about me?

Just as Zhang Wen and Zhou Qian smiled at each other, thinking about jointly composing a generous diplomatic example, the two people sitting in the carriage noticed some unusual movements.

They felt the ground shaking.

At first they thought it was an illusion. How could the ground move for no reason?

But as time went on, they realized, with their hands trembling slightly, that this was not an illusion.

After realizing this, Zhang Wen and Zhou Qian, who were somewhat panicked, hurriedly called the car team to stop the car, and then the two of them got out of the car together and looked around.

After the convoy stopped, the vibration coming from the ground became stronger and stronger. As they observed, Zhang Wen and Zhou Qian also discovered where the vibration came from.

From the direction of Chang'an in the distance, there was a large cloud of smoke and dust emerging, which seemed to be able to cover the sky.

The vast expanse of smoke and dust was like a demonic barrier that could devour everything, rapidly approaching them with a rumbling sound and unstoppable force.

How could Zhang Wen and Zhou Qiang, who had rarely been to the battlefield, have ever seen such a scene?

Soon, an emotion called fear emerged in the hearts of Zhang Wen and Zhou Qian.

This emotion was aroused to the maximum when Zhang Wen and Zhou Qian saw a flag flying high.

The flag was engraved with four characters in a flamboyant style:

"General Tiance!"

he came? !

Subconsciously, Zhou Qian nervously held Zhang Wen's hand.

At this moment Zhang Wen noticed that Zhou Qian's palms were very wet!
