"Lift me up." Liu Yong suddenly turned over and wanted to sit up.

The two palace maids guarding in front of the dragon couch screamed in surprise and hurriedly rushed over to hold his hand.

"Mr. Huang wants His Majesty to rest in peace, and His Majesty must not move without permission."

Liu Yong held the palace maid's hand hard, and the arrow wound on his back was like a tear, as if even the bones had been shattered. He calmed down slightly, and when the pain subsided slightly, he exhaled.

"Send someone to the city to check the situation quickly, and if the enemy army has not attacked, you can order General Qi Fang to come here to see me. In addition, Lord Deng Yi was asked to come to the palace to discuss state affairs. Liu Yong commanded.

"Your Majesty will wait for a while, and the slave and maid will go to deliver a decree asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send someone to invite the two adults." A palace maid promised to leave, but was stopped by Liu Yong.

"If we wait for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draw up a holy decree, won't we miss a major event?"

The palace maid was a little puzzled, in the past, no matter what the emperor had, didn't he have to first draft the decree of the Internal Affairs Office before it could be implemented? Even if the minister is summoned to the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must send someone to do it.

"In such a critical moment, there is no need to follow so many rituals." Liu Yong patted the brocade quilt on his body vigorously, "I will order you to go outside the palace gate quickly, and ask the forbidden army guards to invite General Qi Fang and Lord Deng Yi, don't delay." ”

"The slave obeys." The palace maid saw Liu Yong's anxious mood, hurriedly agreed, and walked out as fast as she could.

"Help me go sit outside." Liu Yong instructed another palace maid.

"Your Majesty has just applied the medicine, so it is not appropriate to move lightly." The palace maid reminded in a low voice.

Liu Yong no longer paid attention to her words and struggled to get out of bed.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the palace gate, and Qi Fang walked quickly into the palace with the sword of the first emperor in hand.

"By Your Majesty's order, the slaves and maids have been waiting for General Qi here for a long time." Seeing Qi Fang come in, the palace maid hurriedly walked over and saluted, "Your Majesty is waiting for General Qi in Yongtai Palace." ”

Qi Fang nodded.

Cao Wei's army outside the city had only launched two attacks before dawn, and now, with almost no shadow of Cao Wei's soldiers under the city, Qi Fang believed that his commander Deng Ai must be pregnant with some huge conspiracy, and perhaps a more fierce siege operation was about to begin.

It must be a mere 30,000 imperial forbidden troops against a 100,000 tiger and wolf army outside the city, and the soldiers are obviously cowardly, and the mobilization of troops and horses is also quite stretched.

"As General Qi said, this city should not be defended for a long time?" Liu Yong didn't dare to lean on the back of the chair with his back, propped his hands on the dragon case in front of him, and stared at Qi Fang with burning eyes, "Does General Qi have a good plan to teach me?" ”

"Your Majesty." Qi Fang nodded and said, "It's better to take the initiative to attack than to wait for death, Chen Zheng wants to take more than a thousand soldiers out of the city tonight to sneak attack the enemy camp, or open a way to survive." Later, he sent people to Jiangdong to ask for troops, although Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, was old, but he knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and took care of the good of the alliance in the past. If you are willing to send troops to rescue, the danger of my Shu Han can be solved. ”

Liu Yong groaned.

"Deng Ai is well versed in the way of using troops, I am afraid that General Qi's sneak attack will be difficult to succeed, if there is a mistake, it is okay to lose some soldiers, but I am afraid that the three armies will be afraid of war, which will make me more passive. Besides, since the death of Zhuge Wuhou, there has been no contact between my Shu Han and Eastern Wu for many years, how can Sun Quan easily send troops? ”

Qi Fang didn't expect Liu Yong to keep such a calm head at this time, and couldn't help but secretly raise a thumbs up.

"In Your Majesty's opinion......"

Liu Yong showed a mysterious smile on his face, beckoned to Qi Fang, and motioned for him to come to him.

"Where did Your Majesty get the news?" After Qi Fang listened to Liu Yong's words, he was puzzled.

"General Qi just has to act according to the plan." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Obey." Qi Fang's face also showed a touch of joy.

"Back to Your Majesty, I will see you outside the palace gate of Lord Deng Yi." At this time, a eunuch who was guarding outside ran in and reported.

Liu Yongyi waved his hand and asked Qi Fang to leave through the back door.

"Before this matter is completed, you must not reveal the slightest bit of information."

"Wechen knows." Qi Fang bowed and said, led by a palace maid, and went out through the back door.

As soon as Qi Fang's figure disappeared, Deng Yi in the imperial history stepped in.

Liu Yong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and while deliberately panting heavily, he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

Liu Yong hadn't wanted Deng Yi, who was kneeling in front of him, to get up for a long time, and he didn't speak for a long time, just staring at his arched back gloomily.

"Your Majesty's arrow wound has not healed, it is not appropriate to move lightly, recruit the old minister into the palace, I don't know what instructions there are?" Deng Yi hadn't heard Liu Yong's voice for a long time, peeked up, and just met Liu Yong's cold gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.

After a long time, only a long sigh was heard.

"Deng Aiqing is my minister of Shu Han, and when the first emperor was there, he often praised Aiqing's ability. Now, my Shu Han rivers and mountains are already in danger, and I know that it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven, so I am willing to follow the views of the people and open the city to surrender. Today, I want Aiqing to enter the palace, draft the table on behalf of me, and send people to Cao Wei's camp, I don't know if Deng Aiqing is willing to do it for me? ”

Deng Yi was taken aback.

The scene of Liu Yongdang's killing of Li Huan and others in the palace last night is still vivid, and his heroic posture of personally going to the city to resist the enemy is still in the city, why did he say such depressing words in a blink of an eye?

However, in his impression, the emperor was originally like this.

"The old minister dares to ask Your Majesty, is this the result of Your Majesty's careful consideration?" Deng Yi thought for a moment and asked.

Liu Yong deliberately pondered again for a long time.

"I can't give up the foundation created by the first emperor, but the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, my arrow wound is quite serious, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold for a long time, at that time, it will be necessary to affect the people in the city and the wise men in my Shu, so I have to do it as a last resort. If Deng Aiqing refuses to help me, I will appoint someone else and will never force it. ”

Deng Yi was still thinking about the truth of Liu Yong's words.

"Since Your Majesty has made a decision, and you look so highly up to the old minister, the old minister dares to disobey his orders, so he will make a table on behalf of His Majesty." Deng Yi said.

"Okay." Liu Yong nodded, called the eunuch on duty, and instructed him to take Deng Yi to the Internal Affairs Office to draft the surrender letter, while he lay on the dragon case, making a tired appearance.

"The old minister retired." Deng Yi got up.

Liu Yong waved his hand without raising his head, and said weakly, "After Deng Aiqing finishes drafting, there is no need for me to read the imperial review, just send someone out of the city and present Deng Ai's reply in time." ”

Deng Yi's eyes rolled a few times.

"The old minister obeys."

Seeing Deng Yi leaving, Liu Yongqiang endured the pain and stood up, with a faint smile on his face.

Success or failure is in this move, his own strategy can deceive the ministers in the city, can he deceive Deng Ai outside the city, and what is the fate of Shu Han?

"Your Majesty doesn't listen to the words of the imperial doctor like this, and walks around at will, if the Queen Mother knows, you need to blame the slave maid and others." A palace maid supported Liu Yong hard, and she didn't forget to complain.

Liu Yong smiled silently.

"The slave maid has something to mention to His Majesty, but His Majesty must promise that he will not be angry after hearing it." The palace maid has probably followed Liu Chan for a long time, and she usually likes Liu Chan very much, and she speaks very casually.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Yong said.

The palace maid hesitated.

What she said was about Mr. Huang's poisoning, and before the words fell, she only heard a "snap", and Liu Yong kicked over the table in front of her.
