Chapter 521: Liu Bei, the superior, Juju Zhaolie(1/2)

The applause in the hall proved that the strategy and tactics proposed by Mi Yang were approved by almost all Han officials.

After the cheers, Mi Yang and all the officials in the hall looked at Liu Bei.

No matter how good Mi Yang's words were, no matter how enthusiastic the reactions of the ministers were, at present, the only one in the hall who could really make the decision was Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei's strategy is not great, Mi Yang explained it so clearly, so how could he not understand it?

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Bei's face showed a smile.

"The general's strategy is excellent."

When Liu Bei said these words, the faces of all the Han ministers in the hall became more and more excited.

Even Mi Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when Mi Yang was relaxing, what Liu Bei said next surprised Mi Yang.

"However, I think that the general should lead his army as a suspect army heading to Baoxie Road, and I will personally conquer Longyou."

After hearing what Liu Bei said, not only Mi Yang, but also all the Han officials present were quite surprised.

Although according to Mi Yang's vision, attacking Longyou would not be too difficult, but as Liu Bei was an emperor, it would be fine for him to conduct the expedition himself to boost morale, and there was no need to take on the main offensive task himself.

Furthermore, compared to Liu Bei, letting Mi Yang go to attack Longyou seems safer no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, why does Your Majesty have this idea?

The ministers did not think that Liu Bei wanted to compete with Mi Yang for credit.

As the founding emperor, he doesn't need to be like this.

The confused looks from everyone did not make Liu Bei intend to explain.

Facing everyone's doubtful gazes, he just said calmly: "This is the imperial decree!"

Although Liu Bei's words were spoken lightly, these four words meant that there was no room for change in this matter.

Seeing this, all the ministers gradually let go of their doubts.

Although Liu Bei's personal expedition to Longyou was not the best choice, as Liu Bei, the King of Horses, was leading the main force of the Han army in the Northern Expedition to Longyou, he thought there would be no major mistakes.

When Liu Bei made the final decision, it also represented the official end of today's parliament.

So under Liu Bei's order, all the officials stood up and left one after another.

The running around in the past few days has indeed made them quite tired. It is time to take a good rest and prepare for the next battle.

But as the ministers in the hall left one after another, Liu Bei discovered that Mi Yang had no intention of leaving.

Liu Bei was well aware of Mi Yang's move but did not immediately expose it.

After all the ministers in the hall had left, Liu Bei also waved his hand to disperse the surrounding Yulin troops, leaving only one chamberlain to wait on him.

Seeing that there were no other people waiting in the hall, Mi Yang no longer hesitated. He stood up and came to Liu Bei, bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty!"

But before Mi Yang could continue speaking, Liu Bei interrupted him directly and said: "It's getting late and our army will set off soon. You should go back and rest early."

At this moment, Liu Bei's tone still had the kindness of an elder towards a younger generation.

But Mi Yang's next words made Liu Bei frown slightly.

"I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Seeing Mi Yang's reluctance, Liu Bei's tone was no longer warm.

"I'm going to rest!"

You are so young that you can stay up late, but I said it's okay if I want to sleep.

But Mi Yang did not resigned and left as Liu Bei expected. Instead, Mi Yang said in a more serious tone:

"I have a saying, if you don't say it out, it would be disloyal!"

Mi Yang's ignorance seemed to annoy Liu Bei, and his tone suddenly turned cold.

"You dare to disobey me, you have become more and more domineering recently!

If you don't retreat, I will issue an edict to cut off your territory!"

The chamberlain beside Liu Bei saw that Liu Bei was showing signs of anger, and a worried look appeared on his face.

Your Majesty, what's going on?

Obviously on the way to Liangzhou, he always praised Mi Yang every time, which is enough to show that his love for Mi Yang is deep in his bones.

And now why are you angry with Mi Yang because of a trivial matter?

It’s true, General, if you have anything you can’t wait until tomorrow to talk about it?

I don't even care about the elderly person's health.

Just when the chamberlain was worried about the relationship between Liu Bei and Mi Yang, what Mi Yang said next made Liu Bei choke.

"Everything I have is given by Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to take it back, I will not complain at all.

However, Your Majesty is both the monarch of my subjects and my relatives and elders. There are certain things that my ministers and nephews must give me advice on.

Although your majesty has the spirit of being an old man, Longyou is far away and the journey is difficult. In addition, the weather in Longyou is unpredictable. Your majesty is closely involved in the national destiny of the Han Dynasty. How can you put yourself in danger?

I also hope that your majesty will take back your order and let me capture Longyou for your majesty.

I am willing to issue a military order. As long as it takes half a year, or at most half a year, I will definitely let the Han army's military flags be planted in all the cities of Longyou!

I hope..., I hope my uncle, I hope my master, don't put yourself in danger!"

At the end of the sentence, Mi Yang's tone was filled with sobs.

After listening to what Mi Yang said, Liu Bei's originally serious face softened instantly.

He knew that Mi Yang was going to say this!

Originally, Mi Yang, as a minister, asked Liu Bei to speak out his words, which can be regarded as loyal advice. However, if it is misinterpreted, it is not an exaggeration to say that Mi Yang is impudent.

But the content of Mi Yang's words moved Liu Bei deeply.

Throughout Mi Yang's words, he was worried about Liu Bei's health and expressed his sincere filial piety towards Liu Bei.

In the Han Dynasty, the country was governed by filial piety. The word filial piety is more important than anything else!

In addition, Liu Bei loved Mi Yang as his own son. Liu Bei was an emperor, but he was also an old man.

For an old man, his love for licking calves is the strongest. If his nephew expresses filial piety to him, besides making him happy, will it also make him angry?

Especially Mi Yang's last words of "uncle" and "master" directly hit the softest part of Liu Bei's heart.

After a long time, Liu Bei could only sigh deeply.

"Get up, the floor is cold, why are you kneeling all the time?"

Facing Liu Bei's words, Mi Yang was very obedient and stood up from the ground.

They both called uncle and master. It was obvious that personal feelings prevailed at the moment. Mi Yang did not need to be shy in front of his family.

After Mi Yang stood up, Liu Bei looked at Mi Yang with loving eyes and said:

"How can I not know your filial piety towards me?

But I must fight this battle in Longyou!"

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Mi Yang made a gesture to kneel down again.

Mi Yang's reaction made Liu Bei both angry and funny.

"Come and sit down! Listen to me."

Liu Bei's timely words stopped Mi Yang from kneeling down again.

Liu Bei still had the dignity of a parent. Under Liu Bei's "scolding", Mi Yang came to the steps below Liu Bei's seat and knelt down.

Just like when he was scolded by Liu Bei when he was a child.

After Mi Yang sat down next to him, Liu Bei said: "When you just explained the strategy, you obviously had reservations."

"As you said, Bao Xiedao's army is a suspicious army, and when it comes to the maximum effect of luring the enemy, I am not the best candidate, you are!

I can see this, how could you not know it?

I understand all your thoughts."

Faced with Liu Bei's judgment, Mi Yang did not explain himself.

Because what Liu Bei said is right.

The Han army on Baoxie Road was used to lure the enemy with suspicion, and in order to maximize the effect of luring the enemy, the bait on the Han army's surface must be large enough.

Which general in the Han army currently has a reputation that would frighten the Wei army and make them mobilize a large number of troops to defend against him at all costs?

This man was not Liu Bei, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but Mi Yang, the general of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, there are talented people in the Wei army. Mi Yang's plan of seducing the east and attacking the west is brilliant, but there is no guarantee that no one in the Wei army will notice the clues.

You must know that the old turtle Jia Xu is not dead yet.

But if Mi Yang is allowed to lead a Han army into Baoxie Road, even if someone guesses that Mi Yang may be attacking in the east and attacking in the west, the Wei army will definitely mobilize troops from other places to defend Chang'an.
