The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 768 Surrender without a fight
Lin Yifan spent a long time, but no one in the city replied.Could it be that Cao Ziyan still intends to continue to resist?

Just when he was hesitating whether to order an attack, a man was suddenly hung from the city wall and rushed towards the Tianhua camp.

Just when Lin Yifan thought it was Cao Ziyan's reply, the envoy said bluntly that this time he was ordered by civil and military officials to ask him to surrender.

Lin Yifan couldn't help being amazed, and immediately asked why, only then did he know that since the army besieged the city, Cao Ziyan had closed the gate of the palace tightly and no longer communicated with the ministers.The ministers were helpless, and after deliberation, they unanimously decided to surrender.

Lin Yifan was greatly surprised by this, why did Cao Ziyan make such an unwise move?Such a chilling move can only show that he has lost confidence in resistance and chose to give up on himself.But it is very likely that he wanted to die wholeheartedly, refused to be wronged and humiliated, and said the word surrender himself, but let the ministers make their own decisions.

However, since Cao Jun no longer harbored hostility, Lin Yifan was naturally happy and tolerant.Immediately stated that as long as they were willing to surrender, Tianhua would definitely not make things difficult for them.Those who are willing to be officials can still enter the Tianhua system.Those who don't want to be an official can also return to the village and become a rich man.

The envoy couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately bid farewell to Lin Yifan, and returned to tell everyone the good news.In view of Emperor Tianhua's good reputation, since he said so, he has no intention of going back on his word.Therefore, under Gan Zongwang's order, the four gates of Haocheng were opened wide, and tens of thousands of Cao troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered, kneeling all over the city wall.

The Tianhua army rushed into the city immediately, confiscated the weapons on the ground, and took all the surrendered troops to the barracks for custody.Immediately afterwards, the Hundred Thousand Heavenly Chinese Army continued to pour into Haocheng to maintain the stability in the city.

At this moment, the entire city was guarded by only a few thousand guards in the imperial palace, and was soon surrounded by tens of thousands of Tianhua legionaries. They only waited for the military order to launch an attack immediately.

But at this moment, at the location of Tianwei Chaotang, a puff of black smoke curled up from it, and soon the flames were seen overflowing and blazing.

When the guards in the palace saw it, they all turned their heads and knelt down to the place where the fire broke out, crying bitterly.The Tianhua army was shocked when they saw this, and immediately attacked the palace.But at this time, the guards had already given up resistance and let the Tianhua army bind them.When the army arrived at the main hall, the fire had already blocked the way, and everyone could only watch helplessly as the main hall turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Immediately, the Tianhua army marched to all parts of the palace to wipe out all resisting forces.When they rushed into the harem, they saw dozens of guards guarding a group of women and children.

Looking at the approaching Tianhua army, a graceful and luxurious woman inside shouted and ordered the guards to get out of the way.Then he walked to the front of the Tianhua army, held his head high, and shouted: "This palace is the queen of the Tianwei dynasty, who among you is in charge?"

A general stood up from the middle and said in a deep voice: "I am the Battalion Commander of the Tianhua Army, now that the prestige of the court is gone, please wait and arrest."

Empress Shen's eyes showed a trace of panic, but she calmed down again, took out a letter, and said sadly: "This is a letter written by the first emperor, please give it to the emperor of your country."

The battalion commander's expression changed, and he immediately took the letter solemnly, and glanced at the crowd indifferently, "Everyone stay alert on the spot and keep an eye on them."

After finishing speaking, he took the letter and rushed outside the palace.

After several layers of passing, the letter was quickly delivered to Lin Yifan.When he read the letter written by Cao Ziyan himself, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.Cao Ziyan refused to bow his head to become a minister even to death, willing to set himself on fire and die for the country.But for his wife and children, he begged him humbly in the letter, hoping that he would let them go.

After closing the letter, Lin Yifan immediately ordered that Empress Cao Ziyan and all her children be brought back to the capital and settled properly.Now that the overall situation has been decided, Cao Ziyan was buried in the sea of ​​flames, and the past enmity can be regarded as written off.

As the army captured Haocheng, the Central Plains finally completed the unification.At the side hall of the original Haocheng Imperial Palace, all the generals congratulated His Majesty on his unification of the world and his mighty glory.

After accepting the congratulations from the generals, Lin Yifan did not show any complacency. Instead, he was shown a huge map, which depicted the survey and mapping of the past few years through secret spies and business trips, visiting and traveling around the world. Atlas of the world.

In this map, from Dongyang to the west, to the west of the Shayier Khanate; from Mobei to the south, to the south of Vientiane Yunzhao.

Lin Yifan took off his shoes and socks, walked up to the big map, looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, at this moment we can know the world, but there are countless kingdoms farther away that are unknown. And We, Tianhua, now only occupy a corner of the entire world."

As he spoke, Lin Yifan picked up a red pen and traced along the map, roughly outlining Tianhua's current territory.The general took a closer look, and saw that Tianhua's territory was like a huge torch, with a small bottom and a huge top. Although the territory looked very vast, it always felt very awkward.

Lin Yifan looked up at the crowd, and said with a smile, "What do you guys think?"

"Your Majesty, the last general feels that something is missing. If Tianyun is taken back, the Central Plains will be considered a monolith." A general said first.

"No, even if Tianyun is taken back, it can't change the shortcomings of the Central Plains. The general thinks that Yunzhao and the countries south of Haizhou should be taken down to make up for the lack of the south. These countries are really an eyesore. They should directly Clean up." Another general pointed at the map with a flash of his eyes.

"Hehe, the eyes of the two of you are still too narrow." Murong Tan smiled, pointing to the huge territory on the map and said, "In the eyes of the general, only by taking eternity into his pocket can we make no one in the west of the Central Plains." Hidden dangers. Going away, occupying the eternal plateau, our army can help defend the Western Regions to the north, go straight to Wukaner to the west, and the kingdoms of Vientiane to the south. This is a huge strategic place, and the enemy has it. Our Central Plains and the Western Regions will not have peace, if I get it, the western countries will be ruled by our country."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their attention to the huge territory west of Tianyun.Before, because of the relationship between Eternity and Tianhua as allies, they ignored it for a while.When I looked at it again at this time, I couldn't help but nodded secretly.The eternal geographical location is indeed very important.If he can't get it, Tianhua will face enemies on both sides. Once the opponent cuts off the long corridor and ancient road west of Shazhou, the Western Regions will be cut off from the Central Plains.If Tianhua occupies this place, the Central Plains will be surrounded on all sides, and there will be no foreign troubles.At the same time, with the Eternal Plateau, the defensive power of the Western Regions will be greatly enhanced, and Wukaner, Vientiane and other countries will be completely under the threat of our army. Once the situation changes, they can take timely action.

Everyone quickly realized His Majesty's purpose today. It turned out that His Majesty's ambitions were far beyond the Central Plains, but set his sights on the barbarians from all over the world.At the same time, it also pointed out a way to move forward for their army.
