After Liu Bei conquered Yizhou, he was grateful for the hard work and meritorious service of the eight ministers who had followed him in his early years. Therefore, he ordered a famous craftsman in Shu to quarry eight armors made of fine iron from Jinniu Mountain in Chengdu, and gave them to his eight most trusted ministers respectively.
Among them, Mi Zhu, who ranked at the forefront among the eight important ministers, was rewarded with a pair of bright light armor.
Cao Zhi recorded in the "Form of Armor Given to Ministers by the First Emperor":
"The late emperor gave me armor, one collar each for black light and bright light, one collar for double armor, one collar for red refining armor, and one collar for horse armor."
The early Mingguang armor actually appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but its shape may be quite different from that of the later Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The chest and back of the Mingguang Armor given to Mi Zhu by Liu Bei are composed of a single deck.
These two decks are made into bronze mirrors to protect the vital points of the owner who wears this armor.
Its lower body is mainly made of gold and iron in the shape of fish scales.
The craftsmanship of this pair of Mingguang Armor may not be as high-end as that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in later generations, but this armor is made of refined iron and its defensive power can be said to be the first among all armors in the world.
The manufacturing of Mingguang Armor was cumbersome, with sophisticated materials and complicated processes. Even if Liu Bei summoned famous craftsmen from Shu at that time, he could only make two pairs in a short period of time.
One of them was given to his most trusted general Guan Yu, and the other was given to Mi Zhu.
After Mi Zhu received this pair of armor, considering that he would rarely have the opportunity to go into battle in the future, he wanted to give this pair of Mingguang Armor to his nephew.
As for Mi Zhu's son Mi Wei, he was already the Colonel Huben in the palace at that time.
In order not to make Mi Wei too ostentatious, Mi Zhu, who has a low-key personality, donated this armor to Mi Yang.
Anyway, Liu Bei had revealed to Mi Zhu earlier about his future arrangements for Mi Wei and Mi Yang:
One son lives inside and holds the satellite star, while the other lives outside and displays his power in all directions.
Mi Yang, who was arranged by Liu Bei to show his power in the future, is undoubtedly more suitable to be the owner of this armor.
When Mi Yang came to Jingzhou from Shuzhong last year, he happened to bring this pair of bright light armor with him.
Today, because he was going on an expedition, Mi Yang put on this pair of Mingguang armor for the first time, which represented honor and life protection.
When Mi Yang, wearing Mingguang armor, appeared in the school grounds, he suddenly became the focus of the school grounds.
What is bright light?
"When you see the light of the sun, your whole body becomes bright."
Under the sunshine, Mi Yang, whose whole body was shimmering with light, had a hard time not wanting to be stared at when she came to the school grounds.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of soldiers in the school grounds, Mi Yang stepped onto the high platform in the school grounds step by step.
At this time, on the high platform, Guan Ping and Yu Jin were already waiting here.
Guan Ping's face was full of envy when he saw Mi Yang wearing the bright light armor gifted by Liu Bei.
It goes without saying that the Mingguang Armor is protective. As long as the distance is not too close to the enemy, ordinary arrows cannot cause damage to it.
Moreover, the Mingguang Armor represents Liu Bei's deep love for the Mi clan.
Although Liu Bei did not give the Mi brothers too much power because of their lack of ability.
But in terms of favoring them, sometimes they really outshine the others.
Although he was envious in his eyes, Guan Ping also knew that business was important. He stepped forward and said to Mi Yang, "Mi Governor, except for those who are currently guarding the city, all the soldiers in the city have arrived."
Mi Yang has always been reassured by Guan Ping's ability to do things.
Mi Yang nodded to Guan Ping, then he came to the high platform and looked intently at the thousands of soldiers in the school field.
Thousands of soldiers, led by the generals in their respective battalions, lined up in an orderly manner and stood in the school field.
Their eyes are straight and their bodies are upright. As the guardians of the country, they are worthy of the name of the world's elite.
When Mi Yang came to the edge of the high platform, thousands of Jingzhou warriors in the school field below all looked at Mi Yang.
Each of them knew in their hearts that in the next period of time, this man would lead them to resist the enemies who invaded their homes.
Mi Yang looked at the thousands of Jingzhou men below and saw that they all looked at him with convinced eyes, and a sudden surge of fire surged in his heart.
Although there are not many thousands of people, when these thousands of people will obey your orders, when you give an order, these thousands of people will go through fire and water because of your order. That feeling is enough to make any man excited.
This is what power feels like.
Mi Yang took a deep breath and shouted loudly to the thousands of soldiers below,
"Sun Quan was unjust and betrayed the alliance and invaded our Jingzhou. Now their vanguard is approaching outside the city and I want to attack them."
"I have been taught by the King of Hanzhong that when commanding troops and conducting military operations, faith should be the basis. Treating soldiers dishonestly is something the ancients regretted."
"The enemy army is numerous and the attack is dangerous.
But if we don't fight now, Wu's army will be brutal and will surely destroy our home and slaughter our family members. "
"To protect our country and our country, I want to dispatch troops and horses to attack him. Anyone who is willing to follow me to defeat the enemy can raise his gun to the sky!"
Mi Yang used all his strength to shout the last words to the thousands of soldiers below.
Because of the special structural design of the school ground, Mi Yang's voice can spread throughout the army to the greatest extent.
Even if some soldiers cannot hear clearly, a general will relay it on their behalf.
Mi Yang's tone was frank, clearly informing him of the danger of the matter.
But when thousands of soldiers heard that Wu Jun would harm their families, they instantly became filled with righteous indignation.
No matter how dangerous it is, it's still better than having your family destroyed and everyone dead!
During this period of time in the police, Mi Yang's reputation for faith has spread throughout the city, so they have no doubts about Mi Yang's words.
So almost three breaths later, thousands of soldiers in the school field raised their spears to stab the sky.
Under the leadership of their respective generals, they all responded to Mi Yang in a firm tone,
"May! May! May!"
When the voices of thousands of people reached the high platform, the last trace of worry in Mi Yang's heart was instantly dispelled.
How can we not win with such military morale?
There are about three thousand soldiers in the school field. This is the largest mobile force that can be mobilized in the public security city except for the necessary configuration to defend the city.
According to intelligence, Sun Huan might have six thousand men, but even though the force was far lower than that of Sun Huan's side, Mi Yang had no fear at all at this time.
Fighting has always relied on more than just paper strength.
After seeing that the military was ready, Mi Yang turned to look at Guan Ping. He said to Guan Ping, "After I leave, the city will be able to defend itself."
Guan Ping was anxious when he heard that Mi Yang didn't mean to take him.
He advised Mi Yang, "Zisheng, the battlefield is dangerous. Besides, you have never led an army alone. Why don't you let me lead an army on an expedition?"
Everyone knows that the people who lead the troops out this time may not come back.
Those who stay to defend the city are the safest.
Even if the three thousand soldiers and horses brought out were completely wiped out, Wuximan's five thousand reinforcements were almost here.
Once reinforcements from the Wuxi Barbarians arrive, the Public Security Bureau will still be a fortified city that is difficult to break. It will not be a big problem to hold on for at least another month.
Precisely because he knew this, Guan Ping was worried about Mi Yang's safety. He valued friendship and would rather leave dangerous matters to himself than let his friend Mi Yang take risks alone.
Mi Yang shook her head in opposition to Guan Ping's suggestion.
