Eulogy is not something that anyone can have.

With Guan Yu's identity and status during his lifetime, it is reasonable for him to have Liu Bei, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, recite a eulogy for him in public after his death.

This point has long been in the speculation of the ministers.

What the ministers did not expect was that the content of this eulogy was very different from the common eulogy in the world.

Since it is a eulogy, then the natural content should be mainly mourning.

However, the eulogy recited by Liu Bei today is not all words of condolence.

On the contrary, it is more like a letter to Guan Yu after the Battle of Xiangfan and a praise to the Han army!

It can also be regarded as the Han army's proclamation of martial arts.

It's just that no matter what kind of speculation comes to the minds of the ministers, their mood is quite surging now.

In the martial Han Dynasty, a passionate essay can be very exciting.

If the article had been based on facts, the effect would have been greater.

Obviously, the eulogy to Guan Yu recited by Liu Bei has had such an effect.

Liu Bei, who was standing on the altar, looked at the ministers below with an excited look on his face, and a little comfort appeared in his eyes.

He looked at the location of Guan Yu's Zi Palace, and secretly thought in his heart:

"This kind of eulogy should be as Zicheng said, which is what Yun Chang likes."

And this kind of eulogy is also liked by the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

Long before leaving Xinye, because of Mi Yang's identity and his usual writing, Liu Bei asked Mi Yang to write a eulogy to mourn Guan Yu in advance.

Compared with the other tasks given to Mi Yang by Liu Bei, the task of writing a eulogy for Guan Yu made Mi Yang feel relaxed.

It's just that when writing the eulogy, Mi Yang considered that Guan Yu died after the Han army's victory at the Battle of Xiangfan, which might have a certain impact on the morale of the Han army.

Even when the news of Guan Yu's death was learned by Cao Wei Junchen, it would boost their arrogance to a certain extent.

With this in mind, Mi Yang adopted a completely different way of writing eulogies from his ancestors.

In fact, he mixed the battle report of the Han army's victory in the Battle of Xiangfan into a eulogy to Guan Yu.

When such a eulogy was recited from Liu Bei's mouth, it not only made a great affirmation of Guan Yu's exploits during his lifetime.

It will also allow the subjects of the Han Dynasty to learn the content of this eulogy, and they will not affect the hearts of the army and the people because of the sadness in their hearts.

It will even invisibly boost their spirits.

And when this "Mourning General Yuwen" spread all over the world, whether it was Cao Pi or Sun Quan, who had been quite quiet recently.

They will naturally feel the momentum and strength of the Han army in this eulogy.

When Mi Yang handed over this "Mourning General Yuwen" to Liu Bei, Liu Bei naturally understood Mi Yang's good intentions.

Therefore, after reading this eulogy on the altar, Liu Bei handed the eulogy in his hand to Deng Zhi, who had just ascended the altar, and he commanded Deng Zhi:

"Announce to the world, and make the salt hear."

Deng Zhi can be favored and relied on by Liu Bei as an important minister, so he can naturally understand the deep meaning of Liu Bei's move.

So after he received the eulogy from Liu Bei's hand, he bowed down to Liu Bei and bowed to Ying Wei.

After handing over the eulogy in his hand to Deng Zhi, Liu Bei's eyes looked at the burial place of Guan Yuzi Palace, and his gaze became extremely reluctant.

"Brother is leaving."

"In a few years, my brother will definitely take you to Chang'an."

After silently muttering these two sentences in his heart, Liu Bei slowly bowed to Guan Yuying's spirit.

to say goodbye for the time being.

And when Liu Bei bowed, many sacrifices on the altar behind him were thrown into the fire.

Fueled by the oil-filled carcasses of animals, the flames on the altar rose to a high level.

The rising flames appeared behind Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and seemed to reflect the current state of Yan Han.

And after Liu Bei's worship, it also announced the end of Guan Yu's huge funeral.

Shortly after Guan Yu's funeral, many messengers set off from Xiangyang and traveled quickly to all parts of the world.

These messengers were sent by Deng Zhi.

When these messengers proclaim the eulogy of "Mourning the Great General Yuwen" to the world, the world is bound to set off waves again.

...

Xiangyang City, as the location of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the command center of the previous Xiangfan Battle, has long been densely packed with spies from all sides inside and outside this city.

And the major event of the funeral of Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty, is impossible to conceal from the spies of all parties inside and outside Xiangyang City.

Maybe the spies in Xinye City or Xiangyang City before found out that Guan Yu had died.

But because this news is too sudden, and the Han army has always been good at using tricks.

Therefore, before there is a completely accurate news, many spies have a special note that the news is doubtful when they report the news.

Tricking the enemy into attacking by faking his death is not a tactic that no one has used in the past.

But when Guan Yu's funeral was held outside Xiangyang City, this incident undoubtedly proved the authenticity of Guan Yu's death.

Therefore, after confirming that the news of Guan Yu's death was true, spies from all sides reported the news back from various channels at a very fast speed.

Among them, the spies sent by Wancheng reported the fastest.

At the end of February of the second year of Han Zhangwu, just when Cao Pi arranged everything and prepared to drive back to Luoyang, this information happened to be sent to Cao Pi, who was about to set foot on the imperial drive, through the hands of Liu Fang, the supervisor of the Central Committee.

Liu Fang is a descendant of Liu Jian, the king of Guangyang in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Ye is also a relative of the Han family.

It's just that unlike Liu Ye, compared with Liu Ye, Liu Fang is more trusted by Cao Cao and Cao Pi.

After Cao Pi became emperor, he appointed Sun Zi as the Zhongshu Ling and Liu Fang as the Zhongshu Supervisor, jointly in charge of this important institution.

Liu Fang was able to gain the trust of Cao Cao and Cao Pi, in addition to his previous great contributions to Cao Cao's pacification of Hebei.

is also because he himself is a very good writer, and he has a strong ability to analyze all kinds of documents.

This has led to the fact that recently, Cao Pi has gradually handed over the authority of summarizing information from all parties to Liu Fang, the supervisor of the Central Committee.

Liu Fang held a piece of information that was sent back to Wancheng urgently, and stopped Cao Pi, who was about to sit in the royal car, with a sentence.

"Guan Yu is dead, the news is correct!"

When Liu Fang's words reached Cao Pi's ears, Cao Pi's raised foot suddenly stopped.

He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Under the surprise, Cao Pi couldn't care about boarding the royal car.

He immediately pumped his feet and returned to the royal car, and then hurriedly lured Liu Fang forward with his hand.

Under Cao Pi's inducement, Liu Fang hurriedly stepped forward to Cao Pi's side, and presented the information in his hands to Cao Pi.

Looking at the information covered with red feathers in Liu Fang's hand, the joy on Cao Pi's face became stronger and stronger.

Long before, there were many news about Guan Yu's illness and death circulating inside and outside Wancheng.

It's just that the information hasn't been confirmed at that time.

In addition, Cao Pi was deceived by the Han army and had a psychological shadow, so Cao Pi didn't believe the news.

Not only Cao Pi didn't believe it, but many Cao Wei ministers didn't believe it.

But just when Cao Pi thought that Guan Yu's death was fake news, on the day he was about to leave Wancheng, he actually got the confirmation news of Guan Yu's death.

How could such news not surprise Cao Pi.

Liu Fang's personality Cao Pi knew, and if such news was not supported by accurate evidence, Liu Fang would not dare to read it out in public.

And what surprised Cao Pi even more was still behind, only to see Liu Fang hand over the information in his hand, he immediately said:

"Liu Bei abandoned Mi Yang and appointed Zhang Fei as the governor of Jingzhou instead."

After learning the news, Cao Pi and the ministers around him were even more happy on their faces, and their hearts were even more relieved.

Before the Battle of Xiangfan, the evaluation of Liu Bei's forces by the government and the opposition of the Wei State was usually like this.

"The lord of the small country of Liu Thief, the famous generals Wei Yu and Yang, are not the opponents of Great Wei."

Such an evaluation is based on the confidence of the Cao Wei government and the opposition in their own national strength, and is also based on a judgment of objective facts.

It is true that at this time, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals were still there, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had also made a lot of achievements in the past.

However, they did not have Guan Yu's glorious record of flooding the Seventh Army to surrender to the ban, and Mi Yang burned Han Shui to besiege and kill Cao Ren.

Therefore, their deterrent power among the Cao Wei government and opposition is naturally not high.

Even after the Battle of Xiangfan, the judgment of the monarchs and ministers of Wei on the famous generals under Liu Bei did not change in essence.

Especially compared to Mi Yang, Guan Yu, who won two victories in the Battle of Xiangfan, was more like a towering mountain, which made the people of Cao Wei almost breathless.

In this case, how could Cao Pi and the ministers of Wei not be surprised when they learned the news of Guan Yu's death.

Just as when the news of Cao Cao's death spread all over the world, the whole world breathed a sigh of relief.

After Guan Yu's death, Mi Yang did not become the next governor of Jingzhou, which made Cao Pi and other Wei ministers feel relieved.

Especially for Sima Yi, who was in charge of the military of Jingzhou, it was even more so.

When seeing off Cao Pi today, almost all the ministers inside and outside Wancheng came, only the left general Zhang He led tens of thousands of elites to ride outside.

Zhang He's precautionary is not Mi Yang who is now in Xinye?

When he learned of these two good news, Cao Pi said to the ministers on the side with excitement on his face:

"The thief does not live in Jingzhou, and Wanluo has no worries since then."

In Cao Pi's view, although Guan Yu's death is not humanly reversed.

However, after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei did not let Mi Yang inherit Guan Yu's power, which was unexpected and made him optimistic about the situation in Jingzhou.

Cao Pi's words made the ministers around him nod their heads, and a look of approval appeared on their faces.

It's just that Cao Pi didn't notice that when the ministers and him were all happy, Liu Fang's face kept tense.

However, although Cao Pi didn't notice this, his movements were not slow at all.

He reached out and took the information from Liu Fang's hand, and for the first time since he became emperor, he wanted to see a piece of information with joy.

Cao Pi has thought about it, and after he reads the contents of this information, he will immediately announce the contents of the information to the world, so as to boost the morale of his own army.

When Cao Pi's slender fingers crossed the edge of the cloth and fully displayed the content of the cloth in his hand, Cao Pi's face was still very happy at first.

It's just that when Cao Pi's eyes wandered all the way on the cloth in his hand, and after seeing the "Mourning General Yuwen", his gaze suddenly condensed.

The title of this eulogy made Cao Pi very curious, and of course he should be happy if he mourned.

But it is clear that the content of this eulogy was completely unexpected by him.

As Cao Pi continued to look at the content of the eulogy, the joy on Cao Pi's face gradually dissipated.

In place of the look of joy on his face, there was a gloomy color.

And under that gloomy face, Cao Pi's eyes gradually became cold.

He felt a kind of grief and indignation that had been deliberately suppressed by him in the past, and under the traction of the content of this eulogy, it began to resurgence in his heart.

Cao Pi is a famous genius in the world, and his rich knowledge reserve allows him to read the content of this eulogy very quickly.

He was also able to immediately know what the parable in the eulogy was referring to.

But because of this, the gloomy color on Cao Pi's face became stronger and stronger.

After reading the content of this eulogy, Cao Pi angrily closed the cloth in his hand.

This act of his seems to be a cover-up, and the fact that he has read this eulogy is general.

But facts are facts, and they cannot be changed by self-deception.

The memory and imagination of the great genius made the content of the eulogy emerge in front of his eyes like the real scenes of two major battles.

Seeing the miserable picture of Wei Jun, the grief and indignation in Cao Pi's heart became more and more intense.

Is this mourning Guan Yu, or is it mourning my 70,000 troops of Great Wei?

Cao Pi gritted his teeth angrily, he stretched out his white fingers and pointed at Liu Fang, and asked Liu Fang with a cold tone in his tone:

"Do you know who wrote this eulogy?"

It is not stated in the intelligence who wrote the eulogy.

However, Liu Fang is a literary master who is relied on by the two generations of monarchs of the Cao family, and he is also the current aggregator of Cao Wei's information.

It is possible for him to guess who the author of this eulogy is from the comparison of styles.

Sure enough, after Cao Pi asked Liu Fang, even if Liu Fang had found out that Cao Pi was in a bad mood at this time, he could only answer Cao Pi head-on:

"According to the minister's speculation, this eulogy may have been written by Mi Yang."

Liu Fang is not unreasonable speculation, Mi Yang is Cao Wei's enemy of life and death, and the battle reports he wrote in the past have already been carefully studied by Liu Fang.

Because of this, Liu Fang felt Mi Yang's similar style from this eulogy.

Based on facts, supplemented by heroic writing.

When Cao Pi heard that the eulogy was written by Mi Yang, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

Although Guan Yu is dead, Mi Yang is still there, what is he happy about?

You must know that Xiahou Shang, Man Chong and other Wei generals are still being imprisoned in Miyang's Xicheng.

And Cao Ren's death is only a year ago.

This has always been a great shame for Cao Wei.
