Chapter 523: The Son of Heaven Personally Sends the Army to Praise
On October 28, the fourth year of Han Zhangwu, outside Yangping Pass.
Today's Liu Bei is unprecedentedly wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven, which symbolizes majesty.
Because today is the day of Mi Yang's expedition.
As the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, in order to maximize the effect of the strategy of attacking the east and the west, Mi Yang must lead the army before Liu Bei.
On the vast land, 50,000 Han soldiers stood with guns, and many Han army flags hunted in the cold wind.
Due to the reconstitution of the army, the 50,000 Han troops were like a city wall across the plain, which made people feel terrible.
According to the previous plan, the army led by Mi Yang was a suspicious army, and the number of people did not need to be too much, around 10,000.
But today, in order to see off Mi Yang, even if the remaining 40,000 Han troops do not go on the expedition today, Liu Bei still specially issued an edict to let the 50,000 Han troops gather outside Yangping Pass to see off Mi Yang, the general of the Han Dynasty.
Today, Mi Yang saw off not only 50,000 Han troops, but also a group of civil and military officials who followed Liu Bei to Liangzhou.
Among these civil and military officials, there are many three princes and nine secretaries like Xu Jing and Lai Gong.
Tens of thousands of Han soldiers lined up with their bodies, the three princes and the nine kings bowed together, and the Son of Heaven even gave it away with wine, such an honor that few ministers could enjoy in the four hundred years of the entire Han Dynasty.
And this is exactly the pomp that Liu Bei prepared for his general, even if his general's combat mission is not the main one.
But Liu Bei knew that today he could avoid the situation of the loss of his family and country, and today he could stand outside Yangping Pass and look forward to the Northern Expedition with great ambition, all of which were the credit of the great general in front of him.
With such a great credit in his body, Liu Bei thinks that everything he has done today is nothing.
Liu Bei held a warm wine in his hand, and under the banner fluttering in the wind, he said with some emotion:
"At the beginning, you were in Yangping Pass, attacking and killing tens of thousands of thieves, and severely frustrating the thieves' spirit.
When I learned the news in Chengdu, I was able to sweep away the depression in my heart for many days, and at that time I looked forward to you making greater contributions to the Han Dynasty.
Later, you did live up to my expectations. β
Seeing Liu Bei talk about this, a smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth.
He was able to become a great general because of that battle.
But after saying this, Liu Bei's tone of voice disappeared with emotion, and was replaced by a little apology:
"After that war, I tried my best to worship you as a general, but after all, there was one more line.
What I thought was that after you made a greater contribution to the Han Dynasty, I would personally come to Nanzheng to hold a formal and grand worship ceremony for you.
But now that you have established a greater meritorious service, I am unable to hold this grand event for you because of the urgency of the Northern Expedition.
I feel guilty. β
The general, who is above the three dukes, has a heavy weight in the political system of the Han Dynasty.
For such an important official position, according to common sense, the imperial court is to hold a grand worship meeting for the worshippers.
And Liu Bei also had such plans at the beginning.
But unfortunately, after the victory in Liangzhou, the entire Han Dynasty has been intensively preparing for the Northern Expedition, so this matter was inevitably delayed.
And if there is no official and grand worship meeting, then Mi Yang's name of the general will have to hang a line after all.
In terms of Mi Yang's special achievements, it is obvious that Liu Bei does owe Mi Yang.
It's just that Mi Yang doesn't care much about this.
As a man of the Han Dynasty, Mi Yang naturally wanted to stand on the high platform of Qiyun, and under the watchful eye, he was personally worshiped as a general by Liu Bei.
But at present, the Northern Expedition is important, and Mi Yang can understand this.
Moreover, although Liu Bei did not have time to prepare for the grand worship conference, Liu Bei has not stopped rewarding him for other rewards during this period of time.
Liu Bei not only issued an edict to increase Miyang's food by 7,000 households, thus officially making Miyang the first marquis of 10,000 households in the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei also issued an edict to make Guan Yan the lord of Qinghe County, and even named Mi Yang's son, who was less than three years old, as the captain of Fengche.
The county lord is a title that can only be possessed by the emperor's daughter, and Liu Bei named Guan Yan the county lord of Qinghe, obviously declaring to the world that Guan Yan's status in the Han Dynasty in the future is equivalent to his daughter.
And Fengche Commander is an official position with a rank of 2,000 stones, although he has no real power, he can enjoy food.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fengche Duwei has often been given as a reward by the emperor to the children of meritorious heroes who have made great contributions.
For example, after Fa Miao's death, he was also rewarded by Liu Bei with the official position of Fengche Duwei.
Although the position of Fengche Duwei is not uncommon, Liu Bei actually rewarded him to Mi Cheng, such a precedent in the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that only Emperor Xiaowu has done this.
When the world often says, a man's greatest ambition in life is nothing more than to make meritorious achievements and make a wife and son.
Not to mention the rewards he has received for the time being, just in terms of sealing his wife and son, Liu Bei has already made Mi Yang get the greatest honor as much as possible.
Liu Bei's reward was so great that it was too late for Mi Yang to be grateful, so how could he feel dissatisfied?
Anyway, with the credit of Liangzhou's great victory, that grand worship meeting will definitely belong to Mi Yang, sooner or later.
It's just that Mi Xuan didn't know that Liu Bei also secretly prepared a big gift for him.
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Mi Yang hurriedly bowed to Liu Bei and said, "The minister has never minded this matter, so why should Your Majesty be worried?" β
"Besides."
Speaking of this, Mi Yang deliberately paused.
Liu Bei was attracted by Mi Yang's pause.
Even the ministers beside Liu Bei were the same.
Then Liu Bei and the ministers heard Mi Yang's next words:
"Besides, if the minister is allowed to choose, the minister is unwilling to accept the official worship of His Majesty in this time and place."
When Mi Yang finished saying this, Liu Bei and the ministers were very surprised.
Can the ministers have this choice?
The important thing is that ordinary people can get such a worship conference, and they are already fortunate for three lives, and the general is still picky about the time and place?
When Mi Yang's "presumptuousness" surprised everyone, Mi Yang said what he really thought in his heart.
"May Your Majesty step through the Wei, sit on the couch of Weiyang, and return to the old capital with the posture of Zhongxing, and then on the top of the Nine Heavens Palace in Chang'an, worship the ministers as the generals, and pay the ministers to seek the power of the Quartet.
In this way, the courtiers will be repaid! β
When he heard Mi Yang's words, Liu Bei was stunned at first, and then immediately burst into laughter.
This kid!
Why was Liu Bei suddenly so happy?
The reason is that Mi Yang's words are ostensibly expressing his "greed", but in fact, they are blessings that Liu Bei can successfully return the temple to Chang'an after this war.
This can be said to be Liu Bei's greatest wish at the moment.
For such a blessing, coupled with Mi Yang's words and very beautiful, how could Liu Bei not feel extremely comfortable in his heart?
More importantly, Mi Yang also said something similar back then.
That time was after the victory of Miyang Public Security, Liu Bei held a reward meeting for Miyang at Gaotai outside Jiangling City.
At that time, Liu Bei was still the king of Hanzhong, and Mi Yang was only a small general.
A few years have passed, not only have the identities of the two changed dramatically, but even the national fortunes of the Han have been reversed with Mi Yang's efforts.
And under this situation, Mi Yang's words are undoubtedly more authentic than back then, and of course they can make Liu Bei feel happier.
After laughing, Liu Bei, who was extremely happy in his heart, promised in public:
"Good! Good! Good! β
"On that day, you and I should share the joy!"
After getting Liu Bei's promise, Mi Yang smiled contentedly.
Then Mi Yang saw that it was not early, so he bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the minister to go!" β
Mi Yang's reminder brought Liu Bei back from his pleasure, and he glanced up at the sundial not far away.
yes, it's getting late.
Although the time together is very happy, for the sake of Dahan's future, the two finally have a moment of separation.
The smile on Liu Bei's face gradually retracted, and he handed the wine in his hand to Mi Yang, who also unceremoniously drank the wine sent by Liu Bei.
After drinking the wine in the cup, Mi Yang bowed to Liu Bei three times again and again, and then jumped onto the war horse beside him.
When Mi Yang sat on the war horse, the formation of tens of thousands of Han troops outside Yangping Pass sounded the majestic war drums.
A group of Han troops who followed Mi Yang on the expedition began to march in the direction of the Baochuan Road under the command of generals and colonels at all levels.
The sound of stepping on the ground one after another hit Liu Bei's heart, and he couldn't help but stop Mi Yang, who was leaving.
"Zisheng!"
Mi Yang, who heard Liu Bei's call, immediately turned around in confusion.
After seeing Mi Yang's puzzled gaze, Liu Bei said loudly:
"The road ahead is long, go slowly!"
A few simple words reveal Liu Bei's deep concern for Mi Yang.
And after hearing Liu Bei's instructions, Mi Yang showed Liu Bei a smile that reassured him.
Then Mi Yang drove the war horse under his crotch to walk into the distance.
Even if there are endless enemies in front of you, but there are elders behind you, so why be afraid?
Young people are fighting swords and moving forward!
Pi goose, I'm coming.
Although he promised Liu Bei to go all the way slowly, for Mi Yang, it was impossible to be slow.
There was no Ji Han general who would slow himself down during the Northern Expedition.
Since the departure of Yangping Pass, Mi Yang has led tens of thousands of Han troops, and has been advancing rapidly towards the Baochuan Road along the way.
A few days later, Mi Yang led his army to the valley mouth of the Baochuan Road.
But after leading the army to the valley mouth of the Baochuan Road, Mi Yang ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate.
Then he summoned the three henchmen of Fa Miao, Zhou Tai, and Meng Da.
Before leaving Liangzhou, Mi Yang entrusted the main affairs of Liangzhou to Wu Yi and LΓΌ Yi respectively.
Among them, Wu Yi is mainly responsible for military affairs, and Lu Yi is mainly responsible for government affairs.
Under the division of labor and cooperation between the two, the post-war recovery work in Liangzhou will be carried out in an orderly manner.
And because of the number of capable generals, they were all stuffed by Mi Yang to Liu Bei's side for various reasons, and now the henchmen who can be used by Mi Yang's side are Fa Miao, Zhou Tai, and Meng Da.
However, although there are not many henchmen around, they are still enough.
Mi Yang first looked at Meng Da.
If you look closely, the hair on Meng Da's head has grown a lot, and it's time to stroke him again.
And after Meng Da saw Mi Yang's eager gaze, he felt that this gaze had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
No, no, again!?
