Chapter 147 Rewarded on a high platform and promoted to worship (5000 words)
After Liu Bei issued this urgent royal order, Ma Liang, the minister next to Liu Bei, had quickly written Liu Bei's royal order.
After a guard took the king's order, he quickly walked out and headed out of the city.
After Liu Bei's guards left at lightning speed, all the ministers in the hall did not understand what kind of victory could make the King of Hanzhong rise from his seat and make him so anxious to summon Mi Yang to Jiangling.
Liu Bei saw doubts on the faces of the ministers in the hall. He also knew that the short words "Sun Quan was defeated and fled" were not enough to express Mi Yang's great achievements.
So he called Ma Liang to come forward, and then he handed Ma Liang the Mi Yang battle report in his hand and asked him to read out the contents of the Mi Yang battle report in front of the ministers.
Not long ago, Ma Liang was promoted to Shangshu from General Zuo by Liu Bei. As the only five Shangshu in the Hanzhong Kingdom, Ma Liang's official position and status are not insignificant.
Now the king leaves his seat and the minister reads the newspaper. These two unusual things represent the great achievements Mi Yang has made this time.
Ma Liang came to the head of the hall and received Mi Yang's battle report from Liu Bei.
As soon as he opened it and took a look, a look of great surprise appeared on his face.
Ma Liang's surprise could not dissipate for a long time, and then he suppressed his mind and began to read Mi Yang's battle report in front of everyone in the hall:
Chen Mi Yang reported: On the night of December 20, the 24th year of Jian'an, I ordered Ping Kou Colonel Guan Ping to lead five thousand troops to attack the Wu army's northern camp at night.
Because Wu's army was unprepared, our army successfully moved towards Beiying.
After arriving at the northern camp, our army attacked with fire. The enemy was unprepared and was able to set fire to the company camp.
As the fire spread, Wu's army suffered tens of thousands of casualties and mourned everywhere.
Furthermore, I personally led the barbarian soldiers, sneaked into the mountains and forests, and entered dangerous areas at night. I received help from Wuxi barbarians and arrived outside the public security port.
Our army's whereabouts were secret and the Wu army did not know it. I ordered the Wuxi barbarians to attack them from high altitude. The Wu army was defeated and the enemy general Song Qian was killed in formation.
After occupying the port, he burned the port with fire in order to confuse the enemy.
The fire was raging, and the enemy's ships, equipment, water infantry and military resources were all temporarily exhausted.
The ministers led the barbarians to ride on horseback and quickly marched to the Wu army camp to join forces with Guan Ping.
The enemy's morale was greatly shattered as the important supply areas were burned.
The minister urged the troops to fight on all sides, and the Wu army collapsed, killing tens of thousands more.
Wherever the sharp edge reaches, where the blazing fire burns, there is no enemy in front of it.
Because Quan escaped at night, he cut off his beard and abandoned his robe. He only escaped with his body and dragged a raft across the river.
The corpses of Wu's army drifted down the river.
In the first battle of the Public Security Bureau, I killed more than 30,000 people below Qin and Tai. The rest went to the water and drowned, more than 20,000 people, more than 50,000 people fled into the mountains and forests, and the 100,000 Wu army was almost wiped out.
More than 6,000 ships were burned, more than a million stones of food and fodder were burned, and countless treasures were gained.
Although Quan was not captured, Quan was a cunning prisoner who relied on the wealth of the country and became a thief.
In today's battle, Jiangdong's years of accumulation have been wiped out. Quan's tribe has become a ghost and a walking corpse.
The public security is a key point and the country's borders are limited. If it is lost, it will not only damage the territory of a county, but Jingzhou will be worried.
Quan Qian is always in heaven, and he does not guard the caves, but dares to send himself away.
Keeping it the day before yesterday was for the sake of the country.
However, if we defend it for a long time, we will lose it, and there is not enough food and grass in the city, so we take the initiative to attack it.
Although the minister is not talented, he relies on the king's kindness and his mighty spirit to overcome rebellion with obedience, which is like divine help.
Although I have made meritorious deeds now, I sincerely believe that the Holy King Shenwu is far away in power, and I will punish the guilty, but the results will be small and diligent.
When Ma Liang finished reading the contents of the battle report sentence by sentence in a measured language, the hall instantly fell into silence.
At this moment, Ma Liang's face was flushed.
On the one hand, the results achieved by Mi Yang were so brilliant, and on the other hand, the battle report written by Mi Yang made people's blood boil.
All the ministers in the hall looked at the battle report in Ma Liang's hand in shock.
The ministers in the hall were all well-informed people, but when faced with something unexpected, they still couldn't help but show shock on their faces.
When Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked China, they had the same expression after receiving the news.
At this time, in the hall, there were two people with pride that could not be concealed on their faces.
One person is Mi Fang.
When all the officials turned their attention to Mi Fang, he proudly raised his head.
Yes, I am Mi Yang’s father.
Another person is Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at the expressions on the faces of the ministers in the hall that could not be calm for a long time. Although he had already sat back on the throne, the look of pride was still visible on his face.
This is the nephew I have taken with me and trained since childhood.
If you don't make a sound, it's enough. If you make a blockbuster, it will make a big difference.
Now Liu Bei finally understood why Emperor Xiaowu was so excited when he learned about Huo Qubing's achievements.
Because this sense of accomplishment in developing a famous general from an early age is such that even an emperor can't control his inner excitement.
After a moment of silence, a burst of heated discussion broke out in the hall.
The ministers in the hall were all discussing what kind of reward should be given to Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's battle was not just as simple as repelling Sun Quan, it also severely damaged Jiangdong's vitality.
After this battle, Jiangdong's national power will be reduced to the weakest among the three in a short period of time.
After this battle, Sun Quan would not be able to covet Jingzhou for at least five years.
Five years is enough time to change a lot of things.
Under the heated discussions among the ministers, many general titles began to appear for free.
General Yingyang, General Killing Kou, General Weiyuan and other various names began to appear.
Even in the end, the title of General Ping Wu became everyone's consensus.
As for Mi Yang's age, it has been habitually ignored by the ministers in the hall.
Although twenty years old is a bit young, Sun Ce was around this age when he was made a general by the Han Emperor's envoy.
At worst, add a line character.
The biggest reason why the ministers in the hall were so excited was that this battle by Mi Yang showed the majesty and pride of the Han army.
As ministers of the Han Dynasty, each of them is honored.
Finally, Huang Quan came out and advised Liu Bei: "The battle with the Public Security Bureau has greatly increased the power of our army. Master Mi has made the most of his contribution. Your Majesty should reward you generously."
"Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou this time is all about forming an alliance with Sun Quan for help."
"If we seal the title of Master Mi in a high-profile manner now, it will firstly enhance the prestige of our army, and secondly, it will destroy Cao Cao's ambition."
"Sun Quan has been defeated. It is useless for him to invade Jingzhou again."
"Maybe this can force Cao Cao to retreat."
Liu Bei deeply agreed with Huang Quan's suggestion.
He had originally intended to reward Mi Yang lavishly.
Now Huang Quan added a military significance to the reward of Mi Yang, which made Liu Bei even more anxious to see Mi Yang as soon as possible.
It's not that Liu Bei is afraid of Cao Cao today, it's just that after the First World War in Hanzhong, Yizhou's national power has declined.
Jingzhou has been experiencing several battles this year, and now is the time when it needs self-cultivation.
Liu Bei was in a very good mood now. He said to Huang Quan: "Yes."
As for how to reward Mi Yang, Liu Bei already had a plan in mind.
When Li Yan led his troops to the outside of Gong'an City, he saw the charred and collapsed Wu Army camp outside the city.
With many years of experience in leading troops, he could guess how vast and well-organized the ruined camp outside the city was.
But now, under Mi Yang's fire, they have all become dead wood.
The faces of the three generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Bao all had expressions of admiration.
You must study hard and be prepared for fire attacks when marching and setting up camp in the future.
It has been several days since Li Yan led the reinforcements to arrive at the police station.
During these days, Li Yan took over the title of public security chief because he had the highest position.
Mi Yang was not proud of his great achievements, and he did not value the false reputation of a public security general.
The public security did not appoint county magistrates, so Li Yan, the chief public security officer, had to be grasped by the military and political affairs.
The reconstruction of the Public Security City after the war, the disposal of tens of thousands of Wu soldiers' corpses outside the city, and the work of arranging agricultural production for the coming of spring all naturally fell to Li Yan.
Because of his busy government affairs, Li Yan almost stayed up late every day.
Fortunately, Li Yan has excellent political skills, so he can handle this complicated government affairs in a clear and orderly manner.
Under Li Yan's leadership, everything in the police department is moving on the right track.
In the past few days, Zhang Bao and other young men have been pestering Mi Yang, asking him to tell him everything that happened that night.
Now Zhang Bao and several other young players have almost become Mi Yang's fans.
Mi Yang couldn't bear the trouble, so he pushed Guan Ping out and sent Zhang Bao and others away.
Facing their big brother Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and the others did not dare to act recklessly.
Guan Ping, who was willing to serve as deputy general in front of Mi Yang, showed his majesty as a big brother to Zhang Bao and other juniors.
Just one thing Zhang Bao said made Mi Yang very interested.
That was when the Qiao Zhou people started acting like monsters again. Regarding this matter, Mi Yang clearly expressed his attitude: "It should still be dealt with."
Just after Mi Yang and Zhang Bao spent a period of time noisily in the public security city, Liu Bei's envoy finally arrived at the public security city.
"Cha Mi Yang has made great achievements. From the day he received the king's order, all the generals with meritorious deeds will go north to Jiangling to receive rewards."
After receiving this royal order, Mi Yang immediately began to make arrangements for going north.
Among all matters, the most important thing was to report to the public security the list of generals who had made meritorious service in the battle.
But this matter, Mi Yang had already included in the battle reports before.
As the commander-in-chief of the public security battle, he has been on the list of who should be rewarded and who should be punished during the past few months of guarding the public security.
This is a perfect opportunity for Mi Yang to win over people's hearts, and it is also his exclusive power.
Since this matter has already been done, the most important thing at the moment is to escort the criminal prisoners northward.
Among them, the criminal was Liu Chan, and the representative of the prisoners was Lu Meng.
During the battle that night, Lu Meng, who was seriously ill and lying in the tent, was captured by the Han army when they were cleaning the battlefield the next day.
After catching this important Jiangdong minister, Mi Yang thought of dedicating him to Liu Bei.
After receiving the king's order, he immediately led the generals Guan Ping, Yu Jin, and Samoko, as well as criminals and prisoners, and set out for Jiangling City under the escort of thousands of Han troops.
After the people in the public security city knew that Mi Yang was leaving, they reluctantly gathered on both sides of the streets to see Mi Lang leaving, who was guarding their homeland.
Although Mi Yang has left, his story will continue to be circulated among the police and people.
The people are very simple, and they will sing songs about whoever protects them.
After several days of trekking, Mi Yang's team had arrived outside Jiangling City.
After Mi Yang arrived at Jiangling City, Liu Bei immediately informed his officials that he would reward Mi Yang and other generals who guarded the public security on a high platform outside the city tomorrow.
At the end of December in the 24th year of Han Jian'an, the weather is sunny today.
Today is also the last day of the 24th year of Jian'an.
Outside Jiangling City, beside the Yangtze River, there is a high platform several feet high.
This high platform was built by Zhou Yu to celebrate his victory after he defeated Cao Ren and captured Jiangling.
At that time, Zhou Lang scolded Fang Qiu on this high platform, drank and sang, and showed off Jiangdong's martial arts.
Today, Liu Bei used this high platform to reward the generals who defeated the Wu army. It can be said that things are unpredictable.
When it got dark, countless people had already gathered up and down this high platform.
Under the high platform were tens of thousands of soldiers guarding with guns, and above the high platform were hundreds of Han officials watching the awards.
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, Mi Yang led a group of generals who had made meritorious service and came to the foot of the high platform.
After Mi Yang appeared, tens of thousands of eyes looked at him from up and down the high platform.
Among the hundreds of Han ministers who knew him, their faces were filled with joy. Those who didn't know him had their faces filled with curiosity.
But at this time, all the hundreds of Han ministers congratulated him in their hearts.
Under the high platform, the tens of thousands of uniformed and majestic soldiers had pure eyes, full of awe.
In troubled times, military exploits can rule the roost.
Among those tens of thousands of gazes, one gaze was the most majestic, but it was also full of love.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes focused on him at once, making Mi Yang's breathing quicken.
But now, he is no longer the young man in green who first entered Jiangling City from Yizhou.
Over the past few months, a lot of things have changed, and Mi Yang has grown a lot.
His haste was not due to nervousness, but to excitement.
It is already a great honor for Han ministers to watch in the suburbs and be rewarded on a high platform.
Mi Yang calmed down the excitement in his heart and followed the etiquette officer step by step towards the steps of the high platform.
When Mi Yang came to the steps of the high platform, the etiquette officer beside him immediately shouted to the high platform: "The public security generals are here, please come up to the stage."
On both sides of the steps several feet high, there is a herald every five steps.
When the etiquette officer next to Mi Yang shouted this sentence, every herald on the steps repeated this sentence in turn, until it finally reached the ears of the King of Hanzhong on the high platform.
Not long after, the voices of the messengers reached Mi Yang's ears across the distance from the high platform.
"Can."
After receiving this promise, the ceremonial officer stepped aside.
Then Mi Yang lightly lifted the hem of his clothes and led the generals behind him, climbing up the stairs step by step.
When Mi Yang stepped onto the steps, his thoughts drifted to that day in July this year.
That day was the day when Liu Bei established himself as King of Hanzhong.
I remember that Liu Bei, who had just won a great victory that day, paid homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth on a high platform of more than ten feet, and then on the high altar, he put on the crown that symbolized the peak of human beings.
Mi Yang was also present that day.
However, he was not even qualified to enter the venue that day, so he could only watch from a distance with Zhang Bao and others.
It's different today. Although it's still a high platform, it still has tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of ministers.
But today he is the protagonist on this high platform, he is no longer a bystander.
The step he climbed today was the step he took off in this world.
As Mi Yang's ambition unfolded, he had reached the high platform.
Under the stage, tens of thousands of spears stood tall in the cold light, and the Yangtze River surged with endless waves. At this time, Mi Yang was already standing on the high platform representing honor.
Mi Yang looked at the solemn-faced King of Hanzhong sitting on the throne, and at his uncle who had taught him since childhood, and he bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
Just after Mi Yang bowed, a smile appeared on Liu Bei's face.
Looking at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar nephew in front of him, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Who would have thought that the little child who played under his knees could grow up so fast today?
Liu Bei said in a rich voice: "Come forward."
Hearing Liu Bei's call, Mi Yang took a few steps forward.
But when Liu Bei saw that Mi Yang had only taken a few steps forward, he felt a little unhappy on his face.
How come this kid has become alienated after not seeing him for a year?
Liu Bei once again said to Mi Yang, "Come up the stairs."
As soon as Liu Bei said this, not only Mi Yang, but also the hundreds of Han officials on the high platform had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Your Majesty is going to be promoted to a general!
Although the etiquette between emperors and ministers in the Han Dynasty was not as harsh as that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still requirements in some respect and inferiority etiquette.
For example, when the king and his ministers meet each other, they often stand across the steps. This is not only for the king's safety, but also to show his dignity.
For example, the word "Your Majesty".
Biyuan refers to the steps in the palace.
"When you call me Your Majesty, the ministers do not dare to criticize the Emperor when talking to him. Therefore, when you call him Your Majesty, you tell him because it is a sign of humiliation and respect."
Even if you are a close minister, it is an honor to meet the king under the steps.
Unexpectedly, in order to show his respect for Mi Yang, Liu Bei now promoted him to a higher rank and was granted a title.
Being promoted to the rank of king is already a great honor for ministers in modern times.
More than a hundred Han officials did not expect that Liu Bei would love Mi Yang so much.
When Liu Bei saw that Mi Yang was hesitant, he emphasized his tone again and said, "Come up the stairs."
Under the urging of Liu Bei twice in succession, Mi Yang finally stepped up the wooden steps and came to Liu Bei.
Seeing this scene, Liu Bei was satisfied.
When Mi Yang was little, she often played beside his seat, but the older she got, the more lively she became.
After Mi Yang stepped up, he immediately bowed to Liu Bei.
At this time, Liu Bei took out a general seal from the wooden plate in the hand of the waiter beside him and handed it to Mi Yang himself.
He said to Mi Yang: "Without you, Jingzhou is lost."
"This skill alone is enough to make you a general."
"Now you are guarding the public security and defeated a hundred thousand enemy troops. You have done such a great job that it is hard to explain in words."
"I now worship you as a partial general."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Mi Yang acted very calmly, but the people in Guanping behind him and the ministers on the stage all had some surprises on their faces.
Based on Mi Yang's skill, it is difficult to find generals with important titles, but it is not difficult to find generals with miscellaneous titles.
Why do you want to worship a partial general now?
But just when the officials were surprised, Liu Bei took another seal from the tray and handed it to Mi Yang.
"I was granted the title of Marquis within the pass again and I was granted the title of Marquis."
As soon as Liu Bei said these words, the faces of all the ministers suddenly realized.
It is the dream of every man in the world to be granted the title of marquis and to become a general. Liu Bei lowered General Mi Yang’s rank in order to grant Mi Yang the title of marquis!
Although the Marquis of Guannei is not the highest county marquis in the marquis hierarchy, a twenty-year-old marquis has never appeared among Liu Bei's forces.
All of a sudden, all the ministers looked at Mi Yang with fiery eyes.
Not only was he promoted to a general, but also awarded a title. Liu Bei's love for Mi Yang was profound, and his expectations for Mi Yang were also high.
When Mi Yang heard that Liu Bei named him the Marquis of Guannei, his face also showed surprise.
He had thought about any reward before, but he had never thought about the Marquis.
Looking at Liu Bei's eyes full of expectation, Mi Yang did not hesitate. He took the piece of Hou Seal with both hands and bowed deeply to Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei saw Mi Yang's bold look, he fell in love with Mi Yang even more.
When he was happy, Liu Bei smiled and asked Mi Yang: "Zisheng, what else do you wish for?"
Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang with a smile. Mi Yang looked up at Liu Bei and solemnly said: "Yes."
As soon as Mi Yang said this, the officials were in an uproar.
It's so ungrateful. You've already received such honor and you're still not satisfied.
Mi Yang's answer also made Liu Bei startled, and then he asked Mi Yang: "Then what else do you wish for?"
Mi Yang held the general's seal in his hand, and then he said in a heroic tone:
"May the king lie on his couch in the nine states and cover the four seas. With the hope of the Duke of Zhou, he can accomplish the task of reviving the Han Dynasty. Then, on top of the Wanzhong Palace in Luoyang, I will bestow the tiger talisman on me to pay for my efforts in driving Hu Di from the north."
"I will pay you what I wish!"
Hearing that Mi Yang's wish turned out to be this, all the officials on the stage smiled.
After hearing this, Liu Bei burst out laughing on the high platform.
Liu Bei's laughter was extremely hearty.
"Can."
The king's words are as important as the nine tripods.
No more today, everyone go to bed early
