Guan Yu's firm and heavy tone made Mi Yang feel depressed.
However, although his mood began to sink, Mi Yang followed Guan Yu's words and showed nothing strange on his face.
And under Guan Yu's arrangement, he took over the reins given to him by Guan Yu.
This means that the horse the two of them are riding on is controlled by Mi Yang.
It also means that Mi Yang is willing to take over from Guan Yu, those two heavy words.
Guan Yu's inheritance is not only a great honor, but also a heavy responsibility.
This responsibility may make Mi Yang unable to breathe in the future.
But no matter what, when Guan Yu had such expectations for him, Mi Yang was willing to shoulder the responsibilities that Guan Yu entrusted to him.
The inheritance is passed down from generation to generation, and it does not necessarily have to be based on blood as the hub, and it does not necessarily have to be based on checks and balances as the guarantee.
As long as there is full trust, the romantic inheritance that belongs to Ji Han will spontaneously flow into this world.
After Guan Yu saw Mi Yang voluntarily taking the reins from his hands, even though the pain in his body was getting worse and worse, a smile still appeared on his face.
This smile is full of joy.
Guan Yu felt that his body was getting more and more tired.
However, in order to prevent himself from appearing abnormal in the eyes of interested people, Guan Yu did not order to interrupt the city entry ceremony to promote martial power.
But inadvertently, Guan Yu, who was sitting behind Mi Yang, moved his body closer to Mi Yang's back.
Under Guan Yu's movements, Mi Yang felt a broad chest on her back, which was resisting his back more and more weakly.
After noticing this, Mi Yang seemed to realize something.
The low mood in his heart had turned into sadness, and his eyes gradually became moist.
But Guan Yu didn't know Mi Yang's reaction. After teaching Mi Yang the true meaning of inheritance, he forced his body to face Mi Yang and continued:
"Jingzhou will not let you take over in the short term, but Jingzhou will definitely be your stage in the future."
"When I was guarding Jingzhou, Kong Ming once told me the four-character key - attack from the east and from the north."
"When I first guarded Jingzhou, I didn't understand the true meaning. I thought that with my talents, it would be okay even if I became enemies with Sun Quan and Cao Cao one after another.
I also don’t think that Sun Quan will be able to conquer Jingzhou. However, in the battle of Xiangfan the year before last, I almost made a big mistake because of these two ideas of mine."
"As for today's battle between the two armies, if you hadn't severely damaged Jiangdong's vitality and temporarily eliminated the threat on Jingzhou's flanks, the outcome of today's battle would have been unknown."
"Therefore, you must keep these two examples of pros and cons in mind. Jiangdong is not a country that is about to perish, and Sun Quan is not a trustworthy person. You must grasp the sensitivity and proportion here."
After saying these words, Guan Yu's breathing became heavier and heavier.
And some coughing sounds that Guan Yu had deliberately suppressed began to appear in Mi Yang's ears.
When Guan Yu reacted like this, Mi Yang speeded up his horse invisibly.
He wanted to take Guan Yu to the general's mansion in Fancheng as soon as possible.
And Guan Yu seemed to realize that his health was getting worse and worse, so he sped up his tone as if he wanted to say everything at once.
"As for the rebels against Wei, although our army won a great victory in today's battle, the nation against Wei is so powerful that it cannot be destroyed in just one battle.
Therefore, when our army faces the rebellion against Wei in the future, we should not be disdainful and must proceed step by step.
While safeguarding our army's current advantages, we must also continue to attack the national power of Wei.
It is not realistic to destroy Ni Wei in one battle, but if our army can seize the opportunity in the future, we may be able to break up Ni Wei and then eat away at it step by step."
"You must remember what I said to you today."
What Guan Yu is telling Mi Yang now is the strategy he has summarized based on his decades of experience against Wei and Jiangdong.
Although Guan Yu did not use gorgeous rhetoric to embellish his strategy, every sentence he said was based on a detailed analysis of the current situation. Although it was simple, it was full of profoundness.
And Guan Yu informed Mi Yang of the strategies he had summed up over decades of experience, which meant that he was teaching Mi Yang everything he could without any reservation.
Guan Yu's tone contained worries for Ji Han's future, expectations and respect for Mi Yang, and confidence in his own strategy.
All kinds of different emotions converged into Guan Yu's extremely complex tone, and then floated into Mi Yang's ears without missing a word.
Inheritance is not just about ambitions, but also everything about the inheritors.
After Mi Yang heard these words from Guan Yu, even though he tried his best not to show his sadness.
But because of the turbulent emotions in his heart, his back began to shake slightly.
This is a silent cry.
Like a teacher, like a father, and as generous as a mountain, this is the current relationship between Guan Yu and Mi Yang.
And when Guan Yu, who had such a relationship with Mi Yang, said words that were like his last words, how could Mi Yang not feel sad and unable to control himself?
Because Guan Yu's body was slightly leaning on Mi Yang's back, the slight movement of Mi Yang's body was easily felt by Guan Yu.
After Guan Yu sensed the slight movement of Mi Yang's body, his first reaction was that Mi Yang felt a little nervous because of what he said.
After all, although he didn't say much, the amount of information contained in it and the responsibilities and obligations it represented were huge.
No matter how famous Mi Yang was in the world, in Guan Yu's heart, Mi Yang's original identity was always his junior.
What's more, since Mi Yang became his son-in-law, Guan Yu treated Mi Yang as his own son.
In the eyes of Guan Yu, who is a father, it is undoubtedly a bit harsh to hand over such a major responsibility and mission to a young man in his early twenties.
Although he misunderstood Mi Yang's meaning, Guan Yu, like many fathers, had no intention of blaming Mi Yang.
On the contrary, Guan Yu felt pity in his heart.
Guan Yu recalled in his mind that when Mi Yang was young, the dispute between him and Mi Fang had not yet started.
Therefore, in his spare time as a leader, he also taught Mi Yang and other second-generation students.
For example, Mi Yang's imperial skills were taught by Guan Yu.
More than ten years ago, outside Xinye City, when Guan Yu taught the young Mi Yang the art of horse control, Mi Yang, who was getting on a horse for the first time, was nervous and her thin body began to tremble as it does now.
When Guan Yu noticed this, he did not choose to scold Mi Yang. He just stood under the horse and comforted Mi Yang with a rich voice:
"It doesn't matter, we elders will always be by your side to protect you."
It was these words that allowed Mi Yang to regain his composure and try riding a horse for the first time.
To this day, although the child who sat on the horse back then has grown up and is qualified to ride with him.
But in order to comfort Mi Yang, Guan Yu still said to Mi Yang as before:
"It doesn't matter, maybe many elders will gradually leave you in the future."
"But we will always be watching over you where you can't see us, just like we did back then."
Guan Yu's loving words made Mi Yang suddenly pause in his movements, and then he stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes as if he was blinded by the wind and sand.
Some tears cannot be stopped.
Fortunately, Mi Yang had just experienced a battle and his face was covered in blood.
Therefore, unless others look closer, they will not be able to notice that tears have begun to fall down Mi Yang's face.
Although some tears could not be stopped, Mi Yang still remembered Guan Yu's teachings.
He pretended as if nothing had happened and began to drive the horse under his crotch forward.
Now there is only one thought in Mi Yang's mind: she must not let Guan Yu down.
Mi Yang also realized from Guan Yu's words that Guan Yu had misunderstood him.
In order not to worry Guan Yu, Mi Yang said to Guan Yu:
"There are many difficulties in the world, and there is a lot of noise in the world. The woman has fought for the great man for so many years and protected us descendants for so many years.
If you feel tired, just lean on Yang's back and rest for a while."
"Every generation has its own affairs. The world established by the elders will be protected by the younger generation with their lives."
"Only work hard and die."
At this point in time, the words "dedicate one's work to death" have not yet appeared in front of the world.
And this sentence, which can be praised by future generations for thousands of years, has its own unique charm.
Almost everyone who hears this sentence for the first time will be deeply shocked by the loyalty expressed in this sentence.
So when Guan Yu heard Mi Yang's words, his face showed great relief.
If the successor is like this, what regrets does he have?
Because of Mi Yang's words, Guan Yu let go of the last worry in his heart.
Feeling that his body was getting weaker and weaker, he gradually leaned his body on Mi Yang's back.
Although Mi Yang's figure is not as majestic as Guan Yu's, his back is as stiff as Guan Yu's.
So when Guan Yu leaned his body on Mi Yang's back, he felt a sense of solidity lingering in his heart.
Many years ago, a group of second generations learned the art of horse-control from him, leaning closely on his broad shoulders.
But now Zi Sheng, who was skinny back then, can already offer his support and make others rely on him just like him.
This made Guan Yu feel more relaxed.
After a long ride on horseback, Mi Yang finally took Guan Yu to the outside of the general's mansion in Fancheng.
After arriving outside the general's mansion, Mi Yang first let some Han troops enter to detect whether there was an ambush.
After confirming that the general's mansion was safe, Mi Yang originally wanted to remind Guan Yu behind him to enter the mansion.
In other words, Mi Yang wanted to turn around and help Guan Yu off his horse.
But who is Guan Yu?
As an elder, he can take a short rest under the service of the younger generation.
But as a general, he would never allow himself to be helped off his horse.
After realizing that he had arrived inside and outside the General's Mansion, even though his body was in pain, Guan Yu still managed to jump off his horse and strode towards the General's Mansion.
Mi Yang, who was worried about Guan Yu's physical condition, quickly dismounted his horse and followed Guan Yu step by step.
Before entering the General's Mansion, although Guan Yu's steps were a little shaky, he could at least walk normally.
But after entering the general's mansion and realizing that no one else was around, Guan Yu's body began to become more and more shaky.
After walking for a few more steps, he was so exhausted that he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Mi Yang was always paying attention to Guan Yu from behind, so when he saw Guan Yu almost falling, he quickly stepped forward to support Guan Yu's body.
When he felt his shaky body being supported by a pair of strong hands, Guan Yu looked at Mi Yang aside.
Taking advantage of the last moment when he could still maintain a trace of consciousness, Guan Yu held Mi Yang's hand with his backhand and gave him a heavy order:
"Your Majesty, I want to see him."
After saying this, Guan Yu, who felt the pain rushing through his mind, immediately blacked out and fainted in Mi Yang's arms.
Guan Yu's sudden fainting immediately frightened Mi Yang and Guan Yu's personal guards around him.
They had not expected this scene at all, and were horrified and overwhelmed.
But fortunately, Mi Yang was present at the scene.
When Guan Yu fainted, although Mi Yang's face also showed a strong look of anxiety and fear.
But he still kept himself calm and issued several orders quickly in succession.
After Mi Yang's several orders were issued quickly, everyone present barely regained some composure, and began to act in accordance with Mi Yang's orders.
Soon after, in Fancheng, which had just been captured by the Han army, a messenger galloped out quickly, heading towards Xiangyang south of the Han River.
...
At this moment, in Xiangyang City, which is separated from Fancheng by the Han River, Liu Bei was waiting anxiously outside a courtyard.
From the houses in this courtyard, bursts of heart-rending shouts were heard.
And the shouting was coming from Mi Yang's wife Guan Yan.
In the house where Guan Yan was staying, not only could her screams of pain be heard, but there were also many women running in and out of Guan Yan's house one after another.
Liu Bei, who was outside the courtyard, looked at the stable women running back and forth with fear on their faces, and the worry on his face became even deeper.
Early this morning, Liu Bei, who had just woken up, received the news that Guan Yan had started giving birth.
After learning the news, Liu Bei, who was worried about his niece's safety, ignored the dissuasion of others and went outside the courtyard where Guan Yan was to check.
But no matter how worried Liu Bei was about Guan Yan, he was already the emperor now.
In addition, some customs were deeply ingrained and he had to abide by them, so he could only wait outside the courtyard for news.
When Liu Bei came outside Guan Yan's courtyard, he heard bursts of shouts from Guan Yan.
The bursts of shrill shouts made Liu Bei frown deeply.
Due to the poor medical conditions in this world, women are always on the verge of life and death when giving birth.
Of course Liu Bei knew this.
So after sensing that Guan Yan was due to give birth within a few days, he ordered a group of experienced women in Xiangyang City to be brought to Guan Yan's side to guard her.
Liu Bei was originally worried, but now he saw the fearful looks on the faces of those Wen Pos, and his face became even more ugly.
Guan Yu and Mi Yang, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were fighting bloody battles for him on the front line. If something happened to their daughter and wife in the rear, such a result would be unacceptable to Liu Bei, who valued friendship.
What's more, given the relationship between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Liu Bei has already treated Guan Yan as his daughter.
But what Liu Bei didn't know was that the reason why those stable ladies had a look of fear on their faces was not because Guan Yan was in poor delivery condition.
It was entirely because of his presence, the majestic emperor, and the majesty he exuded that frightened them.
After all, although the medical conditions were primitive at the time, Guan Yan was also the daughter of a general.
She has been exercising since she was a child, so she will always be safer than ordinary women when facing the hellish gate of childbirth.
While the anxious Liu Bei was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, a clear baby cry suddenly sounded from Guan Yan's house, and then reached Liu Bei's ears.
After hearing the clear baby cry, the anxious look on Liu Bei's face instantly disappeared, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Soon after, a eunuch in the courtyard hurriedly came to Liu Bei and reported to him: "My wife gave birth to a son for General Zuo."
After hearing this report from the eunuch, Liu Bei's face became even more happy.
Little Champion Hou is born!
And just when Liu Bei showed joy and wanted to send the good news to the front line, the messenger from Fancheng also came to Xiangyang.
