"Xiao Guan doesn't want it, if you give Xiao Guan to me, I'm afraid the old general won't be able to explain to Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian when he goes back." Li Xinchen stood in front of the map and stretched out his finger, "But outside of Xiao Pass, all the northwest lands are so-and-so, so-and-so can give you three days to remove all the officials in the remaining cities, as for the local officials, they can choose to stay, and so-and-so will not deprive them of their official positions, and the army in the city will be disarmed and reorganized on the spot, if it is not a local, so-and-so will allow them to go home and will give them travel expenses and customs clearance documents." ”

Yu Yi was standing on the other side of the map, his face was blue and white. It's not because Li Xinchen's conditions make him feel humiliated - in fact, judging from the current situation, Li Xinchen is already very merciful to be able to offer such conditions. After all, now that Li Xinchen has actually controlled the northwest, there are only a few cities such as Anding left in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the cities.

People's minds changed, and at this time, it was obviously impossible for the Northern Zhou to continue to control the city across the vast rural areas controlled by Li Xinchen, and most of the officials and troops in the city were locals. Therefore, once Li Xinchen cut off the connection between several cities in the northwest and Guanzhong, and controlled most of their families outside the city, it would naturally be difficult for these people to maintain loyalty to the Northern Zhou. What's more, the general trend of the world is really here now, at least Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian don't have an advantage now!

So Li Xinchen's request is not too much.

At this point, Yu Yi looked at Li Xinchen with some suspicion, it stands to reason that this guy is also a lion's mouth-opening character, why is he so cautious this time?

Li Xinchen actually has no hardships of his own, his foundation in the northwest is too weak, and he really relies on local families such as the Anding Niu family and the Tianshui Liang family, and whether these families will continue to be consistent with Li Xinchen in the face of real interests, Li Xinchen really doesn't know.

Therefore, if this war continues, Li Xinchen is not sure whether these families in the northwest will still support him, especially in case Li Xinchen fails, these families are not without the possibility of being a wall-to-wall grass.

Therefore, Li Xinchen also needs a temporary stable environment for him to clean up the chaos in the northwest and adjust the civil affairs and people's livelihood in Bashu, after all, Bashu has been working hard to supply the army this year, which is obviously not a good thing for a region that has just settled down, and Li Xinchen can no longer let the war continue until next year.

Therefore, Yu Yi can't fight anymore, how can Li Xinchen continue to persevere?

Looking at the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized around Li Xinchen, you also know that he is actually almost at the end of the mountain. Therefore, Li Xinchen did not ask for a sky-high price as he did in Cangxi Valley at all, the whole situation was in Li Xinchen's hands at that time, and more Ba reinforcements were still coming, except for the possible shortage of grain and grass, Li Xinchen had almost no problems to worry about. On the contrary, Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan were anxious to support the Xiangyang battlefield, and they didn't want to lose too many troops in Cangxi Valley, and the open and secret battles in the Northern Zhou Dynasty made the two veterans feel tired too, so they naturally gave Li Xinchen an opportunity.

And now Li Xinchen does not have such generous conditions at all, if he really annoys Yu Yi, this negotiation collapses, and Li Xinchen will not be comfortable in the future.

As if to understand this truth, Yu Yi took a deep breath

No matter how miserable Li Xinchen is, at least he still has an advantage, Yu Yi did not intend to raise the bottom line, and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Hanzhong is also a cheerful person, since this is the case, we will decide." From now on, the old man will withdraw his troops from Xiaoguan, as for the situation in the northwest, I am afraid that he will have to wait for the old man to report to the imperial court before making a decision······"

While speaking, Yu Yi subconsciously glanced at Li Xinchen, this was actually testing Li Xinchen, if Li Xinchen agreed, at least Yu Yi could withdraw the army to Xiaoguan first, and even if the court did not agree, then the army would not suffer losses, and there would be a chance to fight again.

However, Li Xinchen obviously had already expected this, and smiled slightly: "That's fine, but the old general is old and frail, and it will take a lot of time to come and go. Of course, in order to show sincerity, the general's other partial division in the street pavilion can also be left untouched. ”

Yu Yi really wanted to give Li Xinchen a punch directly, although the army of Helan Division was not at a disadvantage now, it could be regarded as lonely, and it was definitely not safer than in Xiao Pass. This is equivalent to Li Xinchen letting Yu Yi and Helan Shi stay as hostages. Once they did not reach an agreement with the Northern Zhou court, then they would definitely be the target of Li Xinchen's decisive action.

Yu Yi is the great Situ of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Helan Shi is also the commander of the horse, with the identity of the two people, the Northern Zhou court must also have some scruples. For the small court of Yuwenyun, which is now in turmoil, it can no longer withstand the loss of heavy generals, let alone the blow to morale.

Therefore, once Li Xinchen will be "detained" by Yi and Helan in this way, the Northern Zhou court will inevitably take this into account when considering it. What Yang Jian needs most now is prestige. For Yang Jian, who was born in a poor family, the decline of the Dugu family is a lifeline for him, if he can't win the war against Yu Wenxian, then he will inevitably lose Yu Wenyun's trust in him, coupled with the betrayal of Hongnong Yang's family, Yang Jian has nothing to rely on, even if Gao Xi and a few other people still want to support Yang Jian, the family behind them will have to think about it.

The Gao family and the Zheng family are not famous families, and they do not have the capital to re-emerge within two generations after a few blows like the Hongnong Yang family, so it is conceivable what kind of choice they will make at that time.

Yu Yi's expression was solemn, and Li Xinchen looked at him intently. Staying in the wing is a must, and leaving Helan Shi is Li Xinchen just in case. Although he has also studied the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he is definitely not meticulous enough to know the year of birth and death of each person.

However, the Lantian Yu clan soon declined, indicating that Yu Yi would not live long, and it should be almost time to let go west, if something really happened to Yu Yi during the negotiation, it might be used by Yang Jian, and then turn into the anger and morale of the Northern Zhou army.

Li Xinchen never doubted Yang Jian's ability, this legendary figure who became an emperor from a cold counterattack, definitely has a sharper insight and the ability to control the situation than ordinary people, once he discovers a little wave, it will definitely turn into a monstrous wave between the clouds and rain!

Therefore, all Li Xinchen can do is to ensure that there are no problems in all aspects, and not give Yang Jian this chance at all!
