For the first time.

This is the first time that Mi Yang has unabashedly shown his prestige in front of the minister.

Obviously, Xu Ci was frightened by this sudden first time.

Beads of sweat continued to slide down Xu Ci's face, looking at the face close at hand, Xu Ci felt that Mi Yang was so strange at this moment.

The post of general has an incomparably lofty status in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.

Except for the special point of this dynasty, whether it is the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, the position of the general is above the prime minister and the three dukes.

And once the Son of Heaven is too young or for other reasons to be in power, then the first auxiliary minister must be a general.

Even if there is no general among the auxiliary ministers, then this auxiliary political team will not be recognized by the world at all.

What's more, Mi Yang's general is not the result of Liu Bei's cronyism, but he got it with many amazing achievements.

In the wild scholars, some courtiers' discussions and suggestions, as a too often, Xu Ci had the confidence to refute them face to face.

But if Mi Yang agrees with this matter, will Xu Ci still have this confidence?

Xu Ci didn't know what Mi Yang would do to him next.

Due to the fear in his heart, Xu Ci's throat subconsciously kept swallowing saliva, and after a long time, Xu Ci stammered in response to Mi Yang:

"Minister, no, don't dare!"

After hearing Xu Ci's answer, Mi Yang slowly raised his body.

The chill in Mi Yang's eyes was gradually subsiding.

"Taichang is in charge of the temple etiquette, and at most one month is a major ceremony for His Majesty to pay homage to the ancestral tomb.

Xu Qing still has to focus more on this state affair, and he has his own plans for other things. ”

If what Xu Ci said just now is an opinion for Mi Yang, then what Mi Yang said to Xu Ci right now is an order.

And Mi Yang, who has the responsibility of supervising the country, issued an order to Xu Ci, which is legal and reasonable.

Seeing that Mi Yang did not continue to release his power, but was willing to give him a step down, Xu Ciru was pardoned.

Mi Yang's tone and attitude just now, Xu Ci thought that he would not be able to get out of Shangshutai today.

But even if Mi Yang did not punish himself severely, Xu Ci was happy in his heart, but he was also constantly afraid.

Xu Ci swore that he would never want to repeat Fang Cai's experience again.

Facing the steps handed by Mi Yang, Xu Ci thanked him again and again.

"Minister, minister knows.

The minister then retired. ”

After saying this, Xu Ci hurriedly jumped up from his seat like a rabbit with a burned butt, and then left the hall as fast as he could in his life.

Looking at the back of Xu Ci leaving in a hurry, Mi Yang looked at him leisurely, turned around and sat down on the main seat.

Mi Yang didn't let people summon Ma Liang and the others back at the first time, he was waiting for someone to appear.

Mi Yang didn't wait too long, and after seeing that there was no one else in the hall, one person slowly walked out of the screen behind the hall.

This person is Jiang Ji!

At the beginning, Ma Chao not only killed Xu Chu outside Tongguan, but also captured many Wei troops.

And Jiang Ji was one of those captives.

After being captured by Ma Chao, Jiang Jideng, who wanted to live, found an opportunity to report his identity to Ma Chao.

Knowing that Jiang Ji, a famous man in the world, was captured by himself, Ma Chao hurriedly summoned him.

It's just that what Jiang Ji really wants to see is not Ma Chao.

"Ji has something to tell the general, and I hope the general will report it on his behalf."

Just this sentence made Ma Chao send Jiang Ji to Chang'an City as soon as possible.

Jiang Ji's arrival, even Mi Yang didn't expect it.

However, with Jiang Ji's reputation in the world, it is worth seeing Mi Yang.

Few people know what Mi Yang and Jiang Ji said at that meeting.

But after that meeting, Mi Yang allowed Jiang Ji to regain his freedom and put it by his side.

Jiang Ji, who was dressed in plain clothes, slowly walked in front of Mi Yang, and after bowing to Mi Yang, Jiang Ji couldn't help but say:

"Ji thought that the general would use his life to pave the way for his own plan."

There was confusion and surprise in Jiang Ji's tone.

But Jiang Ji's words made Mi Yang chuckle.

"Although Lone does not want his plan to fail, he is even more unwilling to disregard human life."

After deciding to promote the posthumous posthumous crowning of Guan Yu as king, Mi Yang knew that this matter would definitely cause strong opposition from ministers like Xu Ci.

Mi Yang knew that for ministers like Xu Ci, it was useless to use the same flexible guidance method as for the Kansai family.

Politics pays attention to both rigidity and softness, and for ministers like Xu Ci, sometimes they have to be a little tougher.

It's just that the reason why Xu Ci has strong opposition is that in the final analysis, he is also thinking about the Han Dynasty, so Mi Yang has to pay attention to the degree of "rigidity".

It is impossible to kill Xu Ci, and he is not Cao Cao.

But as a general, is it illegal to occasionally shake your majesty?

After so many battles, you can't enjoy it.

He's not a saint.

Mi Yang's answer made Jiang Ji feel that he had understood Mi Yang again.

Immediately, Jiang Ji thought about it and said: "After Xu Taichang leaves Shangshutai, I think that the attitude of today's general will be inadvertently revealed."

In this way, when the general of the chariot cavalry returns to the court, then the matter of chasing the seal will be a matter of course. ”

Jiang Ji's judgment, Mi Yang agreed.

"In this way, it will not be in vain for you and me to plan hard."

Mi Yang's words had a pun in them, and Jiang Ji naturally understood.

He had to insist on Mi Yang before, in order to find a new master.

After seeing Mi Yang, Jiang Ji offered Mi Yang a plan in order to arouse Mi Yang's attention to him.

It was that strategy that gave him the capital to stay by Mi Yang's side now.

It was precisely that strategy that finally contributed to Mi Yang's desire to promote the pursuit of Guan Yu as king in advance.

After a short silence, Mi Yang said to Jiang Jiyan:

"Tomorrow, you will first go to the lonely Si Wencao to take up a post.

After the dust settles on the posthumous seal, Lone hopes that today's events will be known by Cao Rong and Sun Quan. ”

Since its establishment, in addition to collecting intelligence for Mi Yang, Si Wencao has also undertaken an important task - to spread some things that Mi Yang wants the enemy to know.

Faced with Mi Yang's arrangement, Jiang Ji naturally had no reason to refuse.

Although Si Wencao is only a subordinate institution in the shogunate, and his status does not seem to be high on the surface, he actually has a lot of power.

In this regard, Mi Yang did not break his word to him, and he was indeed reusing him.

"Thank you, General.

From now on, the minister is willing to serve the general! ”

The documents sent from Chang'an arrived outside Wancheng at the end of November.

When Zhang Fei, who was stationed outside Wancheng, got the document written by Mi Yang himself, he immediately laughed.

In terms of position, Mi Yang, who is now a general, is qualified to order Zhang Fei.

But in the paperwork, Mi Yang screamed one by one.

Not only that, but Mi Yang used a pleading tone.

Mi Yang's attitude made Zhang Fei extremely useful.

Zhang Fei sat on the main seat and showed the documents sent by Mi Yang to the generals present one by one.

After the generals saw the contents of the document, strange looks appeared on their faces.

And the strange look on the faces of the generals became even more intense under Zhang Fei's words.

"Zisheng is really, he doesn't have the majesty of a general at all.

He has such a soft temperament, how can he live in some old ministers who don't know what to do.

If you want me to withdraw and return to the DPRK, I just need to be short, and I have to write something that I don't have. ”

Judging from the content, Zhang Fei's words seem to be dissatisfied with Mi Yang's behavior.

But when Zhang Fei said this, his mouth was almost to the edge of the sky.

If it weren't for his uncle's demeanor, Zhang Fei's deafening laughter would have spread throughout the entire military tent.

If Xu Ci was here, he was afraid that after hearing Zhang Fei's words, he would have to spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The generals here are not blind.

After they saw Zhang Fei's expression, none of them responded to Zhang Fei's words.

They don't know how to get back.

Seeing that none of the generals responded to him, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Zhang Fei's face.

Or his own nephew will come, like someone else, all elm heads.

Zhang Fei quietly put away his thoughts of showing off.

Showing off is showing off, and the right thing still has to be done.

After a little silence, Zhang Fei said to the generals present:

"Since the general summoned me to withdraw and return to the court, then this matter cannot be delayed."

In fact, even if there was no Mi Yang's paperwork, Zhang Fei already had the intention of retiring from the army in his heart.

The city defense of Wancheng is too strong.

During the months of besieging Wancheng, Zhang Fei lost many soldiers, but he was never able to take Wancheng.

For the besieging side, a protracted siege operation will greatly deplete their morale and strength.

In addition to this reason, Deng Ai's reminder also made Zhang Fei have scruples.

"Please be careful to the east, General."

After Deng Ai came to Wancheng, in addition to participating in the siege war on the one hand, he also focused part of his energy on Huainan.

Under the military concern of Huainan, it is not difficult to see with Deng Ai's intelligence that since Sun Quan went to Hefei, the Jiangdong army has been in a state of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

This situation is quite similar to when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army.

After realizing this, Deng Ai immediately reminded Zhang Fei.

And after getting Deng Ai's reminder, Zhang Fei couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Due to the scruples in his heart, Zhang Fei not only did not continue to transfer the soldiers and horses from Jingzhou to Wancheng for several months, but also let the soldiers and horses outside Wancheng return to defend part of Jingzhou.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Feijiu couldn't capture Wancheng.

All in all, Zhang Fei felt that it was not a wise thing to continue to besiege Wancheng at the moment.

The document sent by Mi Yang coincided with what Zhang Fei was thinking.

If it coincides, then it will be pushed with the current.

The generals also had no opinion on Zhang Fei's execution of Miyang's "order".

After Zhang Fei said that, they were all waiting for Zhang Fei to arrange specific matters for the withdrawal of the army.

Zhang Fei's gaze wandered, and finally stopped at Deng Ai's body.

"When our army retreats, you will be led by the sergeant."

As we all know, when the army retreats, it is most taboo to be followed and pursued by the enemy.

And those who can generally cover the retreat of the army are generals with outstanding ability and trust by the generals.

Zhang Fei's arrangement undoubtedly clearly shows his attitude towards Deng Ai.

Faced with Zhang Fei's arrangement, Deng Ai quickly responded without refusing.

Seeing Deng Ai's confident appearance, Zhang Fei had a smile on his face.

The reason why he wanted to arrange Deng Ai to cover the retreat of the army was mainly to investigate Deng Ai's ability again before leaving Jingzhou.

In the document, Mi Yang put forward a suggestion - Deng Aike is very useful.

Although Mi Yang didn't say it very clearly, Zhang Fei understood Mi Yang's meaning.

After leaving Jingzhou, Jingzhou must be guarded by a trusted general.

Originally, Li Yan was the best candidate for this general, but it seems that Mi Yang thinks that Deng Ai is also worthy of sharing this heavy responsibility.

Zhang Fei looks rough on the surface, but he is actually thick and fine.

He will not just listen to Mi Yang's words and vigorously appoint Deng Ai, investigation is indispensable.

And if Deng Ai can perform well in this mission, then Zhang Fei will really follow Mi Yang's suggestion.

As for the question of Deng Ai's low position - do you really think that Zhang Fei asked the generals to look at the documents just to show off?

Zhang Fei also had a purpose, which was to let the generals see Mi Yang's words praising Deng Ai.

With Mi Yang's current prestige, his praise is enough to make Deng Ai not despised by others.

The Han army's retreat did not hide Sima Yi in Wancheng.

After hearing the report of the Wei army on the city wall, Sima Yi breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart.

Zhang Fei is finally willing to retire!

Sima Yi was not surprised by the Han army's retreat, on the contrary, with his wisdom, he had already expected this move of the Han army.

Compared with the joy of others when they heard the news, Sima Yi's face at the moment seemed a little eager to try.

Sima Shi, the eldest son on the side, saw Sima Yi's abnormality, and he couldn't help but ask Sima Yi:

"What is my father's plan?"

Seeing the eldest son who was gradually growing up, he could see what he was thinking at a glance, and Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"I want to send troops to pursue the thief army."

After hearing Sima Yi's thoughts, Sima Shi was surprised.

Sima Shi, who was born in a famous family, has been familiar with military books since he was a child.

Sima Shi couldn't help but persuade Sima Yi:

"There is a saying in the art of war: the siege of the city will open a way out, and the return army will not chase."

Sima Yi didn't know this art of war.

But Sima Yi has his own unique views.

"Recently, bad news has come from Guanzhong, and the general has died at the hands of Mi Yang.

In addition, the number of people who died tragically at the hands of Mi Yang or was captured is incalculable.

This is a major blow to Great Wei, but why not my Sima clan's chance? ”

In front of Sima Shi, there are some words that Sima Yi no longer hides.

"If the father can pursue the thief army and win a victory when the thief army retreats, then the prince and His Majesty will definitely look at the father differently.

The generals of the clan are withering day by day, and the rest are all busy people, don't you still know the mind of being a father? ”

Don't understand?

Sima Yidu said it so clearly, how could Sima Shi not understand it.

After knowing Sima Yi's true thoughts, Sima Shi no longer dissuaded.

According to common sense, when the army retreats, the lord will lead the army first, so it will not be Zhang Fei who will be left behind.

Li Yan is not outside Wancheng at the moment.

And in the Jingzhou army, apart from Zhang Fei and Li Yan, is there any enemy general worth fearing?

After thinking about it for a while, Sima Shi excitedly realized:

It doesn't seem to be!

Father just thinks more than he does.

The end of the month is busy, and these days are a chapter for the time being.

(End of chapter)
