Judging from the map, Liu Bei's newly established Liangzhou included almost the entire northern border of Yizhou.

The geographical location of Liangzhou is equivalent to a super-sized version of Hanzhong County.

The strategic significance of Hanzhong in the past was to serve as the northern gateway to Yizhou, resisting the invasion of Cao Wei for Yizhou.

On the other hand, it was used as a strategic base for the Han to take the initiative to invade Guanzhong in the north.

Since Liangzhou is an enlarged version of Hanzhong County, its strategic significance is naturally equivalent to that of Hanzhong County.

And because the territory of Liangzhou covers thousands of miles, his strategic significance is more profound than that of Hanzhong.

Although the three counties of Tianshui, Longxi, and Wudu are not currently in the hands of the Han army, the geographical location of these three counties is very important.

Judging from the map, these three counties are the first line of defense for Chang'an to defend Hanzhong, once these three counties fall into the hands of the Han army, then the entire Yongliang land is about to be exposed to the Han army's troops at all times.

Naturally, Chang'an is also included.

The strategic significance of Liu Bei's new establishment of Liangzhou can be roughly guessed by many people who have seen the map.

But what Mi Yang didn't expect was that Liu Bei's move to reset Liangzhou was actually for the next day to defeat Wu.

As for how to do this, Prime Minister Zhuge has already made it very clear in the secret recital.

Faced with Mi Yang's surprise, Liu Bei just patted Mi Yang's shoulder who was sitting below with deep meaning.

"Do you remember the battle of public security?

How many times have I dreamed back at midnight, I can't help but think, if there was no you that day, would Jingzhou be able to hold on to the situation that Shiren had already thrown himself into Jiangdong?

After calculating in my heart several times, I secretly felt a chill on my back.

I didn't dare to think much about how far the situation in Jingzhou would have eroded without you that day, and what would have happened to Yun Chang, who had been attacked before and after. ”

"And if the Han loses Jingzhou, then my life's dream may be in vain.

You may not know it, but since you joined the army, you have made many military exploits that have shocked the world.

It's just that the one that makes me feel the most satisfied, and what makes me feel the most gratified, has always been your public security battle.

That great victory was too important for me at that time.

Perhaps for me, I feel grateful to you. ”

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Mi Yang hurriedly bowed to Liu Bei, saying that he didn't dare to be.

Perhaps in this world, due to the appearance of Mi Yang, the incident of Guan Yu's defeat of Maicheng in history did not occur.

Therefore, many people in the world will not understand enough about the profound impact of the victory of the Han army in the first battle of public security.

But it is obvious that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and even Guan Yu, who has passed away, will not know how important that victory is to the Han.

Because of this, since Mi Yang won that big victory, it can be clearly seen that Liu Bei and Guan Yu have cultivated Mi Yang, and it can be said that they have spared no effort.

Among them, there is the reason why Liu Bei and Guan Yu are grateful to Mi Yang.

Liu Bei saw Mi Yang say to him that he didn't dare to be, he just smiled slightly.

He has changed his seat to sit on his side, a posture that relaxes his body and better reflects the true emotions of his current solo conversation with Mi Yang.

Now it is not the king who is teaching his courtiers, but the father who is speaking to his "sons".

Liu Bei continued: "Although the battle of public security was won by our side, but in that battle, I no longer had any hope for Sun Quan.

Even because of his wolf ambition and treacherous behavior at that time, I always thought about the eastward expedition to Jiangdong to vent my anger.

To this day, this thought in my heart has not diminished in the slightest.

It's just a pity that I am not a small county lieutenant now, and I can't act entirely on will, and in terms of the general trend of the world, this is not the time for the Han Dynasty to start a decisive battle with Jiangdong. ”

"But I don't forget the past, and I can't help but take precautions.

I know that maybe the person who comes to Japan to conquer Jiangdong may not be me, but that person must be you, Zicheng, do you understand what I expect from you? ”

When Liu Bei said this, Mi Yang felt a flame burning in his heart.

As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, Mi Yang bowed deeply to Liu Bei again, and replied: "The minister understands, and the minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

Seeing Mi Yang's appearance of not shirking and daring to do anything, Liu Bei was even more satisfied with Mi Yang in his heart.

It's just that Liu Bei, who regards Mi Yang as his nephew, wants to say more than this to Mi Yang.

"Over the past few years, you have been a leader in terms of military exploits. In terms of employing people, although you are still a little immature, you are still above the qualified level. ”

"There are only two things that I didn't worry about you before, one is friendship, and the other is politics.

As the saying goes, "go to the army to fight and plot, then to fight the enemy, and then to attack the army", the matter of cutting off the diplomatic relations is also a long-term strategy that has a bearing on the fate of the country.

Sun Quan's sinister intention of sending Zhang Wen to make friends with you, I knew from the beginning, and because I knew, I wanted to test your ability to make friends.

What you have done has made my image of a great man even more glorious in the hearts of the world, but it is not because of this alone.

The reputation of the Han Dynasty is with me and Kong Ming, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be any worse.

What I am most pleased about is that you have almost perfectly resolved a trap that Sun Quan has set for you and the Great Han, which fully reflects your ability to make friends.

To tell you the truth, after I learned about Sun Quan's offer of goodwill, even I felt very troubled.

I didn't expect that in this situation, you would still be able to adapt on the spot, and I am really happy. ”

Liu Bei's praise made Mi Yang smile.

However, looking at the smile on Mi Yang's face, Liu Bei subconsciously stretched out his hand and knocked Mi Yang's head.

"I will not hesitate to praise you for your good job, but don't be proud of it.

Fight one, and you won't let me down. But the next part of the administration is the time to really test your ability.

Liangzhou is poor and weak, what means can you use to exercise military strength, accumulate military rations, and think that it is the basis for the Northern Expedition in the coming days, and this kind of everything depends on your actions in the coming days.

This is also another intention of worshipping you as the pastor of Liang Zhou. ”

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Mi Yang fully understood why Liu Bei would make him the pastor of Liangzhou.

If Liu Bei only wanted to give himself more power in terms of military strategy, Liu Bei could have expanded the jurisdiction of the Yibei Prefecture and even strengthened his power in terms of power savings.

But Liu Bei didn't do that.

The power of the state pastor is well known to the world, and it is actually the essence of the princes, which can allow the state pastor to have great autonomy in the administration of the state.

Liu Bei has an obvious style of employing people, that is, when he tests you, he will inevitably give you the corresponding power, so that you can give full play to your talents without any scruples.

Another reason why Liu Bei made himself the pastor of Liangzhou was to show his governance talents!

Mi Yang, who understood this intention, couldn't help but think of the words that Zhuge Liang said to him in the mansion that night.

At that time, he didn't think there was anything, he just felt that it was Zhuge Liang's attention to him.

Even with the continuous events in the world, he could hardly spare his hands to fulfill his promise to Zhuge Liang that day.

And maybe Zhuge Liang has been in Chengdu, waiting to see his performance.

Now that I think about it, is the idea of him being the state pastor today really the first thing Liu Bei thought of?

Years of waiting in the dim light indirectly created his state pastor today.

This is a joint test of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang against him!

may also be Liu Bei's final test for himself.

Thinking of this, a solemn look immediately appeared on Mi Yang's face.

He was no longer sitting on the ground, he got up from the ground and came to the center of the banquet, and then bowed deeply to Liu Bei with an extremely standard courtier's courtesy:

"The minister will do his best to live up to Your Majesty."

When Mi Yang's mouth spit out the four words "do your best", Liu Bei's eyes couldn't help but light up.

These four words, which have been passed down through the ages, seem to have a magical magic power on Ji Han's idealists, so that as soon as they hear these four words, they will love these four words very much.

Liu Bei is naturally no exception.

Liu Bei laughed and slowly got up from the ground, came to Mi Yang's side, he pulled Mi Yang's deep body up, held his hand and said:

"Great, wonderful."

Liu Bei admits that he is not a monarch who is good at everything, but as a monarch, he has always wanted to find a successor of his ambition who is good at everything.

After saying this with a smile, Liu Bei put away his smile.

He looked at Mi Yang, who was already taller than himself, and thought of the child who kept frolicking around him back then, and his heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of emotion.

Many second generations have grown up, and he is getting older.

Liu Bei took Mi Yang's hand and led him all the way to the door of the banquet.

Liu Bei looked to the west.

"I'm leaving."

Looking at it, Liu Bei suddenly let out this whisper from his mouth.

The opening remarks of his private conversation with Mi Yang just now were this sentence, and now he said this sentence again, obviously using this sentence as the end of the private conversation.

When this whisper, which only the two of them could hear, came into Mi Yang's ears, Mi Yang heard many complicated meanings from Liu Bei's tone.

Reluctance, melancholy, and with some expectations.

After Liu Bei said this, he turned around and looked at Mi Yang deeply.

"I will be waiting for your performance in Chengdu."

After saying this, Liu Bei finally patted Mi Yang's shoulder hard, and then he didn't wait for Mi Yang to salute him, and strode towards the door.

When Liu Bei walked out of the lobby, as he moved farther and farther away from the lobby, a group of Yulin troops continued to appear from both sides behind him.

A group of tall Yulin soldiers guarded behind Liu Bei, completely covering his figure.

Seeing Liu Bei's figure gradually disappear in his eyes, Mi Yang felt a sad emotion flowing in his heart.

Separation is always sad.

This sentiment is especially strong when saying goodbye to an elder who has been so kind to him.

...

Liu Bei's speed was very fast, and after a while, he came outside the barracks.

At this time, outside the barracks, there were already a group of Han ministers and thousands of Yulin troops waiting.

These thousands of people were brought to Jingzhou by Liu Bei from Chengdu at the beginning.

After seeing Liu Bei's figure appear, thousands of people bowed in the direction of Liu Bei.

Today is the day they follow Liu Bei back to Chengdu.

Originally, they should have embarked on the journey back to Yizhou, but just before leaving, an elder was still worried about his son and nephew.

Liu Bei specially came to the barracks before leaving, thinking about making a final pass for his son and nephew before leaving.

If Mi Yang did not deal with it well, then what Zhang Wen personally faced would be the "love" from Liu Bei, the son of the Han Dynasty.

After joining up with the ministers of the Han army, Liu Bei did not step on the car of the Son of Heaven, which symbolized comfort and dignity, at the suggestion of the ministers.

He ordered a horse to be brought.

In the face of Liu Bei's order, many of the ministers who accompanied him showed dissuasion on their faces.

Liu Bei is a good son of heaven right away, but he has more than sixty years this year.

The road into the river is difficult to travel, and it is not comfortable to ride a war horse into the river, and it is really not safe for an old man like Liu Bei.

But in the face of the dissuasion of the ministers, Liu Bei ignored it and insisted on doing it.

At Liu Bei's insistence, a Yulin army soon brought a tall war horse.

Before and after Shenjun's war horse was led, Liu Bei's face showed a look of nostalgia.

Although his body could not be compared with that of his prime, with his excellent physical fitness, Liu Bei still sat on the war horse smoothly.

Liu Bei, who was sitting on the war horse, felt that his vision suddenly widened.

Since he is the emperor immediately, how can he be nostalgic for the chariot?

Liu Bei, who was in a good mood, immediately took the lead in driving in front of thousands of people and led them to the west.

It was only after walking a distance that Liu Bei felt some obstruction between his thighs.

In between the horses, Liu Bei stretched out his hand and touched the flesh between his inner thighs.

When his hand touched there, Liu Bei felt that some fat seemed to grow on his inner thighs.

After discovering this, Liu Bei's thoughts couldn't help but think back to the banquet more than ten years ago, and a helpless smile appeared on his face at the right time.

Jingsheng has become loess, but his hip flesh has been resurrected again.

If you think about it carefully, although he has ridden horses from time to time since the First World War in Hanzhong, the royal horse he traveled on behalf of him and the imperial horse during the battle are two different things, which does not prevent his hip from being revived.

It's been a long time since he's fought in person.

Time flies, he is already a dying old man, but the ambition in his heart has not yet been realized, this is really the saddest thing in the world.

But Liu Bei today is very different from him who was trapped in Xinye back then.

So after a moment of sadness, Liu Bei's heart suddenly appeared with surging ambition.

Liu Bei touched the flesh on the inner thigh, as if he was cheering himself up and said as if jokingly:

"The Han family is not prosperous, how can you be resurrected?"

"You wait a few more years, and when the Northern Expedition comes to Japan, I will definitely eliminate you on the land of Guanzhong."

After saying the above words, Liu Bei raised his gaze from between his legs with satisfaction.

He looked at the rugged and uneven road not far ahead, he looked at the sky in front of him was gloomy as if there was a wind and rain coming, and he looked at Liu Bei and waved his horsewhip decisively.

Under Liu Bei's vigorous whip, the war horse under his crotch suffered pain and galloped forward with him.

】

And this scene undoubtedly frightened the Hanchen and Han troops behind him.

There were many Han Chen and Han soldiers on horseback who chased Liu Bei one after another, and when they chased Liu Bei, they kept exclaiming:

"The road ahead is bumpy, Your Majesty gallop carefully!"

Bursts of exclamations reached Liu Bei's ears along the wind, and Liu Bei couldn't help laughing wantonly after hearing this exclamation.

"With a whip in hand, you can see the scenery of the world."

"Since the road ahead is bumpy and the time is not waiting for me, then I should strive to move forward.

Only death will rest! ”

This is him Liu Bei!

Chang'an, you wait for me for a few years.

...
