Liu Chan was born in Xinye, Jingzhou, in the winter of the 13th year of Jian'an. At that time, Jingzhou was on the eve of great changes.

The next year, Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 to conquer Jingzhou southward.

At that time, Liu Biao died of illness, and Liu Cong, Liu Biao's second son, succeeded to the throne and sent envoys to surrender to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei stationed his troops in Fancheng to resist Cao's army going south. He didn't know that Liu Cong had surrendered. He didn't know the situation until he arrived in Wancheng.

After knowing the situation, he immediately led his army to retreat south, thinking of leading troops to Jiangling to defend Cao's army.

When they arrived in Dangyang, more than 100,000 people spontaneously followed Liu Bei, carrying thousands of vehicles and traveling more than ten miles a day.

After such a slow march, Liu Bei's army was finally caught up in Dangyang by 5,000 cavalry led by Cao Cao himself.

At that time, Liu Bei could have left behind more than 100,000 people and marched quickly to lead the army to occupy Jiangling.

Jiangling is a prosperous place in Jingzhou, and there are countless grain, grass and armors in the city. With Jiangling, Liu Bei has enough capital to gradually unify Jingzhou.

Cao Cao was worried that Liu Bei would occupy Jiangling, so he led his cavalry in pursuit.

But for the sake of the safety of the people, Liu Bei couldn't bear to abandon them.

After Cao Cao's 5,000 cavalry troops pursued Liu Bei's army, in order to protect the people, Liu Bei's army could not move at all.

This was caught by Cao Cao, who was good at seizing opportunities. Cao Cao did not care about the life and death of the people, so Liu Bei's army was almost wiped out in that battle. Liu Bei led Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and dozens of others to escape.

If Liu Bei had followed the advice and abandoned the people, Jiangling would have been in his pocket.

Even if he cannot capture Jiangling, he will not end up with his entire army annihilated.

During the Battle of Dangyang, Liu Bei's two daughters were captured by Cao Cao's general Cao Chun, and even the infant Liu Chan fell into the rebellion.

Fortunately, with Zhao Yun's desperate guard, Liu Chan had a near-miss in the end.

Between the 14th year of Jian'an and the 17th year of Jian'an, Liu Chan gradually grew up and began to have some ability to remember things.

But at that time, Liu Bei was busy in alliance with Sun Quan and conquered Jingzhou to establish a base, while Liu Chan followed Liu Bei all the way south and north.

In the 17th year of Later Jian'an, when Liu Chan was five years old, he was almost taken back to Jiangdong by Liu Bei's step-wife, Mrs. Sun.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun intercepted the river and seized the ship in time, preventing Liu Chan from being put in danger and becoming a hostage.

But this incident left a deep impression on Liu Chan, who was young at that time.

In the 19th year of Jian'an, when Liu Chan was seven years old, Liu Bei took him to Chengdu after pacifying Yizhou, and his life gradually became stable.

These past events undoubtedly planted some seeds of surprise and hesitation in Liu Chan's heart.

Because of these seeds, Liu Chan developed a benevolent and weak character since he was a child, and had no independent opinions and was not arbitrary enough.

Coupled with his childhood experiences, Liu Chan developed the habit of relying on others.

After Liu Chan arrived in Chengdu, he was in a new environment. Because he lacked a sense of security, he had a long period of discomfort.

Most of his close friends such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others are busy with official duties and cannot always accompany him in the courtyard.

As for Liu Chan's new stepmother, Mrs. Wu, Liu Bei had just welcomed her as his stepmother in order to stabilize the people of Yizhou.

Liu Bei didn't have much affection for the Wu family to begin with, not to mention having the example of his previous stepwife Sun, so Liu Bei was not completely confident in leaving Liu Chan to the Wu family's upbringing.

Under this situation, Mi Yang, who was about the same age as Liu Chan and often accompanied Liu Bei at that time, took on a large part of the responsibility of accompanying Liu Chan.

Mi Yang's aunt is Liu Bei's wife. As the mother of Liu Bei's wife, Mi Yang is a serious relative of Liu Bei and is nominally Liu Chan's cousin.

In addition, Mi Yang's aunt Mi died to save Liu Chan. With this kind of kindness, Liu Bei felt more at ease to let Mi Yang accompany Liu Chan.

During that time, Mi Yang studied with Liu Chan during the day and roomed with him at night. He spent a full five years with Liu Chan.

During those five years when Liu Chan was hesitant and restless, it was Mi Yang who stayed with Liu Chan day and night.

During the five years when Liu Chan's character and mind gradually matured, it was Mi Yang who, as his cousin, took care of and mentored Liu Chan.

After five years of companionship, Liu Chan's feelings for Mi Yang were not ordinary deep.

For Liu Chan, compared to his two younger brothers Liu Yong and Liu Li, who were born in recent years, Mi Yangcai is more like his relative.

So the moment Liu Chan saw Mi Yang returning, the joy on his face could hardly be concealed.

When Liu Chan came to Mi Yang, he was about to bow to Mi Yang as before.

But his behavior was stopped by Mi Yang who reacted faster.

After stopping him, Mi Yang took the lead in bowing to Liu Chan and said: "I pay my respects to the crown prince."

After Mi Yang bowed to Liu Chan, Mi Yang turned to Yi Ji and bowed again: "Well, Master Yi."

Yi Ji was Liu Chan's teacher, and Mi Yang was Liu Chan's former reading companion. Naturally, Yi Ji also taught Mi Yang.

This scene of Mi Yang fell in Yi Ji's eyes, making him nod slightly.

Mi Yang has the style of an Anhan general. Although he has great achievements, he does not rely on pampering.

After Yi Ji bowed to Mi Yang, he stood up slowly, bowed slightly to Mi Yang, and then he straightened his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Anyone who is not blind can see that after Mi Yang's arrival, Liu Chan no longer had the intention to study.

In this case, it is better to take the initiative to give Liu Chan a holiday and let him and Mi Yang catch up on the past.

After Yi Ji left, Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked with puzzled eyes: "Why didn't my cousin let me salute you just now?"

"Before my cousin left Chengdu, Zen took the initiative to salute my cousin."

Facing Liu Chan's question and looking at her cousin who had grown a lot taller, Mi Yang smiled and replied:

"Before, the heir was just the prince's son and had no title. When we interact with each other, the elder and the younger take precedence."

"But the heir is now the prince, and the prince is half a king. How can a king salute his ministers?"

In ancient times, men were crowned when they were twenty, which represented adulthood, and they were given the title only after they reached adulthood.

But in fact, many people do not acquire handwriting after adulthood.

Choosing a name for your nephew in advance is a good hope that your nephew will grow up quickly.

Mi Yang's answer made Liu Chan frown slightly, but he didn't think much about it.

After Mi Yang answered, Liu Chan pulled Mi Yang's sleeves and came to his inner hall because his height had not yet fully grown.

Chongwen Hall is not only the place where Liu Chan studied, but also his residence.

After taking Mi Yang into the inner hall, Liu Chan waved his hand and dismissed all the waiters in the inner hall.

Liu Chan asked Mi Yang to sit down in front of the bookcase in the inner hall, and then he ran to the bookshelf next to his bed and took down a brocade box from the top.

Liu Chan held the brocade box and came to sit in front of Mi Yang with a mysterious look on his face.

He placed the brocade box on the desk and pushed it in front of Mi Yang. Then he opened the brocade box and revealed a book inside.

A proud look appeared on his face and he said to Mi Yang: "Before my cousin left for Jingzhou the year before last, he lamented in front of me that after leaving Chengdu, he could no longer listen to the teachings of famous teachers."

"My cousin's words were remembered in my heart at that time."

"Later, after my cousin left, whenever famous teachers taught me scriptures, I would record their opinions verbatim."

"What I thought was that although my cousin is no longer in Chengdu, I have recorded the teachings and insights of those famous teachers.

In this way, when my cousin comes back and sees the words I recorded, he can probably listen to them live."

"Under my long-term record, without realizing it, the teachings and insights of those famous teachers have actually filled a book."

"If my cousin doesn't come back, I will have to record it again."

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan took out the book and opened it page by page for Mi Yang to read.

Looking at the dense but neat handwriting on that book, Mi Yang couldn't help but recall the image of Liu Chan biting the tip of his pen and writing furiously under the dim light.

Thinking of this scene, a warm smile appeared on Mi Yang's lips.

Many people in later generations hated Liu Chan and thought that he had ruined the foundation that Liu Bei had worked so hard to build.

Liu Chan is not a qualified king in troubled times, but when it comes to the people he relies on, he is not a ruthless tyrant either.

Mi Yang took the book from Liu Chan's hand and put it into his arms with joy on his face. He said to Liu Chan:

"Brother likes this gift very much, thank you sir."

Since Liu Chan dismissed all the servants, he certainly wanted to get along with Mi Yang as brothers.

The joy on Mi Yang's face was caught by Liu Chan. Seeing that the gift he carefully prepared for Mi Yang was liked by Mi Yang, Liu Chan was also very happy.

Previously, in order to express his gratitude to Zhuge Liang for his teachings and mentorship, he specially drew a portrait of Zhuge Liang and gave it to Zhuge Liang. At that time, he was so happy to receive Zhuge Liang's praise.

After Mi Yang accepted his gift, Liu Chan immediately asked about Mi Yang's deeds in Jingzhou.

Mi Yang's achievements in Jingzhou had already spread throughout Chengdu. When Liu Chan heard the news for the first time, his inner excitement was beyond words.

It seems that he has achieved such a success.

Liu Chan originally wanted to write a poem to praise his cousin's great achievements, but unfortunately, it has been so long and he, with his poor literary talent, has not yet finished the poem.

However, this small episode did not affect Mi Yang's tall image in Liu Chan's heart.

Young people often admire heroes.
