Chapter 146: Rewarded on a high platform, promoted to worship(1/3)
After Liu Bei issued this urgent royal order, Ma Liang, the minister next to Liu Bei, had quickly written Liu Bei's royal order.
After a guard took the king's order, he quickly walked out and headed out of the city.
After Liu Bei's guards left at lightning speed, all the ministers in the hall did not understand what kind of victory could make the King of Hanzhong rise from his seat and make him so anxious to summon Mi Yang to Jiangling.
Liu Bei saw doubts on the faces of the officials in the hall. He also knew that the short words "Sun Quan was defeated and fled" were not enough to express Mi Yang's great achievements.
So he called Ma Liang to come forward, and then he handed Ma Liang the Mi Yang battle report in his hand and asked him to read out the contents of the Mi Yang battle report in front of the ministers.
Ma Liang was recently promoted to Shangshu from General Zuo by Liu Bei. As one of the only five Shangshus in the Hanzhong Kingdom, Ma Liang's official position and status are not insignificant.
Now the king leaves his seat and the minister reads the newspaper. These two unusual things represent the great achievements Mi Yang has made this time.
Ma Liang came to the head of the hall and received Mi Yang's battle report from Liu Bei.
As soon as he opened it and took a look, a look of great surprise appeared on his face.
Ma Liang's surprise could not go away for a long time, and then he suppressed his mind and began to read Mi Yang's battle report in front of everyone in the hall:
Chen Mi Yang reported: On the night of December 20, the 24th year of Jian'an, I ordered Ping Kou Colonel Guan Ping to lead five thousand troops to attack the Wu army's northern camp at night.
Because Wu's army was unprepared, our army successfully moved towards Beiying.
After arriving at the northern camp, our army attacked with fire. The enemy was unprepared and was able to set fire to the company camp.
As the fire spread, Wu's army suffered tens of thousands of casualties and mourned everywhere.
Furthermore, I personally led the barbarian soldiers, sneaked into the mountains and forests, and entered dangerous areas at night. I received help from the Wuxi barbarians and arrived outside the public security port.
Our army's whereabouts were secret and the Wu army did not know it. I ordered the Wuxi barbarians to attack them from high altitude. The Wu army was defeated and the enemy general Song Qian was killed in formation.
After occupying the port, he burned the port with fire in order to confuse the enemy.
The fire was raging, and the enemy's ships, equipment, water infantry, and military supplies were all temporarily exhausted.
The ministers led the barbarians to ride on horseback and quickly marched to the Wu army camp to join forces with Guan Ping.
The enemy's morale was greatly shattered as the important supply areas were burned.
The minister urged the troops to fight on all sides, and the Wu army collapsed, killing tens of thousands more.
Wherever the sharp edge reaches, where the blazing fire burns, there is no enemy in front of it.
Because Quan escaped at night, he cut off his beard and abandoned his robe. He only escaped with his body and dragged a raft across the river.
The corpses of Wu's army drifted down the river.
In the first battle of the Public Security Bureau, I killed more than 30,000 people below Qin and Tai. The rest went to the water and drowned, more than 20,000 people, more than 50,000 people fled into the mountains and forests, and the 100,000 Wu army was almost wiped out.
More than 6,000 ships were burned, more than a million stones of food and fodder were burned, and countless treasures were gained.
Although Quan was not captured, Quan was a cunning prisoner who relied on the wealth of the country and became a thief.
In today's battle, Jiangdong's years of accumulation have been wiped out. Quan's tribe has become a ghost and a walking corpse.
The public security is a key point and the country's borders are limited. If it is lost, it will not only damage the land of a county, but Jingzhou will be worried.
Quan Qian is always in heaven, and he does not guard the caves, but dares to send himself away.
Keeping it the day before yesterday was for the sake of the country.
However, if we defend it for a long time, we will lose it, and there is not enough food and grass in the city, so we take the initiative to attack it.
Although the minister is not talented, he relies on the king's kindness and his mighty spirit to overcome rebellion with obedience, which is like divine help.
Although I have made meritorious deeds now, I sincerely believe that the Holy King Shenwu is far away in power, and I will punish the guilty, but the results will be small and diligent.
When Ma Liang finished reading the contents of the battle report sentence by sentence in a measured language, the hall instantly fell into silence.
At this moment, Ma Liang's face was flushed.
On the one hand, the results achieved by Mi Yang were so brilliant, and on the other hand, the battle report written by Mi Yang made people's blood boil.
All the ministers in the hall looked at the battle report in Ma Liang's hand in shock.
The ministers in the hall were all well-informed people, but when faced with something unexpected, they still couldn't help but show shock on their faces.
When Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked China, they had the same expression after receiving the news.
At this time, in the hall, there were two people with pride that could not be concealed on their faces.
One person is Mi Fang.
When all the officials turned their attention to Mi Fang, he proudly raised his head.
Yes, I am Mi Yang’s father.
Another person is Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at the long-lost expressions on the faces of the ministers in the hall. Although he had already sat back on the throne, pride still appeared on his face.
This is the nephew I have taken with me and trained since childhood.
If you don't make a sound, it's enough. If you make a blockbuster, it will make a big difference.
Now Liu Bei finally understood why Emperor Xiaowu was so excited when he learned about Huo Qubing's achievements.
Because this sense of accomplishment in developing a famous general from an early age is such that even an emperor can't control his inner excitement.
After a moment of silence, a burst of heated discussion broke out in the hall.
The ministers in the hall were all discussing what kind of reward should be given to Mi Yang.
Mi Yang's battle was not just as simple as repelling Sun Quan, it also severely damaged Jiangdong's vitality.
After this battle, Jiangdong's national power will be reduced to the weakest among the three in a short period of time.
After this battle, Sun Quan would not be able to covet Jingzhou for at least five years.
Five years is enough time to change a lot of things.
Under the heated discussions among the ministers, many general titles began to appear for free.
General Yingyang, General Killing Kou, General Weiyuan and other various names began to appear.
Even in the end, the title of General Ping Wu became everyone's consensus.
As for Mi Yang's age, it has been habitually ignored by the ministers in the hall.
Although twenty years old is a bit young, Sun Ce was around this age when he was made a general by the Han Emperor's envoy.
At worst, add a line character.
The biggest reason why the ministers in the hall were so excited was that this battle by Mi Yang showed the majesty and pride of the Han army.
As ministers of the Han Dynasty, each of them is honored.
Finally, Huang Quan came out and advised Liu Bei: "The battle with the public security greatly increased the power of our army. Master Mi has made the most of his contribution. Your Majesty should reward you generously."
"Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou this time is all about forming an alliance with Sun Quan for help."
"If we grant the title of Master Mi in a high-profile manner now, it will firstly enhance the prestige of our army, and secondly, it will destroy Cao Cao's ambition."
"Sun Quan has been defeated. It is useless for him to invade Jingzhou again."
"Maybe this can force Cao Cao to retreat."
Liu Bei deeply agreed with Huang Quan's suggestion.
He had originally intended to reward Mi Yang generously.
Now Huang Quan added a military significance to the reward of Mi Yang, which made Liu Bei even more anxious to see Mi Yang as soon as possible.
It's not that Liu Bei is afraid of Cao Cao today, it's just that after the Battle of Hanzhong, Yizhou's national power has declined.
Jingzhou has been experiencing several battles this year, and now is the time for self-cultivation.
Liu Bei was in a very good mood now. He said to Huang Quan: "Yes."
As for how to reward Mi Yang, Liu Bei already had a plan in mind.
...
When Li Yan led his troops to the outside of Gong'an City, he saw the charred and collapsed Wu Army camp outside the city.
With many years of experience in leading troops, he could guess how vast and orderly the camp, which was originally in ruins outside the city, was.
But now, under Mi Yang's fire, they have all become dead wood.
The faces of the three generals Zhang Bao and Zhang Bao all had expressions of admiration.
You must study hard and be prepared for fire attacks when marching and setting up camp in the future.
It has been several days since Li Yan led the reinforcements to arrive at the police station.
During these few days, Li Yan took over the title of public security chief because he had the highest position.
Mi Yang was not proud of his great achievements, and he did not value the false reputation of a public security general.
The public security did not appoint county magistrates, so Li Yan, the chief public security officer, had to be grasped by the military and political affairs.
The reconstruction of the Public Security City after the war, the disposal of tens of thousands of Wu army corpses outside the city, and the work of arranging agricultural production for the coming of spring all naturally fell to Li Yan.
Because of his busy government affairs, Li Yan almost stayed up late every day.
