In October of the fourth year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty entered Liangzhou from the Sword Pavilion.

Mi Yang, who got the news in advance, led a group of civil and military ministers in Liangzhou to wait for Liu Bei outside the city gate early.

When the daylight in the sky became more and more dim, after waiting for nearly a whole day, I finally saw a large number of Yulin Army figures appear in the mottled sunset.

As Liu Bei's pro-army, Yulinjun's appearance also means that Liu Bei is not far away.

And before Mi Yang's gaze could catch it for a long time, a figure that had not been seen for a long time, but had been missed countless times in his heart, appeared in his sight.

In front of the military formation of thousands of Yulin troops, a white-haired emperor did not wear a dignified and solemn crown of the Son of Heaven, but instead sat on a tall horse wearing armor and continued to advance towards Nanzheng City.

Just as Mi Yang is looking for Liu Bei's figure, why is Liu Bei, who is sitting on a horse, not looking for Mi Yang's figure?

In an instant, the eyes of a monarch and a minister suddenly met in the air.

After the two pairs of Ying eyes looked at each other, Liu Bei and Mi Yang's faces subconsciously showed smiles.

For the world, Liu Bei is the founder of the Han Dynasty and the founder of the country whose achievements are comparable to those of his ancestors, and Mi Yang is a world-famous general who has won a hundred battles and shocked the world.

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 Dasima a hundred years ago.

But in the hearts of Liu Bei and Mi Yang, the relationship between the other party and himself is not just as simple as a monarch and a minister.

After seeing Mi Yang's figure, Liu Bei happily waved his horsewhip, making his speed faster in an instant.

Soon after, Liu Bei, who was in the lead, came to Mi Yang's side.

When the ministers behind Mi Yang saw Liu Bei coming, they immediately gave Liu Bei a big salute, but Liu Bei turned a blind eye to the courtesy of the ministers, and his eyes were only on Mi Yang at this moment.

"My general, how have you been!"

When Liu Bei said this, a hearty laugh came out of his mouth.

This laughter proved his irrepressible joy after seeing Mi Yang.

And Mi Yang was overjoyed in the face of Liu Bei's greetings.

He bowed to Liu Bei on the horse and said, "Everything is fine."

It's just that the minister misses His Majesty very much. ”

Even though there were thousands of armor soldiers around, even if there were hundreds of officials gathered behind him, Mi Yang still said this sentence without any scruples.

After hearing Mi Yang's heart, Liu Bei's laughter never stopped.

And when Mi Yang's ministers heard the first words that the pair of monarchs and ministers said to each other after meeting, their hearts were all surprised.

You must know that the identities of Liu Bei and Mi Yang are not simple, and it is now the juncture of the Han army's rearmament and the upcoming Northern Expedition.

Liu Bei, the emperor, when he met Mi Yang, the general, the first thing the two talked about was not national affairs, but a catharsis of personal feelings.

This gave the ministers present a strong sense of disobedience in their hearts.

I have long heard that the personal relationship between the general and His Majesty is excellent, but when I see it today, where can the relationship between the two of them be described by the word excellent?

It is appropriate to describe it clearly as a father and son.

And Jiang Wei, one of the ministers, suddenly remembered something in his heart 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 to appease the army's morale - after this battle, I am afraid that Mi Yang's achievements will be high.

For a general, it is definitely not a good word, and it is difficult for a famous general with high merit in history to have a good end.

But after seeing today's situation, Jiang Wei felt scornful of Guo Huai's inference in his heart.

Regarding the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers, Cao Wei still wants to separate?

It's ridiculous.

After expressing a burst of satisfied laughter, Liu Bei leaned towards Mi Yang and said:

"It's getting dark, and the general isn't going to get me into the city soon.

Could it be that the general wants to sleep in the wilderness? ”

Liu Bei's joke made Mi Yang feel a little funny, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He bowed down to Liu Bei's horse, personally took the reins for Liu Bei, and then pulled the horse and took Liu Bei to Nanzheng City.

At this moment, the Yulin army has not yet come to the city.

But there was no need for the Yulin Army to enter the city in advance to investigate the hidden dangers, Liu Bei just let Mi Yang, who was "the master of high merit", slowly bring him into Nanzheng City.

Watching Mi Yang lead the way for himself, a look of nostalgia appeared in Liu Bei's eyes.

Mi Yang was raised by his side when he was a child.

Because of the debt to the Mi family, and Liu Bei had no young heirs under his knees at that time, he really loved and cultivated Mi Yang as a son.

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 the timid character can not be corrected in a while.

In the beginning, Mi Yang completely regarded his teaching of riding as a kind of entertainment.

And whenever the sun sets, he will sit on the horse with Mi Yang in his arms and escort him to Xinye City.

There seems to be a lot of overlap between the scene of the past and the scene now.

The only thing that has changed is that he is old and Mi Yang has grown up.

More than ten years is enough to change many things, he is no longer General Zuo under the fence, and Mi Yang is not a panicked child.

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, but now Mi Yang supports him and walks towards the distant Guanzhong step by step.

It's a good feeling.

And maybe Mi Yang also had a similar feeling, so he didn't take the initiative to speak along the way.

In the wide streets, there is only the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of more than 100 ministers following behind.

I don't know how long it took, just before the sky was about to completely darken, Mi Yang finally brought Liu Bei to the governor's mansion in Nanzheng City.

Since Liu Bei ascended 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 governor's mansion.

After Liu Bei stepped into the state pastor's mansion, he saw the Mi Yang family waiting in the mansion.

At present, in Nanzheng City, there are only two people in Mi Yang's family - Guan Yan and Mi Cheng.

When Liu Bei saw Xiao Micheng, a kind smile instantly appeared on his face.

Liu Chan just got married this year, so naturally he didn't give birth to a grandson for him so soon, but this year's Liu Bei is more than sixty years old.

At Liu Bei's age, it is enough to be a grandfather and a great-grandfather.

When Liu Bei was in previous years, why didn't he think about enjoying the fun of teasing his grandson?

And because of his affection for Mi Yang and Guan Yan, Liu Bei regarded Xiao Mi Cheng as his half grandson in his heart the moment he saw him.

Liu Bei asked Guan Yan to hug Xiao Micheng in front of him with a kind face.

Xiao Mi Cheng didn't recognize his life either, and after seeing a kind old man open his hands to him, he threw himself into his arms without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Micheng's intimate performance made Liu Bei laugh happily.

While holding Xiao Mi Cheng, he pointed at Mi Yang and said with a smile to Guan Yan:

This son is more courageous than his father, Zisheng was still very afraid of life when he was five years old, and he cried all day long.

At that time, I thought that Zisheng was cowardly and weak, and it would be difficult to be of great use in the future. ”

Liu Bei's words were conclusive, 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 described as childhood sweethearts, what was Mi Yang like when she was a child, can she still not know?

After praising Xiao Micheng, looking at Xiao Micheng's fleshy face, Liu Bei suddenly said:

"The heir is already married this year, and if it is soon, I think there will be an heir next year.

Before I left Chengdu, I had already thought that if the first son was born to the heir, then I would send this first grandson to Zisheng in the future to be raised.

If the first daughter born to the heir is a daughter, then I will make a marriage contract for her and Cheng'er.

What do you guys think? ”

After saying this, Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang and Guan Yan.

But his gaze mainly stayed on Mi Yang's body.

And after Mi Yang saw Liu Bei's meaningful gaze, he who had always been shrewd quickly understood Liu Bei's deep meaning.

Liu Chan and Zhang Fei's eldest daughter got married in Chengdu this spring.

After Liu Chan succeeds to the throne in the future, there is no doubt that Zhang Fei's eldest daughter will become the queen of the Han Dynasty.

The first son born to the emperor and the empress was the eldest son who represented the inheritance of the legal system.

Coupled with the forces behind the Zhang family, her first son will be a sure prince of the Han Dynasty in the future.

Liu Bei wants to send this first imperial grandson with special political significance to his side to be raised, and eat and sit with Mi Cheng, does this need to say more about the deep meaning?

This is to let the Mi family, in the era when three generations of Han emperors were in power, enjoy the honor of the top of the ministers.

The marriage contract is also for 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 matter of high merit and shocking the master.

But Mi Yang's high merit is a fact, and as an emperor, he can't pretend to turn a blind eye to this.

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?

Regarding the worries in his heart, if it was Cao Cao, it would definitely be a practice of preferring to kill mistakes and not letting go, but Liu Bei has his own unique means of dealing with it.

Tie it with kindness and righteousness, and hope that you will not be negative.

After understanding the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words, Mi Yang bowed to Liu Bei and said:

"Your Majesty's arrangement, the minister naturally has no objection."

After seeing that Mi Yang was willing to accept his arrangement, Liu Bei's mood was obviously a little better.

At this time, the ministers who followed behind just now were also entering the state governor's mansion one after another.

Looking at the ministers who were constantly gathering in the rear, Liu Bei reluctantly put down Xiao Micheng.

He instructed Guan Yan: "Raise him well." ”

After saying this, Liu Bei took Mi Yang and walked towards the lobby on the side.

After Liu Bei and Mi Yang entered the hall one after another, many civil ministers and military generals gathered outside the hall also entered the hall in their own order.

The Northern Expedition was the main purpose of Liu Bei's trip north.

Liu Bei, who felt that time was running out, didn't want to waste a night's time in vain.

On the day he arrived in Nanzheng, he convened a council to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition.

By the time Hanchen had entered, the sky outside the hall had been completely obscured by darkness.

Immediately, many attendants in the hall spontaneously lit the surrounding candles, and after the candles in the hall were lit, the originally dark hall instantly became bright.

In the hall full of seats, Liu Beigao sat on the top, and it was Mi Yang who sat not far below him.

And behind Liu Bei, at this moment, the map of Guanzhong was hanging high.

After seeing that all the ministers sat down, Liu Bei didn't say much about the opening remarks, he glanced at the ministers present, and then spoke:

"In the first battle of Liangzhou, the thief army was defeated, resulting in the emptiness of Guanzhong.

Now is a great time for our army's Northern Expedition, I don't know what strategy Zhu Qing can help me in the Northern Expedition and recover Chang'an! ”

Liu Bei's majestic voice floated through the silent hall.

At this moment, he was no longer the kind and kind old man just now, but an emperor who was always exuding majesty.

But after Liu Bei's words fell for a long time, no minister in the hall came out to speak.

It's not that they weren't enthusiastic about the Northern Expedition, on the contrary, everyone here felt honored that they could participate in the Northern Expedition.

It's not that they're all unwise, 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.

After Mi Yang saw Liu Bei asking the ministers, all the ministers looked at him in unison, and his first reaction was to feel a little inexplicable.

Your Majesty is asking you, if you don't think about countermeasures, what's the use of me?

But then Mi Yang quickly understood the reason why Hanchen was like this.

It's really his record that is too dazzling.

Under 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, so why do you still talk about it?

Just listen to the general!

After understanding the thoughts of the Hanchens, Mi Yang felt a little helpless.

Before this conference, he had the intention of hearing the best strategy, but in the current situation, this is unlikely.

Thinking of this, Mi Yang could only stand up under the attention of the ministers.

When Mi Yang stood up, he didn't notice Jiang Wei standing behind him, with a look of eagerness on his face.

And when Mi Yang stood up, the faces of all the ministers in the hall were all straight, including Liu Bei.

It's coming, it's coming.

Mi Yang first walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to Liu Bei, and then under the gaze of everyone, he came to the high hanging map and said to everyone:

"The first battle of Liangzhou made the Guanzhong sergeant not two out of ten, which means that it is difficult for the thief army to conduct a large-scale infantry field battle with our army without reinforcements.

However, the purpose of our army's northern expedition was to recover the lost territory, not to fight the enemy in the field.

After the First World War of Xiangfan, Cao Pi accepted the advice of Jia Xu and Sima Yi to repair the city defenses in various important cities in Guanzhong, and to this day, Guanzhong is full of strong cities.

This is the biggest obstacle to our army's Northern Expedition. ”

When he said this, Mi Yang's tone was dignified.

His words mean that the Han army will be engaged in the most arduous siege battle next.

And the fortified city in Guanzhong is by no means just as simple.

Today's chapter is slow.

Tomorrow 2 chapters.
