When the Han army just won, the casualties on both sides and the number of prisoners had not yet been calculated.
In addition, Guan Yu was anxious to capture Fancheng at that time, so he did not send a messenger to Xiangyang to report the victory immediately.
So the messenger sent by Mi Yang came to Xiangyang City carrying two pieces of news.
Liu Bei couldn't help laughing out loud after learning that a courier from the front line came back with blood all over his body.
The Han army won this battle.
Today the Han and Wei armies are going to war, and Liu Bei knows about it.
According to common sense, if the Han army was defeated in today's battle, then the defeated Han army would definitely have crossed the Han River and fled back to Xiangyang.
However, no bad news has come from the Han troops currently deployed by Liu Bei along the Han River in preparation for emergencies.
Instead, a messenger came from outside Fancheng. Liu Bei knew what kind of battle report this messenger wanted to report.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of today's battle, Liu Bei did not take the initiative to send envoys to the Han army camp on the north bank of the Han River to inquire.
But Liu Bei's behavior does not mean that he is not worried about the battle situation on the front line. On the contrary, he is very worried about the battle situation on the front line.
Because compared to Guan Yu and others, Liu Bei is currently the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei was actually a new dynasty.
But from an objective perspective, because the dynasty established by Liu Bei used the name "Han", it can be said that since the establishment of this dynasty, it has become a common enemy of ambitious people in the world to a certain extent.
Under such circumstances, the foundation of the emerging Han Dynasty was unstable.
Not to mention that the national power of the Han Dynasty is still very weak.
Today's battle has almost gathered most of the current elites of the Han Dynasty.
Today's battle is tantamount to a battle in which this emerging man puts his country's fortune on the line.
If the Han Dynasty wins this battle, it will represent the initial stability of the new Han Dynasty's Guozuo, and it will mean that the world's structure has entered a new process.
If the big man loses this battle, then the big man with a weak foundation is likely to face huge risks in an instant.
With such consequences, how could Liu Bei, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, not feel pressured and worried?
In the past, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Bei acted calmly on the surface, but his heart was very turbulent.
Liu Bei, who is over sixty years old, has hardly had a good night's sleep during this period of time.
Under such pressure and uneasiness, Liu Bei has been waiting for the battle report from the front line today.
After deducing that the big man won today's battle, a huge sense of joy and excitement instantly enveloped Liu Bei's heart, making him laugh out loud.
The Battle of Hanzhong gave him the capital to become king.
Today's Battle of Xiangfan gave the Han Dynasty the capital to officially establish a foothold in the world.
Liu Bei felt that today was a double happiness. It was a great joy that Guan Yan's mother and child were safe during the birth, and it was a great joy that the Han army won the battle.
With joy in his heart, Liu Bei took a look at the courtyard and then led a group of courtiers towards the lobby of the general's mansion.
The messenger from outside Fancheng was waiting for him there.
….
Because of his inner joy, Liu Bei's legs and feet, which are getting stronger and stronger today, are much faster than before.
Even some of the young courtiers behind him could not keep up with his pace.
With quick steps, Liu Bei quickly arrived in the lobby.
After Liu Bei's figure appeared in the lobby, the messenger sent by Mi Yang quickly saluted Liu Bei and then informed Liu Bei of the first message he wanted to report.
As Liu Bei deduced, today's battle of Xiangfan was a great victory for the Han army.
Although the specific statistics of casualties and the number of prisoners have not yet been calculated, the mere fact that the Han army has captured Fancheng is enough to illustrate how badly the Wei army was defeated in this battle.
When the messenger told the people in the hall the news of the victory of the Han army, all the Han officials in the hall showed uncontrollable joy on their faces.
There were even tears in the eyes of some veterans who were loyal to the Han Dynasty.
Everyone knows what the Han army's victory in today's battle means.
This means that they are no longer the barbarian ministers who despise small countries as promoted by northern scholars.
After today, they will restore the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and they will be the most legal officials of the Han Dynasty in this world!
Just this change in identity is enough to make all the Han ministers feel extremely happy.
Not to mention that after the victory of the Han army in this battle, the far-reaching impact would be far beyond this.
Compared to the ministers who were crying with joy, Liu Bei, who had already made some inferences in his mind just now, although he could not hide the joy on his face at this time, his behavior at the moment was still somewhat calm.
It's just the ever-rising eyebrows between his eyebrows that reveal his truest state of mind at this moment.
But not long after, Liu Bei quickly realized that something was wrong.
According to what the messenger just said, he was sent by Zuo General Mi Yang.
However, it was the authority of the commander-in-chief of the three armies to report the details of the war to the emperor, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies was Guan Yu, so how could Mi Yang send a messenger to him?
With Mi Yang's character, it is impossible for him to do such an overreaching thing without special circumstances.
Liu Bei's mood was filled with joy and excitement just now, so he ignored this.
But as time went by, Liu Bei soon discovered this strange thing.
Then Liu Bei, who had been worried, began to have a bad speculation in his mind.
Although the bad speculation was only a hint when it first appeared.
But under Liu Bei's concern for Guan Yu, that bad speculation was quickly growing in Liu Bei's mind.
Liu Bei temporarily suppressed the strong joy in his heart. He looked at the messenger sent by Mi Yang with a somewhat surprised look and asked:
"Where is the General? Why didn't he send a messenger to me?"
Seeing Liu Bei taking the initiative to ask about Guan Yu, a look of panic appeared on the face of the messenger sent by Mi Yang.
It's just that he remembered Mi Yang's instructions and never dared to tell the second piece of news he wanted to report in front of everyone.
The panic on the messenger's face was captured by the keen Liu Bei.
After seeing this expression on the messenger, Liu Bei became increasingly uneasy.
….
But Liu Bei also knew what the messenger was worried about. He immediately said to the messenger: "Everyone here is a loyal minister. You can report what you know truthfully."
After Liu Bei said this, the messenger sent by Mi Yang seemed to be unable to bear the panic in his heart anymore.
He immediately knelt down to Liu Bei, then kowtowed to Liu Bei and said:
"After entering Fancheng, the general fainted in the general's mansion!"
When the messenger said this, there was already a cry in his words.
When Liu Bei and all the Han ministers present heard what the messenger said, their expressions changed drastically.
Especially after Liu Bei learned that the most disturbing speculation in his heart came true, his whole body seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and he stood frozen on the spot for an instant.
But as the messenger's cries became louder and louder, Liu Bei's thoughts were quickly returning.
When Liu Bei's thoughts returned, a strong look of worry appeared on his face.
Like a tiger whose family was hurt, he quickly rushed to the messenger with frightening power.
After rushing to the messenger, Liu Bei grabbed the messenger's collar and asked him anxiously: "How is the general's health? Why did he faint?"
Liu Bei, who was worried about Guan Yu, kept repeating this question to the messenger, but the messenger was just an ordinary messenger, how could he possibly answer Liu Bei's questions?
But Liu Bei actually knew the answer himself.
Yes, it's just that he doesn't want to accept that answer now.
Under Liu Bei's continuous questioning, the messenger's whole body was so frightened that he couldn't stop trembling.
He could only keep answering what Mi Yang asked him to convey to Guan Yu before he fainted: "Your Majesty, I want to see him."
After hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei immediately released his hands holding the messenger's collar.
He stood up quickly, but because he was too excited and moved too fast, after Liu Bei stood up, his body staggered a few steps back.
Fortunately, Fei Yi behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Bei's body.
After his body was stabilized by Fei Yi's actions, Liu Bei looked at Fei Yi eagerly and said:
"Prepare the ship! Prepare the ship! I am going to Fancheng."
Liu Bei's words were full of impatient tone.
After Fei Yi heard Liu Bei's imperial edict, although he knew that the emperor had complicated etiquette when traveling, he would not mention it to Liu Bei as long as he was not a fool.

So after he let go of Liu Bei's body, he bowed respectfully to Liu Bei and prepared to leave.
But just when Fei Yi was about to leave, Liu Bei issued another order to Fei Yi:
"Take General Zuo's son and go with me."
When Liu Bei's order came out, Fei Yi was stunned, but soon he walked out of the lobby again.
Zuo General Mi Yang's eldest son has just been born, so His Majesty is so anxious to take him to see the general. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Fei Yi's thoughts also fell into the hearts of all Han Chen present.
….
Soon after, under Fei Yi's arrangement, a team of over a hundred people, led by Liu Bei himself, quickly came out of Xiangyang City, and then galloped towards Fancheng.
Not long after Liu Bei left Xiangyang City, news of the Han army's victory was spreading throughout Xiangyang City at an extremely fast speed.
Many details of the battle between the two armies in the Battle of Xiangfan began to spread in Xiangyang City.
While this phenomenon greatly inspired the soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang City, it also spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
...
Fancheng was not far from Xiangyang, and in a hurry, Liu Bei, who was covered in dust, arrived at the general's residence in Fancheng within a few hours.
It was just that it was already afternoon when Liu Bei received the news, so when Liu Bei and his party arrived in Fancheng, the sky was slowly getting dark.
When darkness gradually enveloped Fancheng, the Han army, which had just taken over Fancheng, lit torches everywhere in the city, illuminating the city to a certain extent.
There are also many groups of Han troops constantly patrolling various important places in Fancheng.
This series of measures ensured the safety of Fancheng.
After all, Fancheng had just fallen into the arms of the Han army not a day ago. In order to prevent some Wei soldiers left in the city from causing trouble, Mi Yang made those arrangements.
Under Mi Yang's arrangements, order in Fancheng was quickly restored.
This was not the first time Liu Bei came to Fancheng. When he was attached to Liu Biao's subordinates, although at first his sphere of influence was only Xinye.
But in the later period, he also briefly stationed troops in Fancheng.
He was very familiar with everything in Fancheng.
What's more, before Liu Bei entered the city, there were people waiting for him outside the city that Mi Yang had arranged earlier.
So after Liu Bei entered the city, he soon came to Guan Yu's bedroom in the Lieutenant General's Mansion in Fancheng, led by Mi Yang's bodyguard.
But compared to the fact that there were only a few lights everywhere in Fan City, the General's Mansion where many Han generals were gathered at this moment seemed to be very brightly lit.
Under good lighting, when Liu Bei arrived outside Guan Yu's dormitory, he could clearly see the Han generals present at a glance.
Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Fu Wei, Zhang Yi and so on.
Except for some Han generals guarding Fancheng, most of the Han generals who participated in the battle of Xiangfan today gathered outside Guan Yu's dormitory.
Because they were worried about Guan Yu's condition, these Han generals had not even replaced the blood-stained armor they had fought so hard today.
So when Liu Bei came outside Guan Yu's bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of blood in his nose.
Under the illumination of the fire, Liu Bei looked at the generals who fought bloody battles for him today, with a soft look in his eyes.
When all the generals saw Liu Bei arriving at such a fast speed, their faces showed surprise and they immediately saluted Liu Bei.
But Liu Bei, who was worried about Guan Yu's condition, didn't pay attention to them. He just waved his hands casually to avoid the courtesy of the Han generals, and then strode into Guan Yu's dormitory.
When Liu Bei entered Guan Yu's bedroom with an anxious look on his face, his nose was instantly enveloped by the strong smell of herbs in the room.
The lights in the room are not as bright as outside.
….
So after Liu Bei entered the room, the first thing he saw under the dim light was Mi Yang who was discussing Guan Yu's condition with many doctors.
What he saw next was Zhang Fei, who was holding a bowl of soup and blowing hot air anxiously.
After seeing the figures of these two people, Liu Bei's eyes naturally flowed to the bed where Guan Yu was.
With the help of the dim light, he saw a very familiar figure.
Seeing Guan Yu, who had been lively and vigorous in front of him a few days ago, now lying motionless on the bed, Liu Bei's eyes were instantly soaked with tears.
He quickly walked forward to Guan Yu's bed, and then called Guan Yu softly:
"Second brother, second brother."
At Liu Bei's call, Guan Yu, who had not been deeply asleep on the bed, immediately woke up.
And when he opened his eyes, the first person he saw was his brother Liu Bei, whom he had been waiting for.
Seeing Liu Bei's arrival, a smile appeared on Guan Yu's pale face.
He struggled to sit up from the bed, but Guan Yu's actions frightened Liu Bei.
At this moment, he has completely forgotten his identity as the emperor of Han Dynasty. At this moment, he only regards himself as an elder brother who cares about his younger brother.
Liu Bei quickly leaned over to support Guan Yu's body, allowing him to lean smoothly against the edge of the bed.
Then he sat down next to Guan Yu's bed and looked at Guan Yu's expression with a very worried expression.
At this time, Mi Yang and Zhang Fei also discovered Liu Bei's arrival.
After Guan Yu sat down, he looked at Liu Bei in front of him and said to Liu Bei in a proud tone:
"Brother, I won."
"I finally won Fancheng for you."
These two sentences were what Guan Yu wanted to say to Liu Bei as early as the first battle between Xiangfan and Xiangfan.
It is a pity that Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng due to Sun Quan's sneak attack in history, leaving him full of resentment and dying before he could say these two sentences.
In contemporary history, although Guan Yu did not defeat Maicheng.
But he still did not defeat Cao Wei's army, and he still did not capture Fancheng for Liu Bei, so he had no chance to say these two sentences.
But now, he has enough confidence to say these two sentences, what he has always wanted to say to Liu Bei.
After hearing that Guan Yu fell ill, the first words he said to him were this, and a huge sadness instantly filled Liu Bei's heart.
Even if he lost, how could he blame him?
