Chapter 15 Mi Yang’s ambition
Zhao Leihuai said with a slightly worried tone,
"Although Xiaolian's plan is good, although Sun Quan is suspicious, his subordinates Lu Meng and Zhang Zhao are both wise men. I'm afraid Xiaolian's plan will be seen through by these two people."
Mi Yang had already thought of Zhao Lei's worries.
He said to Zhao Leiyan,
"Lü Meng is a man who is good at strategizing. Zhang Zhao is older and more experienced. But Governor Zhao, please don't forget what I just said about shooting arrows into Fan City and destroying the city."
"Since Sun Quan has a plan to capture Jingzhou, he will definitely pay close attention to General Guan's movements. He will have many spies in the two military camps around Fancheng.
When our army knows that Cao Cao is conspiring with him and makes it public, these spies will of course report the matter to Sun Quan in Jiangdong."
"A single letter is not enough to confuse Sun Quan's wise men.
But in the face of the iron-clad facts, how could Lu Meng not be worried that our army was already prepared and would set up an ambush to wait for him to fall into the trap?"
Historically, after Sun Quan decided to join forces with Cao Cao to fight against Guan Yu, he sent an envoy to Cao Cao to tell him not to reveal the matter to prevent Guan Yu from taking precautions.
This is enough to prove that Sun Quan and his men were very jealous of Guan Yu's ability and were afraid that he would know about this.
So once Sun Quan knew that Guan Yu really knew about this, coupled with Xu Xiang's "letter to lure the enemy", Zhou Yu would be confused for a while even if he was still alive.
Not to mention "Sun Shiwan".
Mi Yang finally said to Zhao Leiyan,
"The strategy I just devised to lure the enemy against Xu Huang is actually also a strategy against Sun Quan's suspicious troops."
"This is a series of schemes within a scheme."
"Since the traitor Sun Quan set up a scheme to defraud the former general that day, then today, I, Mi Zisheng, also set up a scheme to defraud the former general.
All his wolfish ambitions will turn into water flowing eastward, never to return."
Mi Yang's words made Zhao Lei so impressed that he couldn't say any more worried words.
Zhao Lei, the most stable person in the tent, agreed with Mi Yang's two strategies, and the rest naturally had no objections.
At this time, everyone had only expressions of admiration on their faces.
And the last plan that Mi Yang presented to him today was called "Serial Plan within a Plan", which made Guan Yu, who was standing at the top, shine in his eyes.
Guan Yu remembered what Zhuge Liang said to him when he was in Jingzhou:
"Among the three houses, there must be loyalty and wisdom."
At that time, he didn't believe it and asked Zhuge Liang:
“With millions of households in Jingzhou, where is the loyalty and wisdom?”
Zhuge Liang replied, "In times of national crisis, loyalty and wisdom will come out."
Now that I think about Zhuge Liang's words, isn't Guan Yu the way Zhuge Liang said he is now?
Mi Yang had always kept a low profile and did not show his intelligence to others.
Now that Jingzhou is in a critical situation, he has come out with a strange plan to help him save Jingzhou's crisis.
It is truly worthy of Zhuge's military advisor's evaluation of "loyalty and wisdom" that day.
"The same move or strategy, but because of the different targets, can have completely opposite effects. It can both lure and mislead the enemy."
"Zisheng, your resourcefulness is truly immeasurable."
Guan Yu sighed.
My family knows their own affairs, so Mi Yang's ability to offer the above strategies today is entirely based on the prophecy of the time traveler. He is not a man as wise as a demon.
While others are still at a loss when facing a major problem, Mi Yang already knows the answer in her heart.
He has a king bomb in his hand.
Apart from sighing, Guan Yu was still a little annoyed.
In the past, there was such a wise man in Jingzhou, but he was not able to discern talents. As a result, he often sighed that there was no wise man around him to help him.
Now that I think about it, if Mi Yang had discovered such a strategy earlier, Fancheng might have been captured by him long ago.
But it's not too late to discover Mi Yang's talent.
Guan Yu waved his hand to summon Mi Yang to come forward. Although Mi Yang didn't understand what he meant, he still walked forward quickly.
After Mi Yang came to him, Guan Yu stroked Mi Yang's sleeves and asked,
"Zi Sheng doesn't have an official position yet."
When Guan Yu asked about this matter, Mi Yang answered truthfully,
"The year before last, although I was elected as Xiaolian of Shu County by His Highness, Your Highness, because of my young age, has never arranged an official position for me."
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the system for appointing officials was mainly the conscription system and the inspection and promotion system in parallel.
In the inspection and promotion system, the most frequently used method is to promote filial piety and integrity.
The year before last, Fa Zheng was appointed as the prefect of Shu County. At Liu Bei's suggestion, he promoted Mi Yang to be Xiaolian of Shu County.
This means that Mi Yang already has a stepping stone to enter the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, but after all, because of his young age, Liu Bei has not appointed Mi Yang to an official position.
Guan Yu nodded after listening to Mi Yang's words.
At this time, he said to Mi Yang, "Since you don't have an official position yet, I wonder if you would like to take up the post of my master today?"
After Liu Bei proclaimed himself King of Hanzhong this year, he immediately sent an envoy to confer Guan Yu as a former general.
The former general is a general with a heavy title and has the power to open a government and manage affairs.
In the past, the post of chief clerk was only an official appointed by the central government and counties, and its main responsibility was to collect documents.
But in recent decades, more and more people have established government offices and managed affairs in the world.
Correspondingly, the position of chief secretary has also grown, and has gradually become an important position for the staff involved in confidential matters in the shogunate and the consul general's office.
Guan Yu appointed Mi Yang to the post of former general Zhu Bo. Although this post was not of high rank, it was of low status and power.
Guan Yu regarded Mi Yang as his confidant.
Mi Yang was a little surprised by Guan Yu's sudden promotion.
But Mi Yang was not a shy person. He immediately bowed to Guan Yu and said,
"The general has favored me. How can I disobey it?"
Seeing that Mi Yang agreed to his appointment, Guan Yu was in a good mood. He said to Mi Yang again,
"Don't you think that the position of chief minister is not high and you are still young. I appointed you as my chief minister in order to hone your political skills.
When Military Advisor Zhuge came out of the army, he initially assumed the position of being in charge of His Highness, so you should serve as Military Advisor Zhuge."
After finishing speaking, Guan Yu said to Mi Yang,
"Today I will observe your talents, which are good at strategic matters.
I will appoint you to the post of general before the military affairs. From then on, you can make suggestions on all military and political matters within my shogunate."
join the army?
This is a good position.
In Guan Yu's words, he made no secret of his intention to cultivate Mi Yang.
Not to mention Mi Yang, everyone else in the tent now realized how much Guan Yu valued Mi Yang.
Mi Yang is only in his twenties, but when he first took office, he served as the commander-in-chief of Guan Yu, a famous general in the world. The starting point for joining the army is considered to be very high.
Moreover, these two positions are also very suitable for Mi Yang at this time.
Mi Yang had no reason to refuse Guan Yu's love. Mi Yang bowed to Guan Yu again and said:
"Thank you, General, for your love."
And when Mi Yang bowed down, a smile appeared on his face,
In the Battle of Xiangfan in history, the biggest winner was actually Sun Quan’s family, but today he traveled through time,
He is determined to use this battle to lay the foundation for his future success.
And everything he has gained today is just the beginning.
