The last three kingdoms

Chapter 624 Who Should I Surrender?

Xu Wu nodded, even if Tiao Mao didn't say anything, Xu Wu understood that it was time to make a decision. Liu Yin's letter of persuasion to surrender was the second letter of persuasion received by Xu Wu. Shujieng also wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender, but at that time, the battle of Guzang had just started, and the city was well-defended, how could Xu Wu pay attention to the Hu people's persuasion to surrender.

However, after fighting for more than three months, Gu Zang's defense force has been exhausted. According to the laws of Wei State, those who have been attacked for more than a hundred days and cannot be rescued will not be able to stay at home even if they surrender.Although the dynasty has changed now, the state of Jin still implements the old law of the state of Wei. This law has not changed. It has been more than a hundred days now. Even if Wuwei surrenders from the city, he will not be held accountable again. .

Xu Wu is not greedy for life and afraid of death. As the governor of Liangzhou, he naturally has to consider this issue for the soldiers and civilians of Wuwei. Once Guzang City is broken, it is very likely that the city will be massacred. It was cruel, but Xu Wu had witnessed it with his own eyes. Once Gu Zang fell, everything would be destroyed. Naturally, Xu Wu didn't want to see this kind of tragedy.

In order to give the remnant army and common people in the city a chance, Xu Wu has decided to surrender the city before losing his last ability to resist. Perhaps this may not necessarily quell the anger of the besiegers, but it is also the only hope.

What's more, the goal of guarding the city for a hundred days must be achieved. Not only Xu Wu, but many officials in Liangzhou have families in the Kanto. The families of these officials will be implicated.

But now, the [-]-day deadline has passed, there is no hope of reinforcements from the Jin army, and it is only a matter of time before Guzang City is broken. This is in exchange for the safety of the people in the city.But now the situation has changed slightly. Liu Yin's Shu army has also killed the city of Guzang. It seems that Xu Wuneng has changed from whether the question is to the multiple-choice question.

Who should be surrendered?
This is a difficult problem before Xu Wu.

For the Hu people, Xu Wu instinctively hates them. How can these barbarian clans who drink blood be compared with our Huanghuang Chinese descendants. To bow down to such opponents, for Xu Wu, this is a shame in itself.Therefore, from Xu Wu's heart, when he really had to, he still tended to surrender to Liu Yin.

"No one will be surrendered to Shu!" Fei Ping, who was engaged in the business, expressed his attitude categorically.

Xu Wu was relatively calm, didn't say a word, and turned his gaze to Fei Ping, as if asking his reason.

Of course, Fei Ping had already prepared a set of rhetoric, the words were fierce, and he said generously: "We Da Jin and the Kingdom of Shu have always been bitter enemies. Liu Yinxing made a strange move to attack Guanzhong, and he succeeded by chance, which caused our Liangzhou and the Central Plains to fight together. Isolation, when Xianbei rebelled, the imperial court could not send reinforcements because of Liu Yin, otherwise how could the bald tree function be so rampant. Secondly, if Liangzhou is completely owned by Liu Yin, Yongliang and Liangzhou will be integrated, and Shu will be in Guanzhong again. There is no need to worry about the future, and it is very likely that we will send troops to the east and invade our land of the Great Jin Dynasty. Such an act of supporting the enemy will make us all criminals."

Tiao Mao chuckled and said, "Although there is a rift between Jin and Shu, it seems to me that Fei Biejia has deep-rooted hatred with Shu, right?"

Fei Ping's father is Fei Yao. Fei Yao was a former general and died for his country in the war with Shu. so to speak.

Fei Ping glared at him, and said generously: "The grievance between Fei and the Shu Kingdom is nothing but a personal enmity. Is this someone who abolished the public because of personal interests? The danger of surrendering to Shu must be well known by Xu Shijun and the prefect Tiao. Ming, what someone said, for the sake of the country, never descend to Shu!"

Tiao Mao obviously didn't care too much about Fei Ping's attitude. They had worked together for a long time, and Jia Ping's character and temper were not clear to Tiao Mao.He said slowly: "Then Fei Biejia means that it is more reliable to surrender to the Xianbei?"

Fei Ping blushed, and said bluntly: "I didn't say that, it's just the lesser of two evils."

Tiao Mao said: "Fei, don't be fooled by this. As Liangzhou officials, we eat the royal salary, so we should be loyal to the country, but we don't regret our death. If tens of thousands of people in Guzang City are buried with us If you say that, it is a great crime. The cruelty and viciousness of the Xianbei people must have been experienced by Fei Biejia. Last month, Xuanwei was defeated and all the people in the city were slaughtered. Can Fei Biejia consider whether the bald tree can forgive the people in the city?"

Fei Ping said: "We can write a letter to the bald tree function, asking for the protection of the people in Guzang. Now that Liu Yin's army is approaching, the bald tree function will definitely accept our conditions."

Tiao Mao sneered: "How can you believe people who don't believe what they say? You haven't seen the Xiping incident?" The Xiping incident refers to Yao Keli secretly colluding with the bald tree to use the power of the Xianbei to win the Xiqiang King's seat. , but in the end it was the bald tree function that broke its promise and swallowed the big and small elm valleys all by itself. When Tiao Mao mentioned this, he naturally said that the bald tree function was despicable and unbelievable.

"You..." Fei Ping was at a loss for words. How could he guarantee the character of the bald tree? After all, that guy has a lot of bad records and it is difficult to win the trust of others.

Xu Wu waved his hand to stop the two people from arguing, and said, "What's the point of you two arguing like this? In the long run, who will be surrendered? Liangzhou has been plagued by wars for many years, and the people of Liangzhou are devastated. If our surrender can make the people of Liangzhou It is worth it to live a stable life from now on and avoid the suffering of swordsmen. On the contrary, if the people of Liangzhou cannot live and work in peace and contentment, it is better to fight to the end and be loyal to the country. Now it seems that the Xianbei people cannot destroy Liu Yin, Liu Yin But you can destroy the Xianbei people, surrendering the Xianbei people first is a humiliation, and surrendering to Liu Yin again is a second humiliation, are you willing to bear the two humiliations?"

Xu Wu's words were for everyone to hear. Apart from Fei Pingtiaomao, all the officials from the Governor's Mansion, Zuoju, were present. Hearing Xu Wu's words, they all nodded frequently: "What Xu Shijun said is true. .”

As the supreme commander of the Liangzhou area, Xu Wu made his decision to surrender to the Kingdom of Shu when he opened his mouth. He still had a lot of things to do, so he sent a representative to contact Liu Yin.Liangzhou's surrender can never be unconditional. The specific conditions still need to be contacted with Liu Yin. Next, there is still a long way to go, but for the people of Guzang, peace can already be seen dawn.
