Speaking of this, Liu Feng's attitude is already very clear: if he does not take Yizhou, he will not give up.

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

Liu Feng's expression became more and more peaceful, and he smiled faintly: "I must take Yizhou, but Liu Jiyu is my fellow clansman, and this bit of 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 my Liu Feng's benevolence to him. ”

The food yi of the six counties has almost reached the standard of the prince's fiefdom, and with the current disadvantageous situation of Liu Zhang, Liu Feng 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 convey General Liu's words to my lord." Whether it is war or surrender can only depend on how our Lord decides. ”

"Mr. Young, slow down."

Just as Dong He was about to say goodbye and leave, Liu Feng hurriedly got up and stopped him, and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Youzai is talented and knows the past and the present, 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. ”

Liu Feng wanted to take the opportunity to leave Dong He under his command.

With Dong He's knowledge, how could he not know Liu Feng's intentions, 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 Feng 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 Feng is looking for all kinds of excuses, and he has to keep Dong He.

It's just that Liu Feng is so enthusiastic, but Dong He's heart is as strong as iron.

"I remember General Liu's great 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.

Thinking that although Xu Jing is a contemporary celebrity, Liu Zhang treats him well, but he made a move to escape from the city, compared to Dong He's conscientiousness, which really makes Liu Feng admire.

Speaking of which, even if Liu Feng has the heart to love talents, how can he keep them.

At that moment, Liu Feng said happily: "Mr. Youzai's high style and bright festival really make Liu admire." Okay, then I won't be strong, but fortunately, I came to say that Fang Chang will have the opportunity to ask Mr. for advice in the future. ”

Hearing this, Dong Hechang breathed a sigh of relief, his face was originally solemn, and finally showed a smile, and after saying "I hope so", he turned around and walked away.

After sending this Confucian away, Liu Feng immediately sent someone to send Huang Zhong to him.

After a while, the sound of calm footsteps sounded, and as soon as Huang Zhong stepped into the tent with his front foot, he shouted: "Lord, the siege of my army has ended, just wait for your words, and I can attack Chengdu in an instant." ”

"Hehe, the old general is out of the horse, of course it is not difficult to break the city."

Liu Feng praised Huang Zhong's pride, but said: "It's just that Chengdu Dingkou is more than 100,000, and it is a rich land in the world, I want to get this city intact, and it is best to force Liu Zhang to surrender." ”

Huang Zhong nodded slightly: "The lord's words are reasonable, but is Liu Zhang willing to surrender?" ”

In the past, Liu Zhang, the one in history, when the city was broken and Liu Bei's army surrounded Chengdu, he finally chose to surrender in Kaicheng, so Liu Feng has reason to believe that with the current situation, he will definitely help with the same choice.

It's just that Liu Feng's reason for confidence naturally can't be said to Huang Zhong.

"Liu Zhang has always been a soft bone, but now that the soldiers are pressing, he can't help but surrender."

Liu Feng's tone was quite affirmative, but there was no impetuous and smug look in his expression, and he said calmly: "But Liu Zhang is a prince after all, and he is easily disgraced, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make the last dying struggle." Therefore, please ask the old general to pass on the order, and the battalions must be on heightened alert, and we must not give the opponent any chance to take chances. ”

"Whoa!" Huang Zhong responded with indignation and walked out with a breeze.

Liu Feng 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......"

………………………… Chengdu South Gate.

At the head of the city, Liu Zhang looked 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.

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 Zhang scolded Liu Xian, and said with a firm expression: "I treat the young man well, and he will definitely not fail me." ”

Liu Zhang's sudden solemnity startled Liu Xian, and he couldn't figure out why his weak father would have such confidence in this matter.

Just when he was wondering, 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 a person and a rider coming from the direction of the enemy, it was really Dong He.

Under the great joy, Liu Zhang hurriedly went down to the city to greet him.

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

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of many of the surrounding servants immediately turned 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 notice it at all, and was full of expectations to return home with Dong He.

After entering the main hall, all the officials gathered, and Liu Zhang couldn't wait to ask: "Youzai, how did Liu Zhennan reply, is he willing to withdraw his troops?" ”

Dong He looked at Liu Zhang's hopeful eyes, and he really couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, but after hesitating for a moment, he still had to tell the truth.

"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.

The embarrassed lord of Yizhou only felt dizzy, and his body shook and was about to fall.

"My lord."

"Father."

Liu Xian and his 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, Qian Zhou stepped forward and said, "Lord, as I expected before, then Liu Zhennan will never withdraw his troops. Fortunately, Liu Zhennan still cared about the feelings of the same clan, and allowed 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. ”

"Surrender, surrender, if you dare to say surrender again, I will kill you with a sword!"

Qian Zhou's persuasion remarks annoyed Liu Xian, and he suddenly drew his sword and committed murder.

"Hugh is presumptuous!"

Liu Zhang snorted, stopped his impulsive son, shook his head and sighed: "My father and son have been in Shu for more than 20 years, and they have no kindness to the people. It is my foolishness that leads the wolf into the house, and the people donate their flesh and blood to the grass, and these are my sins. ”

Although all the ministers knew that Liu Zhang was weak and mediocre, and he complained a lot in private, when Liu Zhang blamed himself at this time, everyone's disdain and complaints about Zhang seemed to have dispersed along with Liu Zhang's heartfelt words of self-blame.

While speaking, Liu Zhang staggered to his feet, looking at this splendid hall, Liu Zhang's eyes were full of tears, and he sighed for a long time.

After a long sigh, Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "The people of Yizhou have been poisoned by this, and I, Liu Zhang, can live in this mansion with peace of mind, so it is better to surrender Kaicheng to appease the people." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh, and the big stone that was pressed on their chests finally fell to the ground because of Liu Zhang's words.

Perhaps, such an ending is doomed in the eyes of all, and only Liu Zhang saw through it at the last moment.

"Father, the foundation of Yizhou was laid down by my grandfather, how can I give it to people like this, I can't descend, I can't descend......"

Liu Yan was horrified when he heard this, howling and screaming, begging Liu Zhang to take back his life.

Liu Zhang was indifferent, he was really tired and didn't want to go through this physical and mental torment anymore.

Since he took over the position of Yizhou pastor, he has been suffering from the cracks.

There is Zhang Lu eyeing him outside, there are Dongzhou scholars who are arrogant and uncontrollable, and Yizhou scholars are complaining a lot, and now they are forced to come here by two fellow clans surnamed Liu, as a master of mediocre talent, Liu Zhang can no longer hold on.

As long as I can be a rich and noble farmer, I will no longer suffer from this inhuman sin, and I will take away the good inheritance.

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to persuade you anymore."

Liu Zhang's tone was quite resolute, he thought that there were still ministers who would cry and beg him to take back his life, but when Liu Zhang was extremely disappointed, except for the second son Liu Yan, no one persuaded him.

Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, it's a great irony for you, the lord, to think like this.

In despair, Liu Zhang did not hesitate any longer, and said silently: "Youzai, please go out of the city again and convey my intention of surrender to Liu Zhennan." ”
