Mi Han

Chapter 157
Just a few days after Zhang Fei left with his army, a messenger from Jiangling city rushed into the Hanshui camp.

After Liu Bei received the urgent report from the rider, he was shocked and immediately ordered someone to call for Mi Yang.

Fazheng is critically ill!
After summoning Mi Yang, Liu Bei entrusted all the military affairs in the Hanshui camp to Guan Yu, and then he led his own army and Mi Yang out of the Hanshui camp and galloped towards Jiangling City.

After hearing that Liu Bei summoned him so anxiously because Fazheng was critically ill, Mi Yang was also very anxious.

From the memory of the original body, it can be known that Fazheng and the original master are masters and apprentices in the true sense.

Because of his special status, the original body had many mentor-student friendships with him since he was a child.

For example, Liu Bei taught him to learn to forgive and trust.

Zhuge Liang, for example, taught him political strategy and the overall situation.

For example, Zhang Fei's uncles taught him riding and archery and martial arts.

But neither they nor Mi Yang have the status of real masters and apprentices.

Only Fazheng is Mi Yang's benefactor who has the ritual of worshiping a teacher.

And in the past days in Chengdu, although Fazheng seldom praised Mi Yang, when it came to teaching, he didn't hide his personal interests at all, and taught him everything.

Although Fazheng's feelings for Mi Yang are relatively reserved, but Mi Yang can feel that Fazheng loves him very much and cares about him very much.

It can be said that without Fazheng's inculcation in the past, there would be no great victory in the first battle of Miyang Public Security.

For such an elder who is also a teacher and a father, how can Mi Yang feel indifferent to his safety?

Because they were worried about Fazheng's illness, Liu Bei and Mi Yang traveled very fast, and within three days, they had already arrived outside Jiangling City.

Seeing that Liu Bei and others had returned in person, the captain of Jiangling city guard quickly opened the city gate and let Liu Bei and others enter the city.

After entering the city, Liu Bei, Mi Yang and others rushed to the prefect's mansion anxiously.

Outside the prefect's mansion, Liu Bei saw the king's car he left for Fazheng.

When he set off from central Shu, Liu Bei specially gave Fazheng his king's car because he was concerned about Fazheng's illness.

Seeing Wang Jia, Liu Bei remembered the situation when Fazheng planned for him in Wang Jia.

Thinking of this past event, Liu Bei's eyes turned red.

The huge Wang Jia is still majestic, but the confidant among them is already dying.

After Liu Bei and Mi Yang got off their horses, they walked quickly into the prefect's mansion.

Mi Fang had been waiting at the gate of the prefect's mansion for a long time. When he saw Liu Bei and Mi Yang returning, he immediately led the way for Liu Bei and Mi Yang, and took them to Fazheng's bedroom.

Fazheng just arrived in Jiangling City not long ago.

After Fazheng arrived in Jiangling City, he heard the news that Mi Yang's public security had won and that Liu Bei and Cao Cao had signed the "Han River Treaty".

After hearing these two pieces of news, Fazheng, who had been concerned about the safety of Jingzhou, could no longer support the pain in his body, and fell ill in the prefect's mansion.

Mi Fang led Liu Bei and Mi Yang to a secluded courtyard after passing through several corridors.

Seeing that he had already arrived outside Fazheng's courtyard, Liu Bei couldn't hold back his inner anxiety anymore, pushed open the courtyard door and walked to Fazheng's bedroom.

After Mi Yang paid respects to Mi Fang, he followed Liu Bei into Fazheng's bedroom.

Outside Fazheng's dormitory, there were many doctors coming in and out. They were all famous doctors from Jingzhou generation, and some of them were even famous doctors from Shuzhong brought by Liu Bei from Chengdu.

But seeing them whispering each other, with worried expressions on their faces, Mi Yang's heart tightened.

It seems that the situation of Fa-rectification has reached a very critical point.

Mi Yang could see it, so naturally Liu Bei could see it too.

As soon as Liu Bei entered Fazheng's bedroom, he saw the thin Fazheng lying on the bed.

In the entire room, half of the room was dispelling the cold with a charcoal stove, and the other half was brewing soup.

Liu Bei came to the bed and saw that Fazheng's eyes were closed tightly, his face was like gold paper, and his expression was sluggish. The tears in his eyes fell down uncontrollably.

Back then when he was in Gong'an, he was afraid of Duke Cao's strength in the north, Sun Quan's oppression in the east, and Mrs. Sun's death at the elbow;

It is the law that is appearing in his life, supporting him, making him soar, cannot be copied, and will eventually be the hero he is today.

But it is such a confidant who is very important to him, but his life is hanging by a thread on the bed today, which makes Liu Bei, who has always been affectionate, feel sad.

And after Mi Yang entered the door, he also saw Fa Zhengqi like a gossamer.

His heart was sore, his eyes were also red, and he knelt down in front of Fazheng's bed.

"Teacher, disciple Yang is back."

Mi Yang bowed his head and whispered under Fazheng's bed.

At this time, Liu Bei looked at a doctor who was still in Fazheng's dormitory. This doctor was Liu Bei's personal physician. He knew Liu Bei, so when he saw Liu Bei, he immediately fell to his knees in fright.

Liu Bei ordered the imperial doctor to get up, and then asked him in a caring and anxious tone, "How is Shang Shuling's condition?"

Seeing Liu Bei ask about Fazheng's condition, a look of helplessness appeared on the face of the white-haired imperial doctor.

He replied: "Shang Shuling's illness this time is not caused by a cold, but the pulse is a relapse of an old disease."

"The old disease has persisted for a long time and has not been eradicated."

"After a long delay, once it breaks out, all the symptoms will come together, and it will be difficult to treat with acupuncture and moxibustion."

Liu Bei has always been benevolent, so the imperial doctor was not worried that Liu Bei would be unhappy if he reported his condition truthfully.

After listening to what the imperial doctor said, a look of grief appeared on Liu Bei's face. He closed his eyes and couldn't bear it. Heartbroken, he stepped on the ground several times with his feet.

The sky is so unkind, it wants to take away its mastermind.

This imperial doctor is already a generation of famous doctors in Sichuan and the best in traditional Chinese medicine.

And since this imperial doctor dared to say this in front of Liu Bei, it must be the result of discussions with many famous doctors.

After consultation with so many famous doctors, the conclusion reached is basically irreversible.

After hearing what the imperial doctor said, Mi Yang was already crying in front of Fazheng's bed.

This crying is not only a way of mourning the suffering of Dharma Zhengzheng's body, but also expressing gratitude for the kindness of Dharma Zhengzheng's preaching and imparting karma.

Fazheng, who was seriously ill, had a light sleep, and the news of Liu Bei and Mi Yang's arrival woke him up.

Fazheng opened his heavy eyelids, and saw a person in front of the couch who was bowing his head and weeping, and he recognized this person as his beloved disciple Mi Yang.

Fazheng's face was happy at first, and then he put on a tone of teaching Mi Yang and said: "You are also a general now, how can you cry freely."

When Fazheng's weak tone reached the ears of Mi Yang and Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Mi Yang were overjoyed to see Fazheng wake up and turn around.

Mi Yang hurriedly wiped away his tears, moved his body forward, held Fazheng's left hand tightly, and asked with concern, "Is the teacher feeling better?"

Fazheng saw that there were still tears on Mi Yang's face, and a trace of resentment appeared on his weak face.

How can he, a righteous person, cry at every turn?

But even though he thought so in his heart, Fazheng still couldn't help but lift his right hand with effort, and then gently wiped away the tears on his face for Mi Yang.

"How many times have I taught you, don't always be emotional, kindness does not lead soldiers."

Facing Fazheng's lessons, Mi Yang humbly accepts them all.

But he couldn't help being sad.

The memory of the original owner is constantly washing over Mi Yang, and scenes from the memory appear in Mi Yang's mind.

When Mi Yang clashed with Yizhou celebrities, it was Fazheng who stood behind him and defended him selflessly and firmly.

When Mi Yang was sleepy after studying the scriptures late at night, it was Fazheng who stayed up late at night and gently covered him with clothes.

When Mi Yang had doubts about his studies, it was Fazheng who taunted him while unreservedly resolving them.

Everyone in the world now knows that Mi Yang is a disciple of Fazheng, who has gained the strength of Fazheng's military strategy.

But they all forgot one thing, Fazheng is from a famous family.

It was he who taught Mi Yang unreservedly the family scriptures, so that Mi Yang jumped into the ranks of scholars.

It made up for Mi Yang's biggest shortcoming.

Maybe Mi Yang's soul came from later generations, but he inherited this body, so he has to bear all the responsibilities of this body, including Fazheng's great kindness to him.

After wiping away tears for Mi Yang, Fazheng looked at Liu Bei, and said apologetically:
"I originally wanted to raise the whip in Jingzhou together with the king and defeat the powerful enemy, but I was tired of illness and couldn't serve the king anymore."

Hearing what Fazheng said, Liu Bei resisted the urge to shed tears, and he said to Fazheng loudly:
"Xiao Zhi only needs to take good care of his body, and when he recovers in the next day, you and I, the monarch and the minister, will leap northward together and regain Guanzhong."

Liu Bei's words made Fazheng's eyes light up, and he looked forward to such a scene very much.

Guanzhong is his hometown.

But then the light in his eyes quickly disappeared.

Fazheng said in a sad tone: "I really want that day to come, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."

Hearing Fazheng's words, Liu Bei could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.

But he still comforted him and said: "There are many famous doctors in the world, Xiaozhi doesn't need to worry too much, you will recover."

A wry smile appeared on Fazheng's face, and he said to Liu Bei: "When the world was in chaos, Zidu and I went to Shu for refuge together."

"My illness was contracted at that time."

"Because of being displaced, I have never had the opportunity to find a famous doctor for treatment, and this is the root cause of the disease."

"Later when I went to Jingzhou as an envoy for Liu Zhang, I visited the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing and asked him to treat me."

"It's a pity that although Zhongjing's medical skills are superb, there is no way to deal with my old illness."

"It can only be used to take care of my body."

"Under his care, I am lucky to have survived the year of knowing my destiny, why bother to ask for more life."

Fazheng's words made both Liu Bei and Mi Yang's eyes dim.

It turned out that Fazheng had known about his illness for a long time, and had already made the plan to die.

Also, how could someone as smart as him not understand his own body?

Fazheng saw that Liu Bei and Mi Yang both looked sad because of his words, he laughed on the couch and said, "Everyone is mortal, so why be sad! Why should you sigh!"

Perhaps because he could see Liu Bei and Mi Yang before he died, Ling Fazheng was in a good mood, and his mental state also improved a bit.

He asked Mi Yang to help him up, then he leaned on Mi Yang's shoulder, and said to Liu Bei and Mi Yang:
"A man is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his ambition will not be rewarded before death."

"I have three hates in my life."

"I hate that I have been unsuccessful for many years, so that I have wasted all I have learned."

"Second hate is mediocre, unable to inherit what I have learned."

"When the three hates were young, their families were separated and they left their homes."

After talking about the three hates, Fazheng said with joy on his face, "But I also have two joys in my life."

"It is a joy to meet a master of great talent and general plan, so that I can put all my knowledge into use."

When he said this, Fazheng looked at Liu Bei.

"Er is happy to have a good student, who can inherit what I have learned, so that I will not regret it for the rest of my life."

When saying this, Fazheng looked at Mi Yang.

"Because of the two joys, there is only one hatred left in my life. I originally wanted to heal this hatred in person when the king made the Northern Expedition in the future, but I can't think about it now."

Then Fazheng looked at Mi Yang and said to him: "Although I can't do this, I still have good disciples.

"In the first battle of the public security, what Zisheng did, as a teacher, made you proud."

"If Zisheng can be the pioneer of the Northern Expedition in the future and conquer Guanzhong, he must remember to set up a sacrifice and tell his teacher about it before his grave.

Then he will move the bones of the teacher back to Guanzhong, and then he will have no regrets in his life as a teacher. "

Having said that, Fazheng patted Mi Yang's hand lightly with his weak hands, hoping that he would not forget about it.

Facing Fazheng's last words of entrustment, Mi Yang was already sobbing, and just nodded in agreement.

After entrusting Mi Yang, Fazheng looked at Liu Bei and said to him, "Cao Cao is powerful, so he can't do anything for a while, but it is a good strategy to stop fighting for the time being."

"As the saying goes, those who want to consolidate the southeast must fight for Jianghan.

Those who want to glimpse the Central Plains must go to Huaisi.

If there is Jianghan but no Huaisi, the country will be weak; if there is Huaisi but no upper reaches of Jianghan, the country will be in danger. "

"There are many talented people in Jiangdong, so they naturally know this."

"Therefore, the king must guard against Jiangdong Sun Quan in the future."

"In the first battle of Public Security, Jiangdong was rich and prosperous. Although there were no casualties, their strength should not be underestimated."

"Jingzhou's mountains and rivers are dangerous and solid, and it has been known as the hero since ancient times. The Central Plains is a place that must be contested."

"Among the counties in Jingzhou, the Yangtze River is the main artery, and if you want to keep Jingzhou safe, Jiangxia is the most important."

"The shape of Jingzhou is superior, because the situation is different, and the emphasis is different.

In the words of the world, if the king wants to make a northern expedition in the future, Jingzhou will focus on Xiangyang;

In terms of stabilizing the southeast half, the key point of Jingzhou lies in Jiangxia;”

"Your Majesty, before the Northern Expedition in the future, if it is for the sake of Wanan, the Jingnan two counties need not be too persistent. They can control Jiangxia, which is the throat of the Yangtze River. Your Majesty must unify them."

"Once Jiangxia is captured by the king, all the key places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be under the control of the king. At that time, Jingnan will be terrified, and Huaisi will be seen."

After Fazheng finished speaking, because his mind was disturbed, he couldn't help coughing violently.

Seeing this, Liu Bei stopped Fazheng and continued speaking.

An unbearable expression appeared on his face.

Fazheng has reached the moment when his life is hanging by a thread, yet he is still thinking about his great cause.

After Fazheng finished the above words, he had also finished what he had said to Liu Bei.

Then he looked at Mi Yang and ordered Mi Yang to take out something from under his pillow.

Mi Yang followed the order, and saw that he reached under Fazheng's pillow and found a booklet.
