Chapter 608: The Plan for Marriage
"Who are you?" Sima Yi looked at Zhou Tianci and asked slowly, "At such an age, you are already a first-class general, and there are second-rate generals under your command, such a background, even a wealthy family can't compare, you definitely can't be a civilian!"
Zhou Tianci shook his head with a smile, but his smile was a mockery of Sima Yi.
"Your family thinks that you are high above and that you have the world in your hands, but you don't know that the most terrifying force in this world is countless civilians. The royal families of Dajin, Daqin, Dahan, and Daming are all from civilian backgrounds, but after becoming royal, they gradually forgot their former identities. Look at it, in the next thirty years, there will be more and more reckless people stirring up the storm, and your proud origin will become a joke. ”
"Okay, then I'll see. Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said.
"Minister Sima Yi on behalf of the Sima family to meet the lord!" Sima Yi took two steps back and solemnly saluted Zhou Tianci.
Zhou Tianci laughed and put away his spear. Of course, he knew that a hero like Sima Yi was not so easy to convince, but he didn't care. After completely occupying Gaoping this time, he gained another 120,000 luck. It can also be exchanged for second-rate talents. When he completely occupies the Poor Water Prefecture, he will be able to exchange for first-class talents, and it will be a matter of time before he completely subdues the Sima family in the future.
After a period of chaos, order was restored to Gaoping City, and Zhou Tianci became the true master of this big city. Zhou Tianci imitated the official system of Dajin, led the state pastor, and Sima Yi served as the chief historian under his command, Guo Tu served as the army, and the rest of the officials were also from the five major families. Seeing him arrange it like this, the five major families were relieved and reluctantly agreed with Zhou Tianci's rule.
After recuperating for five days, Zhou Tianci personally led 50,000 troops to the expedition, and this time his target was other counties in Qianshui Prefecture. In just ten days, Zhou Tianci swept through thirteen counties and gained a lot of luck. However, the last two counties blocked Zhou Tianci's footsteps.
Yiyang County, Denglong County, the last two counties of Poor Water Prefecture, Zhou Tianci led troops to camp in the east of Yiyang County.
"I didn't expect the Mu family to have such strength...... "Zhou Tianci looked at Yiyang County from afar, and there was a big banner with the word "Mu" floating above Yiyang County. Under the banner, a handsome general wearing gold armor also looked at him, and the two fought in the air.
Two days ago, Zhou Tianci led his troops to attack Yiyang County. Yiyang County is where the Mu family of the Dajin Hao clan is located, but Zhou Tianci does not think that the Mu family can bring him any trouble. But just when he was about to take Yiyang City, the Mu family suddenly killed a general, this general actually had first-class strength, and he faintly surpassed himself in the realm. If it weren't for Zhou Tianci's more and more courageous personality, it is likely that he would have been ambushed.
"My lord, although Yiyang County has powerful generals, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers. As long as our army attacks with all its might, it will be able to capture it soon. Guo Tu saw Zhou Tianci frowning and stepped forward to say.
Zhou Tianci shook his head: "I attacked Yiyang County because I wanted a complete county, not a ruined city. In troubled times, the population is the most important, and only with enough population can we recruit enough soldiers. Poor Water Prefecture has long been in my pocket, and killing one more person will damage my strength. Besides, the Mu family is a big family after all, and they have a rich heritage, and they are not from the Gaoping family. If they can be brought under their command, they will also be able to balance the Sima family. ”
Guo Tu said: "The lord is wise. If you don't have to attack, you can only use stratagem. His subordinates suggested that the lord send troops to quietly dig tunnels and send troops to infiltrate the city. ”
"You can give it a try. ”
Guo Tu sent more than 1,000 soldiers to dig tunnels in Yiyang City overnight, and the tunnels were dug a day later. However, for some reason, they were noticed by the Mu family, and the Mu family poured water into the tunnel, drowning all the more than 1,000 soldiers, and making Zhou Tianci so angry.
"It seems that the people who command the troops of the Mu family are not only powerful, but also proficient in battle formations, which should not be underestimated. Guo Tu, has the investigation of General Mu's situation been clear?" Zhou Tianci asked.
Guo Tu said: "I just received news that the Mu family's first-class military general is named Mu Guiying, who has been cultivating in the mountains with Yiren since he was a child, and went down the mountain not long ago. And she's a woman......"
"Female?" Zhou Tianci was surprised, no wonder he always felt awkward when he looked at her, it turned out to be a woman. However, what surprised Zhou Tianci even more was that Mu Guiying was not a game character he was familiar with.
"The real world is always different from the game world. Zhou Tianci thought to himself.
"Guo Tu, have you thought of a strategy to break the city?" asked Zhou Tianci.
Guo Tu sweated in front of his forehead: "Lord, subordinates...... The subordinate thought of a plan. Since Mu Guiying is a woman, the lord might as well propose to the Mu family. The Mu family is a big family, and if they can marry, it will also be a big help for the lord. And Mu Guiying is a person who can be civil and martial, and is barely worthy of the lord. It is the general trend for the lord to occupy the poor water state, and I believe that the Mu family can also see it clearly. ”
"Marriage?" Zhou Tianci didn't expect Guo Tu to think of such an idea, and subconsciously wanted to oppose it. But on second thought, it's not a bad strategy. He is now in a period of expansion, if he can get the support of the Mu family and get a first-class general, the speed of expansion will inevitably increase greatly.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhou Tianci said.
Gao Pingcheng, Sima Yi and others also heard the news that Zhou Tianci's attack on Yiyang County was not going well, and a group of people from the family gathered together to discuss.
"Civilians are civilians in the end, if we weren't prepared at the beginning, how could Gaoping City fall into his hands!" said the Huang family's disciples disdainfully.
"When Zhou Tianci was defeated, we took advantage of the situation and took over his troops and horses in Gaoping. When the time comes, Zhou Tianci will not be able to advance or retreat, so he can only be slaughtered by us!" the Dong family proposed.
"It's not that simple, everyone, after all, Zhou Tianci still has 50,000 troops in his hands, unless he is defeated, we will have a chance. Sima Yi said.
"Zhou Tianci's defeat is just around the corner! With 50,000 people, he can't defeat a small Yiyang County, this is the proof, let's wait for the good news!"
The family of Gaoping City was looking forward to the good news of Zhou Tianci's defeat, but they didn't expect to wait for the bad news that the Mu family would come to join Zhou Tianci a few days later. Moreover, the Mu family also married the daughter who had the strength of a first-class military general, and regarded the 10,000 soldiers as a dowry. In this way, Zhou Tianci's strength was not only not damaged, but greatly increased, which made the Gaoping family both resentful and helpless.
"Ladies and gentlemen, forget the previous incident for the time being, it is already an unavoidable fact that Poor Water Prefecture fell into the hands of Zhou Tianci. However, there is still a long way to go, and we can always find opportunities. Sima Yi was also disappointed in his heart, but he still tried to comfort the other families. At this time, what Sima Yi was most afraid of was that the family would really take refuge in Zhou Tianci.
