Chapter 127: Meeting over warm wine and Mi Yang scolding Sun
In December of the 24th year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, outside Gong'an City, the agreed meeting date between Mi Yang and Sun Quan had arrived.
In the real history of the Three Kingdoms, it may be rare for the generals of the two armies to fight in front of each other, but the meeting and discussion between the two army generals is recorded in history books.
For example, during the Battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu met with Xu Huang, such as the famous single-handed meeting in history.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for Jingzhou but was unable to do so, and he was very angry.
He ordered Lu Meng to lead his army to capture the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang. After Liu Bei learned of this, he rushed to the public security bureau from Chengdu in person and sent General Guan Yu to fight for the three counties.
Sun Quan himself also led his troops to Lukou and sent Lu Su to garrison Yiyang to resist Guan Yu.
At that time, a war between the two sides was about to break out, and the Sun-Liu alliance was facing collapse.
At this critical juncture, Lu Su, who was the governor of Jiangdong at the time, decided to negotiate with Guan Yu in person in order to safeguard the Sun-Liu alliance and not give Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Su invited Yu to meet each other, and each stationed its troops and horses at a hundred paces, but all the generals can do it alone."
In order to investigate Lu Meng's condition, Mi Yang proposed to meet Lu Meng in person.
Although Lu Meng was now seriously ill and unable to get out of bed, Sun Quan resolutely accepted Mi Yang's suggestion.
Sun Quan was willing to accept Mi Yang's suggestion. First, he wanted to find out who the traitor in his own army was by meeting with Mi Yang.
On the other hand, he knew that Mi Yang had many tricks and was good at disturbing people's hearts.
If he chose to avoid Mi Yang's invitation, Mi Yang would definitely take the opportunity to spread the word.
Then he used this to disrupt the morale of the Jiangdong army. In that case, it would be detrimental to Sun Quan.
It was out of these two considerations that Sun Quan agreed to Mi Yang's invitation.
With the previous experience of meeting between Guan Yu and Lu Su, today’s meeting between Sun Quan and Mi Yang should be arranged as in the past.
"Each garrison is stationed in a camp outside the city a hundred steps away, and each leads two generals to gather alone at noon."
This was Han Dang's reply to Mi Yang yesterday when he shot into the public security city at Sun Quan's instruction.
After Mi Yang received Sun Quan's reply, he immediately sent another Jiangdong surrender soldier to bring back a letter, which said "yes".
When I went to a meeting alone a few years ago, the word "lonely" was just an adjective.
In fact, Guan Yu and Lu Su were each accompanied by several generals, but these generals only met with swords on their waists.
Because he had won many great victories in a row, Mi Yang now had a lot of troops from Jiangdong in his hands.
On the other hand, the Jiangdong side, in order to communicate, could only spend a lot of effort shooting arrows to go to the public security city.
The meeting place between Mi Yang and Sun Quan was chosen in an open area.
Not only is this place too empty to hide an ambush, but it is also just a hundred steps away from the two armies, making it very suitable for the meeting between the two armies' generals.
According to the range and power of bows and arrows in this era, it was not easy to hit Mi Yang and Sun Quan with one arrow from a hundred steps away.
It is even more impossible to imagine that one arrow could cause damage to Mi Yang and Sun Quan, who were both wearing good armor.
Sun Quan was wearing armor in the camp.
Although his armor is not Mingguang Armor, it is an armor with excellent protective power that was forged by famous Jiangdong craftsmen with countless efforts.
Today, Sun Quan will bring two generals to meet Mi Yang, namely Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang.
These two generals are both famous generals in the Jiangdong Army today.
If Mi Yang has evil intentions, with the presence of these two generals, even if there are ten thousand enemy Guan Yu, they will be enough to protect Sun Quan until the Jiangdong army in the camp comes to help.
When Sun Quan put on his armor and saw that the time was approaching, he took Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng out of the Jiangdong camp and arrived at the place agreed upon with Mi Yang yesterday.
When Sun Quan arrived at the agreed place, he saw a young general wearing bright light armor sitting under a cover.
A food table has already been placed under the cover, and on the food table is a wine stove.
Fireworks are burning in the furnace, and steam is steaming from the wine pot on the furnace.
At this time Mi Yang also saw Sun Quan arriving.
This was the first time Sun Quan met Mi Yang.
In the past, he had learned about Mi Yang from various types of information.
When he knew that it was Mi Yang's design that caused him to lose the best opportunity to seize Jingzhou, he hated Mi Yang.
In the subsequent intelligence, Mi Yang defeated his own army twice.
This undoubtedly deepened Sun Quan's hatred for Mi Yang and at the same time made him very curious.
What kind of person can achieve such impressive achievements at such a young age?
Even his elder brother Sun Ce's achievements at Mi Yang's age would not be better than Mi Yang's.
After seeing Mi Yang's appearance, Sun Quan saw his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his tall and straight posture, and his heroic spirit. He couldn't help but respect Mi Yang a little more.
People in this world sometimes judge people by their appearance more than those in later generations.
A good skin can easily affect people's senses.
Sun Quan, escorted by Generals Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng, got off his horse, and then walked to the opposite side of Mi Yang.
Seeing Sun Quan approaching, Mi Yang just raised her head and glanced slightly.
He saw the middle-aged general in front of him who was tall and straight, with a big mouth and bright eyes.
His figure is long at the top and short at the bottom, which is roughly the same as the appearance of Sun Quan recorded in history.
Is this the famous Emperor Wu in history?
Pan Zhang, who was behind Sun Quan, saw that Mi Yang just glanced at his Supreme and stopped making any moves after Sun Quan arrived. Pan Zhang was furious.
"Mischievous thief, my master has arrived, why don't you worship me?"
Upon hearing Pan Zhang calling Mi Yang a thief, Shamoko, who was behind Mi Yang, became furious.
To call his benefactor a thief is not to call him a barbarian king.
Shamoko glared at Pan Zhang and was about to draw his sword directly, but was stopped by Mi Yang who knew his character.
When Shamoko, who was originally angry, saw Mi Yang trying to stop him, he instantly stopped the urge to draw his sword and stayed behind Mi Yang.
Sun Quan saw this scene clearly.
He saw that Samoko was nine feet long, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and a majestic appearance. He was a rare warrior.
He learned from Han Dang that Zhou Tai was shot and wounded by a nine-foot-long barbarian general, and finally died of his injuries due to his old age.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Sun Quan guessed that the barbarian general Han Dang mentioned should be the one in front of him.
Such a fierce general was willing to be driven by Mi Yang, because his anger was extinguished with one action, which is enough to prove that Mi Yang can win the heart of a hero.
After Mi Yang stopped Samoko, he smiled and said, "Your master is not the king of my family. I have no distinction between king and minister, so why should I worship him?"
"Your master has invaded my lord's territory for no reason, and I am willing to treat you with wine. This is the utmost courtesy."
"Besides, you are all from Jiangdong, and you have come to Jingzhou as guests. When guests enter the main gate, don't you pay me your respects first?"
Mi Yang is well-known in Chengdu for being an eloquent speaker.
When I was in Chengdu, I don't know how many celebrities from Yizhou who liked to deduce prophecies were speechless and stunned by what he said.
When Mi Yang left Chengdu, countless celebrities from Yizhou who had been silenced by Mi Yang breathed a sigh of relief at home.
Nowadays, people who have not read much of Pan Zhang's book want to take advantage of Mi Yang in words, which is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Sure enough, Pan Zhang was momentarily speechless under Mi Yang's rhetorical question.
Mi Yang is now talking to him about etiquette, but he is such a rough and fierce general, how can he understand the meaning of etiquette.
Pan Zhang, who was speechless by Mi Yang's rhetorical question, was stunned on the spot.
Pan Zhang's face turned red because he was speechless.
His original intention was to show his loyalty in front of Sun Quan and gain the upper hand for him, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who was embarrassed in the end.
At this time, Sun Quan's majestic gaze swept across Pan Zhang, and the chill in his eyes was self-evident.
If you can't speak, speak less.
Master Mi Yang is well-known and has made many military exploits. Even when he talks to Mi Yang, he doesn't dare to take it lightly. How can he, Pan Zhang He De, dare to be so presumptuous?
It's just that Sun Quan is worthy of being a powerful leader, and he was not annoyed under Mi Yang's questioning.
He just pretended not to hear, and then Shi Shiran had to sit down opposite Mi Yang.
Mi Yang thought that Sun Quan would refute him, but he didn't expect that he would stop talking and just sit down straight, as if he was the master here.
Sun Quan proved with his actions that he also had a share in Jingzhou.
Mi Yang did not comment on Sun Quan's move. He just poured a glass of wine for Sun Quan who was sitting down.
In order to show that the wine was not poisonous, Mi Yang drank the glass of wine in front of him first.
Mi Yang's move gave Sun Quan, who had always been suspicious, some peace of mind.
But he still didn't touch the glass of wine.
After he finished drinking with Mi Yang, he suddenly asked Mi Yang, "It must be hard for Zi Sheng to serve an unruly king."
Seeing that Mi Yang was very discerning, Sun Quan wanted to use words to make things difficult for Mi Yang so that he could take a more active position in the subsequent talks.
Sun Quan asked this, and Mi Yang's answer was inappropriate no matter what he said.
Because when he answered yes or no, he was acquiescing to Sun Quan's previous accusation that Liu Bei was an unruly king.
Just now, Mi Yang said that Liu Bei was his lord. If he now follows Sun Quan's advice, he is undoubtedly controlling his own words and leaving the words in Sun Quan's hands.
After Sun Quan asked Mi Yang, he stared at Mi Yang, trying to see the embarrassment on his face. Unfortunately, he also underestimated Mi Yang.
Under Sun Quan's attention, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face. He pointed to the food table in front of him and said, "One pour and one drink, no need to worry."
As soon as Mi Yang said these words, Sun Quan's face immediately darkened.
He originally wanted to embarrass Mi Yang, but was ridiculed and scolded by the astute Mi Yang.
Under Mi Yang's words, isn't the person he calls the unruly king referring to himself?
This thief! So angry!
Seeing Sun Quan's face gloomy and looking like he was not having a good attack, Mi Yang didn't care how much he hated her.
He asked the question that concerned him the most today: "The person I have an appointment with today is Governor Lu Da."
"Why did the Lord of Jiangdong come to meet him in person before Governor Lu arrived?"
As early as yesterday's letter, Han Dang informed Mi Yang that the person meeting him today was Sun Quan.
Mi Yang's question caused the conversation between the two to enter the theme in an instant.
A look of insight appeared on Sun Quan's face. He pointed at Mi Yang and said, "You have so many eyes on her, so why do you ask questions knowingly?"
Because he was angry in his heart, Sun Quan no longer concealed his hatred for Mi Yang and stopped calling her by names.
And now Sun Quan is not afraid that Mi Yang will know the news that Lu Meng is seriously ill.
Because he came, the morale of the army was solidified.
Sun Quan's rhetorical question allowed Mi Yang to gain two key information points.
The first information point is that the six words "I heard that the governor was seriously ill" in his letter made Sun Quan mistakenly think that he had an insider in the Jiangdong army.
The second information point is that Sun Quan's words and actions prove that Lu Meng is probably really seriously ill.
Or at least, Lu Meng has lost Sun Quan's trust.
Otherwise, Lü Meng, as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong army, would not come without Lü Meng if Sun Quan wanted to meet him in person, even if he wanted to meet him by name.
After basically confirming this, Mi Yang quietly put down a big stone in his heart.
In other words, Sun Quan is now in charge of the entire Jiangdong Army, and Lü Meng has lost the right to command the army.
When faced with Sun Quan's words to test the spy, Mi Yang did not answer directly. He just said vaguely,
"If there is an unruly king, there will naturally be disloyal ministers. This is an ancient and modern truth. Why should the general ask me?"
Sun Quan was suspicious, and the less Mi Yang refused to answer him directly, the more suspicious he would be based on his own conjectures.
But at this moment, Mi Yang's words made Sun Quan sneer.
Seeing the half-smiling expression on Mi Yang's face, Sun Quan said, "Absurd!"
"How can I ever be without virtue?"
"On the contrary, your lord Liu Bei, who was married to Gu and swore an oath of alliance, refused to return the Jingzhou that Gu borrowed from him after he acquired Yizhou.
Can such an ungrateful person be considered an unjust king?"
Seeing that Sun Quan was making fun of Jingzhou again, Mi Yang's face darkened.
Sun Shiwan told so many lies that he even believed him, so he didn't deserve a fight, right?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mi Yang looked at Sun Quan and he said sternly, "What the general said about borrowing Jingzhou is completely false."
"After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated, but he still controlled Nanjun and Nanyang."
"At that time, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, died of illness, and the whereabouts of his son Liu Cong were unknown. In Jingzhou, the title of succession after the death of a father should be inherited by Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao."
"At that time, my lord appointed Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou in Jiangxia, and he conquered the four counties in southern Jingzhou."
"Because Liu Qi inherited Jingzhou's laws of nature and people's will, when our Lord conquered the four counties in Jingnan, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, all surrendered."
"Then Liu Qi unfortunately died of illness and had no heirs. Before his death, he entrusted Jingzhou to my lord."
"According to the laws of the people and the people, my lord is the well-deserved new lord of Jingzhou. As for Jingzhou, what does it have to do with the general?"
"The general is the lord of Jiangdong after all, but he didn't expect to be so shameless.
For their own selfish purposes, they distort the facts and attack their allies on unfounded charges."
"General, aren't you afraid that after your death, Qing Shi Zhaozhao will criticize you for your treachery and duplicity, and scold you for eternity?"
Mi Yang's impassioned rebuttal made Sun Quan furious.
Compared with Sun Quan's unreasonable borrowing of Jingzhou, Mi Yang presented the facts and made sense.
The Battle of Chibi was only a dozen years ago, and many of the people involved were still alive. How could Sun Quan be allowed to confuse right and wrong?
Seeing that Sun Quan was speechless by his words, Mi Yang continued to refute Sun Quan and said,
"Previously, your general Zhou Yu captured Nanjun and lent it to my lord.
Later, in gratitude for Zhou Yu's kindness, my lord divided the three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang and gave them to you."
"Unexpectedly, my lord's benevolence is thought to be weak by you, and you even plan to send troops to attack my Jingzhou in the name of "returning Jingzhou"."
"You are so virtuous, you really think you are the master of Jiangdong."
"Sun Zhongmou, I have seen quite a few shameless people in my life, but this is the first time in my life that I have seen someone as shameless as you, like a snake, insect, rat, or ant who is only worthy of hiding on the ground and drilling camp."
"You really think that there is no general in the Han family who can destroy Wu!"
Since Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, he has never been scolded in person like this.
And the key point is that every word Mi Yang scolded him, and he couldn't refute every word, which made Sun Quan almost vomit blood from anger.
In a rage, he immediately jumped up and said, "Thief, I really don't dare to kill you!"
Facing Sun Quan's actions of taking advantage of the situation, Mi Yang was not afraid at all.
With a great victory under his belt, his own power is no worse than that of Sun Quan.
He also slapped the case and stood up, saying: "Cunning prisoner, you want to die!"
As Mi Yang and Sun Quan started to protest, the generals behind them also drew their swords and glared at each other.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.
