Chapter 335: One victory and one defeat Zhang Wen arrives
After Sima Yi and Zhang He realized this, many Han generals soon understood Mi Yang's true intention.
Smiles appeared on their faces.
Wei Jun wanted to take Xiahou Shang and others back in advance to avoid further humiliation for them.
But how could Mi Yang let Wei Jun get his wish so easily?
It is true that because the Wei army had cavalry, it was impossible for the Han army to go ashore to stop their actions.
But Mi Yang, who has always been good at grasping situations, has his own methods.
Everyone knows how eager the Wei army is to take back Xiahou Shang and others, and everyone also knows how important Xiahou Shang and others are to the Wei army.
In this case, Mi Yang tightly grasped Wei Jun's seven inches to prevent them from moving!
As long as Xiahou Shang does not run out of the Han army's range for a moment, even if the Wei army mobilizes tens of thousands more cavalry, even if Cao Pi is here now.
They could only watch as Xia Houshang and others continued to run towards them with great humiliation.
And if this is the case, aren't the tens of thousands of Wei troops outside Jiyang City also being bullied by the Han army?
Although the Wei army was more numerous than the Han army, and even though the Wei army had famous generals such as Zhang He, they were intimidated by Mi Yang's arrow, and none of their soldiers, horses or cavalry dared to move.
Tens of thousands of Wei troops armed with fortified weapons, tens of thousands of Wei troops who were determined to protect the territory, did not even dare to step forward to take back their own generals and relatives. How ridiculous this is.
And Mi Yang can scare thousands of troops with one arrow, what kind of method is this.
Mi Yang, holding a long bow in his hand, and his heroic and erect figure were deeply reflected in the eyes of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
All the generals on the boat looked at Mi Yang's upright figure, and felt a huge sense of pride in their hearts.
This is the governor they are willing to die for!
Meng Da, one of the Han generals, looked at Mi Yang's figure with an excited look on his face.
Compared to Mi Yang's behavior today, what he did that day was as unworthy of mention as a child's play.
This is how a real man should be, this is how a real man should be!
The most unexpected thing is that more than one Han general and soldiers admired Mi Yang's behavior.
There was also a soldier in the Wei army who looked at Mi Yang with eyes full of admiration and fanaticism.
Only such a man deserves to be his master!
By this time, even Xia Houshang and others realized Mi Yang's true intention.
They only felt the burning feeling on their faces getting stronger and stronger, and the humiliation in their hearts almost turned into a raging fire, burning their bodies to pieces.
But despite this, they don't even have the courage to look back at Mi Yang.
There was only one thing they could do now, and that was to run out of the Han army's range as quickly as possible.
A dozen "shameless Han thieves" with naked upper bodies and thorns on their backs kept running towards the tens of thousands of Wei troops.
This highly stimulating scene has already made tens of thousands of Wei soldiers feel dumbfounded and ashamed.
What's even more unbearable is that due to the anxiety in their hearts and their hands being restrained, Xia Houshang and others fell down from time to time while running.
This scene made the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, Xia Houshang and others feel burning pain on their faces.
But when this scene fell in the eyes of the Han army prisoners who had just returned, it made them feel very excited.
Even the resentment they had accumulated in their hearts over the past ten years has been relieved a lot.
The hundreds of Han prisoners of war who were under the building boat looked at the top of the building boat with grateful eyes.
The kindness they receive today will be repaid in the future.
What Mi Yang didn't know was that because of his actions today, he had unintentionally lost the favor of hundreds of "big Han clan members".
As for Sima Yi, he had silently closed his eyes at this time.
He knew that Mi Yang would do this, most likely because of the Wei army's insult to the Han prisoners just now.
So what if we just know it now?
At this moment, Sima Yi really wanted to do something to change everything, but with Mi Yang holding him back, all he could do in the end was sigh endlessly.
Fortunately, the Han army's effective range is always limited.
After Xiahou Shang and others ran hundreds of steps in panic, Zhang He immediately led the cavalry behind him towards Xiahou Shang and others.
At this time, Xiahou Shang and others were very close to the cavalry led by Zhang He, so the cavalry led by Zhang He quickly received Xiahou Shang and others.
After receiving Xiahou Shang and others, Zhang He immediately took off his cloak and covered Xiahou Shang's back.
The general behind him also followed the same example, taking off his cloak and covering it with Man Chong and others.
But the current actions of Zhang He and the Wei generals are full of self-deception.
All face has been lost.
As for Xia Houshang and others, after they were picked up, Man Chong and most of the other Wei generals were so angry that they fainted due to the humiliation in their hearts.
Only Xia Houshang looked back with a pair of eyes full of hatred.
But before Xiahou Shang could watch the rear for a long time, Sima Yi immediately issued an order to retreat after learning that Zhang He had received Xiahou Shang and others.
Outside Jiyang City, he didn't want to stay any longer.
Not only Sima Yi thought so, but also tens of thousands of Wei troops.
Therefore, after Sima Yi issued the order to withdraw, tens of thousands of Wei troops hurriedly retreated towards the rear under the command.
The retreat of tens of thousands of Wei troops was rapid and somewhat chaotic, and what was visible to the naked eye was that their current mental state was very bad.
It was like having just fought a huge defeat.
Even the tens of thousands of Wei troops could not imagine how much ridicule they would suffer from the world after what happened today spreads.
After tens of thousands of Wei troops began to retreat, even if Xiahou Shang hated Mi Yang, he could only retreat with the large army first.
When Mi Yang, who was standing high on the ship, saw the Wei army on the shore beginning to retreat, he also issued an order to withdraw.
But compared to the frustration of the Wei army, thousands of Han troops returned in their ships one by one, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
A winner should have the attitude of a winner.
After Mi Yang set sail, he came to Liu Bei's two daughters.
Under Mi Yang's actions, the grievances in the hearts of Liu Bei's two daughters have been reduced a lot, and now there is a faint warmth flowing in their hearts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So before Mi Yang came to them, these two Han princesses took the initiative to salute Mi Yang, the courtier.
But because they did not receive a good education since they were young, the salutes of these two Han princesses seemed very jerky.
Their performance made Mi Yang feel a little distressed.
They are not only the daughters of Liu Bei, but also the children of Mi Yang's aunt "Empress Zhang Xian". Mi Yang is their biological cousin according to blood relationship.
After his two cousins were captured by the Wei army, it was widely rumored that they were later adopted as concubines by Cao Chun, but now it seems that these are just rumors.
After Mi Yang slightly avoided the courtesy given to him by the two princesses, he called Zhou Tai.
After Zhou Tai came to his side, Mi Yang gave him a task.
This mission is to wait for the army to return to Xinye, he does not need to stop, and continues to lead a part of the Han army and the two princesses to continue southward.
At this time, the identities of the hundreds of Han prisoners have not been finally confirmed, but the identities of the others are easy to ask, but the identities of these two princesses are not easy to confirm.
Even if their identities have not been confirmed, they can only be checked and verified by Liu Bei himself.
Therefore, the best way for these two princesses is to send them directly to Xiangyang.
As for whether Liu Bei could tell whether the two princesses were real or fake, Mi Yang didn't worry much.
Let’s not mention that Liu Bei is their biological father. Let’s talk about Liu Bei’s eyes that are good at recognizing people. It is difficult for anyone in the world to hide under his scrutiny.
After arranging this matter, Mi Yang returned to the attic on the boat alone.
With the conclusion of the prisoner exchange between the two armies, his return to Yibei is approaching.
Not long ago, Mi Yang received a letter from Li Yan.
In the letter, Li Yan told Mi Yang that he would arrive in Xinye in the next few days, and asked Mi Yang to be prepared to hand over government affairs.
Once Mi Yang returns to Yibei, it will be time for him to launch a series of reforms.
The biggest shortcoming of the Han army should not be completely changed, but at least it needs to be improved to a certain extent.
Otherwise, the Han army will suffer heavy losses during the massive Northern Expedition in the future.
...
Just when Mi Yang was thinking about sending the two princesses to Xiangyang, Liu Bei in Xiangyang City was busy with a big event.
The messenger from Jiangdong has arrived.
According to common sense, Zhang Wen had to wait for a large number of tributes to be collected before setting off.
But Sun Quan, who had always been good at snooping for information, became suspicious again after learning that Liu Bei was doing a prisoner exchange deal with Cao Pi.
He suspected that Liu Bei's move had a special meaning.
Feeling uneasy in his heart, the great Han Taiwei Sun Quan couldn't wait any longer.
Without waiting for all the rare and exotic animals to be prepared, Sun Quan immediately appointed Zhang Wen as the Fuyi Zhonglang General and asked him to take some of the rare and exotic animals to quickly go to Xiangyang City to meet Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei learned about this, although he was not interested in the large number of rare and exotic animals presented by Sun Quan, he could not refuse Sun Quan's loyalty directly.
Today's big Han still needs Sun Quan to keep him safe.
Therefore, Liu Bei could only choose to meet Zhang Wen on a high platform in Xiangyang City.
Because he valued his relationship with Jiangdong, when Liu Bei met with Zhang Wen and other envoys from Jiangdong, he specially summoned a group of ministers to accompany him.
Even Sun Quan's son Sun Deng in Jingzhou was also present.
After everyone on both sides was seated, under Zhang Wen's arrangement, the rare and rare animals that Sun Quan had paid tribute were placed under the high platform for Liu Bei and all the Han officials to watch.
Although due to the rush of time, many tributes did not have time to be delivered to Yong'an.
However, under Sun Quan's strict orders, Zhang Wen brought many tributes this time.
There are all kinds of shells, pearls, ivory, rhinoceros horns, tortoise shells, etc., a dazzling array.
Sun Quan even asked Zhang Wen to bring another 100 baskets of pearls and 20,000 kilograms of gold as tribute before Zhang Wenlin set out.
Now those things that are regarded as priceless treasures by the world are all displayed below, attracting the attention of many Han Dynasty officials.
Jiangdong is rich and prosperous, and its reputation is well-deserved.
But as the Han Emperor, Liu Bei had little interest in those rare treasures.
Instead of giving him those, it's better to donate some talents.
However, Liu Bei also knew Sun Quan's purpose in letting Zhang Wen send him as an envoy with such generous gifts.
So Liu Bei started to feel tempted at this time.
Liu Bei first looked at Zhang Wen and asked: "How is the Taiwei's health lately?"
Although Sun Quan is more than 20 years younger than Liu Bei, Sun Quan, who is over 40 this year, can be regarded as an out-and-out old man in this world.
Faced with Liu Bei's inquiry, Zhang Wen bowed solemnly and replied: "The Taiwei has always been in good health. Your Majesty does not need to worry."
Seeing what Zhang Wen said, Liu Bei glanced at Sun Deng inadvertently, then he fixed his eyes on Zhang Wen and said gently:
"I have lived in the southwest for a long time, and I have heard of the gentleman Hui Shu."
Seeing Liu Bei suddenly praising him, Zhang Wen did not show any look of pride on his face. He just modestly raised his hands and said:
"I hope my humble reputation will not hinder His Majesty's wisdom."
Zhang Wen's answer made Liu Bei nod slightly.
But then he suddenly changed his tone and asked Zhang Wendao: "There has been a disaster in Yizhou recently. Some ministers said that this was because of the injustice entrusted by the three ministers of the dynasty. What do Huishu think of this?"
When Liu Bei asked this question, although his tone was still easy-going, the content of his question set off alarm bells in Zhang Wen's heart.
In the Western Han Dynasty, whenever there was a disaster in the world, people thought it was because the emperor had lost his virtue, and the emperor was often responsible for it.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the Three Dukes was greatly reduced, but their status was still transcendent. Therefore, whenever there was a disaster in the world, the Three Dukes gradually became the ones responsible for the disaster.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, many of the Three Dukes were "deposed due to disasters."
At present, the only three princes among the Han Dynasty are Sun Quan and Xu Jing.
With this political tradition, and the fact that Liu Bei suddenly said this to Zhang Wen, it was obvious that his subtext was to tell Zhang Wen that he intended to remove Sun Quan from the post of Taiwei.
It is well known to everyone in the world that Sun Quan was named Liu Bei's minister, but in fact he was in alliance with Liu Bei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Quan’s official position as Taiwei of the Han Dynasty is in the name of maintaining this alliance.
Now that Liu Bei has expressed his intention to remove Sun Quan from the post of Taiwei, he is essentially telling Zhang Wen that he intends to use troops against Jiangdong.
But how can this be done?
After understanding the deep meaning of Liu Bei's words, Zhang Wen immediately bowed to Liu Bei from his seat and said:
"This is inappropriate."
Seeing what Zhang Wen said, Liu Bei didn't comment, so he asked again:
"Where can I see it?"
Zhang Wen replied: "Because the Taiwei is a smart, benevolent and loyal minister."
As soon as Zhang Wen's answer came out, not only Liu Bei's face showed a smile, but also the faces of the nearby Han officials also showed playful smiles.
It's just that Liu Bei's probing intention will not be resolved by Zhang Wen so easily.
Liu Bei asked Zhang Wen with doubts in his voice: "How can Sun Zhongmou deserve this honor?"
Faced with Liu Bei's question, Zhang Wen bowed his hands and replied respectfully:
"The Taiwei used Zhou Yu to deal with dangers, which was his cleverness; he rescued Lu Su from ordinary people, which was his wisdom;
It is benevolence to calm the clan without harming it; it is wisdom to resolve the hatred between Gan Ning and Ling Tong.
Bowing oneself to His Majesty’s Heavenly Majesty is one’s loyalty. Taking possession of Jiangdong and exceeding the regulations and paying tribute is one’s sincerity;
Judging from this, wouldn’t he be a wise, benevolent, and loyal minister?”
After hearing Zhang Wen's words, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Although Zhang Wen meant to speak favorably for Sun Quan in his words, he showed that Sun Quan was extraordinary and asked Liu Bei not to underestimate him.
But in his words, he always showed Sun Quan's obedience to the Han Dynasty today, so that others would not be afraid of him because of his good words for Sun Quan. It can be said that he took care of both.
But Zhang Wen might be able to hide his words from others, but how could he hide them from Liu Bei?
