Mi Han

Chapter 242
Sitting on the throne, Liu Bei signaled Dong Yun to bring up the wooden box with his eyes.

Seeing this, Dong Yun immediately stepped forward, stepped up the steps and placed the wooden box in his hand on the table in front of the throne.

After putting down the wooden box, Dong Yun slowly backed down and waited for Liu Bei's further instructions.

It's just that Dong Yun's face is still full of excitement at this time.

Because Mi Yang's battle report was reported to Liu Bei, Dong Yun did not know the specific content of the battle report.

Even because of Liu Bei's intentional secrecy, Dong Yun didn't even know when Mi Yang and Cao Ren fought.

However, he learned from the messenger who had just arrived from Hanxing County that the wooden box he was holding just now contained Cao Ren's head.

Just knowing this is enough to make Dong Yun feel excited.

In terms of ability, Cao Ren is not the highest among the generals of Cao Wei, but after Xiahou Dun's death, Cao Ren's identity and prestige are the highest among the generals of Cao Wei.

Cao Ren, who was the highest ranking person against Wei, died at the hands of his own general. This was like a shot in the arm for all those who followed Liu Bei.

Only now did Dong Yun know why Liu Bei kept him outside Chengdu during this period of time.

Seeing the joyful but not surprised expression on Liu Bei's face, it seems that the Battle of West City, which has been hidden from most people in Chengdu, was conspired by Liu Bei and Mi Yang.

After Dong Yun placed the wooden box in his hand on the king's case in front of him, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to the battle report on the wooden box under the watchful eyes of all the courtiers in the palace.

What Dong Yun said just now when he entered the hall has already fallen into the ears of all the courtiers in the hall.

After learning the news, their faces also showed the same excitement as Dong Yun.

So now they are all looking forward to the content in the battle report.

Liu Bei picked up the battle report on the wooden box, tore off the wax seal on the battle report, and then took out a silk book from it to read carefully.

"In the past, if Xuanyuan was not Zhuolu's teacher, Chiyou's monster would not be destroyed; Tang Yao did not promote the formation of Danshui, and the Nanman's difficulties would not be equal;
If Hanwu did not punish Lu Jia, then Hengpu's statement would not be attached; if Guangwu did not punish the arrogant, the chaos in Longshu would be unclear.

Therefore, the ancient great sage said, "It is not the power to refuse to obey, and it is not the army that is not sure."Cao Pi is a clown, rebellious and violent, with evil intentions, fierce and stubborn.

Yang Fen Wurui, relying on the king's grace, first made a good plan, and followed the sky to punish.

Yang Zong raft attacked the enemy with fire, and the six armies attacked the enemy horizontally with land.The raging fire cut off the enemy's way of life, many pirate ships were destroyed, beheaded and captured, and those who surrendered were blocked with water.

The fierce general Long Xiang, Er Lang Hu Bu, then punished and surrendered [-] rebels to the three armies of Wei, and captured [-] generals who rebelled against the rebels.

The thief general Cao Ren committed suicide in shame, and enshrined his head in front of the king's case.

Today, Yang Yang sails eastward to attack Wudang again, traveling in the clouds and taking advantage of the provocations to make his luck.

The thieves are advancing and retreating, and it is difficult to have reinforcements. If it is not for the collapse of Chuling Qianxi, there will be changes in Peng Chong and Xiaoqiang.The fish will rot, and there will be no more blood.

It is advisable to ask the king to wait for the good news quietly, so as to hear the news at last. "

In the battle report, Mi Yang first briefly introduced the process of the battle.

And after finishing these, the huge results obtained by the Han army in this battle are listed in detail below.

Just the name of the captured General Cao Wei was written on a full page.

Others, such as the specific number of warships, food, ordnance, and soldiers, filled another page.

Liu Bei looked at the rich results, and the joy on his face became more and more intense.

He had guessed that it would be a big victory, but he didn't expect that the result of victory would be so fruitful.

The result of Cao Ren's defeat and death alone was enough to make Liu Bei extremely happy, not to mention the other results of the battle?

After Liu Bei read the contents of the battle report, he could no longer restrain the joy and excitement in his heart, bursts of hearty smiles began to come out of his mouth, and then resounded throughout the hall.

The reason why Liu Bei received the information a few days later than Cao Pi was that besides Liu Bei's intentional blockade of front-line news, there was another reason that Mi Yang was the victor.

The defeated side is full of favors, because of the fear and worry in their hearts, they must desperately send out the battle report as soon as possible.

But as the victor, it would take several days just to clean up the battlefield and count the loot.

Liu Bei has not been this happy for a long time. The last time he was so happy was when Guan Yu achieved the record of flooding the Seventh Army.

Seeing Liu Bei on the throne laugh happily after watching Mi Yang's battle report, all the courtiers in the hall knew that Mi Yang should win a huge victory.

All the courtiers in the main hall paid homage to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty's fate has taken care of you, and I congratulate you for your Majesty!"

Liu Bei was not a person who liked to listen to flattery in the past, but when he heard the congratulations of the officials today, his laughter became louder and louder.

Because of Cao Pi's usurpation of Han and self-reliance before, Liu Bei has always had a backlog of resentment in his heart.

This kind of emotion did not weaken with the passage of time, on the contrary, with the passage of time, this kind of resentment has filled Liu Bei's heart.

This kind of resentment caused by the subjugation of the country cannot be relieved by the comfort of others.

The only thing that can be relieved is a hearty victory.

Now this big victory, Mi Yang, his nephew, gave it to him.

How could this not make Liu Bei feel extremely happy?
And the most important point is that Mi Yang could not achieve this victory without his full support.

If he hadn't used the royal power to block the news, if he hadn't used the royal power to transfer the Hanzhong army to Mi Yang, then Mi Yang would not have been able to complete this victory successfully.

The monarch and his subjects know each other, and the monarch and his subjects have no doubts, which is one of the important reasons why Mi Yang was able to win this big victory.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei suddenly understood why Emperor Xiaowu was so excited after learning of Huo Hussar's victory.

The young general that I raised since childhood won a big victory with my full support. Even a generation of emperors would be immersed in the satisfaction and pride brought by this kind of news.

But indulging is indulging, Liu Bei knows that he can't enjoy this kind of good news to himself.

So Liu Bei immediately ordered: "Quickly call the group of ministers."

Although Liu Bei didn't say what to call the group of ministers for, but Liu Bei issued the king's order with a smile on his face, so the courtiers in the hall understood one after another, and then they each took the order and left.

Not long after, outside the main hall, a bell rang for the summoning of the ministers.

When the bell and drum sounded, all the courtiers who heard the bell had heavy expressions on their faces.

In the past two years, the bells and drums in the palace have sounded twice.

Once because of Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou, and once because of Cao Pi's usurpation of Han and self-reliance.

So after the bells and drums sounded in the past two years, all the announcements were bad news.

Now the bell and drum sounded for the third summoning of the ministers, which gradually cast a layer of gloom on the hearts of the ministers.

Did something bad happen again?

What an eventful year.

Among all the ministers, only Zhuge Liang, who knew Liu Bei and Mi Yang's plan, had expectations in his heart.

But despite the various speculations in the hearts of the ministers, under the call of the loud bell and drum, they all came to the hall very quickly.

When the ministers came to the hall, they saw the joy on Liu Bei's face, which made them feel more at ease.

What I want to discuss today is not bad news.

Seeing that all the ministers had taken their seats, Liu Bei, who was sitting on the throne, immediately asked Dong Yun to stand out from all the ministers.

Dong Yun was holding Mi Yang's battle report in his hand.

Under Liu Bei's signal, Dong Yun started to walk to Mi Zhu's seat with Mi Yang's battle report in hand.

As General An Han, who was above the ministers, as long as Mi Zhu was born in the hall, then his seat must be the closest to Liu Bei.

Just now Liu Bei specifically asked his courtiers to invite Mi Zhu here.

Before and after Dong Yun came to Mi Zhu, with a smile on his face, he handed him the battle report in his hand.

Mi Zhu saw Dong Yun looking at him a little strangely, and he didn't know why for a while.

It's just that Mi Zhu didn't think too much, he took the battle report from Dong Yun's hand and began to read it.

When Mi Zhu's eyes fell on the battle report, he immediately recognized it was his nephew Mi Yang's handwriting.

Although the details of the follow-up battle results were written by Lu Yi, the text content in the battle report was written by Mi Yang himself when he left Xicheng.

Knowing that this battle report was written by Mi Yang, Mi Zhu immediately read it attentively.

Mi Zhu read the battle report very quickly, and he read all the content in the battle report in a short while.

When seeing what Mi Yang wrote, a look of surprise and joy appeared on Mi Zhu's face.

And when Mi Zhu quickly browsed through the details of the results that Lu Yi had sorted out, his expression could no longer be described with surprise and joy.

Can only use incredible.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu, who is good at nourishing Qi, saw this battle report first. If Mi Fang saw it first, he would definitely look ecstatic.

Now Mi Zhu finally understood the meaning of Dong Yuncai's eyes.

Dong Yun was congratulating his nephew for another military exploit. From then on, Mi's prestige in Chengdu was even more extraordinary.

Mi Zhu's expression after reading the battle report caught the eyes of all the ministers in the palace.

Except for Zhuge Liang, all the ministers in the palace had doubts on their faces.

What is it that makes Mi Jun lose his composure?

But then they knew why.

After Mi Zhu finished reading, it was Xu Jing's turn.

Xu Jingruo said that he might be the most famous among the ministers present, but his energy-raising skills were not as good as Mi Zhu's.

After he read Mi Yang's battle report, his first reaction was to suspect that he was old and dim-sighted, and then he quickly read the contents of the battle report in disbelief.

After confirming that the contents of the battle report were correct, Xu Jing looked at the wooden box on King Liu Bei's case.

Because his mind was shocked, he stroked his beard with too much force, almost tearing off a few pale beards.

After Xu Jing, it was Zhuge Liang who took over the battle report and read it.

As the number one hero of Liu Bei's great cause, Zhuge Liang has never seen such a big storm.

Even if he didn't know about the conspiracy between Liu Bei and Mi Yang in advance, then his performance would definitely not be too gaffe.

What's more, he knows now.

So after Zhuge Liang read Mi Yang's battle report, he only had a look of joy on his face.

The young figure who knelt in front of him that night appeared in Zhuge Liang's mind. His slightly tired face was filled with great relief after the joy.

Mi Yang did not disappoint him and Liu Bei.

Most of the ministers who can be called to the palace by Liu Bei are people who have read the scriptures, so they browse the content of the battle report very quickly.

Soon, Mi Yang's battle report had been seen by most of the courtiers in the hall.

After the ministers sitting in the front line read Mi Yang's battle report, although they also showed excitement and excitement, they did not lose their composure.

But when Mi Yang's battle report reached the hands of the rear ministers, the effect was completely different.

Those ministers did not hold much power in their hands, nor did they have a high status in Liu Bei's forces.

Therefore, their psychological endurance must be far inferior to Mi Zhu, Xu Jing, Zhuge Liang and others.

In addition, they are not considered loyal to Liu Bei. In their hearts, they actually think that the Great Wei in the north is the Zhengshuo of China.

So when they knew that Mi Yang had won such a shocking victory, they were greatly shocked in their hearts.

With an army of tens of thousands, Cao Ren, the number one general of Cao Wei, and many veteran generals who became famous early in the north.

Such a luxurious lineup was taken over by Mi Yang. Did Mi Yang get help from the gods?
Sounds of air-conditioning sucking began to appear one after another in the hall, and the faces of many ministers showed great shock.

The news that Mi Yang defeated one hundred thousand Wu troops had already shocked them.

But in the face of the news, they could still comfort themselves in their hearts, because Sun Quan was useless, and if a hundred thousand Wei troops besieged the city, the result might be different.

But what about now?
Didn't Mi Yang resume production in Hanxing County?

When did Cao Ren lead an army to attack Hanxing County?Why did Chengdu not receive the alert?

Then how did Mi Yang defeat Cao Ren all of a sudden?
Under the shocking emotions, an unknown feeling of confusion began to emerge in the hearts of those ministers.

Under unknown circumstances, the shocking effect of Mi Yang's battle on them was even stronger.

Compared with Liu Bei's confidant ministers in the palace who were mainly joyful and excited, the shocking emotions in the hearts of these ministers were far greater than the joy in their hearts.

In the main hall, such ministers occupy the majority, and their reactions will also represent the reactions of most people in the world.

Sitting on the throne, Liu Bei had a panoramic view of the expressions and expressions of the officials in the hall.

In fact, it is undoubtedly faster for Dong Yun to directly read out the content of the battle report than to let the officials in the palace watch Mi Yang's battle report one by one.

But Liu Bei had two intentions in doing so.

The first level of intention is: if Dong Yun directly read the content of the battle report, although it would be faster, but he has no way to use the brilliant results in the battle report to observe the specific reactions of the officials in the palace.

Observing his appearance and knowing his heart is a necessary means for being a king.

Only by observing these further can it be beneficial to the next thing he will do.

As for the second level of intention, this way of passing the battle reports one by one to the officials can bring more intuitive and impactful effects to the officials.

Zisheng has made such great contributions to him, how could his uncle not let his merits and prestige be better spread?
After seeing the expressions of excitement and shock on the faces of all the officials in the palace, Liu Bei also showed a sense of pride on his face.

He asked the ministers in the hall: "He Xie, General of the Lonely Han!"
