The other four marquis of Yangzhou also reacted quickly, and soon they replied to Mu Tian with a letter.

The letter was written very politely, they said that they were willing to unite with Mutian's Flowing Year Legion, please note that it was not a surrender, but an alliance.

They said that their legion could become an alliance legion with Mu Tian's Flowing Year Legion, and at the same time they were willing to serve Mu Tian as the leader of the alliance, and they were also willing to honor Mu Tian as the Duke of Yangzhou.

However, the condition is that each legion is independent, Mu Tian, the leader of the alliance, only has nominal control, and any action of the alliance can only be carried out after the meeting of all members, Mu Tian cannot act arbitrarily, he must listen to the opinions of the alliance, and the minority obeys the majority.

In addition, the territory between them is absolutely independent, and the economy and politics are ruled by the various alliances themselves, and the Legion of the Flowing Years does not want to reach into their territory with a single hand.

All in all, he is willing to give Mu Tian a good name, but in essence, Mu Tian doesn't want to get any of them.

"Foolish!" Mu Tian directly threw the letter in his hand aside, the ideas of these four marquis are too good, not only do they have to be independent, but they also want to use the alliance to limit themselves.

What is the matter that the alliance does not agree with, and you can't act arbitrarily, so if the alliance wants to surrender to Cook Jobs, and then the other members vote in favor, you must surrender to Cook Jobs with you?

"Get out!" Mu Tian called the messengers of the four marquises, and then directly threw the letter in the other party's face, "Tell your marquis, Lao Tzu gives them five days, either obediently open the city gate and wait for my army to enter, or prepare the whole family to die!" ”

"By the way, it's too troublesome for you to guess, I'll attack Xinyang County first in 5 days, let's talk with our fists!" Mu Tian's words fell, and the four unlucky messengers were directly thrown out, and then ran back to their master and brought Mu Tian's words with them.

"This Mu Tian is so amazing!" Hearing the envoy's reply, the marquis were stunned, they actually knew in their hearts that it was almost impossible for Mu Tian to agree to this alliance. But the idea is that this matter can be negotiated at the negotiating table.

The two sides each took a few steps back to maintain their bottom line, they didn't expect to be able to restrict Mu Tian by voting, they were also willing to follow Mu Tian's back and shout, but the final bottom line was that Mu Tian would never be able to insert his hand into their territory.

These marquis felt that if the negotiation went well, then they would form an alliance that was acceptable to both parties, and if Mu Tian really ruled the world in the future, then they would be able to mix up as dukes.

If Cook Jobs is the son of destiny, then they also have enough strength to draw a line with Mu Tian, and at the same time secretly cooperate with Cook Jobs.

If the negotiation doesn't go well, it doesn't matter, the negotiation always takes time, you have a condition, I have a condition back and forth, and a few months have passed, and then I secretly get in touch with Cook Jobs, get his support, and then fight with Mu Tian I don't know who wins and who loses.

But these marquis never expected that Mu Tian would have no interest in uniting them to talk, so they directly drove the envoy back and announced the start of the war...... This Mu Tian was arrogant and directly stated his primary attack target.

"What are we going to do?" Among the 4 marquises, the marquis of Xinyang City is about the most panicked, Mu Tian has already named him to attack his territory first, and he is not in a panic to have a ghost. With Mu Tian's current strength, he only has the power of his Xinyang County, and he doesn't think he can stop Mu Tian.

"Why don't you talk about it later?" A marquis said.

"Talk about it? What is there to talk about, I can see it, this Mu Tian doesn't plan to talk to us at all, he just wants us to kneel in front of him as grandsons! ”

"Yes, there is nothing to talk about, we have to fight, only by fighting and letting this Mu Tian know that we are not easy to mess with, he will be willing to sit down at the negotiating table again and talk to them!"

"That's it! Must fight! The four marquis quickly reached an agreement, that is, the two sides must fight, at least Mu Tian will be hurt, scared, and he will know the powerful position.

"Then in that case, I will give you all the troops gathered in my Xinyang County within 5 days, and we will fight to the death with Mu Tian!" Seeing that everyone was united, the Marquis of Xinyang County also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said.

"Well...... this one" The atmosphere of hatred and hatred instantly stiffened a little.

"Things can't be said like this, this Mu Tian is very cunning, he said that if he attacks Xinyang City first, he will definitely attack Xinyang City?" The Marquis of Anyang County took the lead in speaking.

"That's it, this guy Mu Tian has always been an extremely cunning guy, he won't attack you so honestly, he must be suspicious, maybe his real target is my Miyang County." If we really concentrate all our forces in your Xinyang County, and then he is in my Miyang County as if he is in a no-man's land, this battle cannot be fought like this! ”

"That's right!"

"And what do you want? How do you want to fight? "The Marquis of Xinyang County feels that he is not so angry with these guys that he collapses directly, what a miracle!

"In this way, let's gather our forces and wait on our borders! If Mu Tianzhen attacks Xinyang County, then we will go over to support as soon as possible. Similarly, if Mu Tian doesn't keep his word and attacks other territories, we can also support the past as soon as possible! ”

"In addition, we can borrow troops from Jiangzhou, Huazhou and all other forces that are hostile to Mu Tian, in order to contain Mu Tian, they will definitely borrow some troops to support us, maybe in the end we can destroy Mu Tian in turn!"

This plan quickly won unanimous praise in addition to the Marquis of Xinyang County, although the Marquis of Xinyang County kept saying that he really couldn't withstand such an attack, but the other marquis were really not at ease.

In the end, these marquis collectively promised to the Marquis of Xinyang City, and even signed a Shenmu contract, as long as the Marquis of Xinyang County can hold out for ten days, their army will definitely be able to gather in Xinyang County, and in turn have a decisive battle with Mutian.

Thus, such a big battle that decided the ownership of the entire Yangzhou began.

The first to make a move was Mu Tian, this time Mu Tian really didn't play any tricks, after a few months of development, Mu Tian already has more than 200 vassal legions, adding up to a total of 100,000 troops.

However, these 100,000 people did not pour out of the nest, in fact, Mu Tian only brought the first, second, and fifth brigades of the Liunian Legion Headquarters, adding up to a total of 9,000 troops, and the other soldiers from the vassal legions, Mu Tian did not bring any of them, and all stayed in their respective cities for defense.

And the direction of the army's advance is also very clear, that is, Xinyang County, which is directly bordered by Leiyang County.

After hearing Mu Tian's military situation, the four marquis of Yangzhou were all very surprised, they attached great importance to the intelligence of the Flowing Year Legion, so they also knew that after a few months of development, the Flowing Year Legion had swelled to the scale of 100,000 people.

And in order to fight against the Liunian Legion, the various marquis also frantically developed their own forces, and the surrounding vassals of all kinds, the combined strength of the four counties also has a scale of nearly 100,000 people.

In other words, the entire Yangzhou now has an army of 200,000 people.

This is still limited by the number and level of the legion orders, and if the speed of the orders is enough, these marquis can pull out a million troops!

To get back to the point, when only the 9,000-strong army of the headquarters regiment was dispatched, the expressions of several marquis were first shocked, and then a burst of ecstasy.

"This Mu Tian is so big, he actually only sent a mere 9,000 people to attack us, is he crazy!" The Marquis of Miyang County laughed.

"It's true, my spies have been staring at Leiyang County...... I know that his Qingluan has the ability to teleport over long distances, so I also deliberately distributed 10 thief regiments and nearly 2,000 thieves in the map of Leiyang County, in order to find out the whereabouts of his troops, so I can guarantee 100% that at least now Mutian has only sent 9,000 people, and there is no more! The Marquis of Xinyang County said with an oath.

"Hmph, this Mu Tian must be arrogant and accustomed to winning, so he thinks that only 9,000 people can defeat us, but he doesn't know that we already have 100,000 horses, and everyone can drown all his troops if they spit on them." The Marquis of Anyang County said with a wild laugh.

"Marquis Chen Buyan, don't worry, this time we will win. You don't have to worry about the gains and losses of one city and one place with Mu Tian, you will concentrate all your troops in your county town, and then drag Mu Tian's troops down, and the troops we have now placed on the border have been approaching your Xinyang City at full speed! ”

"You only need to hold out for five days, and after five days, all of our troops will arrive, and Mu Tian will definitely die!"

"No problem, let alone three days, even if it is 30 days on hand, it is no problem, my Xinyang City has replaced all the city walls with high-grade city walls, defending the spiritual magic array, I also have enough psionic crystals, and there are still 40,000 troops in the city, if Mu Tian can break through my city, my name will be written upside down!" Marquis Chen Buyan said conclusively, and all the marquis let out a cheerful laugh.

The whole plan went very smoothly, and on the second day after the battle began, Mu Tian's army entered the range of Xinyang County, and several county towns on the border did not put up any resistance at all, and directly surrendered...... Under Chen Buyan's order, their barons had already withdrawn to the Xinyang County City in advance.

On the third day after the battle began, Mutian's army swept all the way and was already approaching the city of Xinyang County.

At the same time, the armies of the other three counties also entered Xinyang County from three directions, and they advanced at high speed all the way, and it was only two days away from Xinyang County at this time.

In other words, Mu Tian only had one day at most to attack Xinyang City, because after one day, Mu Tian would be surrounded by the enemy's army.
