Mi Han

Chapter 323 Zhongda's rise is both a mourning and a call
A luxury is a luxury after all.

Just like what he had experienced many times in the past, Zhang Yun once again tasted an emotion called extreme disappointment from the Patriarch of the Cao family.

No matter how good a strategy he presents, no matter how good a strategy he has, it is a pity that he will always lack something called trust.

After a deep disappointment flashed in his heart, nothing unusual appeared on Zhang Yun's face.

He just bent his body lower, which means he accepted Cao Pi's arrangement unconditionally.

It's like when Cao Cao deprived him of his military power for no reason when he was obviously a great hero who defended Hanzhong during the Battle of Hanzhong.

It's just that Cao Pi doesn't care what Zhang Xi is thinking, he thinks that his arrangement today is very thoughtful.

Cao Pi knew that Zhang Xi was very talented, but he lacked the capital to be trusted.

On the contrary, although Sima Yi has not made any military exploits so far, he has fully demonstrated his excellent military strategy in previous discussions.

What Sima Yi currently lacks is only actual combat experience.

Letting Zhang He, who has extremely rich experience in the army, become Sima Yi's deputy is enough for Sima Yi to make up for his shortcomings.

Most importantly, Sima Yi is someone worthy of Cao Pi's trust.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi expectantly.

After Sima Yi saw Cao Pi looking expectantly at him, he also bowed to Cao Pi at the right time.

Under Sima Yi's obeisance, Cao Pi immediately announced his latest appointment to Sima Yi.

"Proposal to recruit: add the title of minister, governor, and Yushi Zhongcheng Sima Yi as a servant, the minister's right servant shoot, general Annan, and the military governor of Jingzhou during the festival."

When this grand reward came out of Cao Pi's mouth, not to mention Sima Yi himself, even Jiang Ji and other ministers present showed expressions of surprise.

A servant is a close minister of the emperor, and most of those who can hold this official position are the confidantes of the emperor.

And because the highest central institution of Cao Wei is Shangshutai, the post of Shangshu Youpushe can almost be regarded as a sub-prime with no real name.

The political power held by Shangshu Youpushe is only under the emperor Cao Pi and Chen Jiao.

If it is said that such a reward is a normal promotion to Sima Yi's previous official position.

Then the two rewards of General Annan and the military governors of Jingzhou sent out an extremely important signal.

That is the minister with a foreign surname, and he has officially taken control of the frontier military power!

And this point has always been exclusive to the clans of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Just like when Cao Ren was still there, even though the transportation was inconvenient, he was able to supervise the military of Yi, Jing, and Yang in Wancheng at the same time.

Regardless of the fact that General Annan's rank is not high among Cao Wei's high-ranking officials, he is even lower than Zhang He's left general, and Zhang He also has the right to fake festivals.

However, in Cao Wei's military system, the symbol of the local military leader is always the word "dudu".

Only when the real military governor is in charge of one side's military, it means that the minister is the top military and political leader of the locality.

It was impossible to grant such power to ministers with different surnames in previous years.

This kind of power is something that Zhang Liao and Xu Huang can't ask for even at the expense of their lives.

It's just that such power is now easily obtained by Sima Yi.

That's why when the ministers heard Cao Pi's appointment to Sima Yi, surprise appeared on their faces.

Compared with the astonishment of Jiang Ji, Liu Ye and other ministers, Zhang Yun showed a deep envy towards Sima Yi in his eyes.

As for Sima Yi himself, after hearing Cao Pi's reward for him, his first reaction was to refuse it.

It is true that Cao Pi had communicated with him before, and revealed in his words that he would be the top leader in Jingzhou.

But originally Sima Yi only thought that Cao Pi would appoint him as the Jingzhou Guard, and use the guard to achieve the purpose of controlling Zhang He.

Sima Yi never expected that Cao Pi would grant him the power of governor.

The current Sima Yi has no future ambitions.

At present, he only wants to assist Cao Pi well, whether in public or private, he will definitely refuse Cao Pi's reward.

But facing Sima Yi's refusal, Cao Pi held Sima Yi's hand and said:
"I deal with state affairs day and night, without a moment's rest, because I am afraid of disappointing the expectations of my subjects in the world.

Now canonizing you is not to give you honor, but to share my worries for you. "

After hearing what Cao Pi said, Sima Yi saw that Cao Pi's words were firm, so he stopped giving in.

Faced with Cao Pi's incomparable trust in him, Sima Yi's face showed a strong expression of gratitude.

He bowed deeply to Cao Pi, and then said: "I will live up to your Majesty's high expectations. If I have a minister, I swear that I will not let the bandit army cross Wancheng."

Although Sima Yi was born as a scholar of orthodox Confucianism, he carried a vaguely eagle-like air about him.

So when he said this promise, Cao Pi felt an inexplicable peace of mind.

During the dialogue between Cao Pi and Sima Yi, Zhongshu Ling Sun Zi, who had been by Cao Pi's side all the time, had already polished the edict of rewards for Sima Yi and Zhang Xi.

When Sun Zi presented the edict of rewards to Cao Pi for a preview, Cao Pi personally lifted the Jade Seal of Chuanguo from the jade plate in front of him, and then covered the imperial edict on the jade plate without hesitation.

When the sound of the seal being placed on the plate spread throughout the hall, Cao Pi's face was filled with joy.

This cover may really be able to save the already precarious Nanyang County for the Great Wei.

And this cover also made the future history go in a completely unpredictable direction.

The most ironic thing is that Cao Pi, who was the instigator, couldn't see that scene anymore.

Just when Cao Pi was rewarding Sima Yi and Zhang Yun in Wancheng, outside Xiangyang City hundreds of miles away, a grand funeral was being held.

This grand funeral was organized by Liu Bei for Guan Yu.

Long before Liu Bei returned to Xiangyang City with Guan Yu's coffin, his edict had already been conveyed to Ma Liang who was staying in Xiangyang City.

In that edict, Liu Bei clearly pointed out that Ma Liang, the governor of Jingzhou, should follow Huo Guang's story and prepare a set of utensils for the burial of the emperor to hold a funeral for Guan Yu.

When Ma Liang received this edict, he immediately followed Liu Bei's instructions and began to prepare a set of instruments for the emperor's burial.

Because of Ma Liang's preparations, on the day Liu Bei pre-scheduled, the funeral of Han general Guan Yu began as scheduled.

On February 21, the second year of Zhangwu in the Han Dynasty, all the ministers of the Han Dynasty in Xiangyang City, regardless of their status, all changed into plain clothes and arrived outside Xiangyang City one day earlier.

Under the auspices of the minister of mourning appointed by Liu Bei, Shizhong and Shangshu Deng Zhi, a group of Han officials in plain clothes bowed on both sides of the gate of Xiangyang City, waiting for Guan Yu's coffin to be transported out of the city.

There was a strong sadness on the face of every public minister.

And many ministers and ministers with rich feelings began to sob softly even before Guan Yu's coffin appeared.

Small whimpers slowly gathered together under the traction of the wind, and finally formed a very sad atmosphere, shrouded inside and outside the towering gates of Xiangyang City.

Gongqing is plain, bowing and weeping in mourning. In the past, this was the highest funeral specification exclusive to the emperor.

And under the strong atmosphere of sadness, when the first ray of sunshine appeared outside Xiangyang city, a huge chariot with six horses began to slowly appear in the city gate.

In front of the gigantic carriage, a series of spiritual banners fluttered in the wind, as if attracting Guan Yu's soul to return.

And on top of the car, the yellow car cover that originally belonged to the emperor is covering Guan Yu's Zigong.

The yellow hood of the car looks particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

In addition to these foreign objects that symbolize the great glory, before Guan Yu's body was put into the Zi Palace, his body had already been dressed in golden jade clothes.

Under the driving of the six horses of horses, the speed of the carriage carrying Guan Yuzi Palace is not slow.

When Guan Yu's chariot passed the ministers and came to the front, a group of the emperor's pro-jun Yubayashi Jingqi in plain uniforms and white cloths drove out from both sides of the official road under the leadership of Han Hussar General Ma Chao. .

They silently steered the steeds under their crotches, opening the way for the Zi Palace of General Han behind them.

The sound of thousands of horses stepping heavily on the ground resounded outside Xiangyang City, turning the originally sad atmosphere into solemnity.

And after thousands of Yulin Jingqi began to act, many officials behind Guan Yu's Zigong also took their own steps, following behind Guan Yu's Zigong.

And those who have been following on both sides of Guan Yuzi Palace are Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Fei, the chariot general of the Han Dynasty.

They are burying their brothers as relatives.

Compared with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, who is more emotional, is still in the same state as he was that day, crying all the time.

Listening to Zhang Fei's howl that kept coming from the other side, Liu Bei looked at Zi Gong beside him with sad eyes, and his eyes gradually became moist.

It was only after touching the document in his arms that Liu Bei gradually calmed down.

The document in his arms was Liu Bei's eulogy for Guan Yu, and he must read the contents in the best state in a while.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the funeral procession for Guan Yuzi Palace finally arrived at a place a dozen miles northwest of Xiangyang City.

In ancient times, there were no good conditions for preserving corpses. Under such circumstances, even if Liu Bei wanted to transport Guan Yu's body back to Chengdu for burial, it would not be easy.

In addition, Guan Yu was still the Marquis of Xiangyang of the Han Dynasty, and Xiangyang was Guan Yu's vassal state. If Guan Yu was buried here outside Xiangyang City, it would be a good destination for Guan Yu.

Due to various reasons, Liu Bei was unable to bring Guan Yu back to Chengdu.

But when choosing the burial place for Guan Yu, Liu Bei also carefully considered it.

The reason why I chose to bury Guan Yu in the northwest of Xiangyang City is because the direction of the Han Dynasty's advance is the northwest.

Guan Yu, who was honored on the battlefield and died in the war, if he has a spirit in heaven, he must really want to see the great achievements of the Han army in the northwest in the future.

After Guan Yu's Zi Palace was escorted by thousands of people to the place of burial, Deng Zhi, the Minister of Funeral, commanded a number of strong men to move forward to transport the Zi Palace containing Guan Yu's remains from the cart.

Then Deng Zhi asked those strong men to carry Guan Yu's Zigong, and carefully placed it into the tomb with a wooden coffin in the vertical cave prepared in advance.

And the tomb in the vertical hole has long been arranged according to the rules of yellow intestines.

When Guan Yu's Zi Palace was slowly placed into the tomb under the help of strong men, thousands of people watching this scene burst into tears.

Thousands of people cried out of sincerity or out of etiquette.

But no matter what their original intentions are, their crying at this moment is announcing that Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty, will bid farewell to this world.

At the moment when Guan Yu's Zigong completely fell into the tomb, the wailing of thousands of people reached a climax at once.

At this moment, Liu Bei stepped onto a high altar next to Guan Yu's tomb.

This high altar was built by Ma Liang as an altar for Guan Yu's sacrifice.

Only according to the etiquette, after Guan Yu's tomb was sealed, Liu Bei should step on the altar to offer sacrifices to Guan Yu.

Now that Liu Bei is on the altar, it seems a bit too early.

Liu Bei's unusual behavior instantly attracted the attention of thousands of people in the altar.

At this time, Deng Zhi, who knew what Liu Bei was going to do, immediately asked everyone to stop crying as the minister of mourning.

The moment everyone stopped crying, Liu Bei's feet stepped on the altar.

After coming to the altar, Liu Bei turned to look at the thousands of people under the altar.

Now standing at his feet are the ministers and ministers of the great man, and there are the elites of the great man who have fought in a hundred battles. He wants to read a sacrificial oration dedicated to Guan Yu in front of them.

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Liu Bei took out a silk book from his bosom.

Then he looked at the handwriting that belonged to Mi Yang on the silk book, mustered up his spirit, and read out the content in his eyes word by word.

"Booming faintly, like thunder and thunder, tigers roar and the wind grows in the valley, and clouds rise in response to the dragon's leap.

My great general is smart and martial, broad-minded and virtuous, he always has righteousness in mind, and he is proud to kill the bandit army.

During the Jian'an period, the general bowed to his armor and stayed in Jingxiang for a long time. He was tired of the wind and rain, so he rose up to strengthen the Chu army and asked the north where the late emperor was.

[-] brigades, boats and ships as an army, breath, the Han and Jiang will stop flowing, and if they are powerful, Xiang and Fan will extricate themselves.

If you attack the city with this method, no city will fall into it; if you attack the formation with this method, no formation will be destroyed!
For example, it is like pouring into the sea to fill the remnants of the young, and lifting the Kunlun to crush the small eggs.Drums marching forward, all ways are ahead, Cao Ren's life hangs in the balance, Cao Cao is terrified.

During the reign of Zhang Wu, Cao Pi was a traitor, falsely claiming the number of days, daring to reject righteous soldiers, and driving away ugly people. There were [-] people, who came to Wan from Luo, so they came to see me off.

Liao and others help Pi to abuse, ignorant of the destiny, and dance chaotically with ladders, in vain setting up a plan of nine refusals;
So the bears competed, the pihus fought for the first, the drums and horns blew, and the thieves collapsed, the dead soldiers did not have many Changping, and the accumulation of armor cut off the eastward flow of the Han River.

In the two expeditions to Xiangfan, the generals planned thousands of miles and bravely won the three armies. Fencing cut off Jiaos and Ao, and bending arcs chanted apes and geese.

From the beginning of Tongyun, there is no way to punish soldiers, and the smoke from Han Dynasty to Wanluo, the sharpness is hard to beat;
In the land of Nanyang, the country is rich and prosperous, and I have more possessions, and the situation is getting better day by day.

The Han masters from all directions, beating drums and battalions, are full of food and soldiers, invincible before.

The general transports his troops to carry his virtue, and rides the spiritual wind to fan his prestige.Destroy the heroes and give electric shocks, and beat the enemy as if they were left behind.

It is a pity that General Yu will not live forever, so he first abandons the subjects of the Han Dynasty and returns to his spirit.

I think of honor and honor, because of the righteousness of loyal ministers, I wanted to share the same fate, but the general's feathers were not as good as the noble's life, and he died.Woah!
Yun Changsi is my brother.After Yun Chang passed away, he cried and looked at the end of the world.

The world is sad, and the vegetation is sad.If there is no hanging sacrifice, there is no support for the spirit.Woohoo!
Is it time?What can I do!

Today, I sacrifice him with a mourning text, not only for his achievements, but also for his people. I only hope that the achievements of the great general will go down in history forever, and it will last for thousands of years! "

When Liu Bei finished reading the last sentence of the eulogy, many audiences on and off the altar also conveyed all the contents of the eulogy to the ears of everyone present.

After everyone listened to Liu Beinian's eulogy, while sadness appeared on their faces, another emotion began to spread in their hearts.

This emotion is called a surge of emotion.

Is this a eulogy, or a call to arms of the great Han Dynasty!
