Chapter 602: Comfort first, then make the killing move(1/2)
Listening to Meng Da's vivid description below, and then looking down at the mountains of good news piled up on the desk in front of him, Mi Yang's eyes were filled with excitement.
Fortunately for Mi Yang, the reactions of the generals present were more direct - exclamations came from their mouths one after another.
The atmosphere in the military tent became more and more lively as Meng Da continued to talk, which formed a clear contrast with the atmosphere in the Wei army's military tent.
Don't say that Cao Zhen didn't think of it beforehand, even Mi Yang felt a little unbelievable in his heart after hearing every step taken by Yang Biao and the Guanxi family.
The most Mi Yang thought beforehand was that Yang Biao might use his influence to encourage the Kansai family to betray Cao Wei - just like what he did during the Battle of Liangzhou.
But who would have thought that Yang Biao would use the most heroic behavior to completely detonate the powder keg of the Kansai family.
When the powder keg of the Kansai Family was detonated, Mi Yang was quite surprised by the violent actions of the Kansai Family led by Su Ze.
It was normal to seize the city and occupy the county, but to directly force King Fufeng Cao Gun to death without leaving any room for error, this step indeed dealt a heavy blow to Cao Wei.
This also made the Kansai Rebellion that occurred in recent days suddenly become several levels more bloody.
It's not that Mi Yang is making a fuss, but Mi Yang, who mainly lives in the south, knows that if it were the Yizhou and Jingchu families, they would never force Cao Gun to be killed. The most likely thing they would do is to imprison Cao Gun first.
But after being surprised, Mi Yang thought about it carefully and understood the harsh approach of the Kansai family.
The predecessor of the Kansai Family can be traced back to the heroes who were granted confederation by Liu Bang when he founded the country. You must know that four hundred years ago, the Kansai Family was able to kill even the young emperor for its own benefit.
As for the legacy of the Guanxi family, it’s even more incredible – let’s find out about the Guanlong Group, which created several dynasties of glory.
Meng Da quickly finished narrating what he had seen in the past few days, but after the narration, the pride and excitement on Meng Da's face still lingered for a long time.
The wave of righteousness in Guanzhong was so strong that as a member of the Guanxi family, he felt extremely honored.
The most important thing is that he took the greatest credit in triggering this wave.
Mengda went deep into Luoyang despite the danger, didn't he just want to enjoy the huge credit after the deed was accomplished?
Now that the big thing has happened, Meng Da will naturally find it difficult to suppress his inner excitement.
Meng Da's expression was clearly noticed by Mi Yang, who was sitting at the top.
After watching Meng Da's expression, Mi Yang roughly guessed what Meng Da was thinking.
What Mi Yang knows is that Meng Da is not the only one who has this idea at the moment. The Kansai family involved in this act of justice are all waiting for his next attitude.
His next attitude will directly further affect the situation in Guanzhong.
Mi Yang, who knew this, had an expression of wonder on his face. At the same time, he stood up and came to Meng Da, held Meng Da's hand and said:
"Zi Du ran around for the Han Dynasty and did not avoid the ax and ax. How could he have the situation of the Han Dynasty in our army today?"
After saying this, Mi Yang motioned to Huang Quan next to him with his eyes.
Huang Quan, who received the hint from Mi Yang's eyes, immediately asked for an edict with understanding.
In front of all the Han generals, Huang Quan read the contents of the edict aloud.
This edict is a reward edict written by Liu Bei himself.
In this edict, Meng Da was directly worshiped as General Zhendong by Liu Bei and granted the title of Marquis of Mianyang.
As for Su Ze, who led the Fufeng Uprising, he suddenly became the governor of Yongzhou, later general, and Marquis of Jingting in the Han Dynasty.
Not only did Meng Da and Su Ze receive heavy rewards from Liu Bei, but all heads of aristocratic families who participated in the uprising received corresponding rewards according to their respective contributions.
After listening to the contents of the edict, Meng Da's face was filled with joy.
Perhaps his official position is not as high as that of Su Ze, but his title is that of county marquis. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, how many ministers have been awarded the title of county marquis?
From this point of view, it is quite an honor to be awarded the title of County Marquis.
Moreover, compared to his official position in the Han Dynasty, Meng Da cared more about what Mi Yang had promised him before.
And how could Mi Yang disappoint Meng Da?
Under Meng Da's expectant gaze, Mi Yang held Meng Da's hand, raised it high and said loudly to the generals in the tent:
"From today onwards, Zidu will be the Sima of Gu Mansion!"
Mi Yang's words made all the generals in the tent suddenly become uneasy.
Envy!
Unabashed envy appeared on the faces of the Han generals.
Mi Yang's power was at its peak in the Han Dynasty. Being able to become a military commander in his shogunate not only allowed him to control a lot of practical military power, but also had many unimaginable benefits for his future development.
Apart from other things, once Meng Da becomes a subordinate of the Mi Yang shogunate, as long as he does not commit any crimes in the future, it can be said that it will be a matter of course for him to become a general with a high title in the future, and even the three ministers and nine Dukes.
Because from then on, Mi Yang's personal imprint was deeply imprinted on Meng Da.
It’s nice to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
With Mi Yang taking care of him, what kind of glory and wealth will Mengda not be able to get in the future?
On the contrary, even if Su Ze could become an important general and local official of the Han Dynasty, he would not be able to go very far in the future without a foundation in the Han court.
Even the official position he has obtained now may not always be with him in the future.
Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance which one is more important.
Looking at the envy that the generals in the tent looked at him, which was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it, Mengda's inner desire was greatly satisfied at this moment.
Mi Yang did not break his promise.
All his previous efforts have been rewarded with the most satisfaction.
For Mengda, who is obsessed with fame and fortune, this is what matters most to him.
Due to the strong sense of satisfaction in his heart, Meng Da excitedly wanted to bow down to Mi Yang, but his body was held up by Mi Yang's hands:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Everything today is what Zidu deserves."
Mi Yang's words fell into Meng Da's eyes, making him burst into tears.
Meng Da, who felt that he was with the wrong person, just wanted to "selflessly" dedicate himself to Mi Yang at this moment.
Soon Meng Da took the initiative to recommend himself:
"General, now our army should take advantage of the panic among the traitor soldiers and launch a fierce offensive against Wuzhangyuan.
I am willing to serve as a general and the vanguard of the army, and I will fight to the death!"
As soon as Meng Da finished speaking, all the Han generals in the tent immediately stood up.
While looking at Meng Da with sad eyes, they hurriedly recommended themselves to Mi Yang, thinking of competing with Meng Da for the position of pioneer.
The atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly ignited.
The atmosphere of the generals' enthusiastic invitation to fight brought a smile to Mi Yang's face.
Military generals are not afraid of death. This is a sign that the Han Dynasty is about to revive!
But in the face of the Han generals' enthusiastic invitation to fight, Mi Yang refused them verbally after returning to the main seat and letting the generals sit down first.
Mi Yang's rejection suddenly calmed down the atmosphere in the big tent.
Facing the puzzled looks of the generals, Mi Yang explained:
"When the rebels are anxious to retreat to the rear, it is the time for our army to launch a large-scale attack."
Then Mi Yang said:
"The rebel army is now divided into two sides of the Wei River, as if they are fighting each other. In addition, the rebel troops on both sides have their own camps. Based on the terrain, a strong attack will not be beneficial to our army."
"Our army may be able to obtain some results by attacking now, but it will definitely not be able to obtain the results of defeating the bandit army. Instead, it will increase our army's casualties in vain."
After Mi Yang finished speaking, the excitement of the Han people gradually cooled down.
Mi Yang's words reminded them of the battle some time ago.
When Meng Da hooked up with the Kansai family, Mi Yang was not idle. After all, as a commander-in-chief, he could not put all his eggs in one basket.
After observing the map, Mi Yang discovered that the waters of the Wei River were not as wide as the Yangtze River, and Guo Huai did not have many troops, so it was impossible to fortify everywhere along the Wei River.
So Mi Yang sent Zhao Yun, a tiger general, to go westward in a detour and cross the Wei River from somewhere upstream.
Mi Yang's move indeed prevented the Han army from being attacked halfway across the Wei River, but even if the Han army crossed the Wei River, they still failed to successfully capture the Wei army's camp on the north bank of the Wei River.
Guo Huai was talented, and Zhao Yun's several fierce attacks were repelled by him.
This was a war that happened not long ago, and every Han general in the tent knew it very well.
After listening to Mi Yang's words, every Han general had a look of thoughtfulness on his face.
It was Huang Quan who spoke first and replied:
"The thieves want to use the terrain to compete with our army in toughness!"
Huang Quan's judgment made Mi Yang agree:
"Of course."
Mi Yang originally thought that when a large number of Kansai families revolted, Cao Zhen, who was worried about losses in the rear, would probably withdraw his troops in a hurry.
In this way, the opportunity for the Han army came.
This is not only Mi Yang's idea, because Zhuge Liang and Mi Yang are not far apart at present, and Mi Yang also wrote a letter to discuss the war in Wuzhangyuan with Zhuge Liang.
