Liu Yin said heavily: "The history of Xu Thorn is still the history of Liangzhou Thorn, and the Taishou is still the Taishou of Wuwei, but now the two of them can only temporarily take their posts, and after I am allowed to write to the son of tomorrow, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will be re-canonized, and the two of them can officially take office at that time." ”

Although Liu Yin did not say it explicitly, but the sentence that the history of Liangzhou and Wuwei Taishou official positions must be canonized by the emperor of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly the last thought of Tiao Mao, and it is normal to think about it, one day does not exist for two days, how can a country tolerate two lords, this state land, how can the two flags of Jin and Shu flutter at the same time, and the situation of Xu Wu seeking the co-governance of Jin and Shu in Liangzhou is just a fantasy.

Tiao Mao also knows that Liu Yin is already Liu Yin's ultimatum, since the two sides have shown their hole cards, and the demands are far apart, it is a question of who will compromise, obviously Liu Yin is impossible to make concessions in this regard, and Tiao Mao has no right to make decisions for Xu Wu, he can only say goodbye and return to the city, and make a decision after discussing with Xu Wu.

Liu Yin didn't say anything more, and politely sent Tiao Mao out of the camp.

Returning to Guzang City, Tiao Mao went straight to see Xu Wu.

At this moment, Xu Wu was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Tiao Mao coming in, he frowned, walked up quickly, and said eagerly: "How?" ”

Tiao Mao arched his hand and said with a slightly wry smile: "Xu Yuanjun, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed." ”

Xu Wu's originally stretched brows furrowed again at this moment: "How do you say it?" ”

Tiao Mao told the truth, and originally relayed Liu Yin's words to Xu Wu, Tiao Mao thought that Xu Wu would have a strong reaction after hearing it, but he didn't expect Xu Wu to be silent, but his expression was cold and abnormal.

In fact, such a result was expected by Xu Wu, if Liu Yin really agreed to his request, it would surprise Xu Wu, originally he made those requests, even his own felt a little excessive, but if he didn't mention it, how could he have room for bargaining.

Liu Yin's reply to the three conditions is indeed quite pertinent, the first one asks to maintain the current rule of officials, agreeing in principle, of course, there is an additional condition, that is, a slight rectification, the selection of the good and the elimination of the inferior, which is also reasonable. The second point is to retain the structure of the Liangzhou army, although Liu Yin agreed, but put forward a requirement for the command of the army, which is a more reasonable requirement, the army is a fundamental thing, only by mastering the army, can we ensure that Liangzhou really controls the hands of Shu.

As for the third condition, in fact, Xu Wu knew better, it was just an unrealistic fantasy, something that was impossible to achieve at all. Xu Wu's father Xu Miao once established a prestigious name in Liangzhou, Xu Wu took office with his father's halo, his pressure can be imagined, even if he fell to the point of surrendering, Xu Wu's heart still has the shadow of his father, the third requirement not to change the flag is completely the product of Xu Wu's inner struggle, after being rejected by Liu Yin, Xu Wu is very calm to face the reality.

"Xu Yuanjun, what do you think should happen next?" Tiao Mao looked at Xu Wu and was speechless, and asked with a small wing.

Xu Wu sighed dejectedly, and said: "Tiao Taishou, you have worked hard this time, and then you don't need to go out in person, send a messenger to make an appointment with Liu Yin, and open the city to surrender." ”

Although Tiao Mao had a certain amount of mental preparation, seeing that Xu Wu said so refreshingly, it was still beyond his expectations, and Tiao Mao subconsciously said: "Is Xu Envoy really ready to surrender the city?" ”

Xu Wu glanced at him and said, "If that's not the case, then what?" ”

"Maybe we can negotiate with Liu Yin a little more, after all, Liu Yin's conditions are also a bit harsh."

Xu Wu shook his head and said: "If you continue to negotiate, there is no point in negotiating, when it comes to issues of principle, Liu Yin will not give in, as for those coarse things, it doesn't matter if you continue to argue about it, since you want to descend, it should be as early as possible, Xianbei people are eyeing you over there, and it should not be underestimated." ”

Surrender to the Xianbei people? That's just talking, it's a condition to blackmail Liu Yin, but Liu Yin doesn't care at all, but it doesn't have any meaning, for the Xianbei people, Xu Wu hates it in his heart, over the years, the Xianbei people have repeatedly violated the realm, burned, killed, plundered, and done all kinds of evil, so that Xu Wu surrendered to these barbarians, he couldn't do it anyway.

"No, I'll go down and arrange it." Tiao Shigeru nodded yes.

Tiao Mao turned to leave, he just went out with his front foot, don't drive Fei Ping rushed in with his back foot, and said to Xu Wu: "Lord Envoy, have you already decided to surrender to Shu?" ”

Xu Wudao: "There is this consideration. ”

Fei Ping's face changed suddenly, and his voice became scathing: "Lord Jun, don't do it, Shu is the enemy of my Great Jin, and your lordship betrays the lord and surrenders to the thief, won't it be a big disappointment for the imperial court." There is a saying, the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the adults do this, I am afraid that I am sorry for the name of Ling Zun, right? ”

Xu Wu said helplessly: "Now that the matter is now, there is no other way, is there a better way to do it?" ”

Fei Ping said: "If it really comes to the point where you have to sacrifice the city and surrender, then it is better to descend to Shu than to descend to Xianbei, Jin and Shu confront Guanzhong, Liangzhou is behind Guanzhong, if Liu gets Liangzhou, then there is no need to worry, we are not sinners of the court." Relying on the strength of the Xianbei people, we still have the capital to confront Liu, and we can also share the worries and solve problems for the imperial court, which is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Xu Wu said with a solemn face: "The Xianbei people are ferocious, and the descent is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house, and the people of Liangzhou are afraid that they will not have peace, not to mention that the bald tree is cunning and capricious, and it is by no means a person who can be trusted. ”

Fei Ping wanted to say something more, but Xu Wu waved his hand to stop: "I have made up my mind, Fei Beijia doesn't need to say anything more." ”

Fei Ping was depressed, but Xu Wu, as the number one leader in Liangzhou, had the right to decide, since he had already made up his mind, Fei Ping couldn't change Xu Wu's final decision, so he had to stomp his foot heavily and turn away.

Xu Wu looked at his departing back, and couldn't help but sigh softly, he knew very well that there would definitely be different opinions on the matter of surrender, but now that it was a critical time, there was no time to consider these different opinions, if it was really a joke, it might not be clear for three days and three nights, at this time, it was time to test Xu Wu's courage. After Xu Wu made this decision, the merits and crimes must be borne by him Xu Wu alone. (To be continued.) )
