Chapter 251 Dong Yun offers advice and Fa Miao controls Yan
Since Dong Yun could specifically remind him of this matter, Mi Yang naturally couldn't take it lightly.
Wei Yan's character, whether it is through his contacts in the world or the records in later history books, to say that he was unruly and rebellious is sometimes an understatement.
Historically, when Zhuge Liang was in charge of state affairs, Wei Yan dared to question Zhuge Liang's orders many times and criticized Zhuge Liang's military strategy in public.
Today is a feudal society, and as a subordinate, you actually do this, and you did it during the Northern Expedition.
Doing this in Wei Yan's capacity will greatly affect the morale of the military. According to military law, what Wei Yan did has already constituted a capital crime.
During the period when Zhuge Liang was in charge of the country, his achievements and efforts made even the enemies of the enemy countries convinced.
As a result, Wei Yan was very dissatisfied with him, which shows how selfish Wei Yan's character is.
With such a personality, Wei Yan was definitely dissatisfied after knowing that he, who was originally in a lower position than him, suddenly became his immediate boss.
What Mi Yang didn't expect was that Wei Yan now dared to express this emotion in front of Dong Yun, the emperor's messenger.
Mi Yang could only sigh secretly, it was indeed Wei Yan.
Dong Yun's reminder, Mi Yang also understood what he meant.
Dong Yun was worried that Wei Yan, who was the governor of Hanzhong, would resist Mi Yang's orders because of his dissatisfaction, which would ruin the great situation in Yibei.
Because of this concern, Dong Yun was actually hinting that Mi Yang should use his power early to take precautions against Wei Yan.
If we look at Mi Yang's official position alone, although Mi Yang's official position is higher than that of Wei Yan, Mi Yang does not have the power to deal with Wei Yan.
It's just that when Liu Bei asked Mi Yang to supervise the military affairs of Yibei, he also gave him the power of holiday.
Jiajie means that the emperor lends his talisman to his ministers to use them to intimidate one party.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, when the ministers were on the side of the governor, the ruler would often grant them the power of false ax, false festival, and zhijie.
But because the situations are different, the various titles represent different powers.
There is no doubt that the most powerful person among them is the one who holds the moral integrity.
In the current officialdom of Jihan, the role of holiday festivals is determined according to the powers given to ministers.
For example, Mi Yang's current specific authority is to be the Commander-in-Chief of Yibei Military Affairs.
Then his power can only be used to control the generals in Yibeizhong.
Moreover, this power is only temporary. If Mi Yang no longer supervises the military affairs of Yibei in the future, then his false power will naturally disappear.
Moreover, during the holiday, only the military could kill those who violated military orders.
In other words, the scope of Mi Yang's power is that if there are generals subordinate to Yibei who do not obey military orders during war, he can kill them first and then report them to intimidate the generals.
At present, there are some changes in the Wei army in Guanzhong, and according to reports from spies, the Cao Wei army from Luoyang will arrive in Wudang in the near future.
Under such circumstances, the counties of Yibei were of course at war.
Therefore, if Wei Yan violated Mi Yang's military orders, it would be legal and reasonable for Mi Yang to directly kill Wei Yan.
It's just that under normal circumstances, generals who control local areas rarely use this kind of power unless there is a last resort.
Mi Yang looked at Dong Yun and asked him: "Since Xiu Zhao has this reminder, can you give me some advice?"
Dong Yunhui talked about this matter to Mi Yang in private. In addition to considering the overall situation of Yibei, he never failed to show his kindness to Mi Yang.
So in order to respond to Dong Yun's overtures, Mi Yang certainly had to show some goodwill.
After all, as Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Mi Yang, who had become a general of the country, had to start looking for some political allies.
After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Dong Yun suggested to Mi Yang: "If the overall situation in Hanzhong is safe, General Zuo can send another general to garrison Hanzhong and transfer Wei Yan to look after him personally. This may prevent hidden dangers."
After listening to Dong Yun's advice, Mi Yang nodded slightly.
Although Wei Yan was previously the governor-general of Hanzhong appointed by Liu Bei personally, under Liu Bei's new reward, Liu Bei has expanded the political scope of the Hanzhong Metropolitan Region into the Yibei Metropolitan Region, which combines Hanzhong and Hanxing.
Since the Hanzhong Governorate was gone, Wei Yan was no longer considered the Hanzhong Governor.
In the newly established Yibei Metropolitan Area, he, Mi Yang, was the top military and political leader.
Now Wei Yan is in the Yibei Dudu District, and he is just the Zhenbei general stationed in Hanzhong.
Mi Yang, who is now the commander-in-chief of the military affairs in Yibei, certainly has the power to mobilize the garrison generals in the area.
Maybe Wei Yan just expressed his dissatisfaction and had no intention of rebellion, but now that Mi Yang is the governor of Yibei, it is always good to nip some things in the bud.
But there was still some hesitation on Mi Yang's face.
Dong Yun noticed the hesitation on Mi Yang's face, and he thought Mi Yang was concerned about Wei Yan's status as a member of Liu Bei's tribe.
So he said to Mi Yang: "When I return to Chengdu, I will report everything I saw truthfully."
"Your Majesty and the Manchu ministers are both sensible people and will understand General Zuo's painstaking efforts."
Hearing what Dong Yun said, Mi Yang realized that he had misunderstood why she was hesitant.
The reason Mi Yang was hesitant just now was because he was thinking about which general to replace Wei Yan in Hanzhong.
Although Wei Yan was born in Liu Bei's tribe, who has a closer relationship with Liu Bei than Wei Yan or Mi Yang?
Not to mention the huge political resources behind Mi Yang.
Moreover, Mi Yang wanted to transfer Wei Yan to the defense out of a desire to prevent hidden dangers, but out of consideration for the overall situation of Yibei.
Since Mi Yang was trusted by Liu Bei as the governor of Yibei, in order to live up to Liu Bei's trust, he would do anything that was beneficial to the overall situation of Yibei. How could he hesitate because of Wei Yan's identity?
But now Dong Yun is willing to take the initiative to help him explain, so naturally it is the best.
At this time, Mi Yang had already thought of a candidate to replace Wei Yan in guarding Hanzhong, and that was Wu Yi.
Wu Yi, courtesy name Ziyuan, was born in Chenliu, Yanzhou.
When Liu Yan moved to Yizhou as a shepherd, Wu Yi brought his whole family to Shu with Liu Yan because his father had a good relationship with Liu Yan.
In the 18th year of Jian'an, Liu Zhang sent Wu Yi, who was then Zhonglang General, and his generals Zhang Ren, Liu Sui, Leng Bao, Deng Xian and others to lead troops to fight Liu Bei's army in the Fujian area, but they were all defeated by Liu Bei.
Later, Wu Yi led his army to surrender to Liu Bei and was appointed as the general against rebellion.
In the 19th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, worshiped Wu Yi as his army protector, and married Wu Yi's sister Wu, who was a widow at the time, as his wife.
When Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and rewarded the generals, he worshiped Wu Yi as the general of the northern expedition and led the troops to guard Yangping Pass.
Although Wu Yi does not have any outstanding performance at present, in the original history, it was Wu Yi and Wei Yan who led the army to defeat Cao Wei generals Fei Yao and Guo Huai, and later Wu Yi replaced Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong.
So there is no need to worry about Wu Yi's ability.
Moreover, although there are often rumors circulating that Cao Zhen is going to lead troops to attack Hanzhong, Mi Yang concludes that he simply cannot devote too many troops now.
It's not that Cao Zhen doesn't have a large army, it's that he lacks food and grass.
Guanzhong mainly grows winter wheat, and now is the sowing time of winter wheat.
Unless Cao Zhen completely ignored the grain production in the coming year, he would not be able to lead many troops on an expedition.
The reason why Mi Yang sent 10,000 troops back to Hanzhong was just in case.
Another reason is that the command of the Hanzhong army did not belong to him at that time.
Therefore, when faced with Hanzhong's urging to retreat, he had to react.
Wu Yi himself is not bad, and the terrain of Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, even if Hanzhong currently only has an army of 10,000, as long as Cao Zhen does not lead a large army to attack, Hanzhong will have no worries.
After considering who should replace Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong, Mi Yang turned to Lu Yiyan behind him and said:
"Ji Yang immediately wrote a military order for me and sent it to Hanzhong, ordering General Wei Yan to rush to Wudang, and the defense of Hanzhong was taken over by Wu Yi, General to the North."
After hearing Mi Yang's order, Lu Yi immediately took the order and left.
After giving instructions to Lu Yi, Mi Yang turned to Dong Yun and wanted to invite Dong Yun to stay again.
However, in the face of Mi Yang's invitation, Dong Yun still declined as before, citing state affairs as his priority.
Then Dong Yun left Wudang City with his entourage.
After Dong Yun left, Mi Yang asked the generals who had just received their rewards to return to their respective posts.
As the generals left the county government, the news that Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and Mi Yang was rewarded immediately spread throughout Wudang City.
And when these two news spread, the excitement on the faces of the wealthy families headed by Yanping in Wudang City almost overflowed from their faces.
The better the big man is, the better Mi Yang is, the better they are!
Even when Yanping saw that Mi Yang's wife Guan Yan was not around, he wanted to offer his daughter to accompany Mi Yang.
However, his good intention was declined by Mi Yang.
It's not that Mi Yang is a prude, it's just that he doesn't want to take Yanping's daughter.
Yanping had a precedent of sneak attacks on Man Chong. Mi Yang had never completely trusted the local wealthy families.
Mi Yang is not a lustful ghost who accepts everyone he sees.
As for why Guan Yan was not around, it was because when Mi Yang left Xicheng, Guan Yan was already pregnant.
In order for Guan Yan to take good care of her fetus, Mi Yang left her in Xicheng.
It was also because of this that Mi Fang was not there when Mi Yang's war report was sent to Chengdu.
When Mi Fang learned the news that Guan Yan was pregnant, he was overjoyed.
At that time, he was looking for treasures everywhere and wanted to give them to his unborn grandson.
However, the treasure was not found, but Mi Fang found some clues in the Yinan area.
Recently there is a barbarian king named Meng Huo, who seems to be very active.
Wudang County is not far from Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong County, so a few days later, Mi Yang's military order from Wudang City was quickly transmitted to Nanzheng City.
As early as when Dong Yun rewarded Wei Yan, because Liu Bei merged Hanzhong and Hanxing into the Yibei Governorate, the news about Mi Yang's appointment as the Yibei Governor had already spread throughout the city of Nanzheng.
When the messenger representing Mi Yang, the governor of Yibei, entered Nanzheng City, under the summons of Fa Miao, all the Han generals in Nanzheng City had gathered at the county seat of Nanzheng City.
A group of generals, led by Wei Yan, the general of Hanzhen North, looked at the messenger standing in front of them.
They were all guessing what the first military order Mi Yang would give them after becoming the governor of Yibei.
After the messenger read out the contents of the military order issued by Mi Yang, Zhang Nan, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and other generals immediately looked at Wei Yan.
They remembered Wei Yan's behavior in front of Dong Yun before, and a look of understanding appeared on their faces.
Governor, this is nip in the bud.
But when Wei Yan heard that Mi Yang was going to transfer him to Wudang, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and then the look of surprise on his face turned into a look of displeasure.
Wei Yan straightened up immediately before he even finished listening to Mi Yang's subsequent series of arrangements for Hanzhong's defense.
Before Mi Yang's military order was read out, Wei Yan straightened his body without permission. This was a sign of disrespect and a silent resistance by Wei Yan.
When Wei Yan made this performance, Fa Miao, who was the guard of Hanzhong Army, immediately frowned and looked at Wei Yan and asked:
"General Zhenbei, what do you mean?"
Fa Miao, who had known Wei Yan for a long time, knew that Wei Yan had a terrible temperament.
But he didn't expect that Wei Yan's bad temperament was beyond his imagination.
When Fa Miao came to Hanzhong with the king's order to mobilize troops and horses, he was appointed by Liu Bei as the guard of Hanzhong.
The position of the Guards is called the Central Guards in the central government and is mainly responsible for enforcing the military discipline of the Forbidden Army.
The responsibilities of the guardian army at the local level are similar to those of the supervisory army sent by the central government to the local area.
Although the Guards are not of high rank and do not directly participate in the military, they hold the important power and responsibility of supervising the generals because they represent the central government.
Previously, Wei Yan was able to hand over his military power, in addition to Liu Bei's royal order, it was also because of the presence of Fa Miao, the Hanzhong guard.
Most of the Han troops who stayed in Hanzhong were left over from the original Battle of Hanzhong.
Among those Han armies, Fazheng's reputation was much higher than that of Wei Yan, the Hanzhong prefect who was suddenly promoted by Liu Bei.
As the son of Fazheng, Fa Miao naturally had a high reputation among the Han army in Hanzhong.
Fa Miao, who had such a reputation, could suppress Wei Yan to a certain extent only if he became the Hanzhong Guards.
There was a coldness in Famiao's words. Because of Famiao's words and Wei Yan's actions, the other generals present looked at Wei Yan with suspicion.
Under Liu Bei's previous royal order, the military power of Hanzhong's army had been controlled by Zhang Nan, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and others.
And those who have followed Mi Yang have already been convinced by Mi Yang.
Now that they saw that Wei Yan was so disrespectful to the orders of Mi Yang, the governor of Yibei, they would certainly be dissatisfied with Wei Yan's behavior.
But Wei Yan, who had already straightened up, looked around at the generals present who had doubts about him, but there was no explanation or fear on his face.
He looked deeply at Mi Yang's messenger with a pair of tiger eyes, and then strode out of the lobby.
From beginning to end, he never responded to Fa Miao's questions.
Seeing Wei Yan leaving with an arrogant look, all the generals in the hall had angry expressions on their faces.
But Fa Miao did not take any action.
Although Wei Yancai's actions were very disrespectful, he did not do anything more extreme after all.
Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, we should all tolerate each other for the sake of the country.
I just hope that Wei Yan can restrain his bad temper when he arrives in Wudang.
The right to holiday is sometimes not just a decoration!
