Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were still thinking about Mi Yang's proposal, but they didn't expect Liu Chan, who was always good at "keep silent and only love to seal", to suddenly say these words.
This was something Mi Yang never expected.
Logically speaking, as an emperor, Liu Chan should consider things from the perspective of national interests. What's more, as an emperor, he should not overtly reveal his dependence on a minister.
But Liu Chan didn't.
Compared with national interests, his first consideration was Mi Yang's safety, and he unabashedly revealed his dependence on Mi Yang.
On one point, Liu Chan was undoubtedly unqualified as an emperor.
But even Zhuge Liang, who always liked to preach to Liu Chan, did not say anything to educate Liu Chan at this time.
Because in Ji Han's political tradition, friendship is always the first weapon to impress people.
Mi Yang, who felt a warm current flowing in her heart, turned around and bowed to Liu Chan:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured.
Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I lived in Jingzhou for a long time when I was young?
It’s not like I haven’t experienced the miasma in Jingzhou before, so it’s not a serious problem.
However, the situation that Your Majesty is worried about has not yet stabilized. I believe that with the presence of the general and the Prime Minister, even if I leave Chang'an, the situation will continue to develop for the better."
After giving the above two reasons, Mi Yang paused and said to Liu Chan:
"Besides, before his death, the late Emperor entrusted His Majesty to three ministers and others.
Today, hungry wolves are about to stalk the country's borders. As a great Sima, I have the first duty to stabilize the country's borders and expel hungry wolves!
Only in this way can your Majesty be safe in Chang'an."
After saying this, Mi Yang bowed deeply to Liu Chan, hoping that Liu Chan would grant his request.
But Liu Chan was still hesitating.
Liu Chan is not stupid. Although he failed to think of the reasons Mi Yang said at the beginning, after Mi Yang explained, Liu Chan naturally understood.
It's just that Liu Chan is nominally the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but in essence he is still a child who has been well protected since childhood and whose mind has not yet fully matured.
For a child, his biological father has just passed away from illness, which is the time when he feels most insecure.
Fortunately, when he was most uneasy, there were three pillars standing in front of him, constantly giving him a sense of security.
Over the past few months, Liu Chan has become accustomed to having three pillars in front of him to protect him from wind and rain.
But today without warning, one of the three pillars was about to leave him.
Liu Chan couldn't accept this sudden change for a while.
It is good that the situation in Jingzhou may worsen, but Liu Chan always remembers that Jingzhou is far away.
"During the reign of the late Emperor, Li Yan once claimed to be proficient in military strategy.
Why did Li Yan die as soon as the late emperor passed away?"
In Liu Chan's view, no matter how bad the situation in Jingzhou gets, Li Yan is still useless in the final analysis.
If he was useful, why would Mi Yang go all the way to Jingzhou?
Seeing that Liu Chan suddenly turned his attention to Li Yan, but refused to agree to Mi Yang's request, Zhuge Liang felt funny in his heart, so he could only stand up and persuade Liu Chan:
"Your Majesty, what Grand Sima said makes sense.
I hope your Majesty will put the country first!"
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhang Fei also stood up and bowed to Liu Chan to show his agreement.
For his peer Mi Yang, Liu Chan might still want to "pretend to be pitiful" to keep him, but if Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei, who are elders, also agree to this, then Liu Chan has no choice.
When Liu Chan was a child, he had to endure many punishments from Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang...
After realizing that Mi Yang's trip to Jingzhou was irreversible, Liu Chan sniffed and said with a bit of tears:
"Then when will Da Sima come back?"
"The mansion I built for Da Sima will be completed in a short time."
Good guy, Mi Yang hasn't left yet, and Liu Chan is thinking that he is back.
The fact that Liu Chan personally supervised the construction of Mi Yang's mansion has also been a hotly debated matter between the government and the public recently.
Mi Yang's current residence is where Cao Zhen used to live in Chang'an.
After all, the Han Dynasty had just moved its capital to Chang'an a few months ago, and everything was in ruins. Even if Liu Bei wanted to build new mansions for some ministers, he really couldn't spare the manpower and material resources.
After several months of development, under Zhuge Liang's rule, all aspects of Chang'an were gradually on track.
In this way, Liu Chan, who had nothing to do every day, thought of building a new mansion for Mi Yang.
Cao Zhen was a general who lost his army, and Mi Yang has been living in his mansion, which has a bad connotation.
In order to show the importance he attached to Mi Yang, Liu Chan not only allocated a large piece of land next to the palace for Mi Yang, but he also personally assumed the position of "chief engineer".
In order to give Mi Yang a surprise, Liu Chan did not allow Mi Yang to observe the structure of the new mansion before it was built.
Originally, Liu Chan wanted to wait for the completion of the new mansion and bring Mi Yang in personally to show him his meticulous care for him.
But now, because of Lu Xun, Cao Xiu, and Li Yan, his long-planned and wonderful dream suddenly came to nothing.
How can this not make a child sad?
No, you have to write an edict to criticize Li Yan.
Liu Chan's innocence once again brought smiles to the faces of Mi Yang and the others.
Facing the innocent Liu Chan, Mi Yang was also willing to coax him.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty.
It is not yet possible to make a precise judgment on the situation in Jingzhou.
After I arrive in Jingzhou, if the situation in Jingzhou is stable, I will take the time to return to Beijing to report on my duties and take a look at the new residence that your Majesty has painstakingly built for me."
Mi Yang showed a confident look.
Mi Yang's vow also made Liu Chan feel much better.
"I believe in Da Sima's talent.
In this case, I will wait for Da Sima in Chang'an."
After saying this, Liu Chan secretly took out the emperor's seal that he had hidden just now from his arms.
After Liu Chan finally agreed to Mi Yang's request, Mi Yang turned around and said to Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei:
"After Yang left Chang'an, the safety of Guanzhong was entrusted to the prime minister and the general."
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Zhuge Liang seemed to remember a point in the information that Mi Yang had just mentioned that had been ignored.
"What does Zisheng think of Sima Yi?"
According to the intelligence provided by Mi Yang just now, Mi Yang believes that the next Luoyang guard for Cao Wei is likely to be Sima Yi.
And Luoyang and Chang'an are not far away.
It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang asked this question.
Mi Yang vaguely sensed some excitement from Zhuge Liang's words.
Come on, that character named Le Yi is starting to make moves again.
After thinking for a while, Mi Yang gave his evaluation of Sima Yi:
"Able to bend and stretch, and good at making surprises."
The first four characters are Mi Yang's evaluation of Sima Yi's character, and the last four characters are Mi Yang's evaluation of Sima Yi's military strategy.
At first glance, being good at making surprises may seem inconsistent with Sima Yi's impression, but in fact these four words are the best interpretation of Sima Yi's combat style in history.
Cao Cao's plan to join forces with Sun Yat-sen to attack Guan Yu, the capture of Meng Da in the Battle of Xincheng, the surprise attack from behind in the Battle of Lucheng, the swift and powerful wind that pacified Liaodong, the fatal blow in the Gaopingling Incident...
All of the above all reflect Sima Yi's combat style of being "good at surprising people."
But why did Sima Yi become an old turtle in the minds of the world in later generations?
You have to ask Zhuge Liang opposite Mi Yang...
After receiving Mi Yang's evaluation of Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang nodded thoughtfully.
He felt that he was even more excited.
Zhuge Liang's excitement was not only observed by Mi Yang, but also Liu Chan was vaguely aware of it.
Liu Chan is not stupid.
After Liu Chan noticed something, he looked at Mi Yang who looked friendly, then looked at Zhuge Liang who looked solemn, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhang Fei who looked serious.
Is it possible that after my cousin left, my father-in-law also left?
Then if they all leave, the ones who stay with him will be the ones who stay with him, right?
When he thought of this, Liu Chan's young body shook uncontrollably.
Subconsciously, Liu Chan reached out and took the emperor's seal on the case into his arms and hid it.
Do not do this!
...
After the discussion was over, Mi Yang immediately returned to Da Sima Mansion to dispatch troops and generals.
As Mi Yang said just now during the discussion, he attaches great importance to Lu Xun.
Although Mi Yang has defeated many famous generals in the world over the past few years, in Mi Yang's view, compared with Lu Xun, those famous generals are still inferior.
It is Mi Yang's creed to never underestimate any opponent.
Mi Yang summoned Jiang Ji, and then read out the generals he had planned to go to Jingzhou with him one by one.
Under Mi Yang's narration, Jiang Jizheng recorded every name in Mi Yang's mouth on the silk book.
Shi Bao, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng......
Since Jingzhou already had some good generals, Mi Yang did not want to bring too many generals to Jingzhou.
The names he read today were basically his direct generals.
And when Mi Yang finished reading all the names in his heart, Jiang Ji soon discovered that something was wrong.
Jiang Ji carefully recalled what Mi Yang had just said. After realizing that he had not made any omissions, he looked at Mi Yang with some questions.
After Mi Yang saw Jiang Ji's confused look, he asked curiously:
"What's wrong?"
After hearing Mi Yang's inquiry, Jiang Jicai expressed the question in his heart:
"Da Sima seems to have forgotten someone."
Seeing that this was Jiang Ji's doubt, Mi Yang thought for a moment and knew who Jiang Ji was referring to.
That person was none other than Jiang Wei, who had recently become famous among the Han army.
Although Jiang Wei was a surrendered general of Cao Wei, he had made a lot of contributions to Mi Yang since he surrendered to Mi Yang. He was even highly appreciated by Ma Chao, which caused his status in the Han army to rise sharply.
Although Jiang Wei's current military position is not high, many people, including Jiang Ji, know that Jiang Wei's future will be very promising.
The most important thing is that Mi Yang's "special love" for Jiang Wei is often circulated among the Han army.
At this point, Jiang Jicai was surprised why Mi Yang missed Jiang Wei.
Could it be that Jiang Wei has fallen out of favor?
No way, I saw him a few days ago and he still looks great!
While Jiang Ji kept thinking about the reason, Mi Yang seemed not to want to explain too much:
"Wherever Bo will go, Gu will have his own arrangements."
Seeing that Mi Yang had said this, Jiang Ji simply avoided the topic.
Originally, because Jiang Weitong was a surrendered general of Cao Wei, he wondered if he could help him invisibly.
Now it seems that Mi Yang has some calculations in his heart, so Jiang Ji naturally knows how to avoid suspicion.
Jiang Ji then handed the list of generals written in his hand to Mi Yang for review.
After Mi Yang read it and felt that there was no problem, Jiang Ji walked out with the list.
Not long after, unexpected news appeared in Chang'an City.
"Da Sima is selecting generals and intends to go to Jingzhou!"
When this news spread among the people, some generals in Chang'an City also received recruitment orders from Da Sima's Mansion.
All the Han generals who received this order showed joy on their faces.
Originally, many Han generals regretted that they could not be included in the list of generals for the Western Expedition.
Unexpectedly, there is another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers. The Western Expedition cannot go there, but they have a share in the Eastern Expedition.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the Western Expedition. Although the countries in the Western Regions are not strong, they are victorious because of their large numbers, and the credit can be shared equally to a large extent.
But for them, the Eastern Expedition opened up the world even more!
Over the past few years, Mi Yang's image of being victorious in every battle has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every Han general.
Similarly, the impression that Mi Yang could perform meritorious deeds while lying down was deeply ingrained in the minds of every Han general.
The most important thing is that it is not difficult to annihilate the countries in the Western Regions. If you succeed, you can at most say "turn the barbarians into China and educate the foreign countries."
But the pacification of Soochow can at least be praised as having made a huge contribution to China's unification war.
The former may only be mentioned briefly in history books, while the latter will be mentioned in detail in history books.
Who is superior and who is inferior? Do we need to say more?
Because of this, the Han generals who received this order were all very happy.
Unify! Unify!
Just thinking of these two words makes me extremely excited!
They immediately packed their bags at home.
Among the many Han generals packing their bags, Jiang Wei was naturally included.
Jiang Wei did not receive the order, but he received the news that Mi Yang was going to pacify Soochow.
In Jiang Wei's view, for such a country-destroying war, whether it was based on the talents he had shown before or the love Mi Yang had shown for him before, he should be on the list of generals accompanying the army.
Maybe it's still at the top of the list, because Deng Ai is not here now.
Jiang Wei, who had this idea, would only think that the summons had not been received even if he had not received it.
But when Jiang Wei packed his bags excitedly and waited for the order at home, the passage of time made Jiang Wei realize that something was wrong.
Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Jiang Wei knew that even if there was a delay, his order would not be delivered so late.
The smart Jiang Wei immediately realized: Mi Yang probably did not intend to take him with him in this Eastern Expedition.
But why?
Feeling aggrieved and puzzled, Jiang Wei tossed and turned in the room, unable to fall asleep.
Until a flash of light appeared on the horizon, Jiang Wei jumped up from the couch.
After packing his luggage for a while, Jiang Wei opened the door and walked straight towards Da Sima's Mansion.
Jiang Wei, who has great ambitions in his heart, knows:
Instead of thinking wildly at home, it is better to take steps and bravely pursue your future.
