Liu Yong wanted to take the opportunity to leave Dong He behind and take him directly under his command.

With Dong He's knowledge, how could he not know Liu Yong's thoughts, but he refused without thinking about it: "He is a shallow learner, how dare you show ugliness in front of the general, I better leave." ”

Dong He turned around and left, Liu Yong hurriedly said: "Mr. is really humble. I heard that Mr. is from Nanjun, speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers in Jingzhou, even if we don't ask for teaching, we can always talk about the old when we meet in other places. ”

In short, Liu Yong is looking for all kinds of excuses, and he has to keep Dong He.

It's just that Liu Yong is so gracious, but Dong He's heart is as strong as iron: "I remember General Liu's love for me." It's just that I, as an envoy, if I abandon Duke Liu and leave, won't I be ridiculed by the world, and I hope that General Liu can understand my difficulties. ”

Dong He's meaning should be to imply that he has the heart of obedience, but he has a mission, and he is unwilling to betray Liu Zhang in this way.

At this moment, a sergeant came to report: "My lord, General Zhao Yun has come with 40,000 horses, and he is now stationed ten miles east of the city, and General Zhao is asking for a meeting outside the camp. ”

"Zilong? Please! Liu Yong was overjoyed, this must have been the next straw that broke the camel's back. Liu Zhang has to descend if he doesn't fall.

Dong He, who was next to him, changed his face when he heard this, and sighed softly, as if he hadn't heard it.

Liu Yong looked at everything in his eyes and looked at Dong He, in this case, the twisted melon is not sweet, and it is too much to woo, maybe it will backfire, so it is better to go with the flow, so he smiled regretfully: "Mr. Youzai is high-spirited, which is really admired by Liu." Then I won't be embarrassed, but fortunately, I will have the opportunity to ask Mr. for advice in the future. ”

Hearing this, Dong Hechang breathed a sigh of relief, his face was solemn, and finally showed a smile, and after saying "I hope so", he turned around and walked away, and there was a silver-armored general at the door, standing majestically and majestically. Dong Hezhi was Zhao Yun, nodded slightly and left.

After Dong He left, Fa Zheng immediately came in from outside the big tent, everything just now, he had heard it clearly outside, and when he saw Dong He leaving, he looked relaxed, obviously Liu Yong's goal had been achieved, and this Dong He was about to become another capable minister under the lord.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, and another great talent!"

Looking at Fa Zheng's congratulatory appearance, Liu Yong really wanted to stuff him to Kou Feng and beat him up, but he was happy today, so he didn't see it.

"Xiaozhi, with your understanding of Liu Zhang, how will he choose in the end?"

Liu Yong looked at Fa Zheng and asked, although in history, Liu Zhang finally chose to go out of the city and surrender, but this time, he didn't dare to guarantee that Liu Zhang would make the same choice.

Fa Zheng frowned and thought for a while: "Liu Zhang, this person has always been a soft bone, but now that the soldiers are pressing, he can't help but surrender." However, Liu Zhang is a prince after all, and he surrenders easily, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make the last dying struggle. Therefore, please send an order to the lord, and the battalions must be on guard just in case. ”

Liu Yong nodded, and then ordered Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Yun, who had just arrived, and all the leading generals not to mention it.

Liu Yong walked out of the tent, raised his eyes and looked at Chengdu with dark clouds pressing down on the city, his sword eyebrows were like a blade, and he muttered in his mouth: "Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, I hope you can recognize the reality, don't toast and don't eat and drink, and force me to be ruthless......"

Chengdu South Gate.

At the head of the city, Liu Zhang glanced up at the gloomy sky, and the huge clouds were like mountains about to collapse, as if they might be pressed down at any time. He let out a long sigh, his mood as oppressive as the sky.

From noon to now, Liu Zhang has been blowing the wind in this city for most of the day, and I don't know how many times he has looked at the enemy camp outside the city, trying to find the shadow of Dong He's return.

Again and again, only disappointment. He was already desperate, and he also saw that Dong He would inevitably betray him like Li Yan and others, but he still wanted to see the result and look forward to a hope that might not exist.

From Dong He's departure to the present, in fact, only one day has passed, but for Liu Zhang, it seems that he is as tormented as a year.

He is not the only one who is anxious.

A cadre of non-commissioned officers in Yizhou was anxiously waiting for Dong He to come back with news. Whether it is war or peace, it is all in Dong He's mission.

"Father, Dong Youzai hasn't come back yet, could it be that he, like Xu Jing, took the opportunity to betray his father?" The second son, Liu Xiantie, shouted with a blue face, his tone full of anger.

"Hugh is nonsense!"

Liu Yan's words were interrupted by Liu Zhang, his voice was not loud, but his tone was unquestionable: "Before there is a result, don't jump to conclusions!" ”

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed person on the head of the city shouted: "It's Dong County Order, Dong County Order is back." ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly put his hand on the canopy and looked into the distance, only to see that several horsemen were coming from the direction of the enemy, and it was really Dong He.

When Dong He entered the city, Liu Zhang led everyone to greet him, wanting to ask what the result of the envoy was, but Dong He only said lightly: "It's not appropriate to talk here, lord, let's go back to the state mansion." ”

One sentence made the hearts of many officials around him immediately feel cold. If Dong He came back with good news, he would naturally choose to say it in public, so as to encourage the hearts of the depressed people. Now that he deliberately avoids people's eyes and ears, so most of the people he brings back are bad news.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and talk slowly." Liu Zhang didn't seem to notice it at all, and went home with Dong He.

Entering the main hall, the civil and military gathered, although Liu Zhang knew the answer, he still couldn't wait to ask: "Youzai, how did Liu Yong reply, is he willing to withdraw his troops?" ”

Dong He looked at Liu Zhang's eyes full of hope and a little timid, and he really couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, but after hesitating for a moment, he still could only say truthfully: "General Liu said that this time he will not take Yizhou, and he will not give up." ”

A word, like a thousand catties of sticks, hit Liu Zhang's head heavily. This embarrassed lord of Yizhou only felt dizzy, and his body shook and was about to fall, this is the subsequent sentence!

"My lord."

"Father."

Liu Xun, Liu Xian and the left and right servants were startled, and hurriedly rushed forward to support Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang sat down staggered under the support of everyone, and after a moment of dizziness, he gradually regained his senses, he waved his hand, and weakly pushed away a pair of supporting hands.

Seeing that Liu Zhang's spirit had improved slightly, Dong He told everything before and after, but omitted Liu Yong's retention of him.

Qian Zhou stepped forward and said: "Lord, as Zhou expected before, then Liu Che will not withdraw his troops." Fortunately, Liu Cheqi still cared about the feelings of the same clan, and promised to use the land of the six counties of the lord as a food. At this time, Kaesong surrendered, and the lord can still enjoy the glory and wealth for generations, which is also a blessing in misfortune, and the lord can no longer hesitate. ”
