Dong He's coming Liu Yong was not surprised, but he didn't know the specific person in advance, and Fa Zheng next to him smiled slightly: "Dong Youzai came, but he did his best, if the lord Jinkou opened slightly, and showed his sincerity a little, I believe that this Dong He can be used by the lord." ”

Fa Zheng has always been above the top, but today Dong He is not belittled, it seems that this Dong He really has some ability, and in history, Dong He can be recognized by Zhuge Liang in the hands of Liu Bei, and the official residence is in charge of the army, and Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi are listed as "Four Ying", it seems that it is indeed extraordinary, but it is a usable talent.

Dong He entered the big tent, and saw a handsome young man sitting on the main seat, with moon eyebrows and starry eyes, although his body was thin but he did not lose his bearing, he concluded that it was Liu Yong, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Yizhou Mu Mu ordered Dong He to see Liu Che riding in Chengdu." ”

"Mr. Baby, hurry up and excuse me."

Liu Yong stepped forward to help Dong He up and invited Dong He to take a seat, both in terms of attitude and hospitality specifications, he was very enthusiastic.

Liu Yong is so polite to Dong He, on the one hand, he has a heart for talent, and on the other hand, when he talked about the characters in Shu with Zhang Song, he reminded him, saying that Liu Zhang has a virtuous person named Dong He, if he takes Yizhou, this person will be of great use in the future, and he must be treated well.

If you talk about this Dong He, it is very different from other Yizhou people. This person is originally from Zhijiang, Nanjun, Jingzhou, but his ancestors were originally from Jiangzhou, Ba County, Yizhou, and there are two branches with the Dong family in Yiyang. In the early years of Jian'an, Dong He moved his family west, left Nanjun and came to Yizhou, served as an official under Liu Zhang, and has been in Chengdu Order.

This means that Dong He's ancestral home is Yizhou, but he was born in Jingzhou, and he has served as an official in Jingzhou and as an official under Liu Zhang, so it can be said that he is half Yizhou and half Jingzhou.

Liu Yong intends to use the Shu people to govern Shu, but in order to ensure the control of Yizhou, he can not completely hand over the military and political power of Yizhou to the pure Shu people, in the army, although he can use his own generals and other towns to guard the key points, but in political affairs, his own ministers have not been under his command for too long, and the use of Jingzhou people to take charge of Yizhou government affairs is itself contrary to his own policy of governing Shu, which is bound to cause the disgust of the Shu people.

Then, Dong He, who is half of Jingzhou's identity, has a special background and outstanding talent, which happens to be the best choice in Liu Yong's heart. Because of this, Liu Yong treats Dong He naturally more enthusiastically than ordinary Yizhou scholars.

Receiving such courtesy from Liu Yong, Dong He seemed a little flattered, but he did not relax because of this, and still dealt with it cautiously.

"My lord and General Liu are also of the same clan, because I was confused by others, I wanted to revise the Old Testament for a while, General Liu has a lot, and I hope to be able to read the friendship of the same clan, can I withdraw from the army and return to the east." After a few polite sentences, Dong He turned to the topic.

Dong He's "same clan" is to marry Liu Yong to the princess Liu Yi of Wannian, Liu Zhang and the Han Emperor Liu are of the same clan, Liu Yong is just a concubine, of course, it cannot be said to be the same clan, but according to the etiquette system, being a concubine is half a royal person, so he was pulled by Dong and pulled the relationship, and then there is the saying that the same surname in the world is a family, which is barely counted as "the same clan".

Liu Yong had already guessed his intention here, and when he heard this, he just smiled and drank tea, but did not respond.

Dong He hurriedly said: "As long as General Liu can ignore the past suspicions, my lord is willing to cede Jiangyang and Dongguanghan counties as compensation." ”

Liu Yong sneered, "The officials of Jiangyang and the second county of Dongguanghan County took the initiative to surrender to me, Liu Jiyu took these two counties that were not in his hands as compensation conditions, he has a really good abacus." ”

Liu Yong's response was also expected by Dong He, he had to say: "But I don't know how General Liu will withdraw his troops, my lord has a word first, as long as General Liu is willing to withdraw his troops, he can accept any conditions." ”

"Willing to accept anything? Is this true? Liu Yong smiled, knowing that it was Dong He who was quick to talk for a while, but he didn't think clearly.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yong's mouth, and he pretended to think for a long time, and said: "Since this is the case, then okay, if Liu Jiyu is willing to give up Shu County, I can consider retreating." ”

Dong He's expression changed suddenly.

Shu County is relative to Liu Zhang, like Wei County and Cao Cao, Danyang and Sun Quan, and like Nanjun is relative to Liu Yong. Chengdu County, Yizhou Thorn History Department, is under the jurisdiction of Shu County, if Liu Zhang cuts Shu County to Liu Yong, what is the difference between this and surrender.

Seeing Dong He's embarrassed look, Liu Yong laughed and said lightly: "I'm just joking, Mr. Youzai don't want to be surprised." ”

Dong He also knew in his heart that Liu Yong would not withdraw from the army, and his plan for Liu Zhang was just a little bit of a minister's responsibility.

At such a point, Liu Yong's meaning that has been made clear will never give up if he does not occupy Chengdu, Dong He had to sigh and arch his hand: "But I don't know how General Liu is willing to withdraw from the army, please make it clear." ”

Liu Yong no longer concealed it, and said: "Mr. Youzai must have heard that my army came from Jingzhou, and along the way, the county officials fell in despair, and in some places, the local heroes and people also killed the county order and took the initiative to open the city to greet them. It can be seen that Liu Jiyu has lost all his hearts, and I, Liu Yong, came to take Shu in accordance with the will of God and the people. Otherwise, where will those who kill officials and sacrifice the city be? ”

Liu Yong's words completely showed his thoughts and determination, and also made Dong He have nothing to say.

Speaking of this, Liu Yong's attitude is already very clear: if you don't take Yizhou, you will not give up!

In the face of Liu Yong's ultimatum words, Dong He looked helpless, and could only shake his head and sigh.

Liu Yong's expression became more and more peaceful, and he smiled: "I must take Yizhou, but Liu Jiyu is my kindred in the end, and this affection still needs to be taken into account." If Liu Jiyu can take the initiative to open the city and surrender, I will not only ensure his safety, but also use the six counties as his food town, and his father and son will enjoy glory and wealth forever for generations to come. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of his benevolence and righteousness. ”

The food of the six counties has almost reached the standard of the prince's fiefdom, and with the current disadvantageous situation of Liu Zhang, Liu Yong can indeed be called his "benevolence and righteousness".

At this time, Dong He knew that there was no need to talk about it anymore, so he got up listlessly and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, then I will leave and return to the city, and General Liu's words must be conveyed to my lord." Whether it is war or surrender depends on how our Lord decides. ”

"Mr. Young, slow down."

Just when Dong He was about to say goodbye and leave, Liu Yong hurriedly got up and stopped him, and said sincerely: "Mr. Youzai is talented and well-versed in ancient and modern times, and I have a lot of academic matters that I want to ask Mr. Sir might as well stay in my camp, and as for the matter of passing the word, the retinue can do it for you. ”
