The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 737

"Hehe, even Tianhua, my brother and enemy, don't know enough about me." Liang Shicheng said with a smile, "In our eyes, it doesn't matter who the Central Plains belongs to, as long as it is still the Central Plains of the Central Plains people. But we will never tolerate foreign races meddling in the Central Plains." If you move, you will die and the country will perish."

Lian Haiping couldn't help but stared at him in a daze, and said in his heart, what a domineering Tianhua.However, his heart was pounding, and his blood couldn't help but boil.

"Brother Liang, in this way, your country is preparing to abandon the war situation in the Central Plains, retreat to the mainland, and deal with Dongyang with all its strength?" Lian Haiping asked tentatively.

"Haha, this is just a guess of mine, I can't say for sure, I can't tell." Liang Shicheng couldn't help laughing, and didn't respond positively at all.

Even Haiping couldn't help but become eager. If Haizhou can cooperate with Tianhua again during the Eastern Expedition, then he can lead the army to fight.He couldn't restrain his heart agitation at the thought of killing wantonly on the land of Dongyang people.

However, he also understands that the master's mind has always been on the mainland, and he only thinks about being able to survive among the powers and become the master of Haizhou.For this kind of frontier expansion and overseas expeditions, they are not so enthusiastic at all.The reason why they were able to fight this time was because Emperor Tianhua sent envoys and made various promises before ordering them to intercept the Dongyang people.

"Here, Lian congratulates brother Liang for winning the flag and making many military exploits." Lian Haiping cupped his hands at Liang Shicheng bitterly, with a lonely expression.

Liang Shicheng knew that the two of them were not close friends at this time, and there were some things he couldn't speak directly, so he immediately laughed, and then used his experience in talking about naval battles.

When it comes to naval battles, Lian Haiping is very envious of Tianhua's warship that can carry artillery and attack from a long distance, so it is inherently invincible.However, their Haizhou has not even been able to use artillery on a large scale in the army and city defense until now, let alone their navy.Furthermore, their warships are not suitable for carrying artillery. If they want to build a gunboat like the Tianhua Navy, they need to start from scratch, and the money they need is a bottomless pit.With this money, it is better to recruit more troops and cast more artillery. It is impossible to waste these resources on them.

With so many things on his mind, Lian Haiping's conversation was not very enjoyable. Seeing this, Liang Shicheng had no choice but to get up and leave.

The two armies left one after another, one from the south and the other from the north. Only then did Liang Shicheng have time to write a letter and summon him back.

A few days later, Lin Yifan finally received the military report from the sea, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the entire Dongyang army wiped out.

At this time, the army is still under Chen Bing and Haodu. Although Dongyang is destroyed, the battle in the Central Plains is still not over.However, Lin Yifan has no interest in continuing the fight anymore. In order to wipe out the Dongyang people, Lin Yifan promised Cao Ziyan that as long as he is willing to give up the ship, he will suspend the offensive against Weizhou for a period of one year.This forced Cao Ziyan to finally give up all the remaining naval ships.Because Cao Ziyan had no choice at this time, if he refused to agree to Lin Yifan's proposal, then the Tianhua Propaganda Department would insist on his collusion with Dongyang people, which would ruin his reputation.And Tianhua's more than 30 troops will attack Haodu with all their strength, and destroy his Tianwei Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Now that the promise was made, Lin Yifan was not prepared to break it.At this time, in his heart, he was planning the Eastern Expedition.The Dongyang people's invasion this time made him annoyed. In the past ten years, they have conquered from east to west and finally pacified the barbarians in all directions, so that there will be no foreign invasion in the Central Plains. , there is a powerful navy in the sky, but they don't even have a sense of coastal defense.This is far more serious than the northern troubles back then. If the capital of the country was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, once the Dongyang people drove straight in, the capital would be occupied before the soldiers and horses were assembled.

Now that the battle was over, Lin Yifan simply ordered the army to withdraw from Haodu. The tens of thousands of troops who had originally moved south were stationed in Qinyang County to monitor the movements of Cao's army.As for the surrounding counties and counties of Qinyang County, Lin Yifan accepted it without any hesitation.Cao Ziyan's act of colluding with the Dongyang people made the people of Qinyang, who were deeply poisoned by the Dongyang people, hate him deeply, and naturally refused to accept the rule of the Cao family.Cao Ziyan seemed to understand this too, and never mentioned the matter of returning Qinyang.

And Lin Yifan's 20 cavalry rushed to the Zhongzhou camp to join Luo Yi's troops.At this point, the Central Plains War, which lasted for more than a year, returned to the original point again, except that the Tianhua Army occupied Qinyang County in the northern part of Weizhou, and Haizhou received the two counties sent by Tianyun.

After leaving the army in the Zhongzhou camp, Lin Yifan returned to Huazhou, and began to gather troops and deploy the Eastern Expedition.

In this regard, there are great differences within the cabinet. Some people think that the war situation in the Central Plains has reached the point where it has to be launched. At this time, the Eastern Expedition is simply putting the cart before the horse and is extremely unwise.Some people also believe that the Eastern Expedition cannot be completed overnight. If you want the Eastern Expedition, you need to fully expand the size of the navy and build a large number of ocean-going transport ships, and these cannot be completed overnight.At the same time, some people expressed their support for the Eastern Expedition, but the Central Plains War must continue, and strive to eliminate one of them as soon as possible to relieve Tianhua's pressure.However, he also expressed some dissatisfaction with the suspension of the Central Plains War without any preparations, which made the Central Plains War anticlimactic.

Although these dissatisfaction were very subtle, Lin Yifan could feel that everyone was very puzzled and dissatisfied with his actions.However, he has his considerations. The Battle of the Central Plains has lasted for more than a year, and the army is exhausted, spending countless money, food and supplies every day.If it continues, even if Tianhua is well prepared, he may not be able to bear it.In addition, Qingzhou has suffered from this disaster, and the eastern part has been corrupted, and it is in urgent need of restoration and reconstruction.

More importantly, Lin Yifan didn't want to let go of this opportunity. He had to take advantage of Dongyang's strength loss just now and the whole country knew nothing about it, so he quickly dispatched troops to attack Dongyang.Otherwise, when Dongyang is ready, it will be much more difficult for the army to take Dongyang in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Lin Yifan took one year to stabilize the forces of all parties.First eliminate the threat from the east, and then strive to unify the world.

However, just as everyone is worried, the strength of all parties will be steadily improved, and it will definitely be more difficult to defeat them at that time than it is now.Lin Yifan was well aware of this, but he knew that time was on their side.Tianwei is broken, only one state is left, and there is no strength to fight against Tianhua.However, Haizhou was separated from a corner of the land, with only the heart of self-preservation, but no ambition to make progress, so it did not pose much threat to Tianhua.As for Tianyun, Tianhua was indeed the one who had the most headaches before, but now that he is being harassed by eternity, how can he still have the ability to return to the original picture?Therefore, there will not be much change in all parties during this year.

On the contrary, he is Tianhua, with a vast territory and a large population, who can fully withstand the pressure of war.One year later, Tianhua will only be stronger than now, and this is Lin Yifan's confidence.
