Chapter 519
Chapter 519
In October of the fourth year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Bei entered Liangzhou from Jiange.
Mi Yang, who got the news in advance, led a group of civil and military ministers from Liangzhou to wait for Liu Bei outside the city gate.
When the sunlight in the sky was getting dimmer, Mi Yang, who had been waiting for nearly a whole day, finally saw a large number of Habayashi soldiers appearing in the mottled afterglow of the setting sun.
The Yulin Army is Liu Bei's pro-army, and their appearance also means that Liu Bei is not far away.
But before Mi Yang caught his gaze for a long time, a figure that he hadn't seen for a long time, but whom he missed countless times in his heart, appeared in his sight.
In front of the formation of thousands of feathered forest troops, a white-haired emperor did not wear the dignified and solemn emperor's crown, but instead wore armor and sat on a tall steed, heading towards Nanzheng City. go ahead.
Just as Mi Yang is looking for Liu Bei's figure, why is Liu Bei who is sitting high on the horse not looking for Mi Yang's figure?
In an instant, the gazes of a monarch and a minister suddenly met in the air.
After the two pairs of handsome eyes met, Liu Bei and Mi Yang subconsciously showed smiles on their faces.
For the world, Liu Bei is the founding king who created a great man again, and his achievements are comparable to those of his ancestors.
In the eyes of the world, the relationship between Liu Bei and Mi Yang is an extremely harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers, just like Emperor Xiaowu and Huo Da Sima a hundred years ago.
But in the hearts of Liu Bei and Mi Yang, the relationship between each other and themselves is not as simple as a monarch and a minister.
After seeing Mi Yang's figure, Liu Bei happily waved his horsewhip to speed up his speed instantly.
Not long after, Liu Bei, who rode first, came in front of Mi Yang.
When the ministers behind Mi Yang saw Liu Bei coming, they immediately saluted Liu Bei, but Liu Bei turned a blind eye to the salute from the ministers, and his eyes were only on Mi Yang at this moment.
"My great general, how are you doing recently!"
When Liu Bei said this, a hearty laugh came out of his mouth.
This loud laughter proved his uncontrollable joy after seeing Mi Yang.
Facing Liu Bei's greetings, Mi Yang was also overjoyed.
He bowed to Liu Bei who was on the horse: "Everything is fine, sir.
It's just that I miss His Majesty very much. "
Even though there were thousands of soldiers standing around, even if there were hundreds of officials gathered behind him, Mi Yang still said this without any scruples.
After hearing Mi Yang's heartfelt voice, Liu Bei's laughter never stopped.
When Mi Yang's ministers heard the first words that the pair of monarchs and ministers said to each other after meeting, they were all surprised.
You must know that the identities of Liu Bei and Mi Yang are not simple, and it is the moment when the Han army is preparing for war and the Northern Expedition is about to begin.
When Liu Bei, the emperor, met Mi Yang, the great general, what the two of them immediately talked about was not about state affairs, but about venting their personal feelings.
This gave the ministers present a strong sense of disobedience.
I have heard long ago that the personal relationship between the General and His Majesty is very good, but seeing them today, how can the relationship between the two of them be described as excellent?
It is appropriate to describe it clearly as a father and son.
But Jiang Wei, one of the ministers, suddenly thought of something after seeing this scene.
When Guo Huai learned that Mi Yang had defeated Cao Zhen, he was shocked, and at the same time quickly made an inference in order to appease the morale of the army - after this battle, Mi Yang might be overwhelmed by the master.
It is definitely not a good word for a general to have a high meritorious service, and it is difficult for a famous general with a high meritorious service to end well.
But after seeing today's situation, Jiang Wei sneered at Guo Huai's inference.
As far as the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is concerned, Cao Wei still wants to divorce?
Simply ridiculous.
After expressing a burst of satisfied laughter, Liu Bei leaned forward and said to Mi Yang:
"The sky is going to be dark, the general hastened to bring me into the city.
Could it be that the general wants me to sleep in the wild? "
Liu Bei's joke made Mi Yang feel a little funny, but he didn't show it on the surface.
He bowed to Liu Bei's horse, took the reins for Liu Bei himself, and then pulled the horse and led Liu Bei to Nanzheng City.
At this moment, the Habayashi Army has not yet arrived at the city.
But there was no need for the Yulin Army to enter the city in advance to investigate hidden dangers. Liu Bei just let Mi Yang, who is "highly accomplished", slowly bring him into Nanzheng City.
Seeing Mi Yang leading the way for him, Liu Bei's eyes showed nostalgia.
Mi Yang was raised by his side when he was a child.
Because of his debt to the Mi family and the fact that Liu Bei had no young heirs at that time, he really loved and cultivated Mi Yang as a son.
The young Mi Yang may have been very timid because he had fled for many years. At that time, in order to exercise Mi Yang's courage, he specially took Mi Yang out of Xinye City and taught him riding skills in person.
It's a pity that his timid character can be corrected in a short while.
At the beginning, Mi Yang completely regarded his riding teaching activities as a kind of outing entertainment.
And whenever the sun goes down, he will sit on the horse with Mi Yang in his arms, and protect him as he walks towards Xinye City.
There seems to be a lot of overlap between the situation back then and the current situation.
The only thing that has changed is that he is old and Mi Yang has grown up.
More than a decade is enough to change many things. He is no longer the left general who depends on others, and Mi Yang is not the general corner child who panics when things happen.
For Liu Bei, the most surprising and gratifying change in his heart is that he protected Mi Yang and led the way for Mi Yang back then, but now it is Mi Yang who supports him and walks towards the distant Guanzhong step by step.
It's such a good feeling.
And maybe Mi Yang had a similar feeling, so he didn't take the initiative to speak along the way.
In the wide street, there are only the light trampling of horseshoes and the following sound of more than a hundred ministers behind.
After an unknown amount of time, Mi Yang finally brought Liu Bei to the State Shepherd's Mansion in Nanzheng City just before the sky was about to completely darken.
Since Liu Bei came to the throne, he has never been keen on personal enjoyment, so there is no palace for him in Nanzheng City.
In the absence of a palace, Liu Bei could only temporarily live in the State Shepherd's Mansion.
After Liu Bei stepped into the state shepherd's mansion, he saw Mi Yang's family waiting in the mansion.
Currently in Nanzheng City, there are only two of Mi Yang's family members - Guan Yan and Mi Cheng.
When Liu Bei saw Xiao Mi Cheng, a kind smile instantly appeared on his face.
Liu Chan just got married this year, so naturally he did not give birth to a grandson for him so soon, but this year Liu Bei is over sixty years old.
At Liu Bei's age in this world, not to mention being a grandfather, being a great-grandfather is enough.
When Liu Bei was in the past, why didn't he ever think about enjoying the fun of having his grandchildren?
And because of his feelings for Mi Yang and Guan Yan, the moment Liu Bei saw Xiao Mi Cheng, he regarded him as his half grandson in his heart.
Liu Bei asked Guan Yan to hug Xiao Micheng in front of him with a kind face.
Little Mi Cheng didn't admit it, after seeing a kind old man open his hands to him, he threw himself into his arms without the slightest hesitation.
Xiao Micheng's intimacy made Liu Bei laugh happily.
While hugging little Mi Cheng, he pointed at Mi Yang and said with a smile to Guan Yan:
"This son is more courageous than his father. When Zicheng was five years old, he was very shy and cried all day long.
At that time, I thought that Zicheng was weak and weak, and that he would not be of much use in the future. "
Liu Bei spoke convincingly, and his words were full of disgust for Mi Yang at that time.
Liu Bei's words made Mi Yang blush, but Guan Yan laughed.
She and Mi Yang can be said to be childhood sweethearts. How could she not know what Mi Yang was like when he was a child?
After praising Xiao Micheng, looking at Xiao Micheng's chubby face, Liu Bei suddenly said:
"The male heir has already got married this year, if it is soon, there will be a child born next year.
Before I left Chengdu, I had already made up my mind that if the son was the first one born by the heir, then I would send this first grandson to Zicheng to be educated in the future.
If Gongsi's first child is a daughter, then I will make a marriage contract for her and Cheng'er.
What do you think? "
After saying these words, Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang and Guan Yan.
But his gaze mainly stayed on Mi Yang's body.
After seeing Liu Bei's profound eyes, Mi Yang, who has always been alert, quickly understood Liu Bei's profound meaning.
Liu Chan married Zhang Fei's eldest daughter in Chengdu this spring.
After Liu Chan succeeds in the future, there is no doubt that Zhang Fei's eldest daughter will become the queen of the great man.
The first son born to the emperor and the queen is the eldest son who represents the inheritance of the legal line.
Coupled with the power behind the Zhang family, her first son will be a sure-fire prince in the future.
Liu Bei wanted to send the first grandson of the emperor, who had special political significance, to be educated by his side, and to eat and sit with Mi Cheng. Do I need to say more about the deep meaning in this?
This is to let the Mi family enjoy the honor of being the top of the courtiers in the era when the three generations of Han emperors were in power.
The marriage contract was also based on this idea.
And why did Liu Bei suddenly have this idea?
For Liu Bei, the founding emperor, he may not need to worry about the fact that he has made great achievements.
But it is a fact that Mi Yang's meritorious service is high, and as an emperor, he can't pretend to turn a blind eye to it.
He also saw the relationship between Liu Chan and Mi Yang, and he was not worried about any changes between the two of them.
But what about the third generation?
As for the worries in his heart, if Cao Cao, he would definitely take the approach of killing the wrong rather than letting it go, but Liu Bei has his own unique way of dealing with it.
Knot it with kindness and righteousness, and hope that you will not bear the burden.
After understanding the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words, meeting Liu Bei's staring eyes, Mi Yang bowed to Liu Bei and said:
"Your Majesty's arrangement, I naturally have no objection."
After seeing that Mi Yang was willing to accept his arrangement, Liu Bei's mood improved obviously.
At this time, the ministers who followed behind just now are entering the state pastoral mansion one after another.
Looking at the ministers gathering behind him, Liu Bei reluctantly put down Xiao Micheng.
He told Guan Yan, "Train him well."
After instructing these words, Liu Bei took Mi Yang and walked towards the lobby on the side.
After Liu Bei and Mi Yang stepped into the hall one after another, many civil servants and military generals gathered outside the hall also entered the hall in their own order.
The Northern Expedition was Liu Bei's main purpose of going north this time.
Liu Bei, who felt that time was not waiting for me, didn't want to waste a night in vain.
On the day he arrived in Nanzheng, he would convene a council to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition.
After all the Hanchens who were qualified to enter the hall entered, the sky outside the hall was completely covered by darkness.
Immediately, many servants in the hall spontaneously lit the surrounding candles. After all the candles in the hall were lit, the originally dark hall instantly became brighter.
In the crowded lobby, Liu Beigao sat at the head, and the one sitting not far below him was Mi Yang.
And behind Liu Bei, the map of Guanzhong is hanging high at this moment.
Seeing that all the officials sat down, Liu Bei didn't say too many opening remarks. He glanced at all the officials present, and then said:
"In the Battle of Liangzhou, the rebel army was defeated, leaving Guanzhong empty.
Right now is a great time for our army to make a northern expedition. I don't know what strategy you have to help me make a northern expedition to Guanzhong and regain Chang'an! "
Liu Bei's majestic voice wafted through the silent lobby.
At this moment, he was no longer the kind and kind old man just now, but an emperor exuding majesty all the time.
But after Liu Bei's voice fell for a long time, no minister in the hall came out to speak.
It's not that they are not enthusiastic about the Northern Expedition, on the contrary, every Hanchen present is proud of being able to participate in the Northern Expedition.
It's not that they are all ignorant people, otherwise they wouldn't be qualified to sit in this hall.
The reason why no one responded to Liu Bei was that Mi Yang was sitting in the lobby.
Mi Yang saw that after Liu Bei asked all the ministers, but all the ministers looked at him, his first reaction was that he felt a little bewildered.
Your Majesty is asking you all, if you don't think about countermeasures, what's the use of watching me?
But then Mi Yang soon understood the reason why all the Hanchens were like this.
His record is really too dazzling.
With so many dazzling achievements, it is easy for people to have unconditional trust and dependence on him.
The general must have a strategy, and his own strategy must not be as good as the general's, so why talk about it?
Just listen to the general!
After understanding the thoughts of all the Hanchens, Mi Yang felt a little helpless.
Before convening this meeting, he still had the intention of hearing a good strategy, but judging from the current situation, this is unlikely.
Thinking of this, Mi Yang could only stand up under the gaze of the officials.
When Mi Yang stood up, he didn't notice that Jiang Wei, who was standing behind him, had an eager look on his face.
And when Mi Yang stood up, all the officials in the hall straightened their faces, including Liu Bei.
I'm coming.
Mi Yang first walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to Liu Bei, then under the gaze of the crowd, he came to the map hanging high and said to the crowd:
"In the battle of Liangzhou, the sergeants in Guanzhong were out of ten, which meant that it would be difficult for the bandit army to engage in large-scale infantry field battles with our army without reinforcements.
But the purpose of our army's Northern Expedition is to regain lost ground, not to fight the enemy in the field.
After the First World War in Xiangfan, Cao Pi accepted Jia Xu and Sima Yi's suggestion to repair the city defenses in various important cities in Guanzhong. Today, there are many strong cities in Guanzhong.
This is the biggest obstacle to our army's Northern Expedition. "
When he said this, Mi Yang's tone was dignified.
What he said meant that what the Han army was going to do next was the most arduous siege battle.
And the strong city in Guanzhong is not just a simple one.
Today's chapter is slow.
Chapter 2 tomorrow.
