Chapter 79 Going against the will of heaven (please read more)
After asking Liu Chan twice in a row, Liu Zhang looked at Liu Chan with a pair of mature eyes and said to him, "Chan'er!"
“There is no greater evil than not being satisfied, and no greater fault than desire.”
Liu Zhang pointed to the dilapidated former residence of Liu Bei that could be seen in the distance outside the high platform.
Then he looked at the high platform filled with precious things, and gave Liu Chan a final warning,
"Don't have any more evil thoughts. I just want to be a rich man in this life."
When Liu Zhang said this, although Liu Chan had reluctance on his face, he was frightened by the relationship between father and son, so he could only leave with a helpless sigh.
Looking at Liu Chan's leaving figure, Liu Zhang also sighed deeply in his heart.
I hope this idiot of his can listen to what he said today.
Compared with Liu Xun, Liu Chan was ultimately less transparent.
Liu Zhang knew that Liu Chan was still blaming him. The fact that he sacrificed Chengdu without a fight may have seemed to Liu Chan because of his cowardice.
But Liu Zhang knew in his heart: The morale of Liu Bei's army was high at that time, and he had countless generals and counselors under his command.
If the fight continues, Chengdu will definitely not be able to defend itself.
If this is the case, why bother to repeat the killing?
After Liu Chan left, the old Liu Zhang couldn't help but think back to the past because of Liu Chan's words today.
From the hundred-day feast with Liu Bei outside Fucheng, he thought of the fierce private debate between him and Liu Bei in Chengdu.
"If you and your son forgive each other every year, what will it do to the people?"
"It only fuels the arrogance of the rich and remnant people."
Liu Chan said that the people's hearts in Shu are within themselves, but the people's hearts he mentioned were only the hearts of those aristocratic families.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's heart was full of bitterness.
Then he thought of Mi Yang again.
Liu Zhang was not deaf, so of course he heard the loud shouts of victory outside just now.
In the past, when Xuande first arrived in Sichuan, he was still a child, but now he is so heroic and so heroic!
Liu Zhang felt a deep admiration for Mi Yang in his heart.
After Liu Chan got off the platform, a gloomy look flashed across his face.
It was obvious that he did not listen to Liu Zhang's advice just now.
Under the high platform, he heard the word "Mi Du" being heard all over the city, and a feeling of jealousy flashed in his heart.
Let you be proud for a few more days. When Jiangdong's army arrives, you will definitely cry.
This is in the east city of Public Security City, and the city gate is wide open.
Countless soldiers who surrendered from Jiangdong, escorted by Jingzhou soldiers, were filing into the city in rows and rows.
Because of the large number of people, the queue was so long that the end could not be seen at a glance.
The soldiers guarding the city wall could not hide the joy and excitement on their faces after seeing so many Sun troops entering the city with their hands tied and their faces looking ashen.
No matter how much Mi Yang used his faith to win over people's hearts, it was impossible for the soldiers in the public security city not to feel fear in the face of the absolute disparity in strength.
In the final analysis, it was because Mi Yang only had faith and no authority before.
Faith can win over people's hearts, but it cannot deter them.
But after winning this victory, the prestige Mi Yang established was enough to frighten the hearts of the people in the city.
Exceptions are the very few who are not clear-headed.
Guan Ping was at the city gate, looking for Mi Yang with his eyes.
Not long after, among thousands of soldiers, Guan Ping saw Mi Yang's presence at a glance.
In fact, the bright light armor Mi Yang was wearing, under the sunlight, it was difficult not to attract attention.
After Guan Ping found Mi Yang with his eyes, he immediately clapped his horse and quickly drove his horse to Mi Yang.
After seeing Mi Yang, Guan Ping couldn't help but admire Mi Yang and said, "After this battle, Zi Sheng will soon make a name for himself in Jingnan."
A few days ago, as the news of Guan Yu's victory over Xu Huang spread to Jingnan, Mi Yang's reputation for resourcefulness has been widely spread in the public security city because of Xu Huang's last words.
Xu Huang was one of the most famous generals in Cao Wei, but due to Mi Yang's plan, he ended up hating the northwest.
With the help of Xu Huang's fame, Mi Yang created a wave of reputation in the hearts of people all over the world.
Now, in just a few days, Mi Yang has achieved such a great victory again.
This will undoubtedly give Mi Yang's prestige another huge boost among the four counties in Jingnan.
And Mi Yang is only in his twenties now, and the world always has higher expectations for young talents.
Facing his friend's great achievements, Guan Ping was sincerely happy for Mi Yang.
Guan Ping's praise did not make Mi Yang look arrogant. He said to Guan Ping, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."
"If I don't have someone to protect the city, how can I go out to fight?"
"All the meritorious deeds I have accomplished are half the result of Tan."
After finishing speaking, Mi Yangyu immediately bowed to Guan Ping.
Ever since he led his army south outside Fancheng, Guan Ping had never looked down upon Mi Yang because he was older or because he was Guan Yu's son.
He had always trusted Mi Yang. Even if he sometimes didn't understand Mi Yang's plans, Guan Ping would just point it out to his face and never impose any restrictions behind his back.
Moreover, he has been using his influence as Master Guan Yu to win the hearts of Mi Yang.
And he has been faithfully executing all of Mi Yang's instructions.
Without Ping's selfless and honest dedication, Mi Yang would not have won today.
In terms of treating people with sincerity and serving the public whole, Guan Ping is really like Guan Yu.
So Mi Yang worshiped Guan Ping very sincerely.
Facing Mi Yang's bow, Guan Ping just smiled and said, "Why bother with my brother?"
"When we two brothers went south along the Han River, you once told me with a whip and said: One day, the names of you and me as brothers will be famous in Jingxiang."
"I have never forgotten these promises, and I have always longed for them."
"And you and I are brothers. Today your name is my hope. We should not distinguish between each other and there is no need to worry about each other."
Hearing what Guan Ping said, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh heartily.
In later generations, he had never experienced such sincere friendship.
After laughing, Mi Yang took Guan Ping to a nearby place.
Then he took out from his arms the private letter from Guan Yu to him, the public security general.
At this time, Yu Jin, who felt that he was becoming more and more active under Liu Bei, also followed Mi Yang.
Regarding Yu Jin's following, Mi Yang acted as if he turned a blind eye and didn't notice.
After Guan Ping took the letter and read it, his expression changed drastically.
Guan Yu told Mi Yang something in his letter, which made Guan Ping's heart feel like a huge wave.
Guan Ping blurted out, "The traitor Cao personally led an army of 100,000 people to the south?"
After hearing what Guan Ping said, Yu Jin almost fell off his horse in fright.
As for who Yu Jin fears the most in his heart, the first is Mi Yang who has caused a psychological shadow on him, and the second is Wei King Cao Cao.
When he heard that Wei King Cao Cao had personally led an army of 100,000 to the south, his reaction was even greater than that of Guan Ping.
When Guan Yu's envoy went south that day, he first appointed Mi Yang as the commander-in-chief of the public security city.
The second step is to inform the generals in the public security city that he has defeated Xu Huang and will lead reinforcements southward in the near future.
As for the news that Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 people to the south, Guan Yu just wrote a secret letter and asked the envoy to give it to Mi Yang.
The reason is that he doesn't want this news to be revealed and cause panic among the people in the police city.
Although Guan Ping's expression changed drastically, he quickly calmed down.
He quickly realized something and said to Mi Yang, "What about what my father said the day before yesterday that he would lead the army south?"
Mi Yang sighed and replied lightly, "Of course it's impossible."
"Not only that, the former general also told me in the letter to protect Jingnan."
Guan Yu originally asked Mi Yang to guard the public security for two months, saying that he would lead his army south to support him within two months.
Everything originally developed smoothly. After Guan Yu successfully killed Xu Huang, he planned to slowly retreat south and go to the police.
If Cao Cao hadn't personally led an army of 100,000 people southward, Guan Yu's reinforcements would surely have arrived at the Public Security Bureau within two months.
But now that there are such changes, everything in the future has become unpredictable.
But Yu Jin, who had just calmed down, suddenly realized something.
He looked at Mi Yang and asked slowly, "The former general asked you to protect Jingnan?"
Mi Yang nodded.
Mi Yang's nod almost scared Yu Jin to death.
At the beginning, Guan Yu promised to lead his army south within two months, and only asked Mi Yang to guard the public security within two months.
But as Mi Yang's performance became more and more outstanding, Guan Yu, who had no one to support him, could only place a new burden on Mi Yang.
That is to protect Jingnan for him!
"If I were just to guard public security, I wouldn't have to go to war today.
With six thousand troops in the city and five thousand barbarians arriving, it is not difficult to defend a public security city for several months."
"But now the situation has changed."
"The counties in Jingnan are dilapidated and not as strong as Gong'an City. Moreover, the troops in the counties are sparse and there are many soldiers in the counties, making them unable to bear a battle."
"I am not afraid of Sun Quan's army besieging the city. I am only afraid that Sun Quan's army will besiege the city but not fight, and then divide the troops to attack the counties in Jingnan and Jiangling."
"Therefore, when Sun Huan leads his army, I can only lead the army to fight."
"If we win, it will not only demoralize the enemy, but also let Lu Meng know that I not only have the strength to defend the city, but also have troops to go out and fight in the field."
"I am not a stickler!"
"Only in this way, he will not divide his troops easily because he is worried about the loss of food routes."
"For a safe plan, he must first go to the police station before he dares to attack the counties in Jingnan."
"If he wants to divide his troops to plot against me in Jingzhou, he should end my victory today."
"Only in this way can I find a way to restrain Lu Meng's army outside the public security city and prevent them from moving."
When Mi Yang finished explaining his plan, Yu Jin's face turned pale.
He raised his fingers and said tremblingly, "Madman, you are a madman!"
"The King of Wei and Sun Quan joined forces, and a total of more than 200,000 troops gathered in Jingzhou."
"It's just you, how can you go against the will of heaven!"
Yu Jin never expected that Mi Yang came out of the city to fight Sun Huan with this intention.
No wonder Mi Yang captured Sun Huan but didn't kill him.
Thinking that he had been completely taken aboard the pirate ship by Mi Yang, Yu Jin felt despair.
What was different from Yu Jin's reaction was that after listening to Mi Yang's plan, Guan Ping put a pair of big hands on Mi Yang's shoulders, and his words were full of determination.
"Zisheng, since you want to go against heaven, I will stand by your side."
After hearing what Guan Ping said, Yu Jin stroked his head and sighed.
Yes, there is another madman.
Haven't you two ever thought about abandoning the city and leaving?
Is guarding Jingzhou and reviving the Han Dynasty really more important than life?
There are no reinforcements from the police now!
Someone close to me is hospitalized. I've been taking care of him for the past two days. I'm sorry for the late update.
