Liu Bei's words seemed to be a joke, but when his words fell into Mi Yang's ears, they caused Mi Yang to feel agitated.
Since ancient times, the emperor has no joke!
Although the Han Dynasty did not allow ministers with different surnames to become kings because of the oath of the white horse, countless famous ministers and generals have emerged in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.
In order to commend the meritorious service of many ministers who were as bright as stars, the Han Dynasty usually tried its best to give honors to ministers who had made great achievements in other aspects.
It's just that many famous ministers received honors, mostly after their deaths.
But this does not mean that famous ministers cannot enjoy the honors bestowed upon them by the Han Dynasty during their lifetime.
Going to the palace with swords and shoes is one of the lifetime honors that countless Han officials have dreamed of for more than four hundred years.
As famous as this honor is the incompetence of praise and worship, and the indifference of entering the court.
After Dong Zhuo, many powerful officials with treasonous intentions liked to give themselves these three honors.
Therefore, in the eyes of many future generations, once a certain minister collects these three honors, it means that he has the intention to change the dynasty.
But in fact, in the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, the first famous official to receive these three honors was Xiao He.
When Liu Bang bestowed these three honors on Xiao He, they only meant them as a compliment.
Just like how Liu Bei treats Mi Yang now.
Liu Bei was the emperor with real power, so when he said that he would give Mi Yang the honor of "going to the palace with swords and shoes", the faces of the Han officials in the tent were full of envy.
There is no one who is short-sighted and chooses this time to come out and tell stories about Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao to dissuade Liu Bei.
In the face of the praises thrown out by Liu Bei, Mi Yang is not a shy person, or in other words, he does not need to be shy in front of Liu Bei.
"I go first, thank you Your Majesty!"
Hearing that Mi Yang readily agreed to his request, Liu Bei also had a smile on his face.
Liu Bei smiled and said to Mi Yang: "Ordinary ministers would have to refuse this honor, but you accepted it readily."
Although Liu Bei personally gave Mi Yang the honor of going to the palace with swords and shoes, people will not mistakenly think that Mi Yang has hidden ambitions.
But following the precedents of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, ordinary people would always refuse a little when faced with the honor of going to the palace with swords and shoes.
It's just that Liu Bei didn't care that Mi Yang didn't refuse. What he said was actually teasing Mi Yang.
Faced with Liu Bei's teasing, Mi Yang responded:
"Your Majesty is not a suspicious king like Cao Cao, but a holy master who is rare to see in a hundred years.
When the Holy Lord comes to court, but his subordinates have unreasonable doubts in their hearts, that would be disloyalty.
When Prime Minister Xiao and Sima Huo received the honor, they did not refuse, and that’s why!”
After listening to Mi Yang's answer, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing.
On the surface, Mi Yang's words seemed to be explaining himself, but in fact they were praising Liu Bei for being a master of strategy like Taizu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
If others praise Liu Bei, they won't care, but now the one who praises Liu Bei is the world-famous Han general.
Mi Yang's praise is very valuable.
After laughing for a while, Liu Bei felt much more relaxed.
At this moment, he looked at Mi Yang with eyes full of love.
Everyone knows that he doted on Mi Yang, just like Emperor Xiaowu doted on Huo Dashima.
One of the reasons why Liu Bei loves Mi Yang so much is that every time he sees Mi Yang, his mood suddenly improves.
Lang Guan, who was drafting a living note for Liu Bei, suddenly became excited when he saw the intimate interaction between Liu Bei and Mi Yang and the sour expressions on the faces of the Han ministers in the tent.
As a historian, he must record in the annals of history the rare friendship between emperors and ministers of today's Han Dynasty.
So that when future generations see the history books of this dynasty, they can have a yearning for this dynasty in their hearts!
However, he was happy and happy, and Liu Bei did not forget about business.
A serious look appeared on Liu Bei's face and he said to Mi Yang: "Zi Sheng first came to Shanggui, so he may not understand the military situation.
Cao Zhen led tens of thousands of troops to garrison outside the city, and they were at odds with Guo Huai inside the city. This caused our army to return in vain after several fierce attacks.
If I hadn't had this power, how could I have stopped at the foot of this small Xiagui City?"
At this point, a look of indignation appeared on Liu Bei's face.
When Liu Bei said these words, all the Han officials in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not easy, but finally we got down to business.
It is normal for you Han ministers to have this kind of reaction.
After all, when Liu Bei and Mi Yang met just now, how could they have any sense of the boundaries between monarch and minister?
The two of them were as close as a father and son who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
It would be fine if the two of them were like this in private, but when they were both present, they couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was a little subtle.
The father and son were talking to each other as usual, and it was quite out of the blue for dozens of outsiders like them to be watching!
Liu Bei didn't pay attention to the strange expressions on the ministers' faces. After he briefly introduced the Wei army's tactics to Mi Yang, he saw a thoughtful look on Mi Yang's face, so he said to Dong Yun who was standing aside:
"The general has just arrived. Please take the general down first to have a good rest.
Tomorrow, you will take the general to the high building to investigate the details of the enemy."
When he said this, Liu Bei's words already indicated the intention of dismissing the meeting.
After all, no matter how great the temptation he promised was, no matter how amazing Mi Yang's strategy was, it was impossible for Mi Yang to come up with a countermeasure on that day without understanding the entire military situation.
It is not that easy to make Cao Zhen obediently retreat from Shanggui City, otherwise he would not have given the reward of going to the palace with swords and shoes to stimulate Mi Yang.
But just as Liu Bei finished speaking and Dong Yun was ordered to step forward to lead Mi Yang to rest, Mi Yang suddenly smiled and bowed to Liu Bei:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Cao Zhen will retreat within three days!"
"Um?"
Mi Yang's words not only caused a lot of questions to come out of Liu Bei's mouth, but also all the Han officials in the tent looked at Mi Yang with surprised eyes.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty would not have any jokes, and naturally the generals of the Han Dynasty should not either.
But what kind of thinking makes Mi Yang so determined?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the question on the minds of everyone in the account except Mi Yang.
Liu Bei was the most anxious. He quickly asked Mi Yang, "Why did Zi Sheng say this?"
Under Liu Bei's anxious inquiry, Mi Yang took out the battle report written by Jiang Wei himself and presented it to Liu Bei.
Then he turned to look at the Han ministers in the big tent and told them a piece of news that surprised them:
"Not long ago, Gu's general Jiang Wei held a banquet and killed Wang Sheng, the bandit army guard in Lueyang. Lueyang County, the backbone of Jieting, has fallen into the hands of our army."
When Mi Yang's voice spread throughout the tent, Liu Bei was still looking at the battle report in his hand, but the Han Chen in the tent had a look of shock on his face and looked around.
Can the war still be fought like this?
The important thing is that they remember that not long ago, Mi Yang just gave the big man a big victory.
How much time has passed now, and Mi Yang has actually cut off the retreat route of the Wei army in Jieting?
The situation changed so quickly that all the ministers felt incredible emotions.
This was not the first time that the ministers in the tent had heard of Mi Yang's great achievements, but this was the first time that they had experienced Mi Yang's decisive victory at such a close distance, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Hearing is never as good as seeing!
At this moment, all the Han officials in the tent looked at Mi Yang with eyes full of admiration.
This battle can really be fought like this!
It's just that some Hanchens in the commander's tent were quick to react and quickly combined the good news announced by Mi Yang with Mi Yang's conclusion just now.
Correspondingly, some happy discussions also sounded in the big tent.
At this time, those ministers who used to say they were good at military strategy finally had a place to use.
Looking at the battle report in his hand and listening to the increasingly heated discussions in the tent, Liu Bei felt quite complicated.
No wonder this guy agreed so readily.
It turned out that what he thought was a problem was just a problem that could be easily solved in his mind.
Although Liu Bei did not have Mi Yang's strategy, as a veteran general, he could naturally understand why Cao Zhen would retreat when Lueyang County fell into the hands of the Han army.
And even if Liu Bei didn't say the reason, a minister in the big tent who couldn't hide his excitement had already stood up.
This minister is none other than Huang Quan.
Huang Quan bowed to Liu Bei and Mi Yang with an excited expression and said:
"If the news that our army has recaptured Lueyang reaches Cao Zhen's camp, Cao Zhen will be worried about losing his way back and will definitely retreat!"
"And as long as Cao Zhen retreats, the entire territory of Liangzhou will be recovered.
Our army can then focus on moving forward and lead the army into Guanzhong in one go!"
After Huang Quan expressed his opinion, most of the ministers in the tent who were not good at military strategy reacted belatedly.
It turns out that it was because of this that the general was so sure.
Seeing that both Liu Bei and Mi Yang had no objection to Huang Quan's conclusion, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became heated.
Every word Huang Quan said was like a pair of big hands, bit by bit lifting away the dark clouds that had been covering Liu Bei and all the Han officials for many days.
Liangzhou was recovered!
March into Guanzhong!
These two sentences, like aged wine, made all the Han officials feel intoxicated.
The next moment, all the Han ministers excitedly raised the wat tablets in their hands and kept tapping their palms.
The sound of the fluorene board hitting the palms of his hands was sweet and loud, lingering in Liu Bei's handsome tent for a long time and unwilling to dissipate.
This was not only an applause for Mi Yang, but also an expression of the inner joy of all the Han ministers.
At this moment, the eyes of all the Han officials looking at Mi Yang changed from admiration to worship.
This is our great general!
Seeing the undisguised excitement on the faces of the ministers, Liu Bei quickly laughed after being depressed for a while.
When you give birth to a son, you should be like Mi Zisheng!
Fortunately, Zi Sheng and he were both disciples and disciples.
Liu Bei put away the battle report in his hand, and then looked at Dong Yun beside him.
Liu Bei ordered Dong Yun: "Go and bring in the General's Shendu Sword."
After receiving Liu Beixin's instructions, Dong Yun immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent. After a while, Dong Yun came from outside the tent and came a few steps away from Liu Bei holding the Shen Du sword in both hands.
Seeing Dong Yun returning with his sword, Liu Bei slowly stood up and walked towards Dong Yun.
Liu Bei's actions quickly attracted the attention of the ministers in the tent.
When Liu Bei came to Dong Yun, he picked up the Shen Dujian from Dong Yun's hand. Then he turned around and came to Mi Yang under the watchful eyes of the ministers.
Liu Bei's actions clearly revealed his intentions.
After standing in front of Mi Yang, Liu Bei held the sword belt on the scabbard of Shen Du sword in his hand, and under Mi Yang's adoring eyes, he hung Shen Du sword on his waist again:
"This sword is worn by you today with my own hands. Even if you are the king of future generations, I will not let you take off the sword!"
All the ministers knew that Liu Bei's action was to fulfill the promise he just made to Mi Yang.
But Liu Bei's words greatly exceeded the expectations of Mi Yang and the officials present.
Going to the palace with swords and shoes is an honor bestowed by the emperor on his ministers. The emperor can give it to him, but he can also take it back.
Liu Bei's words invisibly took away the power of future generations of Han emperors and deprived Mi Yang of his honor.
Throughout the history of the Han Dynasty, if an emperor wanted to punish a minister, he had to first deprive him of his honor, so that he could be justified.
None of the ministers here understand this political rule.
Because they understood, they realized how important Mi Yang was in Liu Bei's heart.
Liu Bei is not simply giving Mi Yang the honor of going to the palace with swords and shoes. He is giving Mi Yang a gold medal to avoid death!
Liu Bei is the founding king of the modern Han Dynasty. To the modern Han Dynasty, his words are undoubtedly equivalent to the ancestral system and the most prestigious justice!
The gold content of this death-free gold medal is enough to make any minister jealous.
It was enough to make Mi Yang feel indescribably grateful.
Mi Yang wanted to say something, but his words were blocked by Liu Bei's shaking head.
After Liu Bei hung the Shen sword for Mi Yang, he reached out and held Mi Yang's hand tightly and said softly:
"Next do what you have to do!"
After saying this, Liu Bei stepped over Mi Yang and announced loudly to the ministers present:
"From today onwards, the military affairs of the Northern Expedition will be in full charge of the general.
The soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty were all under the command of the general.
Seeing him is like seeing me!"
When Liu Bei's imperial edict spread throughout the entire tent, all the Han officials seated in the tent bowed to Mi Yang and saluted:
"only!"
From today on, Mi Yang officially takes charge of all the military power of the Han Dynasty.
This means that his power in the Han Dynasty has reached a new level.
This was originally a happy thing, but when Mi Yang looked at Liu Bei's back, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
When Liu Bei held his hands tightly, Mi Yang could feel Liu Bei's weakness.
No matter how great a hero is, he cannot escape the ravages of time.
...
While the Han army's camp was filled with excitement due to Mi Yang's arrival, there was a solemn atmosphere permeating the Wei army's camp.
This atmosphere stems from the thousands of cavalry troops who have recently fled to the Wei army's camp.
These thousands of cavalry troops fled all the way from Lueyang County to Shanggui.
And their arrival also brought bad news to the Wei army camp in Shanggui - Lueyang was lost!
Cao Zhen, who had just learned the news, felt that the news was a bit ridiculous.
Fake, must be fake!
But when he saw more and more cavalrymen fleeing back, all speaking in unison, Cao Zhen fell silent.
He really wanted to go to the street pavilion in person and ask Cao Zhang face to face, how did he fight this battle? If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) The Mi Han Novel Search Network has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
