Mi Han

Chapter 526

Why did Meng Da look so excited after hearing the word Sima in the General's Mansion?

It is really because these two characters represent unusual power.

On the surface, Sima is the title of an officer in the middle and lower ranks of the army. If there were no specially appointed Sima, Sima would usually rank no more than four hundred shi.

From the point of view of rank alone, Meng Da, who is now the prefect of Hanxing and General Yingyang, should have looked down on this military position.

However, the official positions in the Han Dynasty had a very distinctive feature, that is, the separation of power and rank. More directly, it emphasized real power and despised rank.

And in the history of more than [-] years in the Han Dynasty, what kind of power is the greatest for a minister?

Undoubtedly the right to assist the government.

The auxiliary ministers of the Han Dynasty had the power to abolish the emperor!

The most basic and most important element in order to become an assistant minister is to have the right to run the government.

The power of opening a government and governing affairs is equivalent to a certain minister being able to form his own team with the righteousness of the Han family.

Even in the later stage, as long as the auxiliary minister's methods are clever enough and his prestige is high enough, he can completely make his hegemony become the new central court of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang in history is like this.

According to historical records, during Zhuge Liang's assistant government, Ji Han's power center was described as follows-the palace and the mansion are all integrated.

In the early days of Jian'an, Cao Cao also had this power.

It is precisely because of this power in his hands that Cao Cao was able to control the government of the Han Dynasty so legitimately in the future, and it also laid a solid political foundation for him to succeed the Han Dynasty.

But there is still a gap between Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang.

After Cao Cao took control of the Han dynasty, whether he followed his inner desires or was coerced by his own interest groups, he eventually became the most despised person when he was young.

But Zhuge Liang has always maintained his original aspirations and abided by his courtiers all his life, which has become a good story through the ages.

Human nature is selfish, and Cao Cao's behavior also has an understanding point of view from the perspective of human nature.

But Zhuge Liang's behavior is enough to make people worship.

This is also the biggest reason why he can be passed down through the ages and admired by countless people in later generations.

Anyway, regardless of the difference between Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao's choices, it is enough to see from their examples that once Mi Yang becomes an official general, with the blessing of opening a government and governing affairs, his personal power in the Han will reach A new pinnacle.

The power to open a government and manage affairs not only benefits Mi Yang endlessly, but also to all of their subordinates.

Because no matter how powerful the power is, someone needs to execute it for Mi Yang.

This group of people can only be the people in Mi Yang Ba's mansion.

Among the many official positions in the Overlord Mansion, Sima is a seemingly inconspicuous but extremely important position.

Sima can share Mi Yang's military power to a certain extent.

Becoming a member of the Overlord's Mansion can be said to be the greatest ambition in every ordinary Hanchen's heart.

Historically, Xiang Lang was the long history of Zhuge Liang's overlord's mansion. Later, because Xiang Lang shielded Ma Di, Zhuge Liang dismissed Xiang Lang in a rage.

A few years later, Liu Chan appointed Xiang Lang as Guang Luxun for Zhuge Liang's sake.

Guang Luxun is one of the nine ministers, and he is completely different from Xiang Lang's previous position as a long history.

However, after Xiang Lang was named Guang Luxun, he was often depressed, and finally died of grief and anger.

The reason is that when Xiang Lang was Zhuge Liang's hegemony, the power in his hands was almost equivalent to that of the deputy prime minister of the big man. At that time, the gate of Xiangfu's house was like a busy market, and there were not many people who came to follow his power.

But after Xiang Lang was "promoted" to Guang Luxun, all these phenomena disappeared.

From Xiang Lang's case, it can be seen how important it is to ordinary Hanchen whether he is a minister of the overlord.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of qualitative sublimation.

Meng Da is a man in the world, of course he knows how beneficial it is to him to be Sima among the ministers of the overlord.

And this kind of benefit is absolutely irresistible to anyone who likes power.

Under this kind of temptation, not to mention letting Mengda go deep into the tiger's den, it is not unacceptable even if he is asked to change his surname to "Mi".

After Meng Da became a "loyal minister" in seconds, Mi Yang smiled and asked Meng Da to step back and get ready.

But after Meng Da withdrew, Mi Yang found that Fa Miao and Zhou Tai were looking at him with eager, no, extremely passionate eyes.

The eyes of the two seemed to say - if they can become ministers of the overlord, they can also go to Fufeng!

Among them, Fa Miao's eyes were a little more enthusiastic than Zhou Tai's, because Fufeng Fa's family was also a local prominent family.

After reading the thoughts of the two confidants, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.

Yes, everyone in the world is mortal, so how can they be indifferent to fame and power?

But Mi Yang didn't promise anything to the two confidants, after talking about some things about dispatching troops tomorrow, Mi Yang watched Fa Miao and Zhou Tai leave with a lonely face.

For this point, Mi Yang didn't intend to hang on to the appetite of Fa Miao and Zhou Tai.

In fact, as he said, he did not have a clear plan in his mind about the affiliation of Yiying's officials.

Since there is no clear plan, it is impossible to make a premature promise without a reason.

But after coming to the Northern Expedition, this matter will also be put on the agenda.

And once Mi Yang's hegemony is formally established, it means that a huge interest group attached to Mi Yang will be formally formed.

In this way, after Liu Bei's death, apart from Zhuge Liang who also has the right to open the government and manage affairs, who else can check and balance Mi Yang in the Han Dynasty?

Even with Mi Yang's prestige in the army and Mi Yang's youth, this check and balance will slowly weaken over time and finally disappear.

On that day.

Mi Yang suddenly missed Zhuge Liang.

Thinking about it, Zhuge Liang must have full regrets about not being able to participate in this Northern Expedition.

He had to write a letter to tell Zhuge Liang his happiness.

After writing the letter, Mi Yang ordered someone to send the letter in his hand to Chengdu as quickly as possible.

Looking at the back of the messenger leaving, a longing smile appeared on the corner of Mi Yang's mouth.

What about that day?

Just follow the example of your teacher.

Conforming to the times and being ungrateful have always been two different things.

On the second day, Meng Da happily packed his bags and headed towards Fufeng along the shortcut with some relatives.

Since Meng Da left too early, Mi Yang didn't even know about it until he got up.

But this does not affect Mi Yang's next actions.

After replenishing the food and grass in Baozhong, Mi Yang issued an order for the whole army to continue to march on the same day.

Not long after Mi Yang led the army into the Baoxie Road, the spies arranged by Wei Jun in the Baoxie Road in advance noticed signs of the appearance of a large number of Han troops.

And when the Wei army scout saw the "Mi" army flag flying high in the Han army, he was so frightened that he almost rolled down the hillside.

After finally stabilizing his figure, the Wei Jun scout returned to Chang'an at the fastest speed in his life.

But a few days later, the Wei Jun scouts returned to Chang'an City with vicissitudes of life after traveling day and night.

With such a fast speed, I don't know if Wei Jun's scouts are eager to return, or he is simply afraid of Mi Yang's arrival.

The return of Wei Jun's scouts also brought a major earthquake to the huge city of Chang'an.

Die!Mi Yang is really here!

The news quickly swept through the entire Chang'an City like a thunderstorm.

And when all the Wei generals in Chang'an City heard the news, their throats almost jumped out.

Because most of the Wei generals in Chang'an City are the group of people who were lucky enough to escape from Nanzheng City.

As for who in the current Wei Dynasty is most afraid of Mi Yang, is there a second choice besides them?

The flood that filled the sky that day was like the most indelible nightmare in this life, always invading their hearts.

The young general who looked up to the sky and laughed at the head of Nanzheng City that day was like a god who could attract the power of heaven and earth. Every time they thought of it, they unconsciously wanted to worship him.

In the extreme panic in their hearts, many generals of the Wei army gathered in the general's mansion in Chang'an City, looking for Cao Zhen to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Zhen was also lucky enough to escape back to Chang'an not long ago.

And after learning the news that Cao Zhen was still alive, Cao Pi finally had a little comfort in his heart.

Not only did he not severely punish the defeated Cao Zhen, but he also issued an edict to let Cao Zhen take the crime and make meritorious deeds, and take charge of sitting in Chang'an to resist the coming Han army.

But even though Cao Pi did not punish Cao Zhen severely, after Cao Zhen returned to Chang'an, he still vomited blood because of the shame and resentment in his heart.

I vomited a lot.

But perhaps after castration, Cao Zhen's physical condition has undergone some changes.

Or maybe because he didn't want to disappoint Cao Pi, let alone overthrow the great Wei's country, Cao Zhen finally took over the burden of becoming the governor of Guanzhong.

Not long ago, the Northern Expedition written by Mi Yang himself had spread throughout Guanzhong.

Under such circumstances, everyone in the world knows that Mi Yang will personally lead an army to conquer Guanzhong in the near future.

For this fact, Cao Zhen also made a lot of advance arrangements in Chang'an.

But it is right to be prepared. When he learned that Mi Yang had actually dispatched troops, Cao Zhenxin was no less anxious than the generals who came to look for him.

Cao Zhen looked at the generals who were running around anxiously in front of him, he really wanted to reprimand them to stabilize their minds, but he couldn't say such words.

That's Mi Yang!

With the advantage in his hands, he was beaten like that. Now that the disadvantage is obviously on Wei Jun's side, what's the use of his pale scolding?

In the end, Cao Zhen could only sigh helplessly.

He has to slow down.

After a long time, Cao Zhen, who could calm his mind, said to the generals in front of him:

"The thieves have come to attack me in Chang'an this time, and they have the ambition to win."

"The most important thing for our army at the moment is to send troops to stop the Mi Bandit's way out of the ramp.

Otherwise, if the Mi thief led the army to enter Guanzhong smoothly, the consequences would be disastrous. "

Although the disastrous defeat in the battle of Liangzhou made Cao Zhenxin uneasy, but he is one of the most famous generals in the world after all.

It is not difficult to quickly make basic correct judgments.

Long before the Northern Expedition of the Han Army, Cao Zhen had discussed with several of his confidants what the main goal of the Han Army's Northern Expedition would be in Japan.

However, because Mi Yang's tactics have always been changeable, at the end of the discussion, Cao Zhen and several confidants still could not come up with a definite answer.

However, because of the importance of Chang'an, the guess that the Han army will mainly attack Chang'an is still one of the mainstream guesses in the Wei army.

Now that the scouts learned that the Han army appeared in the Baoxie Road, this guess was clearly confirmed.

But this is definitely not good news for Cao Zhen.

Because the general in charge of the Han army is Mi Yang, not Liu Bei as many people guessed before.

It seems that in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Liu Bei finally made the choice to sit in Nanzheng and send Mi Yang to personally go to the Northern Expedition.

And just as Cao Zhen said, if Mi Yang leads the troops himself, due to the lessons he has learned before, he must be very careful when fighting him.

Although Chang'an is one of the top three strong cities in the world today, Cao Zhen felt that it was most appropriate to send troops to stop Mi Yang's army directly outside Baoxie Road.

After all, Cao Zhen was worried that once Mi Yang led his army into Guanzhong without hindrance, what kind of moths he would make.

Outside of Chang'an City, there is the Wei River!

But after Cao Zhen's voice fell for a long time, none of the many Wei generals present responded to Cao Zhen in time.

None of the Wei generals present were fools.

In Cao Zhen's words, it is obvious that he hopes that someone will recommend himself and lead the army to strengthen the camp outside Baoxie Road, so as to prevent Mi Yang from leading the army into Guanzhong.

All Wei generals also know that Cao Zhen's strategy is correct, but the point is that not long after Liangzhou's defeat, who would do such a self-recommended thing?

Most people don't want to anyway.

But just when Cao Zhenxin was disappointed and wanted to call the roll directly, a General Wei took the initiative to stand up after pondering for a long time.

This General Wei was Sun Li who fled back from Yangping Pass before.

After Sun Li stood up, he said to Cao Zhenyan with a resolute face:

"General, I am willing to go!"

Cao Zhen was overjoyed to hear that someone offered to invite Ying.

He took a closer look and recognized Sun Li's identity.

Sun Li was a vassal of Cao Cao's hegemony in his early years, and Cao Cao once praised Sun Li for being "resolute and resolute, with the style of a general".

Cao Zhen has always been convinced of Cao Cao's judgment.

So without much thought, Cao Zhen agreed to Sun Li's request.

But Cao Zhen explained in advance:

"Currently there are not many soldiers in Chang'an City, I can only give you three thousand elite soldiers.

But don't worry, Guhui will issue military orders to the states and counties immediately, asking them to quickly deploy troops to come.

It's just that before the arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life, you must defend the entrance of Xiegu for the sake of loneliness! "

Hearing what Cao Zhen said, Sun Li was not surprised.

After the First World War in Liangzhou, the troops in Guanzhong were already depleted.

Coupled with the fact that he didn't know where the main attack direction of the Han army was, Cao Zhen could only deploy soldiers and horses in important places.

This undoubtedly made the troops in Chang'an even weaker.

Sun Li knew that the total army strength in Chang'an City was no more than [-].

This is still the case when the Central Plains sent reinforcements to support them.

And in order to defend Xiegukou, Cao Zhen was able to give him three thousand elite soldiers at one go, which is no longer easy.

However, Sun Li is confident that he can stop Mi Yang's army for a period of time with [-] elite soldiers.

There are not many people, but the location is in his favor.

And he already had a good plan in mind.

So Sun Li bowed slowly to Cao Zhenyi:

"only!"

The old rules, Chapter 2 early morning or early morning.
