Chapter 697: Loyal Ministers with Threats
Ma Chao's falling body was caught by Mi Yang in time.
At the same time, the crying in the courtyard was getting louder.
Maybe no matter how loud the crying in the courtyard is, it can't be compared to when Ma Chao's grandfather died, but at least the people in the courtyard are really crying for Ma Chao's death.
This is also what Ma Chao really values.
In Mi Yang's eye sockets, there was also a mist of water.
Looking at Ma Chao, who had his eyes closed in his arms and a slight smile on his face, Mi Yang had mixed feelings in his heart.
Soon after, Mi Yang motioned to Ma Dai, who was kneeling on the ground, to take Ma Chao's body from his arms.
When Ma Dai trembled and was about to take Ma Chao's body into the room to rest and recuperate, Mi Yang said:
"The room is too small, and the hussar general won't like to be in it.
Let the rest and grooming and burial be carried out in the spacious courtyard."
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Ma Dai was obviously stunned for a moment.
Although he knew that it was inappropriate to disobey Mi Yang's orders in his own identity, Ma Dai still reminded him with a cry:
"This is a discordant move."
Faced with Ma Dai's concern, Mi Yang said indifferently:
"Ma's boy, he has his own demeanor, why do you care about the eyes of the world.
Just do what Gu says."
Mi Yang knew that if Ma Chao had a spirit in the sky, he would like his arrangement.
Then Mi Yang said to Ma Dai:
"The hussar general was very kind to you when he was alive, and you must handle his funeral well.
As for the name of the hussar general...
Don't worry, there is loneliness."
After saying this, Mi Yang bent down to pick up the corpse of the goshawk on the ground.
The goshawk's feathers are like needles, and the two claws are like knives, which is really worthy of the reputation of the king of the air.
After staring at the goshawk's corpse for a while, perhaps not wanting to be too immersed in the sad atmosphere, Mi Yang paced towards the outside of the courtyard.
Seeing Mi Yang leaving, Jiang Wei, who had just witnessed everything, hurriedly followed behind Mi Yang.
The courtyard is not very large, but Mi Yang walked for a long time before he walked out of the courtyard.
After walking out of the courtyard, Mi Yang stopped.
Mi Yang raised his head and looked at the blue sky above, with a look of remembrance in his eyes.
Seeing that Mi Yang was in a bad mood and didn't say a word, Jiang Wei could only stand behind him silently, feeling the sadness on Mi Yang's body.
After a long time, Mi Yang said to Jiang Weiyan:
"Do you know, Boyo?
I have personally sent many people away in my life.
Among those people, there are the mentor Fagong who nurtured me to grow up, the king of Xiangyang, Guan Jun, who taught me, and the former emperor who treated me as a parent and treated me with affection and sex.
These three people, when they were alive, were all heroes in the world, and they all had a deep relationship with me.
No matter how big the heroes are, there will be a day when they will leave.
No matter how deep the feelings are, I can't keep them.
If there is a way, I really want to keep them.
When the world sees that I am young, they envy me, but sometimes I feel that being young is not necessarily a good thing.
For I cannot predict when, at what time, one of my dearest relatives will leave me.
At what point will I experience another great regret that I have no choice but to end."
As he spoke, the mist in Mi Yang's eyes finally turned into tears, and drops slipped down his face.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, Jiang Wei wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but he didn't know where to speak.
Jiang Wei knew that there was not much personal relationship between Mi Yang and Ma Chao.
If it was just because of Ma Chao's departure, even though Mi Yang would be sad, he would never say the above words.
As Mi Yang said, he was moved by the death of Ma Chao today, which aroused his thoughts about Fa Zheng, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others.
What's more, even if Mi Yang didn't say it, Jiang Wei knew that Mi Yang was actually it
is secretly worried about the day when Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang will pass away.
Loved ones are dying one after another.
At this moment, Jiang Wei seems to have become Mi Yang just now, and he can only be a listener patiently.
I don't know how long time has passed, Jiang Wei only saw many people in Ma Chao's mansion running past him.
In the end, even the messenger with Liu Chan's will hurriedly passed by him.
As Ma Chao, the news of his death is bound to spread throughout Chang'an City as quickly as possible.
And just when Jiang Wei was thinking in his heart, what changes Ma Chao's death would bring to the general trend of the world today, Mi Yang's voice reached his ears again.
"Leaving you in Chang'an, in addition to asking you to teach Ji Yang, I also have another layer of intention.
After I leave Chang'an, the anti-Wei Xiaoxiao will inevitably think about Guanzhong.
With the presence of the great general and the prime minister, the situation in Guanzhong is generally reassured.
But no matter how far-sighted the general and Xiangguo are, they still need one or two cadres to be sent.
You are a native of the Northland, not good at water warfare but good at cavalry warfare, and leaving you in Chang'an is to maximize your strengths.
Tomorrow I will play your majesty, and ask your majesty to bring the Qiang cavalry commanded by the hussar general under his command under your command.
I'm sure you'll take them with you."
When Mi Yang's words fell, Jiang Wei seemed to be unable to keep up with Mi Yang's train of thought for a while, and was obviously stunned.
Jiang Wei didn't expect that Mi Yang, who was still sad and inexplicable, would be able to adjust his mood quickly, and directly shift the topic to military affairs.
Jiang Wei's strangeness can't be hidden from Mi Yang, and Mi Yang also knows why Jiang Wei is like this.
Seeing this, Mi Yang turned around and patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder and said:
"I miss my ancestors very much.
But I know even more that the ancestors put the Han dynasty into my hands, hoping that I will one day be able to re-unify the mountains and rivers.
It is not impossible to remember the ancestors, but if it is for the sake of remembering the ancestors, the great cause of the country's unification is delayed.
In the future, when I go down one day, my ancestors will see that I have failed their expectations, and I am afraid that I will be beaten badly."
Jiang Wei didn't expect Mi Yang to adjust his emotions so quickly, but at this time, Jiang Wei also knew that Mi Yang was carrying a heavy burden.
It is such a heavy burden that makes Mi Yang dare not spend too much time on cathartic personal feelings.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei admired Mi Yang more and more.
"Da Sima is really the hope of the country!"
Jiang Wei habitually praised Mi Yanglai.
Mi Yang, who heard Jiang Wei's praise, didn't care, he waved his hand and asked Jiang Wei:
"Boyo thinks that if there is an attempt against Wei Ruo in the coming day, then which place should our army focus on?"
In Mi Yang's opinion, after the news of his arrival in Jingzhou spread, he thought that Sima Yi would not only stay in Luoyang City.
First, now that Sima Yi has not been beaten by Zhuge Liang, his strategy of using troops will not change so quickly.
Second, from the information received before, it is obvious that Cao Rong's idea is to let Luoyang or Jingzhou become a bargaining chip to contain him, so that he cannot concentrate on one place.
In order to accomplish this goal, once there is a war in Jingzhou, it is impossible for Luoyang to take no action at all.
And Mi Yang's inquiry also made Jiang Wei fall into contemplation.
It's just that the smart Jiang Wei quickly gave his own thoughts.
"The minister thinks that if the rebel Wei wants to use troops against Guanzhong, he may follow the example of Cao Cao's surprise attack on Guanzhong.
Therefore, our army should strengthen the defense of the Yellow River!"
Jiang Wei's answer made Mi Yang nod with satisfaction.
"Boyo has such insight, and I will no longer have to worry about the West in the future!"
...
Just when Mi Yang was about to leave Jingzhou, a blockbuster news spread in Chang'an City.
Han Hussar rode a general's horse
Super is dead.
Maybe Ma Chao's reputation before his death was not good, but Ma Chao's talent and identity are unique in the Han Dynasty.
The death of such an important person is a huge loss for Dahan, and it also makes many people feel sorry.
In the Han Dynasty, which valued the study of the weft, the Western Expedition and the Eastern Expedition were imminent, but a general suddenly died, which was a bad omen.
However, fortunately, the current situation of the Han Dynasty is thriving, and although there are similar remarks, they have not caused any big waves.
Mi Yang also lived up to Ma Dai's expectations, and he had been busy with the Eastern Crusade, so he still took the time to go on the Taoist table and asked Liu Chan to give Ma Chao the nickname of "Wei".
Originally, according to the etiquette system of today's dynasty, since the king of Xiangyang, Shuangchen has become one of the highest honors after the death of the ministers.
But just like the words Mi Yang said before Ma Chao died, Mi Yang would not specifically cover up his past mistakes for him.
And with those mistakes in the past, unless Ma Chao makes the merit of recreating the Han, he will not be rewarded with double advice.
However, although the double confession cannot be obtained, Ma Chao's merits should also be fairly evaluated.
"Fierce Congo is mighty, rebellion is far away, barbarians are subdued, and the sound is shocked."
Judging from the interpretation of the nickname "Wei", this nickname is very suitable for Ma Chao.
And no matter in which dynasty or generation, the gold content of the nickname "Wei" is superior.
I think that if Ma Chao has a spirit in the sky, he will be extremely satisfied with this nickname.
Because it was Mi Yang's proposal, Liu Chan soon officially issued an edict posthumously calling Ma Chao "Weihou".
And Ma Dai, as the heir of Ma Chao's political legacy, was full of gratitude to Mi Yang when he received this edict.
Ma Dai wanted to take care of Ma Chao's funeral, so he personally visited Mi Yang to thank him.
But before that day, Ma Dai received a message.
"Da Sima led 60,000 Tiance troops to march from the Bacheng Gate."
Ma Dai, who got the news, even though Chongxiao couldn't go out to see Mi Yang off in person, he still performed three bows and nine bows in the direction of Ma Chao's mourning hall in the direction of the east:
"I wish Da Sima a speedy victory!"
...
There is no impermeable wall in the world, let alone the important event of Mi Yang's personal conquest.
Although nominally, Mi Yang is under the banner of "out of Jingzhou".
But when the spies of Wu learned that Mi Yang came to Jingzhou this time and brought 60,000 elites, they still subconsciously understood "going out of town" as an expedition.
It's not to set foot in Jiangdong, why did Mi Yang bring so many elites?
When this shocking news came to Sun Quan's case under the crazy rush of Wu Guo's spies, Sun Quan was not good.
Miyang: Do you like Jiangdong so much?
Before the exact news arrived, many people in the Wu government and the opposition, including Sun Quan, thought that even if the Han Dynasty wanted to use troops next, Mi Yang's first target should be Luoyang.
Politically, Luoyang is the ancient capital of China, which is of great significance.
Militarily, Luoyang controlled the main route for the Han army to enter the Central Plains.
Economically, Luoyang is surrounded by wealthy counties such as Hedong and Hanoi.
No matter from which point of view, Mi Yang should regard Luoyang as the first target.
How could he suddenly come to Jingzhou on a whim and bring a heavy army?
There are also some people in the Wu government and the opposition who believe that Mi Yang led a heavy army to Jingzhou, perhaps not to attack Jiangdong, but also to attack Wancheng in the north and attack Yuzhou.
But such an idea is ridiculous in Sun Quan's view.
Let's not talk about whether Mi Yang can replicate the miracle of attacking Chang'an and take Wancheng in a short time.
At least if he wanted to attack a fortified city like Wancheng, Mi Yang wanted to transfer most of Jingzhou's military strength to Yiyang County.
You must know that the current situation is different, Cao Wei is no longer attacked on both sides, and they have enough military strength to defend Wancheng alone.
And with Mi Yang's military strategy
, would he rashly transfer most of Jingzhou's military strength to Yiyang County, thus ignoring the heart of Jingzhou?
This is not possible.
After ruling out this point, it is very clear where Mi Yang dances the sword.
Sun Quan was in Jianye City for the first time, and held a great court meeting on Miyang's Eastern Expedition.
When the civil and military officials in Jianye City gathered in the newly built hall, Sun Quan saw on their faces that he was even more uneasy than himself.
This...
Sun Quan couldn't help but stroke his head.
But as the saying goes, within the three chambers, there will be faithfulness.
Manchu Dynasty Wu State, is there not one or two ministers who dare to fight?
That, of course, is impossible.
After seeing the gloomy looks on the faces of his colleagues around him, Zhou Yi, who had just returned from the Chang'an mission, walked out of the train with his head held high:
"A thief, a god, a ghost?
From my point of view, they are like us, all flesh and blood mortals.
If you are mortal, why are you too afraid?
Not to mention the world's naval army, I am the first.
Let's just say that at present, our dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty are life and death alliances, and if our dynasty is in trouble, the Northern Wei Dynasty will not sit idly by.
And to gather the strength of our dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the Han army is strong, it must not be able to fight!"
Zhou Yi expressed his views sonorously.
If we analyze Zhou Yi's words sentence by sentence, it is not difficult to conclude that most of what he said is of no practical use.
for the words of him are known to all.
It's just that sometimes, it doesn't matter whether you are talking about nutrition or not, it's important to express an attitude.
Anyway, when the civil and military forces of the Wu State and Manchu Dynasty were silent, it was Zhou Yi who was the first to stand up and let out the first unyielding cry against Mi Yang!
Sun Quan, who was still stroking his head, was overjoyed after listening to Zhou Yi's words.
Zhou Yi is really a big Wu Zhongchen!
"What Zhou Qing said is very true.
When Cao Cao led more than 200,000 elite southern expeditions, didn't he also fold in Chibi?
Today, if Mi Yang is bold and reckless, intending to invade our territory, Cao Cao's death in Chibi will be a lesson for him!"
As the monarch, Sun Quan immediately took Zhou Yi's words and personally inspired people's hearts.
Compared with Zhou Yi's words, Sun Quan's words are more substantial.
Jiangdong has indeed fought a tough battle.
But Jiangdong was able to win the Battle of Chibi that year, because Zhou Yu was there.
Where is Zhou Yu in Jiangdong now?
At the thought of this, everyone turned their eyes to one of the ministers standing at the head of the column.
Lu Boyan, can you fight?
