Chapter 734
In late February, Lin Yifan led his army to stop Dongyang's army and joined Lu Zhan's army.

There are hostages in Dongyang, but they are not too afraid of Tianhua.Zhu Shengtun could tell that the Tianhua Army was very concerned about the life and death of these civilians.This is undoubtedly a stupid behavior in his opinion, but it is their only hope of escape.

Therefore, Zhu Shengtunyuan immediately pushed out 1 civilians, knelt down in front of the formation, raised the butcher knife, and threatened the Tianhua army. If they refused to give way, the heads of these [-] people would fall to the ground.

Lin Yifan knew that they would definitely do what they said, because they were already in a dead end and had no scruples anymore.So, he immediately ordered the cavalry to separate and make way for the road leading to Haodu.

Zhu Shengtunyuan led the army proudly and continued to advance towards Haodu.The Tianhua Army's more than 30 troops followed from afar, unable to do anything.

A few days later, Dongyang Army finally arrived under Hao City.Afterwards, Lin Yifan led the army, and also stationed more than ten miles away.

After the soldiers of the Dongyang army approached the city, they immediately sent someone to inform Cao Ziyan, asking him to provide ships for the army to cross the sea immediately.But what responded to them was the head of the messenger, thrown off the city wall.

Cao Ziyan had already separated himself from Dongyang, so how could he dare to compromise with them.So he beheaded the messenger forcefully to show his toughness.

Zhu Shengtunyuan was furious immediately, and immediately repeated the same plan, pushing out 1 civilians and lining them up under the city, threatening the Tianwei Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ziyan was completely indifferent to this, although these captured hostages were his subjects.But it is impossible for him to agree to any conditions of Dongyang now. They wantonly massacred Miao in the Central Plains, which aroused the anger of both people and gods. If they let them go, how can he explain to the people of the world?What's more, these hostages have already developed resentment towards Tianwei, and now his hometown is in Tianhua's hands.Strictly speaking, these hostages are already considered as Tianhua people.He didn't want to hand over the only remaining warships for the people who hated him.

Facing the situation where Haocheng did not respond, Zhuo Shengtun couldn't help being anxious. He actually didn't want to execute the hostages at this time.Because doing so would only anger Tian Hua even more.But now Cao Jun has not indicated at all that if no action is taken, the next negotiation will be even more impossible.

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Shengtunyuan shouted sharply: "Kill me!"

The Dongyang army behind the hostages all raised their long knives and slashed down fiercely.Immediately, under the city of Haocheng, the corpses of [-] civilians lay in a row, and blood gradually spread.

The face of the defenders at the top of the city suddenly turned ashen, and they stared at the Dongyang army with fire-breathing eyes, wishing they could go out of the city and fight the Dongyang army immediately.

Cao Ziyan sat on the viewing platform above the wall with his eyes closed, unmoved at all, but his face became even paler.

When the scouts hurried back to report, Dongyang people beheaded 1 people.Lin Yifan immediately punched the ground and shouted angrily: "1 people, a full [-] people died like this. Okay, okay, I have written down this account. After I cross the sea and conquer the East, I will pay back ten times !"

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? We can't just watch like this?" Lu Zhan asked worriedly, "The general is worried that if Cao Jun refuses to agree to their conditions, he may kill again."

"The Dongyang army is heavily guarded now. Once our army launches an attack, the opponent may attack the hostages first." Lin Yifan said angrily, "It is easy to defeat them, but it is very difficult to rescue the hostages. If one is not careful, most of these hostages may be killed or injured. "

"Your Majesty, you mean to let Cao Jun agree to the request of the Dongyang people and let them cross the sea and return to China?" Lu Zhan asked tentatively.

"Let them go back to the country? It's a good idea." Lin Yifan snorted coldly, "I have a plan, which may prevent Dongyang people from escaping. But this plan requires the cooperation of Cao Ziyan to make it happen. I just don't know if Cao Ziyan is willing to cooperate with me ?”

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" Lu Zhan immediately cheered up and said loudly.

Immediately, Lin Yifan confided his plan to Lu Zhan.Soon after, Lu Zhan led thousands of people and quietly left the camp.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan sent envoys to the Dongyang Army and agreed to go to Hao City to persuade Cao Ziyan.Zhu Shengtunyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words. He was thinking about whether to launch another 1 hostage threat, but he didn't expect the Tianhua Army to stand up on his own initiative.

Therefore, while waiting in Zhusheng Tunyuan, the envoy of Tianhua finally entered the city, discussed with Cao Ziyan for an hour, and then returned, and told him that Cao Ziyan finally agreed to mobilize ships to the capital.It's just that the military port is in the south of Weizhou, and it will take some time to arrive.

Zhu Shengtun didn't doubt that he was there, after all, he had tens of thousands of hostages in his hands, so he was not afraid of the other party's tricks.The armies of the three parties settled down around Haocheng, waiting for the Tianwei fleet to arrive.

Ten days later, the Qingping navy stationed at the southern river port passed through the Shangshui, a tributary, and finally arrived at the Shangshui port south of Haodu.Thousands of ships crowded the port densely, stretching for more than ten miles.

When Zhu Shengtunyuan heard the news, he couldn't help being overjoyed.Immediately escorted the hostages to the port.

At this time, all the sailors of Cao Jun disembarked and headed for Haocheng.In this crowded port, although there are thousands of sails, it is silent.

Zhu Shengtunyuan was very cautious, and immediately dispatched some soldiers and horses to board the ship to check whether there were any traps.After the inspection, no abnormalities were found.But this didn't dispel his suspicions. He didn't believe that the other party would let them go so simply.

Therefore, after Zhu Shengtunyuan ordered the army to board the ship, he immediately dispatched several ships to explore downstream to avoid being ambushed by the other party.

After everything was back to normal, the restless pig lived in Tunyuan, knowing that this was his only chance, and regardless of whether there were any traps ahead, he immediately ordered the entire army to set off immediately, and the mighty fleet then slowly headed south.Tens of thousands of people were left on the shore, and finally got rid of Dongyang's clutches.

The Tianhua army came over immediately and took the people away from Haodu.In addition, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed directly to the south, following far behind the Dongyang Army.

Zhu Shengtunyuan also noticed the movement in the rear, but he didn't care anymore. No matter how strong the cavalry was, they couldn't fight on the water.As long as the army sails into the sea, the Tianhua Army will no longer be able to catch up with them.

A few days later, the fleet fully loaded with the Dongyang Army finally entered the Qingping River Basin, turned and headed east.

Along the way, although Zhu Shengtunyuan was cautious, he was afraid that a trap would suddenly appear.But the trip was unusually smooth, and there were no traps or ambushes at all.He couldn't help being a little confused, could it be that his Tianhua army really let them go like this?

But no, more than ten days later, when they were about to enter the seaport, they saw a densely packed boat waiting for them on the sea.
