Chapter 719 Attack on Qingzhou
At this time, Qingzhou never thought that there would be enemies at sea.When endless ships are all over the sea, heading towards the mainland.The fishermen along the coast could not help but drive their small boats in panic, fleeing one after another.

"Warriors of the empire, the Central Plains is right in front of you, go for it!" Zhuo Shengtunyuan shouted loudly, and immediately, thousands of ships accelerated forward and soon reached the coast.

Countless Dongyang Imperial Army frantically rushed into the mainland, and many fishermen who had no time to escape were all killed.

As the 20 Dongyang Army assembled, under the general's order, the soldiers split up and went to all counties and counties in Qingzhou.

However, in a few days, the counties and counties located along the eastern coast of Qingzhou were completely burned by the flames of war, more than a dozen county towns were breached, and countless civilians were killed and tortured.

Military information drifted to the state capital like snowflakes, and then passed it to Lin Yifan.

Qingzhou has only been occupied for less than two years, and because it is on the front line, the Hengshan system has not been fully implemented.Therefore, the people of Qingzhou have never been recruited by the government as militiamen for military training.

When the Dongyang Army was massacring, the Qingzhou government couldn't organize many battle-ready soldiers for a while.The young and strong recruited hastily by many counties, because they have no combat experience, they are not opponents of the Dongyang Army at all.Not long after the city held its ground, it was captured and turned into a hell.

When Qingzhou sent an emergency military situation, Lin Yifan still felt strange, how could there be a problem in Qingzhou in the rear?When he read the letter, his face suddenly changed.The Dongyang Army, which came out of nowhere, entered Qingzhou, burning, killing and looting wantonly.

Lin Yifan was not familiar with the sudden appearance of the Dongyang Army, but he knew that this country was an island country outside the East China Sea, and had never been in contact with the Central Plains.The sudden appearance now must have a great relationship with Cao Ziyan.

Lin Yifan became angry immediately, looked in the direction of Haocheng, gritted his teeth and roared: "Cao Ziyan, you are a sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages for colluding with other races to invade the Central Plains. I swear, I will let you die without a place to die."

Hate turns to hate, but the first thing to solve now is the 20 Dongyang army that invaded Qingzhou.Thanks to Cao Ziyan, Qingzhou is now empty of troops and has no ability to resist.If we don't rush to help as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the whole Qingzhou will become a hunting ground for foreigners.

But now my 20 army can't move lightly. If it moves, Cao's army will come out to attack Luo Yi's army in Jinzhou.

Lin Yifan sent a letter to the north, ordering the tens of thousands of grassland troops lurking in Mingzhou to immediately go south to Qingzhou to encircle and suppress the Dongyang army.On the one hand, he sent a letter to inform the cabinet and ordered him to immediately dispatch all the garrisons in Huazhou to Qingzhou for assistance.At the same time, he ordered the Tianhua navy in Yanzhou and the Longjiang navy to go out to sea and attack the Dongyang fleet. They must completely wipe out the enemy ships and prevent them from fleeing back to the country.

It's a pity that although it is now known that Cao Ziyan is in collusion with Dongyang, Lin Yifan is unable to punish Cao Ziyan for righteousness because there is no evidence.

However, Lin Yifan was not without countermeasures. Not long after, he held up the "Call to Foreigners" again, denouncing the disaster and consequences of alien invasion of the Central Plains, calling on all parties to temporarily stop fighting against foreign countries.

In order to take the lead, Lin Yifan ordered Luo Yi's army to withdraw from Jinzhou and return to the border of Zhongzhou to show his sincerity.At the same time, an open letter was issued, proposing to all parties to stop the internal fighting and jointly safeguard the righteousness of the Chinese people.

This letter quickly spread throughout the world, and everyone praised Tianhua's righteous deeds. Bai Yunting had no choice but to stand up in the face of raging public opinion and the worsening domestic situation, and chose to reach an agreement with Lin Yifan , suspend internal fighting, unanimously external.

Therefore, after the Tianhua Army withdrew from Jinzhou, the Tianyun Army finally got a respite, and once again mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to go to the country to quell the chaos.

Now, only the remaining two forces are quite embarrassed, and they don't know what to do for a while.

In the end, under pressure, the Gu family in Haizhou had no choice but to stand up and announce their support for Tianhua's foreign policy, and dispatched the Haizhou navy to Qingzhou to beat the Dongyang fleet.

The remaining Cao family forces chose to remain silent.Instead, they mobilized troops and launched a counterattack against Lin Yifan, trying to continue to contain Tianhua's troops.

Lin Yifan was furious, so naturally he would not be polite, and sent troops to attack Cao's army in a large scale. The demoralized Cao army retreated steadily, and more than ten cities were taken by Tianhua.

At this moment in the Imperial Palace of Haodu, Cao Ziyan's hair became even paler. He looked at the officials with a livid face, and shouted sharply: "I am not wrong. If I don't take this opportunity to contain the Tianhua Army and attack the enemy with the Dongyang Army. My God How can Wei turn defeat into victory and regain the Central Plains?"

"Your Majesty, the righteousness of the Chinese people is now on Tianhua's side. If we don't respond, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people will be greatly lost and the morale of the army will be broken, which will not be good for me." Shen Li tried hard to persuade.

"Hehe, the Dongyang Army was originally summoned by us, but at this time they betrayed their promises. How do you ask me to convince the people of the world?" Cao Ziyan sneered.

"Your Majesty, our covenant with Dongyang is just a verbal covenant, not written on paper. As long as we refuse to admit it to death, even if Tianhua knows the truth, he will not be able to do anything to us." Shen Li said in a deep voice, "If we continue to fight with the Tianhua army Fighting each other will only make people in the world feel that Dongyang and I are colluding with each other, and this matter must be investigated."

"So what?" Cao Ziyan looked at him in despair, "Even if I respond to righteousness, can I survive? No, after Tianhua put down the Dongyang Army, we will be next. Then Lin Yifan already knew that I was in collusion As a foreigner, he must wish to cut me into pieces in his heart. Because of this, it is better to fight hard, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life."

"Your Majesty, do you still want to keep making mistakes?" Shen Li said sadly with his body trembling, "If the late emperor was still around, he would definitely not have done this."

"That's enough, Shen Li." Cao Ziyan was furious suddenly, and stared at him coldly, "Don't involve everything on my father, he is him, and I am me. Don't think that you are an old minister of my father, and I will just let you go." I will always be patient with you. If you still want to serve me, then stay, if you don't want to, then get out!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to the Cao family, but I just don't want to see you jump into the abyss." Shen Li fell to his knees, kowtowed and cried.

"Come on, drag this old dog out for me, I don't want to see him again." Cao Ziyan was furious, and immediately ordered.

Soon, the imperial guards rushed forward and carried Shen Li out of the hall.

Looking at the figure gradually going away, Cao Ziyan couldn't help coughing loudly, and when he took his hand, he saw that the palm of his hand was bright red.

"Retire!" Cao Ziyan clenched his palm tightly and shouted weakly.

After the officials left, Cao Ziyan dismissed the surrounding eunuchs and guards, and sat on the throne blankly.Looking at the blood on the palm of his hand, he felt desolate in his heart.

"Shen Li, I know that you are a loyal minister of my Cao family. But I have made a big mistake and there is no way back. I hope you will take care of yourself."
