Chapter 270: Under the Pine and Cypress, Children Are Long

Guan Yu, who suppressed his anger, looked at the son-in-law who worshiped him in front of him, and the warmth in his eyes resurfaced.

No elder will blame the younger generation for their filial piety.

This is one of the reasons why Ma Liang wrote to Mi Yang to inform him about this before, because compared to others, Mi Yang and Guan Yu have a more intimate relationship.

Guan Yu stretched out his big hand and touched Mi Yang's head, at this moment, he was not the Guan Gong of Megatron Huaxia, but an elder who was moved by the filial piety of the younger generation.

Guan Yu originally wanted to stroke Mi Yang's hair, but because Mi Yang was in his stomach at this time, the last thing Guan Yu's right hand touched was the cold helmet on Mi Yang's head.

When he felt the touch of the slug on his head, a little surprise appeared on Mi Yang's face.

But then he thought about it, and it became clear.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he is the famous General Zuo in the world.

But in the eyes of Guan Yu's relatives, no matter how much he has achieved, he is essentially his son and nephew.

So it's normal for Guan Yu to have this behavior.

After feeling the cold feeling coming from his hand, Guan Yu put away his right hand and put it back on his lap, and then he looked at Mi Yang and asked:

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Guan Yu still didn't answer Mi Yang's question directly, but instead asked Mi Yang a question.

Seeing Guan Yu asking himself, although Mi Yang was worried about Guan Yu's condition, the elder couldn't stop asking, according to the etiquette, he had to answer Guan Yu's question first.

Anyway, he has already arrived at Guan Yu's side now, and it won't take much time to answer Guan Yu's question first.

Under this thought, Mi Yang began to think about Guan Yu's problem.

According to common sense, Guan Yu summoned himself to Fancheng to assist him in defeating Zhang Liao's army.

It's just that Mi Yang's current identity is a little special, just in terms of authority, Mi Yang is now the same as Guan Yu.

Of course, Mi Yang's governor cannot be compared with Guan Yu in terms of status or power.

But since it is the governor of one side, then it should not be easy to leave the jurisdiction.

Guan Yu, who supervised the military forces in the East, naturally had the power to mobilize Mi Yang, just as Guan Yu, who was fake Jieyue, had the right to transfer Liu Feng's subordinates.

However, Mi Yang's identity is special after all, and Wudang City is also at risk of being attacked by the Wei army, so under normal circumstances, Guan Yu only needs to issue an order to transfer part of the army under his command away.

Because if he wants to defeat Zhang Liao's tens of thousands of Wei troops, Guan Yu may lack soldiers and horses, but he will never be a general.

Since Guan Yu took charge of Jingzhou, it has long been customary for him to dominate everything alone.

In the past, no matter how harsh the environment was, most of Guan Yu led the Jingzhou army to survive alone.

Mi Yang would not be so confident as to think that Guan Yu deliberately transferred him to help him defeat the enemy.

No matter in terms of Guan Yu's ability or character, Guan Yu would not have such a purpose.

After ruling out the above possibilities and recalling Guan Yu's performance, Mi Yang tentatively made an answer:

"The woman is trying to teach me?"

After hearing Mi Yang's answer, Guan Yu raised his hand and tapped Mi Yang's pocket.

Guan Yu's fingers tapped on the pocket, making a crisp sound.

After this crisp sound sounded, Guan Yu's hearty laughter rang out.

"You're still so smart."

"Just as smart as you were when you came to Fancheng outside of Fancheng last year and offered me advice."

Guan Yu's tone was a little embarrassed.

Last year, at about the same time, also outside Fancheng, Mi Yang, dressed in green clothes, came to his big tent, revealed Sun Quan's conspiracy to him, and set up a plan for him to escape a catastrophe in his life.

It was also that day that made Guan Yu re-examine Mi Yang, a nephew who had been ignored by him, and conscripted Mi Yang to become his main book.

From that day on, Mi Yang, who was appreciated by him, was like a meteor, blooming his light wantonly on the land of Jingxiang.

Now that I think about it, more than a year has passed.

At that time, Tsing Yi Xiaolian has now become a red-tasseled general Zuo, and the world is changing so fast that sometimes it really confuses people's minds.

But fortunately, even Mi Yang has made great achievements this year.

But instead of being as complacent as he feared, he was able to analyze rationally as he had done last year.

This is Guan Yu's favorite point of Mi Yang.

And this can also ensure that Mi Yang can go further in the future.

After laughing, Guan Yu then said slowly: "When I was young, I was angry and committed an accident, so I went to Zhuo County, and I was fortunate to meet Your Majesty."

"After meeting Your Majesty, under Your Majesty's guidance, I began to study the Spring and Autumn Period."

"Over the decades of study, although my research on the Spring and Autumn Period has not been as good as that of some great Confucians, I still have some opinions of my own."

"There is a sentence in "Spring and Autumn" that "under the pines and cypresses, the grass does not grow", which impressed me deeply.

When I read this sentence when I was young, I only felt that this sentence was unfounded.

Whether the grass under the pine and cypress can thrive depends on whether the grass itself is self-reliant, and what does it have to do with the pine and cypress that shelter the grass from the wind and rain?"

"But as I've gotten older, I've always felt something different when I read this sentence over the years.

I'm worried about whether the grass will eventually thrive."

"Maybe I've become the pine and cypress that shelters the grass from the wind and rain."

"Especially the battle of the enemy a few days ago, which made my worries more and more serious."

After saying this, Guan Yu looked at Mi Yang's eyes and said in a heavy tone:

"I was able to achieve such a great victory in that battle, but it is true that the Moon Array made a great contribution to it.

But the defeat of the thief army also has a lot to do with the poor talents of Xiahou Ba, Cao Tai and others."

"I don't want you to be the same in the future, that's why I summoned you on purpose."

When Guan Yu said this, a look of approval appeared on Mi Yang's face.

It is a tradition for Cao Wei to reuse the clan, so let's not talk about Cao Cao's hard support for Xiahou when he was alive.

It can be seen that after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he vigorously appointed Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Nan, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu.

These people are all representatives of the second generation of Cao Wei.

Among these people, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu still have military exploits.

However, Xiahou Shang and Xiahou Nan had never had much contact with the military before, and they could even become one of the generals of the Four Expeditions and Four Towns, and a large number of talented generals with different surnames were all under their leadership.

Cao Wei is not without talent, on the contrary, Cao Wei's talent reserve is scared to death.

It's just that a large number of talents are still under the leadership of the clan generals, and they can't fully display their talents.

And the talents of the Cao Wei clan are uneven, if it is good to let Cao Zhen lead the army with great talent.

If you let Xiahou Nan and Cao Tai, who are not very talented clan leaders, even if Cao Wei has a strong national strength, he will not be able to give full play.

Just like the battle of the Moon Formation not long ago, if Cao Zhen or Cao Xiu led the troops, it cannot be said that they would definitely not fall for Guan Yu's arrogant strategy.

But at least they won't be like Cao Tai and Xiahou Ba, one is as rash as his biological father Xiahou Yuan, and the other is the commander-in-chief but is led by the nose by the deputy general Xiahou Ba, and he has no judgment of his own at all.

And after Guan Yu told the case of Xiahou Ba and Cao Tai, Mi Yang understood what Guan Yu's worries were.

Cao Wei doesn't look at merit, or even the second generation of the clan according to age, although it is logically unreasonable, but this is the political correctness of the world.

Don't say Cao Wei, even Dongwu did the same.

The clan and relatives naturally occupy a transcendent position in the political system.

Now it's a feudal society.

And although Liu Bei started from the end of Wei, there were not many clan relatives around him to help.

But around Liu Bei, there is a political force that is not a clan relative, but a clan relative, that is, the Yuan Cong faction headed by Guan Yu.

In such a situation, the second generation of the Yuancong faction is bound to be reused by Liu Bei one after another, just like the second generation of Cao Wei's clansmen.

Those with greater power such as himself, Guan Ping, and Mi Wei, and those with less power such as Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Zhao Tong, etc.

After all, the average age of the Yuan Cong generation who followed Liu Bei was about sixty, which was already considered an advanced age in the world.

In this case, Liu Bei, who has political wisdom, will definitely start to vigorously promote the second generation of Yuan Cong.

Because compared with the three factions of Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Dongzhou, the Yuancong faction is the hardcore descendant of Liu Bei, who is both prosperous and loss-oriented, and is the original shareholder of Ji Han, a listed company.

Therefore, Yuan has been in power since the second generation, and it is already a trend that is developing rapidly.

Guan Yu's political wisdom is not low, and of course he understands this trend very clearly.

And as he grew older and saw the performance of the second generation of Cao Wei, it was normal for Guan Yu to worry that "under the pine and cypress, its grass is difficult to grow".

To put it bluntly, Guan Yu is worried that after his generation dies one after another, the second generation that succeeds them will be like Xiahou Ba and Cao Tai, and will be taken advantage of by the enemy, which will put Ji Hanrang in a crisis.

It is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business, not to mention that because of the existence of Cao Wei and Sun Wu, Ji Han will still be in the stage of entrepreneurship for a long time in the future.

In addition, Cao Wei's foundation is much thicker than Ji Han's, and Cao Wei's second generation can wave, but Ji Han does not have the capital of waves.

It is likely that a big defeat will cause Ji Han's national strength to suffer a heavy blow, and he will never recover.

After Guan Yu voiced the worries in his heart, he gave Mi Yang some time to digest his words.

And Guan Yu was looking at Mi Yang's expression at the same time.

Since he has some worries in his heart, then Guan Yu has to find a way to solve his worries.

It is an inevitable trend for Yuan to take power from the second generation, and the talents of the second generation of Yuan Cong must also be uneven.

In order to solve this contradictory problem, Guan Yu came up with a solution.

That is to find a leader for the second generation of Yuancong.

The talents of the Yuan Cong generation are also uneven, but in the end, the Yuan Cong generation can create this great foundation today because of a leader like Liu Bei.

And the leader of the second generation of Yuancong, nominally speaking, the best choice was Liu Chan, but Liu Chan was too young, coupled with his talent......

Guan Yu has never been to Yizhou, but Liu Chan's performance, Liu Bei often wrote to complain to him.

So Guan Yu finally set his goal on Mi Yang's body.

In terms of loyalty to Liu Bei and his own talent, Mi Yang is a good choice.

Moreover, Mi Yang is still a relative of the Han Dynasty, so he will lead some things in the future, which is more in line with the public opinion in the world.

Therefore, Guan Yu specially summoned Mi Yang to his side, thinking of taking this rare opportunity to teach him more.

As long as the quality of the leader is guaranteed, the flock following him can greatly reduce the risk of getting lost.

Of course, all of the above is Guan Yu's personal thoughts, whether Mi Yang can really become the leader of the second generation of Yuan Cong, in addition to whether Mi Yang himself is competitive, the most important thing is to get Liu Bei's consent.

But Guan Yu is the character of the rule.

Although Liu Bei has not yet agreed with his idea, he can teach Mi Yang first in case of emergency.

[Recommended,

His physical condition.

It's not good.

Otherwise, how could Guan Yu tell him this at this juncture?

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Since Mi Yang's crossing, no matter how Guan Yu treats others, his respect and love for him have always been very deep, which is a kind of affection.

So now, when he learned Guan Yu's deep meaning, Mi Yang's reaction was not happy, but sad.

Seeing that tears had already appeared in Mi Yang's eyes, Guan Yu smiled and raised his hand to wipe away the tears that had slid down Mi Yang's eyes.

"They are all people who want to be fathers, and they don't learn to be steady."

"It's okay if you are not stable, you must learn to be steady when using soldiers."

"I specially summoned you to my side this time to tell you a truth: although soldiers are sophistry, soldiers are not all sophistry.

There is nothing wrong with you being good at using your soldiers, but since ancient times, there has been a righteous way in the battle of war."

"What is the right way? It is also necessary to meet the enemy in array, and to break the enemy with strength."

"If the enemy is strong, then our army will be stronger than the enemy!"

"There are many wise men in the world who can win, and there will always be people who may see through your strategy, so sometimes it is necessary to defeat the enemy with the right path."

"Winning with the right and winning with the odd is the royal road of the soldiers.

Then stay with me, watch and learn more, and don't be proud of what you have achieved in the past."

Regarding Guan Yu's earnest teachings, Mi Yang nodded busily.

And after teaching Mi Yang this, while Guan Yu had a look of satisfaction on his face, he suddenly asked Mi Yang, "How many months does Yinping have to be produced?"

Faced with Guan Yu's inquiry, Mi Yang immediately replied, "It's only two months at most."

Guan Yan was diagnosed by a doctor that she was pregnant around February or March this year.

It's already November, so the date of Guan Yan's production is not far away.

Hearing Mi Yang say this, Guan Yu nodded slightly.

Then he asked Mi Yang to go down first to rest and recuperate to deal with the next big battle.

Mi Yang obediently got up and was about to walk outside the big tent, but when Mi Yang walked to the door of the big tent, Guan Yu seemed to be unable to help but say a word to Mi Yang:

"Take the silver screen, I want to see your baby born."

Hearing Guan Yu's request, Mi Yang's figure was stunned.

Even if he is a hero, he also has a long heart.

...

Ma Liang paced anxiously back and forth outside Guan Yu's big tent.

After waiting for a long time, Mi Yang lifted the curtain of the big tent and walked out.

When Ma Liang saw Mi Yang walk out, he immediately greeted him, but what Ma Liang was waiting for was Mi Yang's shaking of his head.

What Ma Liang was waiting for, of course Mi Yang knew.

But from Guan Yu's words with him just now, Mi Yang already knew Guan Yu's attitude.

Guan Yu is a very assertive person, and Guan Yu can say those words to him, which means that Guan Yu has made a decision in his heart.

In this case, he, who is both a subordinate and a junior, has a high probability of not being able to persuade Guan Yu.

It's just that in the face of Ma Liang's disappointed look, Mi Yang revealed a piece of news to him.

"Your Majesty is coming."

When he heard these four words, Ma Liang's face showed joy.

Liu Bei's arrival may be a turning point.
