After Shi Bud found the letter that Deng Ai had written to him, he gently patted the dust on the letter.

After dusting off the letter, Shi Bao looked at the letter in his hand with a look full of cherishment.

The content of the letter, even if it has been a long time, but Shi Bao still remembers it very clearly.

In this letter, Deng Aisheng praised Mi Yang as a wise and benevolent master, and pointed out that Mi Yang has achieved several great victories that shocked the world, and his future achievements must be limitless.

The most important thing is that Mi Yang does not value his family background as much as others, and he really does the four words "meritocracy".

For example, Deng Ai regarded himself as the best example in his letter.

is better than others, Deng Aina can't catch up.

But if he is from a low background with Deng Aibi, there are really few people in the world who are currently officials and generals who can compare with him.

Deng Ai not only has a poor family background, but he is also a stammer, and his body is deficient.

But this is the kind of background, after Deng Ai followed Mi Yang, because he was appreciated by Mi Yang, he was already the commander of the first battalion and the position of captain when he wrote this letter.

The captain is the official of a thousand stones, no matter what force it is placed in, the captain is considered a large military position, and this promotion speed is already very fast.

On the other hand, because of her excellent appearance, what about Shi Bao, who had a better prospect than Deng Ai at the beginning?

It's just an iron seller engaged in cheap business.

Of course, Deng Ai wrote the letter to solicit Shi Bao, so he only prepared everything he had gained after meeting Mi Yang, and did not compare himself with Shi Bao in the letter.

But Deng Ai didn't make a special comparison, Shi Bao, who was born the same as Deng Ai, naturally made a comparison spontaneously after seeing the content of the letter.

In comparison, Shi Bao's heart is full of mixed thoughts.

If it is said that after Shi Bao saw the letter written by Deng Ai in the past, his heart was not too uncomfortable.

Since the concept in his heart was beginning to change, when he held the letter again, Shi Bao's heart felt as uncomfortable as a knife.

The battle of Xiangfan has long been transmitted to Yecheng with the passage of time.

And Shi Bao, who has always been popular, learned more about the secrets of the Xiangfan Battle from the mouths of some children of the family.

Shi Bud knew that in that big battle, Mi Yang's performance was still outstanding.

Among the three armies of the Han army, Mi Yang can command an army alone like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which is enough to show his current power and status in the Han Dynasty.

Even the outstanding performance of Ding Feng, the general of the Miyang Army, in that battle, and his reputation as a "wooden captain" gradually spread in the north.

While the world is amazed by the strong combat effectiveness of the Mi army, they also admire Mi Yang's strict management of the army and the presence of such fierce generals under his command.

After learning about this, Shi Bao called a repentance.

If he could have decisively gone south to Miyang, why couldn't it be him who has gained such a reputation today?

When he woke up from the dream in Yecheng, this thought in Shi Bao's heart became stronger and stronger.

And to this day, Shi Bud finally couldn't resist the strong desire in his heart and planned to take that step.

After carefully stroking the letter in his hand several times with his fingers, a look of determination appeared in Shi Bao's eyes.

He carefully put the letter in his hand into his arms, and then after carefully grooming it, he took out all his savings and returned to the market in Yecheng to buy a gift.

He took this gift to the house of Xu Yun, the servant of the ministry.

Shi Bao, who has a deep personal relationship with Xu Yun, knows that today is the day when Xu Yun is in the house.

After learning that his friend Shi Bud had arrived, Xu Yun hurriedly asked his subordinates to welcome Shi Bud in.

When Xu Yun saw Shi Bao, he saw Shi Bao holding a gift in his hand, and he knew that Shi Bao wanted to ask him again.

Shi Bao's thought made Xu Yun feel embarrassed for a while.

It's not that Xu Yun doesn't want to help Shi Bao.

Xu Yun attaches great importance to Shi Bao, and Shi Bao has asked for Xu Yun a lot in the past.

And in the face of those requests, Xu Yun also tried to help as much as he could.

Because Xu Yun always felt that Shi Bud was not an ordinary person, he would definitely have some achievements in the future, and the kindness he released today might be rewarded in the future.

But even if Xu Yun himself is not from a low background, he also holds the position of a servant in the ministry.

But it was extremely difficult for him alone to provide a step into the body for a person from a humble background like Shi Bao.

In the past, Xu Yun had disappointed Shi Bao many times.

So the reason why Xu Yun felt embarrassed was actually because of the guilt in his heart.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to help what Shibud asked for today.

The unnatural look on Xu Yun's face was stared at by Shi Bao.

Shi Bao knew why Xu Yun had such a look, but he had full confidence in his intentions today.

Xu Yun couldn't help him in the past, but what he asked for today was definitely able to be done by Xu Yun.

Shi Bao quickly stepped forward to bow to Xu Yun with the gift in his hand, and then he spoke:

"Bao heard that the county government will send a group of soldiers to escort a group of prisoners south.

Bud wanted to ask Xu Jun to mediate and let Bud become one of the county soldiers. ”

Hearing that the request in Shi Bao's mouth today was this, Xu Yun's face showed surprise.

It's not that the requirements of the stone bud are too high, it's that it's too low.

It is just a county soldier, and it is not an official position at all, and it is easy to accomplish this with his power.

It's just that Shi Bao's previous beggers were all officials of a hundred stones, but today he is seeking to be a county soldier who is not in the stream, and he thinks that Shi Bao has no other extravagant hopes in his heart.

Thinking that his friend Shi Bao began to be disheartened, Xu Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Qing is my generation, when he is introduced to the imperial court, why do you want to be a pawn?" ”

Hearing Xu Yun say this, a look of emotion appeared on Shi Bao's face.

But he has made up his mind, and he will not change his mind because of Xu Yun's words.

He hasn't finished the cake he painted a few years ago.

Shi Bao resolutely pleaded to Xu Yun: "Bao wants to take this trip to sharpen himself and increase his knowledge, and Jingzhou is a frontier place, maybe there is something for me to make a contribution."

I also hope that Xu Jun will be fulfilled. ”

Seeing that Shi Bao's attitude was so resolute, although Xu Yun was a little reluctant, he still promised Shi Bao: "Zhong Rong rest assured, you will definitely fulfill my request." ”

When Xu Yun said this, Shi Bao's heart was irrepressibly happy.

It's just that he still has a depressed look on his face, and then said goodbye to Xu Yun.

After Shi Bao left Xu Yun's mansion and walked to a place where no one was around, he showed a happy look on his face, and his palms struck each other excitedly.

The reason why Shi Bao invited himself to be the pawn who escorted the captives south was just to better go south to Jingzhou.

Originally, Shi Bud could leave on his own, but it was a long way south to Jingzhou, and the road was extremely difficult and he didn't have much entanglement.

In this case, is there a safer and more effective way to do it than to follow the official army south?

Moreover, the county soldiers are not regular troops, and the management has always been loose.

After he successfully arrived in Nanyang County, it was quite easy to get out of the ranks of the county soldiers.

With the protection of the Great Wei official, he went all the way south, and then threw himself into the enemy of the Great Wei, which could also relieve the resentment in his heart a little.

Thinking of this, Shi Bao quickly retracted the excitement on his face.

He sprang out of the deserted alley and strode toward his dwelling.

He had to pack his bags early, and according to the news he had received before, the county army was going to set off in the next two days.

On the second day, outside the city of Yecheng, hundreds of men and women in ragged clothes and unkempt hair began to assemble from the city under the escort of a group of county soldiers.

These hundreds of men and women were captured by the Wei army in the Battle of Dangyang, and the families of the generals of the Liu army.

Among them are even Liu Bei's two daughters.

Cao Cao didn't kill them back then, but it doesn't mean that Cao Cao will treat them well.

In the past, most of them were imprisoned in the prisons of Yecheng.

After years of prison life, these hundreds of Liu Jun prisoners are now like beggars, no matter what kind of demeanor they had at the beginning.

Even after hundreds of Liu Jun captives were taken out of prison, because they had not seen the light of day for a long time, most of them felt as if they were separated from the world when they saw the sun.

Originally, there were more than these generals and clansmen of the Liu Army who were captured that year, but due to the low living conditions, many young or old clansmen have long since passed away.

Those who have survived so far are people in the prime of life.

And because of the fear of death, or the temptation of glory and wealth, a large number of clansmen chose to take the initiative to surrender to the Wei army.

In the case of death or rebellion, there are only a few hundred people left in the total of hundreds of clansmen in those years.

And for this kind of reason, most of the more than 100 people who have survived today are the immediate family members of Liu Jun and the other generals of Yuan Cong, and they are also the most loyal to them.

Maybe what happened to them is too lazy to mention in the so-called official history.

They did not make any great contributions to Liu Bei's foundation.

But not mentioning them does not mean that they do not exist, and not making great achievements does not erase their loyalty.

After hundreds of Liu prisoners were taken out of prison, they thought that the Wei army was going to attack them.

But what they didn't expect was that after they assembled, the Wei army did not raise a butcher's knife against them.

The Wei army just escorted them all the way to the south.

This move of the Wei army surprised the hundreds of captives.

What they don't know is that it was their Majesty who was going to take them home.

Qingshu Shibi will forget them, but their majesty will not.

And Shi Bao, who was in the ranks of county soldiers, turned around and watched the majestic city behind him gradually become smaller.

His eyes were full of complicated expressions towards this ancient capital that he longed for in the past.

In this city, he left too many disappointments, suffered too many white eyes, and even secretly shed tears in this city.

Perhaps this is the treatment he deserves as a pawn today.

However, Shi Bao has too much unwillingness in his heart.

When the majestic city in his eyes completely disappeared on the horizon, Shi Bao withdrew his reluctant eyes.

Today he left as a soldier, and he will rely on the respect of the minister to return in the future!

In April of the second year of Han Zhangwu, a team of prisoners of war from Yecheng had already arrived outside Wancheng.

When he learned that this team of prisoners of war had arrived, Sima Yi, the general of Wei Annan, immediately sent an envoy to contact Mi Yang.

Sima Yi had already received Cao Pi's secret edict before, so he knew what he should do when this team of prisoners of war arrived.

The same is Mi Yang, who now knows why Liu Bei asked him to escort Xiahou Shang and others to Xinye.

Therefore, after meeting Sima Yi's envoy, Mi Yang discussed with Sima Yi through the mouth of the envoy all matters concerning the transfer of prisoners of war between the two sides.

After sending the messenger away, Mi Yang's face was full of embarrassment.

Mi Yang knew why Liu Bei made this deal with Cao Pi, it was an equivalent exchange made by the two emperors for their own country.

With Mi Yang's current status, that kind of exchange is not yet an area that he can reach.

But after learning that most of the people who were about to take him back, Mi Yang still sighed in his heart.

Among the courtiers who followed Liu Bei back then, if you talk about the number of clansmen, the Mi clan of the East China Sea must be the largest.

"The ancestral world is a collection of goods, tens of thousands of customers, and hundreds of millions of dollars", this is the record of the most prosperous time of the East China Sea Mi clan in Xuzhou.

And later, when Liu Bei was in danger, Mi Zhu almost did his best to help Liu Bei recover.

This led to the fact that in Liu Bei's army, the proportion of Mi clan people has always been not low.

Because of this, among the hundreds of prisoners of war, there is a high probability that the number of other people will not be small.

The importance of the clan in the world is self-evident.

Thinking that he was about to welcome back to his or her brother or brother, Mi Yang's mood was a little excited because of the blood traction in his heart.

Of course, he could also foresee that once his clansmen were released, then his Donghai Mi clan would no longer be a rootless tree in Yizhou.

As the Mizhu brothers who brought the Mi clan of the East China Sea to the peak in one fell swoop, the reason why they were unable to rapidly expand their family power in Yizhou in the past was that they lacked trustworthy clansmen.

Mi Zhu, who can still lead the family to continue to do business in troubled times, will he really be just a good man?

Anyway, Mi Yang doesn't believe it.

Because Sima Yi and Mi Yang were eager to complete the handover, Mi Yang set the date for the handover of the two sides on the third day.

However, although Mi Yang is anxious to hand over, he will not take the enemy lightly.

Mi Yang always remembered that at present, Zhang He led tens of thousands of cavalry troops to eyeing him.

The place where the two sides handed over prisoners of war to each other was outside the city of Thornyang.

Thorn Yang City is still under Sima Yi's control.

This is the only thing Sima Yi asked Mi Yang to make.

For this request, Mi Yang has no idea of refusing.

Because although the city of Thorn Yang was under the control of the Wei army, there was a flood of water flowing outside it.

Under the penetration of the water, the Han army, which has the advantage of a naval army, can be said to advance and retreat freely.

With such a terrain, Zhang He's cavalry could not play much effect.

Therefore, using the outside of Jianyang City as the location for the exchange of prisoners of war between the two armies is indeed a result that both sides can satisfy.

And when the day of the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides came, a large number of Han warships flying crimson battle flags slowly appeared on the Weishui River outside Jianyang City.

The sun was shining, the red flag was swaggering, and when these many Han warships appeared, the Wei army inside and outside the city of Jianyang was like a great enemy.

Mi Yang arrived.

There is still a chapter before 12 o'clock.

(End of chapter)
