Mi Han

Chapter 5 Mi Yang Offers Suggestions
In fact, Mi Yang was also a little worried just now, he was worried that Mi Fang would kill him in a fit of anger.

But fortunately, although Mi Fang has a lack of personal morality, she is still a loving father, and she has a very deep affection for him.

Seeing that Mi Fang had acquiesced in his capture and killing of Xu Xiang, Mi Yang knew that the main event was coming.

Mi Yang knelt down on the ground and asked Mi Fang,
"Father is an important minister of the Han Dynasty, so why should he privately meet Jiangdong as an envoy?"

"If the son hadn't discovered this matter early, if the king knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous."

Using his acting skills, Mi Yang naturally acted like a confused son.

After hearing Mi Yang's worry, Mi Fang, who felt that the future was already bleak, suddenly burst out laughing,

At this time, he was already a little broken.

Mi Fang laughed ironically and said,

"If Zicheng hadn't hunted and killed Xu Xiang today, after a few days, it's still unknown who my master is. How could I be afraid that Xuande would find out about it?"

After Mi Fang finished speaking, Mi Yang quickly looked up "scared", and looked at Mi Fang with a shocked expression,

Mi Yang trembled, and said incredulously, "Could it be that my father and that Jiangdong envoy came to discuss things."

Looking at the second half of Mi Yang's unspoken sentence, Mi Fang no longer wanted to hide anything from her son.
The escape route he was looking for was cut off by his "unaware" precious son, and then he felt that he was in danger of death, so what else did he have to worry about?

"That's right, Jiangdong Sun Quan wanted to surprise Jingzhou again, and Xu Xiang was sent by Lord Wu Sun Quan to recruit me.

I have met with him more than once. "

"And the matter I discussed with him just now is how I will open the city to welcome the Wu army when they come to the city in the future."

After Mi Fang told Mi Yang all the secrets, Mi Yang knew it all, but he had to put on an unbelievable look on his face,

His eyes were red, and he said to Mi Fang,
"Father is the minister of the Great King Yuan Cong, and he has never had a second thought for decades, why bother to have such an idea today!"

Facing Mi Yang's question, Mi Fang just sneered, and said,
"Why?
Because Guan Yunchang insulted me too much! "

"That fellow Guan Yu has always been contemptuous of scholar-bureaucrats, and he has spoken contemptuously to me in the past, which is nothing at all.

As a father, he knows that he is a counselor, without Kong Ming's strategy of latitude and longitude, and as a general, he has nothing to do with Yu and Zhang Fei's invincible spirit. "

"Guan Yu is the general of Xuande, and he has known me for dozens of years. For the sake of Xuande's great cause, I can bear how that guy Guan Yu despised me in the past."

"But he shouldn't be trying to kill me."

"This year he started the Northern Expedition, and the original plan was to return within half a year at most, but his continuous victories and victories shocked China.

When he was full of majesty, he didn't know how hard it was for me to raise troops, horses, food and grass in the rear. "

"Jingzhou is no longer the prosperous country that Liu Jingsheng ruled back then.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Jingzhou has fallen into a three-party melee and has been dilapidated.

In addition, our army now only has three counties of Jiangling, Wuling, and Lingling. The two counties of Wuling and Lingling are located in the south of Jingnan, which was originally a wild land.

It was difficult for these two counties to be self-sufficient in the past, so how can they talk about raising military funds to supply the front line. "

"So since Guan Yu's expedition this year, I have been supporting his tens of thousands of troops with the national power of one county. It is not easy to last for a few months."

"But just last month, he ordered an envoy to ask me for troops, food, ordnance,"

"Since the beginning of winter this year, the epidemic has been prevalent in Jingzhou, and our Jiangling county has spent all our national power to support tens of thousands of troops for nearly half a year. How can there be any troops, food, ordnance to supply the front."

"I just told the details according to the facts. Guan Yu thought that I was deliberately delaying the military funding, so he let me know.

"Come back and punish me"

"He speaks like this, how can a father just sit and wait for death!"

The more Mi Fang talked, the more angry he became. As he spoke, he hit the bed under him with his hands to show his anger.

Mi Fang's words made Mi Yang fall into silence for a while.

Most of what Mi Fang said is consistent with historical records. Many people in later generations scolded Mi Fang for selling out for glory, but in fact, Mi Fang was just selling out for survival.

However, now that Mi Yang has traveled through time, he doesn't want Mi Fang to be a seller.

After Mi Yang listened to Mi Fang's words, he immediately persuaded with emotion,
"In the fifth year of Jian'an, I was born in Runan. At that time, the king led the army to attack Xudu. When the army was in danger, he still gave me the name Yang, which means sunrise.

Then I got the crown, and the king gave me the word, Zisheng.

As a king, he bestows names and characters on the sons of his subjects, which is a virtue.

Mainly, after the king acquired Yizhou, he immediately entrusted his father with the task of enforcing the territory, which is a kindness.

Your Majesty has great kindness to my Mi Clan, and has never done anything wrong to my Mi Clan. Even if my father had a quarrel with the former general, what has he to do with your Majesty?
Your Majesty has never betrayed my Mi family, so how can my father be betrayed now. "

Mi Fang wanted to surrender to Sun Quan out of grievances with Guan Yu, but it had nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Mi Yang knew that Mi Fang was the guard of Jiangling, even if he cut off the way for Mi Fang to surrender to Jiangdong, if he didn't arouse Mi Fang's heart to guard Jiangling, then everything would be useless.

And this can only start from Liu Bei's kindness to Mi Fang.

When Mi Yang mentioned Liu Bei, a look of shame appeared on Mi Fang's face, and a generous face appeared in his mind, and that face was faintly smiling at him.

Seeing the ashamed look on Mi Fang's face, Mi Yang went on to say,

"In the first year of Xingping, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of illness, and my father and uncle jointly welcomed the king as the lord of Xuzhou."

"In the first year of Jian'an, when the king was in a stalemate with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu took the opportunity to attack Xiapi and captured the king's wife.

At that time, the king's foundation was completely lost, like a rootless weed, and the wise and brave men around him left one after another.

In the end, only a few people, such as uncle and father, never gave up on the king.

And the uncle married the aunt to the king, and lost all his wealth and servants to support the king, so that the king's army regained strength.

At that time, Cao Cao used a strategy of alienation, and recommended his uncle to be the prefect of Yingjun and his father to be the Minister of Pengcheng.
But neither the father nor the uncle accepted it, and decided to follow the king. At this time, the king's revival of the Han Dynasty was in sight, so why did the father feel betrayed again? "

Speaking of this, Mi Fang's face became even more ashamed.

Mi Yang went on to say, "In the second year of Jian'an, the king was defeated by Lu Bu again by Yu Xiaopei, and his father followed him to seek refuge in Xuchang.

In the third year of Jian'an, Lu Bu sent Gao Shun and others to break through the city of Pei, where the king was guarding, and the king rode alone to avoid danger.

The father did not avoid danger, and after several twists and turns, he finally reunited with the king.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally conquered the king in Xuzhou. The king was defeated and General Guan was captured.

The king fled to Qingzhou. Later, his father traveled thousands of miles and led the scattered soldiers. After all kinds of hardships, he joined the king so that the king would not become a general without soldiers.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, my father followed the king to Runan, where he and the king killed Cai Yang.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao attacked the king, and the king was defeated in Runan. His father protected the king all the way and fled to Xinye.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao personally led the army to the south, Liu Cong surrendered, and his father retreated south with the king.

In that battle, none of my brothers and sisters participated in the battle, but my father still did not regret it and continued to follow the king. "

"All these past events were told to me by the king when I was young.

Your Majesty never forgot his father's loyalty to him,
Your Majesty has never forgotten his guilt towards me, Mi Shi. "

"But now, is father going to forget his original intention?"

"Before today, who in the world would not say that my father is a loyal minister, is it possible that today my father will shame my Mi family's reputation because of a single mistake!"

"A teacher who never forgets what happened in the past, what happened to General Wei a few months ago, my father should take it as a warning."

"Before Cao Cao's coercion with axes and axes, and the lure of high-ranking officials and rich salary, my father never wavered.

But now his father actually wants to abandon the king for a moment of personal grievance? "

"Besides, with the king here, even if the former general wanted to punish father, the king will try his best to protect father.

Why should the father worry about it? "

Just as the so-called authorities are fascinated, as soon as Mi Yang finished speaking, Mi Fang covered her face and wept.

Judging from various past events, there is no doubt about Mi Fang's loyalty to Liu Bei. He was temporarily blinded by personal grievances before.

People's hearts are fleshy, not to mention betraying a person who has followed for more than 20 years, who is like a brother like a master, Mi Fang feels uncomfortable in her heart.

Now that Mi Yang has revealed the past one by one, the regret in Mi Fang's heart can almost fill the city.

But the big mistake has already been made, Mi Fang knows that it is not a matter of a day or two for him to communicate with Xu Xiang, and it is already hard to get off.

Even if Mi Yang captures and kills Xu Xiang today, Xu Xiang cannot return to his life.

However, in the previous contact, Sun Quan had known for a long time that Mi Fang had intended to surrender, which undoubtedly strengthened Sun Quan's determination to surprise Jingzhou.

Seeing Mi Fang covering her face and weeping, Mi Yang knew that Mi Fang should be starting to regret it.

In fact, the reason why Mi Yang insisted on preventing Mi Fang from surrendering to Soochow was not because of how loyal he was to Liu Bei, but how loyal he was to Liu Bei as a time traveler.

The main reason is that he knew that after Mi Fang surrendered to Soochow, not to mention being scolded as a dog in later generations, even in this life, she was despised by the people of the world.

This includes the Wu people.

According to historical records, once, Mifang was traveling by boat and encountered Yu Fan's boat. The people on Mifang's boat wanted Yu Fan to get out of the way and shouted: "Avoid our general's boat!"

Yu Fan said sharply, "Why should a man who has lost his loyalty serve the monarch? Can he be called a general after losing two cities?"

Mi Fang was ashamed and closed the window of the boat to let Yu Fan pass first.

Later, when Yu Fan traveled by car, he passed Mifang's camp, but the officials did not open the door, so Yu Fan's chariot and horses could not pass through.

Yu Fan said very angrily: "Close what should be opened, and open what should be closed. How can you do such a thing?"

After hearing this, Mi Fang felt even more ashamed.

From these two things, it can be seen that after Mi Fang surrendered to Soochow, her life must have been very unsatisfactory.

Mi Fang is like this, he, who has no roots in Soochow, will definitely be even worse after Mi Fang's death.

But if he did not betray Liu Bei and remained in the power of the Shu Han, with the merits of the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang in the past and their kindness to Liu Bei, as the second generation of founding fathers, Mi Yang's status must be leveraged.

It was because of this mentality that Mi Yang didn't want Mi Fang to surrender to Sun Quan.

After breaking through Mi Fang's psychological defense, Mi Yang knew that the time had come, and he immediately suggested to Mi Fang,
"Father, don't worry. Soochow has not sent troops yet, and Jiangling is still in the hands of our army. There is still time for everything."

At this time, Mi Fang was in a state of confusion, he subconsciously asked Mi Yang,

"What's Zisheng's plan?"

Mi Yang first asked Mi Fang, "Father was in contact with Jiangdong before, did you have any correspondence?"

Mi Fang shook her head when she heard this, "Before, in order to ensure that the matter would not be leaked, I always kept in touch with Xu Xiang on a single line, without leaving any correspondence."

Hearing what Mi Fang said, Mi Yang instantly felt relieved.

Mi Yang said, "Xu Xiang must not be released back to Jiangdong today, otherwise my father and son will not be able to explain to the king in the future. Only Xu Xiang's head can correct the loyalty of my father and son."

After finishing speaking, Mi Yang went on to say,

"The sun thief wants to attack me in Jingzhou. I guess he has been preparing for a long time, and he wants to send troops soon."

"Time waits for no one. The most urgent thing is to tell the news to General Guan on the front line, so that he can take precautions, retreat quickly, and return to defend Jiangling."

Before that, Lu Xun and Lu Meng set up a plan to make Guan Yu take it lightly, and transferred a large number of Jiangling defenders to the front line.

Now Jiangling City is empty of troops. Although Jiangling City is strong, the lack of troops is a very big hidden danger.

And Guan Yu still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. Once these tens of thousands of troops return to help, it will not be difficult to defend Jiangling.

Then Mi Yang continued,

"Furthermore, father should immediately send an envoy to the middle of Shu to ask for help, and inform the king of the fact that the thief intends to attack Jingzhou by surprise, and ask him to quickly send an army to rescue."

Hearing Mi Yang's words, Mi Fang was puzzled, he said,
"If you ask for reinforcements, Generals Shangyong Liu and Meng are closer, why not ask them for help first."

But when he heard that Mi Fang wanted to ask Liu Feng and Meng Da for help, Mi Yang shook his head directly.

Liu Meng is reliable, sows can climb trees.

But he just prevaricated on the grounds that Liu Feng and Meng Da had few soldiers.

Finally, Mi Yang said, "Father should immediately order to transfer all the weapons, food, and defenders from the other cities in Nanjun to Jiangling City,
This can not only strengthen the wall and clear the field, but also strengthen the defense force of Jiangling. "

Jiangling is the strongest and most important city in Nanjun.

It connects Xiangyang in the north, Jingnan in the south, and Bashu in the west. As long as Jiangling is not lost, Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops will have a retreat.

And as long as Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops are not lost, then Jiangling City will never be lost.

As for the other cities in Nanjun City, if you lose it, you will lose it, and you will just get it back later.

After Mi Yang finished talking about these three important matters, Mi Fang nodded frequently, and he wanted to give an order to do it immediately.

But he had trouble with one thing.

That is to send someone to inform Guan Yu. After all, he and Guan Yu have been at odds for a long time, and he is afraid that Guan Yu will not believe what he said.

Mi Yang saw Mi Fang's embarrassment, he immediately clasped his hands and said to Mi Fang,
"My son is willing to join General Guan's army."

Hearing that Mi Yang recommended himself, Mi Fang was very reluctant for a while.

He was afraid that Guan Yu would anger Mi Yang because of him, but Mi Yang laughed and said,

"I am Xiaolian who was promoted by the King of Hanzhong. How can Xiaolian not share his father's worries!"

"General Kuangguan is a sensible person, and he will definitely not embarrass me."

After Mi Yang said that, Mi Fang finally felt relieved.

Mi Yang was raised by Liu Bei's side since he was a child, and Guan Yu would not embarrass Mi Yang because of Liu Bei's face.

After speaking, Mi Fang immediately took out her prefect's seal and handed it to Mi Yang, so that he could go on the road unimpeded.

And after getting Mi Fang's prefect's seal, Mi Yang was about to leave, but at the moment when he walked to the door, Mi Fang's voice suddenly sounded from behind,

"Zi Sheng."

A sound of Zicheng sounded, and Mi Yang stopped walking immediately.

"Don't think that being a father is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death,

吾，
I'm just afraid that if I die wearing a sinful body,
You are the son of a guilty minister, what will you do to rely on your future under the command of the king. "

Hearing what Mi Fang said suddenly, Mi Yang was a little moved for a moment.

He stood for a while, then turned his back to Mi Fang and clasped his fists, saying,
"Father, please sit in the city. With your son here, you will definitely protect Jingzhou!"

"My Mi family should be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

After finishing speaking, Mi Yang immediately opened the door and walked out.
