The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 681
After nearly ten days of transmission, the news from Shazhou finally reached Lin Yifan who was on the front line at Tianjing Pass.

When Lin Yifan learned that Tianyun had secretly allied with the Cao family and declared war on Tianhua, he was shocked and angry.Immediately approved Zheng Han's request and allowed him to recruit the Shazhou militia.At the same time, in order to cope with Tianyun's 40 troops, Lin Yifan had to send a message to the cabinet, ordering them to immediately intercept some of the supplies and armor and send them to Shazhou.

It has to be said that Tian Yun's attack this time really made Lin Yifan feel a lot of pressure.But now it is impossible for him to stop the plan of the Southern Expedition. Once he gives up, he will have to plan for several years if he thinks about the Southern Expedition again.At that time, as Cao Ziyan's rule in the Central Plains deepened, it would be even more difficult to unify the Central Plains.

Therefore, in the letter sent back, Lin Yifan instructed Zheng Han to focus on defense and stop the Tianyun Army to the south of Quyang Pass.At the same time, let him immediately send people to the Eternal Kingdom to inform Tianyun of his invasion of Tianhua, and let them immediately send troops to support and contain Tianyun.

At this time, the battle at Tianjing Pass was still going on.Just a few days ago, after Lin Yifan ordered the use of cannons to blow down a small section of the city wall, the two sides fought fiercely at this small gap.

Because the scope of combat is too narrow, the number of troops capable of direct combat is less than [-].Even so, after a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured on both sides.

Relying on their weapons, the Tianhua Army kept suppressing Cao Jun. The entire Tianjing Pass was in a mess, and blood flowed like a river.Cao Jun, on the other hand, took advantage of the favorable location, tenaciously defended among the broken walls, and resisted the Tianhua Army's attack without giving an inch.

Lin Yifan watched the battle on the city wall with a sinking face. The resistance to Cao Jun was indeed beyond his imagination.But it's no wonder that the situation in the Central Plains has been turbulent in the past few years, and the rebellion in Leizhou and Haizhou has made Cao Jun continue to accept the baptism of war, and his combat effectiveness has naturally increased a lot.

Having this discovery made Lin Yifan firmer in his determination to completely wipe out Cao Jun in this battle, otherwise, if they were allowed to develop again, they would be Tianhua's greatest enemy.

Just two days ago, Lin Yifan received the news from the Central Route Army. Now Luo Yi had led his army to the east side of Tianjingguan, but was blocked by Cao Jun one after another, so that the advance was hindered to some extent.If there were no accidents, in another day, they would be able to reach under the Guandong wall of the courtyard.At that time, the two armies will attack on both sides, and they can eat the 30 Cao troops in one go.

As long as the Tianjing Pass is taken, the passage to the Central Plains will be completely opened up, and the Zhongqing and Qingzhou states will be taken down.Lin Yifan planned to lead an army of 20 troops to the south of Leizhou, and from here to attack the hinterland of Tianyun, so as to support the defenders of Shazhou and deter Tianyun.Since Tian Yun dared to provoke him at this time, he would have to pay the price.

On the second day, the battle at Tianjingguan became more tragic.According to the information sent by the hot air balloon, Luo Yi's army has arrived on the east side of the courtyard pass, and is currently storming the pass wall.

Lin Yifan was overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to continue attacking to put pressure on Cao Jun.

However, at this moment, an urgent military message was delivered quickly.

Lin Yifan frowned and took a look, his face changed suddenly, this was the military sentiment from the grassland.The Mobei people led an army of 20 to the south and fought against the grassland garrison in Beizhou.Yang Mingyuan led an army of 20, and with Kunxie City as the center, he tried his best to deal with the Mobei people, preventing them from going south in Beizhou.But because of this, the land of Beizhou was corrupted, and all the previous efforts were in vain.

What worries Lin Yifan even more is that the grassland has not yet been fully consolidated, and the strength of the various tribes is still there. Now only [-] garrisons have been deployed to deter the tribes, and the risk is extremely high.Once there is a rebellion among the tribes, it will sweep the entire grassland. Not only will the grassland fall into chaos, but it will directly affect the morale of tens of thousands of tribal soldiers under Yang Mingyuan's command.

After this incident, Lin Yifan finally realized that this time the Tianyun army went north and the Mobei people went south, they must have been bewitched and lured by the Cao family.Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for such a coincidence to launch almost at the same time.So, since Tianyun Kingdom and Mobei people are colluding with the Cao family, what about the big countries around the Western Regions?Was he also drawn over by Cao Ziyan?

If this is the case, Tianhua will not only face the siege of two or three countries, but seven.The Seven Kingdoms attacked China, just thinking about it makes people feel blood coagulation and trembling.

Lin Yifan couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered the cabinet to formulate a national wartime system as soon as possible. If a major crisis really occurred, he could quickly gather troops, stabilize internal order, and convert all national resources into military use.At the same time, let the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately issue a call-up order in Xia'an and two states, summoning [-] militia and cavalry troops to go to the grassland to support Yang Mingyuan.

After thinking about it, although there was no news from the Western Regions, Lin Yifan still didn't dare to be careless. The four countries surrounding the Western Regions could gather at least one million troops.But now the main force of the Tianhua Army is all in the east, and there are very few who can support them.What he is most worried about now is that once the four countries attack, the Tianjiguan garrison will be surrounded, while Hou Mingfeng's troops and the Duhufu army can only retreat in the Shasha Desert.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was too late or not, Lin Yifan immediately sent a message to the Western Regions, so that after being attacked by various countries, if they could not hold on, they could all retreat to Tianmen Pass and give up the Western Regions completely.When that time really comes, he won't be able to control the life and death of those countries in the Western Regions.

In fact, what Lin Yifan didn't know was that at this time, the war in the Western Regions had already started.The two Great Golden Wolf Khanates in the East and West united together, raised 40 troops, divided into two groups, and went straight to the northern countries.

The more than ten thousand Tianhua troops stationed in Yizi City saw the enemy's strength, so they immediately abandoned the city and retreated to the south.After Hou Mingfeng learned of the military situation in the north, he immediately summoned an army of [-], went north to block the two khanates, and tried his best to evacuate the people in the Central Plains.

At Tianjiguan, the Shayier Khanate and the Ukanr Sultanate once again formed a coalition force, with a total of 60 troops, and sent troops to Tianjiguan.At this time, Shi Shouyi had less than 60 soldiers and horses in his hands, but before receiving the order to retreat, he had to stick to this place and try his best to prevent the coalition forces from advancing eastward.Otherwise, once these [-] troops flood into the Western Regions, the consequences will be disastrous.

Today, in order to prevent any mistakes, the people of the Central Plains who migrated to the Western Regions have to be driven by the army, reluctantly leave the homes they have built with great difficulty, and return to the Central Plains one after another.Some people insisted on refusing to leave the Western Regions, and the Tianhua Army didn't show any courtesy to them, they immediately arrested them and escorted them away.In this way, amidst the complaints, the Central Plains people in the Western Regions were empty.

But the countries in the Western Regions couldn't leave. When they learned that the four countries were attacking China, they turned pale with fright, and kept crying and begging the Tianhua Army to give them a place of refuge.But now the Western Regions can be said to be safe, only the oasis in the Chasha Desert, but this oasis is limited and cannot accommodate too many people at all.Therefore, Murong Kang rejected the requests of the various countries, but let them stick to their respective cities.In order to ease the emotions of the various nations, Murong Kang also comforted them, with the presence of the Tianhua Army, the Four Kingdoms may not be able to invade the Western Regions.It was only then that Zhu Guo remembered that it was the same situation back then, and it was Tianhua who won in the end.It is also because of this that the countries in the Western Regions have settled down a little bit.It's just that they didn't know that what Tianhua suffered at this time was not the four countries' joint attack, but the seven countries' attack on China.
