Chapter 525: Brain-opening

After the end of the battle of Dachaigou, the advance of the Shu army became stable, and the Xianbei people did not organize any major offensive except for a small-scale nuisance, and the Shu army arrived all the way to the city of Guzang.

Liu Yin did not have the slightest carelessness, although the battle of Dachaigou once again greatly reduced the spirit of the Xianbei people, but in the final analysis, it did not hurt the vitality of the Xianbei people, the main force of the Xianbei people still exists, and they still have enough ability to attack.

Liu Yin still has enough confidence in the chariot array he has deployed, in history, Ma Long only commanded 3,500 people, and the lone army went deep into the northwest for more than 2,000 miles, and he actually destroyed the bald tree function in the west of the river for nearly ten years, Ma Long's biggest reliance is the partial van, all the way to the old nest of the bald tree function, and the bald tree function can't think of any good way to crack it, so this battle array is quite effective against the Xianbei people.

Of course, this battle formation is not invincible in the world, first of all, the partial van is too heavy, in addition to the turtle shell-like defense, it lacks mobility and flexibility, if the enemy cavalry adopts the way of avoiding the battle, the partial van car formation will lose its effect. Secondly, the partial van is not indestructible, at least Liu Yin has the means to destroy it, so in later generations, the prevalence of artillery made the partial van completely withdraw from the stage.

However, in this era, the partial van still has enough combat effectiveness, at least there is no way to fight the bald tree function, seeing that the Shu army has approached the city of Guzang, the bald tree function can only retreat, and the Xianbei army that surrounds the city of Guzang is withdrawn.

Now it has formed a peculiar scene, Guzang City is still heavily surrounded, but it is divided into two camps, the north of the city is the Xianbei army of the bald tree function, and the south of the city is Liu Yin's Shu army, the two sides have strong barriers and face each other.

At this moment, Guzang City, for the function of the bald tree, is like a chicken rib, and it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it. The Xianbei people are mainly cavalry and have strong field combat capabilities, but if they want to fight tough battles, it is not their strong point, so in the face of the defenders of Guzang City, there are not too many defenders in Guzang City, and the Xianbei people have attacked for more than three months, and they have never been able to take it down, although the bald tree function is also clear, the Jin army defending the city has reached the end of the strong crossbow, but he has never been able to find the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and watched the Shu army come strongly and approach Guzang City.

In the face of the Shu army that put out the chariot array, the bald tree function is really helpless, the heavy crossbow arrows of the partial van can't be shot, the war horse can't rush, and the two attacks in a row have made the Xianbei people pay a great price for casualties.

When the Shu army attacked, it was impossible for the Xianbei people to besiege the city on all sides, so they had to withdraw the troops in the south of the city, set up a large camp in the north of the city, and wait and see for the time being.

If Liu Yin is a support army, then the siege of the bald tree function has been a complete failure, and there is no point in camping under the city of Guzang, but the difference now is that Liu Yin is not a reinforcement for the defenders, in fact, Liu Yin is the same as the bald tree function, and he is also the enemy of the defenders, and it is for this reason that the bald tree function did not withdraw, but chose to wait and see, maybe he also counted on a profit or two.

Liu Yin heard the news that the bald tree function could garrison the north of the city, and smiled slightly, the bald tree function really counted on the two armies of Shu and Jin to compete with each other, and he was so good that he was a fisherman and profited, but he was afraid that his wishful thinking would come to naught.

Liu Yin was not in a hurry to attack the city in the south of the city, but set up a camp, deep trenches and high bases, and the walls were strict, first gaining a firm foothold under the city of Guzang, and then sending someone to write to Xu Wu, the assassin of Liangzhou, to persuade him to surrender.

Whether he can persuade Xu Wu Liu Yin is not sure, Liu Yin has also collected some information about Xu Wu before, knowing that Xu Wu is the son of Xu Miao, this Xu Miao is also a powerful character, and he has made great achievements in governing Liangzhou, but it is doubtful whether Xu Wu's ability can match that of his father. However, the person who can serve as the assassin of Liangzhou in this eventful season must be a trusted confidant of the Sima family, Xu Wu has been outnumbered by the enemy, and he has held Guzang for more than 100 days, which shows that this person has an extremely tough personality, and he is by no means the kind of person who can easily succumb.

However, a city can be defended for 100 days under the disparity between the enemy and our forces, and it must be the end of a strong crossbow, in this case, it is not impossible for the will of the defender to waver, anyway, it is also tentative, if it is refused, Liu Yin does not mind using force to capture Guzang.

Soon after the messenger was dispatched, Liu Yin soon got a reply, and Xu Wu sent an envoy to the Shu camp. Although the Liangzhou side did not say that it was a surrender or a battle, it can be seen from the fact that Xu Wu sent an envoy to contact him, which is at least a positive signal, otherwise Xu Wu did not need to send an envoy at all, but directly refused Liu Yin's persuasion to surrender. Xu Wu's ambiguous attitude confirmed Liu Yin's thoughts, and now the situation in Guzang is indeed urgent.

To Liu Yin's surprise, the envoy sent by Liangzhou was actually Wu Wei Taishou Tiao Mao, such a heavyweight representative, which precisely reflected Xu Wu's mentality, it seems that he is still inclined to surrender the city. However, since he sent Shigeru to the country, it is clear that the main purpose is to negotiate, at least not unconditionally.

Liu Yin received Tiao Mao in the handsome tent, and the two sides were noisy for a while, and soon got to the point.

Tiao Mao put forward three conditions, first, all officials at all levels in Liangzhou should remain in office; Second, the existing military system in Liangzhou was fully retained; Third, if the flag is not changed, the Liangzhou Thorn History Department still maintains the name of the Jin State, and the territory of Liangzhou is under the co-governance of the Jin State and the Shu State.

Tiao Mao put forward three conditions, the air in the big tent suddenly became cold, Gao Yuan and Fu Zhao, who accompanied Liu Yin to receive Tiao Mao, looked obviously unkind, looked at Tiao Mao coldly, and wanted to reprimand. If these three conditions are fulfilled, can it still be regarded as a surrender?

Liu Yin gave Gao Yuan and Fu Zhao a look, and the two didn't speak. Liu Yin looked at Tiao Mao, this guy looked arrogant, and seemed to be fearless.

Liu Yin sneered secretly, how much of a brain does Xu Wu have to open to come up with these three conditions, if the first two conditions are relatively harsh, but they can still be accepted, then the third condition is completely intolerable, continue to retain the banner of the Jin State, isn't this nonsense, what is the purpose of Liu Yin's westward expedition, is to take the four counties of Hexi from the hands of the Jin State, and build a stable rear base for the land of Guanlong, Xu Wu wants to maintain the status quo in Liangzhou, which is completely unrealistic fantasy.

"Do you think Liangzhou is still qualified to negotiate such conditions?" (To be continued.) )
