The last three kingdoms

Chapter 627 Final Decision

Liu Yin said seriously: "Xu Inspector is still Liangzhou Inspector, Tiao Taishou Yizai is still Wuwei Prefect, but now the two can only take their place temporarily. After I submit a letter to the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will send an edict to re-canonize , then the two can formally take office."

Although Liu Yin didn't say it clearly, the statement that both the governor of Liangzhou and the prefect of Wuwei must be canonized by the emperor of Han is undoubtedly the last thought of Tiao Mao, and it is normal to think about it. Rong Erzhu, how can the two flags of Jin and Shu fly in this state at the same time? The situation where Xu Wu seeks to rule Jin and Shu in Liangzhou is just a fantasy.

Tiao Mao also knows that Liu Yin is already Liu Yin's ultimatum. Now that the two sides have shown their cards and their appeals are far from each other, it is a question of who will compromise. Obviously, Liu Yin will not be able to make any further concessions. Tiao Mao has no right to make decisions for Xu Wu, he can only leave and go back 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.

After 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, when he saw Tiao Mao coming in, he raised his brows, walked up to him quickly, and said eagerly: "How?"

Tiao Mao arched his hands, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

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

Tiao Mao told the truth and relayed Liu Yin's words to Xu Wu. Tiao Mao thought Xu Wu would have a strong reaction after hearing it, but he didn't expect Xu Wu to be silent, but his expression was stern 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 too much , but if he didn't mention it that way, how could he have room to bargain.

Liu Yin's answer to the three conditions is indeed quite pertinent. The first request is to maintain the current bureaucracy, and he agrees in principle. Of course, there is an additional condition that is to make some adjustments, select the good and eliminate the bad. This is also reasonable. middle.The second point is to retain the organizational system of the Liangzhou army. Although Liu Yin agreed, he made a request for the command of the army. This is a reasonable request. The army is a fundamental thing. Only by mastering the army can Liangzhou truly It is in the hands of the Shu Kingdom.

As for the third condition, Xu Wu is actually more aware that it is just an unrealistic fantasy, something that cannot be realized at all.Xu Wu's father, Xu Miao, had established a great reputation in Liangzhou. Xu Wu took office under his father's aura. It is conceivable that he was under great pressure. Remaining the shadow of his father, the third request not to change the banner was completely the product of Xu Wu's inner struggle. After being rejected by Liu Yin, Xu Wu calmly faced the reality.

"Xu Shijun, what do you think is going to happen next?" Tiao Mao looked at Xu Wu speechlessly for a while, and asked timidly.

Xu Wu sighed dejectedly, and said: "Prefect Tiao, you have worked hard on this trip, and then you don't need to go out in person. Send an envoy to make an appointment with Liu Yin to surrender the city."

Although Tiao Mao had a certain degree of mental preparation, seeing Xu Wu's straightforwardness was beyond his expectation, Tiao Mao subconsciously said: "Is Mr. Xu really ready to surrender the city?"

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

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

Xu Wu shook his head, and said: "There is no point in negotiating any further. Liu Yin will not give in when it comes to issues of principle. As for those trivial matters, it doesn't matter if we continue to argue. Surrender, as soon as possible, the Xianbei people are watching over there, they should not be underestimated."

Surrender to the Xianbei?That was just talk, as a condition to blackmail Liu Yin, but Liu Yin didn't care at all, it didn't make any sense. For Xianbei people, Xu Wu hated it from the bottom of his heart. Over the years, Xianbei People have repeatedly violated the border, burned, killed and looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Xu Wu can't do anything to surrender to these barbarians.

"No, I'll go down and make arrangements now." Shigeru Tiao nodded in agreement.

Tiao Mao turned and left. As soon as he went out, Fei Ping rushed in. He cupped his hands at Xu Wu and said, "My lord, have you decided to surrender to the Kingdom of Shu?"

Xu Wudao: "There is this consideration."

Fei Ping's face suddenly changed, and his voice became sharp: "Your Excellency, absolutely not, the Kingdom of Shu is our enemy of the Jin Dynasty, and your lord turned his back on the Lord and surrendered the thief. Wouldn't it disappoint the court? There is a saying that food Jun Zhilu, loyalty to the emperor, if you do this, I am afraid that you will be sorry for your father's name, right?"

Xu Wu said helplessly: "At this point, there is no other way. Does Fei Biejia have a better way?"

Fei Ping said: "If it is really necessary to surrender the city, then surrendering to Shu is better than surrendering to Xianbei. Jin and Shu are facing each other in Guanzhong, and Liangzhou is behind Guanzhong. If Liangzhou is captured by Liu, there will be no worries. Aren't we the court's sinners? We were poor and surrendered to Xianbei, relying on the strength of the Xianbei people, we still have the capital to fight against Liu, and we can also solve the court's worries and problems, this is a double win."

Xu Wu said solemnly: "Xianbei people are so cruel that they are like leading wolves into their houses. The people of Liangzhou are afraid that there will be no peace. What's more, the bald tree is cunning and capricious. It is definitely not someone you can trust. Xiping Yao Ke Huizhi This is the proof."

Fei Ping wanted to say something more, but Xu Wu waved his hand to stop him and said, "I've made up my mind, don't say anything more about Fei."

Fei Ping was angry, but Xu Wu, as the number one leader in Liangzhou, had the right to make decisions. Since he had already made up his mind, nothing Fei Ping could say would change Xu Wu's final decision. He could only stomp his feet heavily, turn around and leave go.

Xu Wu looked at his leaving back, and couldn't help sighing softly. He knew very well that there would definitely be different opinions on the matter of surrender, but now it's the critical time, and there is no time to consider these different opinions. Well, if it's really a matter of arguing, it may not be possible to tell if it takes three days and three nights. At this time, it is time to test Xu Wu's courage.After Xu Wu made this decision, he, Xu Wu, must be responsible for right and wrong.
