The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 390
Lin Yifan looked at Murong Kang coldly, "So what if you are? What if you are not? Don't you think that with the remaining [-] Dingxi troops, you can still hold Shazhou?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically, and the murderous intent permeated the meeting hall.

"Kang Dang!" Niu Dali outside the door immediately sensed the atmosphere in the hall, and immediately led a group of guards into the hall, staring at everyone with murderous intent. At this time, the saber was out of its sheath, and was about to devour human blood.

Everyone's face changed drastically again, and they looked at the guards around them in fear.Murong Kang looked at Lin Yifan tremblingly, and hissed, "Master Lin, you, what do you mean? Do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

Lin Yifan frowned and waved away the guards, looked at the panic-stricken people, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I always keep my word, but you can't compensate me with Hengshan's 1000 million taels of silver, so I proposed this compromise." Plan. If you really don’t want to, then I won’t force you, as long as you are willing to hand over 1000 million taels of silver, our Hengshan Army will immediately retreat, how about that?”

"You!" Murong De's face was flushed, and he said with hatred: "Master Lin knows that I can't afford 1000 million taels, so why are you so aggressive? How can real gold and silver be measured in the thousands of miles of Shazhou? If Shazhou is lost , I am waiting for the soldiers of the Dingxi Army, where will we go?"

"Hmph!" Lin Yifan couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, "Everyone thinks that this official is so unreasonable and overbearing. But have you ever thought that the current Dingxi Army can no longer shoulder the important task of guarding Shazhou. Even This officer has withdrawn from Shazhou unconditionally. With you mobs who only know how to fight for power and profit, can you stop the Tianyun Kingdom from going north? Can you stop the counterattack of the Eternal Army or the Xijin werewolf?"

After hearing Lin Yifan's words, everyone fell silent.His words revealed the thoughts they had been avoiding.Without the support of the Hengshan Army, the Dingxi Army would certainly not be able to stop the Tianyun Army who took advantage of the fire, and the foreign enemies from the west.After this battle in Shazhou, the originally fragile people's livelihood completely collapsed. If they want to recover, they alone will not be able to do it in more than ten years. What's more, they don't even have a year.

Murong Kang was trembling all over, and begged Lin Yifan sadly and helplessly: "Lord Lin, we also know that the Dingxi Army, which is defeated with remnants and generals, cannot defend Shazhou. But this is the place that our Murong family has guarded for generations after all. It is our root. If we give it up, how will we face the ancestors of the Murong family, how will we face the spirits of the Dingxi Army martyrs in the past?"

When Lin Yifan heard this, his face was solemn and respectful, and he said seriously: "Shazhou is the Ping Fan in the northwest of the Central Plains. Your Murong family and the Dingxi Army have all contributed to protecting our Central Plains. This point, even in later history books, cannot be erased. But Shazhou It is a Shazhou of the Chinese, not a Shazhou of one family. The reason why I want to get Shazhou is not just to fight for territory, but to inherit the mission of your Murong family and guard the border of the Central Plains. As for your Murong family, I The official can promise you that the Dingxi Army will not be disbanded, and you will not be left without a place to stay. I have already thought about where you will go."

"Alas!" After hearing Lin Yifan's words, Murong Kang sighed slightly, it seemed that Shazhou was finally going to change hands, and the century-old Murong family was coming to an end.Thinking of this, he asked with some dismay, "I don't know how your lord plans to deal with us down-and-out people?"

"To the west of Shazhou, there is a place called the Western Region." Lin Yifan looked at the west and said slowly, "This is the place I arranged for you."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and Murong De roared in grief and anger: "Master Lin, we are now human beings as fish and meat, and let you slaughter them. Why do you want to kill them all and force us to go to die?"

Lin Yifan glanced at him in surprise, and laughed aloud, "Death? No, on the contrary, this officer is giving you a chance for your family to rise again."

"Opportunity?" Murong Kang looked at him suspiciously, and asked in bewilderment, "Please speak clearly, my lord."

Lin Yifan immediately ordered someone to hang a map on the wall, and then pointed to the map and said, "To the west of Shazhou, there is a vast land, the land is no less than the Central Plains. There are hundreds of states, Nowadays, most of them are controlled by the werewolves of Xijin. However, according to the information obtained by the Eternal Army, the Eternal Army defeated the werewolves of Xijin and forced them to cede their land. Now the eastern part of the Western Regions is owned by the Eternal Army. Now the Eternal Army has collapsed thousands of miles. Under the constant pursuit, the eastern part of the Western Regions will definitely not be taken into account. If the Dingxi Army can take this opportunity to occupy a thousand miles in the east at one stroke, it will be the achievement of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory. I will report to the emperor at the meeting and appoint this place as Xizhou to represent the Dingxi Army Guard the land of Xizhou."

"Master Lin, this so-called Xizhou has a large land, but it is sparsely populated and the environment is harsh. It is not easy to survive [-] Dingxi troops." Murong Kang looked at him coldly, "Even if our Dingxi army occupies Once we are here, how can we defend this place? Once the Xijin werewolves invade, how can we resist it?"

"Haha, I have already made up my mind on this matter." Lin Yifan smiled, "The reason why I want to establish Xizhou is to give Shazhou a buffer zone and reduce foreign troubles. Second, it is to expand the people of the Central Plains." Living space, ease internal conflicts. Since this is the case, I will let you and others guard Xizhou, and naturally I will not let it go. In the territory of Shazhou, I will station [-] troops in Hengshan. If the Xijin werewolf invades, my Hengshan iron cavalry will surely We rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. At the same time, this official is going to recruit the people who have suffered from natural and man-made disasters in the Central Plains to move to Shazhou and Xizhou to make up for the shortage of population."

"Master Lin, you, why are you doing this?" Murong Kang hesitated for a moment, he really couldn't figure out why Lin Yifan had to open up Xizhou, so he couldn't help asking, "Now Shazhou is under the control of the Hengshan Army. Here, as long as we guard Shazhou, there will be no worries about foreign aggression, so why offend the Xijin werewolf for a barren land?"

Lin Yifan sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This officer's move was actually out of helplessness. Although the Eternal Army's retreat is a foregone conclusion, the situation has not shown signs of easing up. According to the information that has spread, the Tianyun Army is already ready to move. , Bingfeng pointed directly at Shazhou. And the Western Golden Werewolves were forced to cede the eastern part of the Western Regions. It is impossible to provide wealth and supplies for the West Gold Werewolves. Then the West Gold Werewolves can only focus on the east, and want to take advantage of our weakness in Shazhou to move east.”

Speaking of this, Lin Yifan came to the map, pointed to the location on the map and said: "Xi Jinlang will be my enemy in Hengshan in the future, and there must be a battle between the two sides. Since there is bound to be a war, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity?" Opportunity to take down the eastern part of the Western Regions and drive nails into their confidantes? When the war comes together, we will take advantage of the convenient location to block the connection between the Western Golden Werewolves and the countries of the Western Regions at any time, and cut off their arms. I hope to take this opportunity The war will restore the peace of the Western Regions for more than ten years, reopen the long corridor and ancient road, and restore the vitality of Shazhou. At that time, Xizhou can also rely on this long corridor and ancient road to gradually develop and prosper.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, they never thought that Lin Yifan would think so far.If it is true as he said, the future of Xizhou may not be a paradise for them.

"Master Lin has far-reaching plans, and I can't wait." Murong Kang said with admiration, this can be regarded as a good way out for their Murong family.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't say anything more, so they all agreed.

"So, do you all agree with my arrangement?" Lin Yifan looked around the crowd, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

"We are the remaining ones, willing to listen to Lord Lin's disposal." Everyone looked at each other helplessly and bowed in unison.
