The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 464

That is to say, Cao Ji became king only two months ago, and another explosive news spread all over the world.Lin Yifan, the lord of Hengshan, married Princess Yunyang, the younger sister of the current Holy Master, at the beginning of February.At the same time, he announced to the outside world that he was incompatible with Cao Ji, supported General Feng's righteous deeds, and held high the banner of crusade against Cao thieves.

When the news spread, many royalist subjects moved closer to Hengshan as if they had found their backbone.In the eyes of many insightful people, the only force capable of opposing Cao Ji today is Hengshan.With the support of Hengshan, the entire Central Plains became more turbulent. The Leizhou Army also publicly expressed its support to Hengshan and sent envoys to Hengshan.

Some people were happy, but others were naturally angry. When Cao Ziyan, who was going south to suppress the rebellion, learned of this, he couldn't help but burst into anger, and commanded the army to sweep away the rebel party. Wherever he passed, there was no grass growing.

In Hengshan, everyone was celebrating Lin Yifan's marriage to Princess Yunyang.Everyone in the upper echelons also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the lord married Princess Yunyang. At this point, Hengshan will be able to occupy the righteous name, raise the banner of anti-Cao, and gather more talents and influence for his own use.

In order for General Feng to block Cao Ji's offensive, Lin Yifan decided to provide Leizhou Army with gunpowder for free, and sent a group of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion south to assist in the battle.Because Leizhou is mountainous, the cavalry cannot exert much advantage there. However, because of the complicated terrain, it is not so easy for Cao Jun to invade Leizhou.The Hengshan high-level unanimously decided to let the two sides form a confrontational situation, so as to contain Cao Ji's troops, so that he could not go north for the time being.

Not long after Lin Yifan got married, news came from Xizhou that envoys from the 46 countries in the Western Regions under Hengshan's control had come together and had already arrived at Tianmen Pass.Hengshan attached great importance to the matter of sending envoys from the countries of the Western Regions to visit the Celestial Dynasty.As early as the time when Hou Mingfeng sent the letter, the construction of the building was started, which was specially used to receive the envoys from the Western Regions.

But unexpectedly, with the influx of envoys from the Western Regions into the Central Plains, the Western Golden Wolf Kingdom, the Eternal Kingdom, and the Tianyun Kingdom all sent envoys to Hengshan after receiving the news.Of course, they couldn't come to see them like the countries in the Western Regions, but they were planning to improve their relations with Hengshan, a powerful neighbor.

In fact, this has nothing to do with their current situation.For example, in the Western Golden Wolf Kingdom, because the city of Yekesha was breached by the Western Expeditionary Army, the rebels took the opportunity to kidnap Sad Khan’s eighth brother, and established another Golden Wolf Khanate in the north. Rebels from all over the country eventually formed a confrontation between the North and the South.Today's Sad Khan is busy with the Northern Expedition, vowing to eradicate this pseudo-Khanate.Therefore, with regard to what the Western Expeditionary Army did in the Western Regions, they were already powerless and had to temporarily choose to compromise.Now Hengshan has set up the Protectorate in the Western Regions, stationed with 20 troops, and controls more than [-] countries in the Central and Western Regions. If he takes the opportunity to advance northward, the Khanate will surely suffer from enemies.Given the current predicament of the Khanate, I am afraid that there is a danger of overthrowing the country.Now that I heard that the countries in the Western Regions sent envoys to the east, they could not sit still, so they immediately sent envoys to follow up.

The situation of the Eternal Kingdom is a little bit better, but because of the great war the year before last, the national strength was greatly damaged, so they had to establish an alliance with Hengshan to guard against the Tianyun Kingdom.Now, more than half of the domestic army has been dispatched to the southwest to make an expedition to Vientiane Kingdom, where they are now attacking cities and looting land, and have not yet returned.Therefore, the country in the country is actually extremely empty, and they had to send envoys to consolidate relations with Hengshan.At the same time, after Hengshan attacked the Western Regions before, he gave Eternal a large area of ​​the Western Regions by the way, and Eternal had to repay this love.The purpose of coming here this time is not only to show the world the close relationship between Eternity and Hengshan, so as to deter Tianyun, but also to prepare to discuss with Hengshan to open up a commercial market distribution center, so that Eternity can dump the wealth looted from Vientiane Kingdom.

As for the Tianyun Kingdom, the purpose of coming here is to make friends with Hengshan, and take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the emptiness of the Eternal Country, to send troops westward and destroy the Eternal Kingdom in one fell swoop.However, the huge pressure from the north prevented Bai Yunting from acting rashly.But now is the best time, if there is no further action, it will be even more difficult for Tianyun to send troops to crusade when the Eternal Army from the expedition returns, or the war in the Central Plains subsides.For Yixue's humiliation back then, Tianyun was ready to pay a huge price.

Naturally, Lin Yifan would not know about these things, and at this moment he was also wondering why the three countries sent envoys here at this time, and what was their plan?
In order to deal with this unprecedented wave of envoys, Hengshan was extremely busy.At the same time, they unreservedly publicized the news of the envoys from various countries to the world, so as to enhance Hengshan's prestige.

Sure enough, as soon as this news came out, all the subjects in the world were shocked, and then, a sense of pride spontaneously rose from the bottom of their hearts.It turned out that there was still a group of people who had laid down the vast land of the Western Regions for the empire, and restored the Protectorate of the Western Regions that had disappeared for hundreds of years.Many insightful people even sighed again and again, Hengshan's merits have far surpassed the imperial court, and the hearts of the people of the world are gradually going to Hengshan.

In mid-March, the envoys from the Western Regions finally arrived in Tongwan City and met the master who ruled their country, Lin Yifan.

More than 40 people stood together in the lobby, paying respectful respect to the king, although Lin Yifan was only a duke at this time.At the same time, everyone was also very surprised at the king's youth and kind face, and there was no trace of the king's majesty and cruelty at all.

After paying homage, all kinds of rare treasures presented by various countries were presented to Lin Yifan one by one.After seeing the gifts, it was the household registers and fields presented by the envoys from various countries to show their submission. Of course, Lin Yifan just picked them up to browse casually, and would not really accept them.Instead, he encouraged him with a few words, and then returned them to the messenger.

After the meeting, Lin Yifan didn't bother with these envoys any more, but handed over to Jiang Yunchuan to arrange for them to communicate and negotiate with the officials of various ministries.

Now that the Western Regions have been taken down, it is naturally impossible to become the ruler of the Western Regions in name only.Lin Yifan covets the rich mineral resources and prosperous commerce of the Western Regions.At the same time, in order to strengthen the connection with the Western Regions, it is necessary to go deep into the countries of the Western Regions and infiltrate in various aspects, so that they can no longer leave Hengshan's embrace.

The envoys from the Western Regions stayed in Hengshan for a full five days before they reached a preliminary agreement with the officials of various ministries in Hengshan. After returning, they will be handed over to the monarch for decision.Next, under the escort of the Hengshan Army, the envoys headed south all the way, preparing to go to the capital to have an audience with Emperor Tianwu and invite their own vassals.

In this regard, Hengshan is also quite helpless, and today the Wu Empire still occupies the rightful name.Since Hengshan admitted that he was a vassal of Tianwu, he couldn't stand on his own. After taking over the Western Regions, he could only call himself a country that opened up frontiers.That being the case, then the subjects of the Western Regions' surrender can only be the Tianwu Empire, at least on the surface.

As for whether he would be intercepted this time going south, Lin Yifan was not worried about it.Whoever dares to stop such a matter of increasing the country's prestige will be against the subjects of the world, and even against Hengshan.Now, under Hengshan's publicity, this matter has become known to the whole world, and even Cao Ji dare not openly prevent the envoys from the Western Regions from meeting the emperor.After all, even though he has become king, he still holds up the fig leaf of the court, and the emperor is still the lord of the world on the face of it.

When the envoys from the Western Regions went south, the envoys from the Three Kingdoms who had been waiting in Hengshan for a long time all begged to see Lin Yifan.Regarding this, Lin Yifan was not in a hurry, but arranged for the staff to entertain the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and did not plan to meet anyone for the time being.

Because, the annual Spring Conference is about to begin.
