Of course, the previous ones are not the key points, and in the negotiation conditions, what really makes Song Chao care is probably the ownership of Jincheng County. This place in Jincheng County is located in the place where the Hexi Corridor leads to Qinzhou Guanzhong, and you can go to Xiping County, Xihai and other places to the west! To the east, you can go to areas such as the Yuanwei Hetao, and to the south, it is Qinzhou, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu.

It can be said that if anyone masters this place, he will basically master half of the Hexi Corridor, which is equivalent to pinching a life gate in Liangzhou in his hands. If it is said that this place is given to the Huashan Army, it is definitely not a good thing for Liangzhou.

On the contrary, even if Xiping County and Yuanwei County were ceded to Li Xin, if Liangzhou still controlled Jincheng County, basically, any actions of the Huashan Army in these two places in the future would be under Liangzhou's surveillance.

Moreover, as long as Liangzhou is willing, it is basically okay to send troops to attack the territory of the Huashan Army at any time. This kind of attack not only refers to Xiping County and Yuanwei County, but also refers to Qinzhou Guanzhongdi!

Song Chao saw this, so he would rather cede Xiping County and Yuanwei County, as well as compensate some of the war horses, and also keep Jincheng County.

But the question is, how can Li Xin let him succeed. He made such a big plan, in order to get all these places in his hands, and then build a defense line facing Liangzhou. If the link of Jincheng County is missing in the middle, it is almost meaningless.

"War horses can be reduced, but at least a thousand, and as for the counties, there is no need to talk about them. If you don't give it, then I'll take it myself! Think for yourself! I don't have much time, I can't spend it with you all the time! If you agree, just say yes, if you don't, you can leave! Li Xin laid out his bottom line.

As a result, Song Chao now found himself in an unfavorable situation. Although it may seem as if you have a choice, and the initiative is already back in your hands, in reality, there is almost no choice.

After Li Xin finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore, just drank tea quietly, waiting for his answer. The entire lobby was silent, only the sound of Li Xin's fingers tapping on the table. Although the voice was not loud, every time it sounded, Song Chao only felt as if he had been knocked by a hammer in his heart.

"If Song Fujiao can't make a decision, it's better to go back to Guzang first and ask Zhang Qiang! Or, wait until another battle and you'll know how to decide! Seeing that he was hesitant to decide, Li Xin couldn't help but show a trace of impatience and said.

Hearing this, Song Chao felt bitter in his heart, because he found that he really didn't seem to have any other choice now. Although it is said that Zhang Ju has an army of 8,000 on his side, and if necessary, Zhang Ju can collect tens of thousands of troops at any time, but the question is whether these people can beat the Huashan army.

Moreover, the current situation in Liangzhou really makes Song Chao unable to be optimistic. If all of Liangzhou's energy is restrained by the Huashan Army, I am afraid that the entire Liangzhou will fall apart.

"That's it! Just do what the general says! However, until I go back to Guzang to reply to Zhang Yuanjun, you must not go any further! After all, this matter still needs Zhang Yuanjun to be the master, and it will take time! After thinking about it for a long time, Song Chao had to say helplessly.

"Yes! Also, Fu Jian and the others, you can deal with it for me! I don't have time to care about them here, and this is your sincerity in fulfilling your contract. Again, I'll only give you ten days, and if you don't reply after ten days, then the agreement will be null and void! Seeing that he agreed, Li Xin nodded, and then said.

Song Chao didn't answer, and Tie Qing turned around and left without saying a word. It is said that he did not stay for a moment after going out, and directly took people back to Guzang.

"General, will they really agree to our conditions so easily?" After Song Chao left, Tu Qi asked.

"Song Chao is a person who understands, he knows what the biggest crisis in Liangzhou is now, not in our place, but in their internal problems. Therefore, it is normal to give up some interests, protect yourself first, and then think about others. As for whether Zhang Qian will accept it, I'm afraid we will have to add more fire! Hearing this question, Li Xin couldn't help but smile and said.

"What does the general mean?"

"Mobilize another 3,000 soldiers and horses from Guanzhong, and rush out of Longguan Road to Jincheng Pass! Make a big splash and make a big splash to let the other side know that we're preparing for war. We want to make them feel that we don't want peace talks at all, we just want to fight with them. In this case, with Zhang Qiang's character, he will definitely agree to these conditions! Li Xin thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for someone to give orders immediately!"

Zhang Qian is not as good as Zhang Zuo, because this person doesn't think he can do anything rebellious, but in fact, his courage is not as good as Zhang Zuo.

In the original history, shortly after Zhang Qian took power, Fu Qin sent two envoys to Liangzhou. Neither side used knives and guns, and the two envoys just talked exaggeratedly, which frightened Zhang Qian and hurriedly proclaimed himself to Fu Qin!

Under such a character, if you are faced with a real desperate situation, you will inevitably choose to retreat. What's more, at this time, in order to maintain his position and power in Liangzhou, how could he choose to confront the Huashan Army, which would lead to the possible destruction of Liangzhou in his own hands.

On the side of Jincheng Pass, after Zhou Tong saw Zhang Ju and others converge, he also retreated to the south bank of the river and formed a confrontation with the other party. In this case, Zhang Ju and the others also had to stay there to prevent Zhou Tong from going north.

After Song Chao and the others passed through Yuanwei County, the news was quickly sent to Zhou Tong's hands. He knew Li Xin's overall plan, but even if he understood it, Liangzhou was already taking the bait. In this situation, he knew more about what he was going to do.

On the one hand, he sent someone to Yunjie County to send an order, so that Hu Tian could quickly take the Western Capital and other places, and if Wei Qi was there, this matter would be much easier to handle. Especially in Xidu County, where the Huashan Army must maintain a certain deterrent.

On the other hand, he led his army to drill on the south bank every day, making a gesture of attack. In short, it is to make this situation up, so that the other party is frightened every day, thinking that he is going to fight.

In this case, Zhang Ju made every effort to guard against it, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Guzang for several days, stating the precarious situation in the land of Jincheng Pass.

The result was very clear, and when Song Chaohuo returned to Guzang City in a hurry, he found that Zhang Qian was already waiting for him impatiently.

"What? He clearly wants to rob it! This is clearly blackmail! No, I can't promise him, even if there is an all-out war with him, I can't promise him! After hearing Song Ming's words about Li Xin's conditions, Zhang Qian couldn't help but scold angrily.

Song Chao knew that as soon as this condition was said, Zhang Qian would inevitably be like this. Therefore, after finishing speaking, he sat there silently, watching Zhang Qian scolding there.

When he finally stopped, he said, "My lord, this matter has to be solved after all!" To be honest, Li Xin's conditions are indeed too harsh! If the adults are determined to fight, the lower officials will have no opinion! However, when I returned, I heard that Li Xin had mobilized another 3,000 soldiers and horses from Guanzhong to Jincheng Pass. Coupled with the Huashan Army that was originally there, now the number of people is already above General Zhang! ”

"What you said is true?" Hearing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but suffocate and asked.

"Yes, although it may be Li Xin's deliberate doing, if we don't give an answer within ten days, I'm afraid that this matter will eventually become true! Now there are no other wars in the territory of the Huashan Army, and with their military strength, it is not very difficult to fight a battle in Jincheng County! Song Chao nodded and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian couldn't help but be silent. If it was an advantageous situation, he might have some confidence to fight, but in a one-on-one situation, he really didn't have much certainty.

Of course, if he can afford the consequences after the defeat, then there is nothing to consider. The problem is that he can't bear the consequences of defeat, so naturally he can't be defeated.

"What do you mean?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Qian finally asked Song Chao again.

"The intention of the lower officials, Jincheng County has now fallen into the hands of the Huashan Army, and it is not easy for them to take the initiative to withdraw. It's better to promise them first, let's transfer General Zhang's soldiers and horses back to strengthen the defense of Yici County. At the same time, put down the rebellion in Jiuquan County as soon as possible, and then find a way to get those places back! Song Chao had already thought about it, so he replied directly at this time.

"Just do as you say! Agree to his terms, and then put down the rebellion first! One day, all that he lost today will have to be doubled back by his Li Xin! Zhang Qian was silent for a while, and finally had to sigh.

Although it was extremely unwilling, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. After getting Zhang Qiang's approval, Song Chao immediately went to arrange everything, and then sent someone to Wushi County to reply to Li Xin.

In Wushi County, Li Xin has been waiting for six days, and finally waited for a reply.

"General, Zhang Qian sent someone to send the heads of Fu Jian and others, and in addition, a thousand good horses are also on the way!" Tu Qi reported.

"Very good, in this way, our actions this year are basically considered to be a successful conclusion. After solving this matter, we can rest with peace of mind! By the way, send someone to send my military order, and let Zhou Tong send those 1,000 war horses back to Guanzhong! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then ordered.

Although it seems that he is lifting weights lightly and seems to be very relaxed, only those who are personally involved in it know how much pressure Li Xin is under after this battle.
