The last three kingdoms

Chapter 625
After the Battle of Chaichaigou ended, the advance of the Shu army became stable. Except for small-scale disturbances, the Xianbei people never organized any major offensives, and the Shu army arrived at the city of Guzang all the way.

Liu Yin was not careless in the slightest. Although the battle of Dachaigou once again greatly frustrated the spirit of the Xianbei people, in the final analysis, it did not hurt the vitality of the Xianbei people. The main force of the Xianbei people still remained, and they still had enough ability to launch an attack.

Liu Yin still has enough confidence in the chariot formation he set up. In history, Ma Long only commanded 500 people, and his solitary army went deep into the northwest for more than [-] miles. It was wiped out. Malone's biggest reliance was the van, and he had been attacking the old lair of the bald tree function. The bald tree function could not think of any good solution, so this battle formation is quite effective against the Xianbei people. .

Of course, this battle formation is not invincible. First of all, the van formation is too bulky. Apart from the tortoise-like defense, it lacks flexibility.Secondly, the van is not indestructible, at least Liu Yin has the means to destroy it, so in later generations, the prevalence of artillery made the van completely withdraw from the stage.

However, in this era, the van still has enough combat power, at least it can't do anything to fight the bald tree. Seeing that the Shu army has approached the city of Guzang, the bald tree can only retreat and surround The Xianbei army in Guzang City withdrew back.

Now, a strange scene has formed. Guzang City is still heavily surrounded, but it is divided into two camps. The north of the city is the Xianbei army with bald tree functions, and the south of the city is Liu Yin's Shu army. confronted.

At this moment, Guzang City, as far as the function of the bald tree is concerned, exists like a chicken rib, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard it.The Xianbei people are mainly cavalry, and they are strong in field battles, but if they want to talk about fighting tough battles, it is not their strong point. Therefore, facing the not many defenders in Guzang City, the Xianbei people attacked by force for more than three months. He failed to take it down, although the function of the bald tree was clear, and the Jin army defending the city had reached the end of its crossbow, but he still couldn't find the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and watched the Shu army come strong , approaching Guzang City.

In the face of the Shu army in a chariot formation, the bald tree function is really helpless. The heavy side-carriage crossbow arrows cannot be pierced, and the horses cannot rush. The two consecutive attacks have cost the Xianbei people a great deal. The cost of casualties, even if the bald tree is cunning and resourceful, at this time it is also helpless.

When the Shu army came, it was impossible for the Xianbei people to encircle the city on all sides, so they had to withdraw the soldiers from the south of the city, set up a camp in the north of the city, and wait and see.

If Liu Yin was a supporting army, then the siege of the bald tree function would have been a complete failure, and it would be meaningless to set up camp under Guzang City, but the difference now is that Liu Yin is not a reinforcement of the defending army. In fact, Liu Yin has the same function as the bald tree, and is also an enemy of the city defenders. It is for this reason that the bald tree function did not withdraw, but chose to wait and see, perhaps he still hoped that he could profit from it.

Liu Yin smiled slightly when he heard the news that the bald tree can garrison troops in the north of the city.

Liu Yin was not in a hurry to attack the city in the south of the city. Instead, he set up a camp with deep moats and high fortifications.

Liu Yin is not sure whether he can persuade Xu Wu to surrender. Liu Yin also collected some information about Xu Wu before. He knew that Xu Wu was the son of Xu Miao. It is doubtful whether the ability can match that of the father.However, the person who can serve as the governor of Liangzhou in this eventful autumn must be a trusted confidant of the Sima family. Xu Wu has already stuck to Guzang for more than a hundred days when the enemy is outnumbered, which shows that this person has an extremely tenacious character. Not the kind to give in easily.

However, for a city to be able to defend for a hundred days in the face of disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, it must be at the end of the battle. In this case, it is not impossible for the defender's will to be shaken. However, Liu Yin didn't mind using force to attack Guzang.

Not long after the envoy was dispatched, Liu Yin received a reply soon, and general Xu Wu sent an envoy to Shuying.Although Liangzhou did not say that it was a surrender or a war, it can be seen from the fact that Xu Wu sent an envoy to negotiate. It can be seen that this is at least a positive signal. Yin's persuasion.Xu Wu's ambiguous attitude confirmed Liu Yin's thoughts, and the situation in Guzang is indeed urgent.

To Liu Yin's surprise, the envoy sent by Liangzhou was Tiao Mao, the prefect of Wuwei. Such a heavyweight representative just reflected Xu Wu's mentality. It seems that he is still inclined to sacrifice the city and surrender.But since he sent Shigeru here, it is obvious that the main purpose is to negotiate, at least not unconditionally.

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

Tiao Mao put forward three conditions. First, all officials of all ranks in Liangzhou will remain in office; second, all existing military systems in Liangzhou will be retained; The territory of Liangzhou was jointly administered by Jin and Shu.

Tiao Mao put forward three conditions, and the air in the big tent suddenly became grim. Gao Yuan and Fu Mu, who accompanied Liu Yin to receive Tiao Mao, looked obviously unfriendly, looked at Tiao Mao coldly, and wanted to speak out.If these three conditions are met, can it still be considered a surrender?

Liu Yin gave Gao Yuan and Fu Mo a look, and they didn't speak.Liu Yin looked at Tiao Mao, this guy looked arrogant, as if he had nothing to fear.

Liu Yin sneered secretly, Xu Wu had to use his brains to come up with these three conditions. If the first two conditions are relatively harsh, but still within the acceptable range, then the third condition It's completely intolerable, isn't it nonsense to keep the banner of the state of Jin? What is the purpose of Liu Yin's westward expedition? It is to take the four counties of Hexi from the hands of the state of Jin and build a stable rear base for the land of Guanlong However, Xu Wu's desire to maintain the status quo in Liangzhou is completely unrealistic fantasy.

"Do you think Liangzhou is still qualified to negotiate such a condition?"
