After everyone left, I gently hugged Ying Lian's slender waist and said softly: "That's the thing."
Ying Lian nodded and said: "Little turtle, although my third brother wants to do harm to us, I am a descendant of the Ying family after all.
I cannot betray my ancestors and split the land of Qin.
Otherwise, how can I have the face to go there in the future?"
Meet my father, my ancestors" "I understand, don't worry, I won't touch Tianshui City."
With tears in her beautiful eyes, Ying Lian gently snuggled into my arms: "In my heart, only the land around Sifang Town belongs to us.
Although it is small, we can live there with peace of mind."
Ying Lian paused and said again. : "I also know that it is easy for us to capture Tianshui.
As long as we own Tianshui City, we can control the land in Qinxi and have the capital to protect ourselves, but my conscience cannot let me do this. " I smiled and said: "Silly girl, how can I let you bear the charge of betraying the family?
Even without Tianshui, we can choose Wangyue City and seize the territory of the Quanrong people.
We can also establish our foundation by taking advantage of the Xiliang Mountains. ” Ying Lian's beautiful eyes stared at me affectionately: "But the terrain of Wangyue City is steep, and it may be difficult to capture it with our strength."
I said calmly: "Everything will be solved.
As long as we are fully prepared, taking over Moon City is not just a dream."
After sending the Qin envoy away, I expected that Yingli would not let us go.
Taking Wangyue City became more and more urgent for me.
Only by occupying a city with considerable defensive power can I stabilize my foundation.
Kaolie and several warriors went to investigate.
This southernmost city of the Quanrong people was heavily guarded.
Its residents were half Hu and Han, and the folk customs were simple.
Border towns like this were often military-based, and there were many conflicts between different ethnic groups.
There are contradictions and at the same time they are integrated with each other.
For them, what they want most is a comfortable and peaceful life.
It doesn't matter who rules.
After reading the terrain map that Kao Lie brought back, Ge Feng couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Wangyue City is built on the mountain, with tall and wide walls.
The terrain is several times more dangerous than the quarry in Beiliang Mountain.
We chose this place.
"Being a breakthrough point is tantamount to death."
He said in confusion: "I still don't understand that Tianshui City is actually under our control.
Why don't we use Tianshui as the foundation for future development but choose the far side instead of the easy one?
This iron-barrel-like Moon Moon City" "I can't feel sorry for Ying Lian.
She was willing to give up her identity as a princess for me and was demoted to this desolate place with me.
How could I let her bear the charge of betraying the family?"
Ge Feng and Kao Lie nodded at the same time, Kao Lie said: "There are more than 10,000 Dog Rong soldiers guarding Wangyue City.
It is impossible to capture it if we want to attack it by force."
Ge Feng's expression was solemn, and he couldn't think of a way to attack the city for a while.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge.
Maybe we will have a solution in two days."
I was quite optimistic.
Ge Feng sighed and said: "I'm afraid Yingli won't leave us much time to develop."
When he walked out of the door, he saw Mo Zhai walking over with a dark-skinned young man, shouting from a distance: "Father" I smiled and nodded, and then I remembered that I asked him to look for Lu Ban two days ago.
Could it be that the young man next to him is Lu Ban?
Mo Zhai brought the young man to me and introduced him: "Father, this is my senior brother Gongshu Ban."
I was overjoyed.
What I just said came true.
Just when I was thinking of a skilled craftsman coming to help me, God sent Lu Ban to me.

The man in front of me is an ancestor who is a skilled craftsman, but looking at his honest face, he doesn’t look like a clever man at all.
I secretly sighed in my heart, it’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
I thought that no one in the world would know this person except me.
The true value of honest young people.
Gongshu Pan was not good at words, so he whispered: "Young master, Gongshu Pan, is here to see you."
I smiled and said, "Since you are Zhai'er's senior brother, we are a family, so there is no need to be polite."
Seeing how polite I was to him, Gongshu became even more embarrassed.
I asked Fuqutai to settle him down first, and asked Kaolie to prepare a banquet to welcome him.
Kao Lie didn't understand why I was so polite to a lowly craftsman.
Naturally, he looked curious and confused, but it was difficult to ask in detail in front of everyone.
In fact, Ge Feng and others who had the same idea as him also Fu Qutai.
Gongshu Pan was dull and taciturn, and Mo Zhai was underage.
These two powerful figures in history were completely reduced to supporting roles at the dinner.
Except for me, who took the initiative to drink with them, no one else showed up at all.
Brothers treat each other as one thing.
Everyone's topic was still on how to capture Wangyue City.
Ge Feng said: "Regardless of the terrain of Wangyue City, there is no way for us to climb over the walls of Wangyue City that are more than ten feet high."
I didn't speak, but looked at Gongshu Ban with expectation, and said with a smile: "Gongshu Bang, what suggestions do you have?"
Gongshu Ban obviously didn't expect that I would ask him.
He was slightly startled and stayed there with his mouth open.
Ge Feng and Kao Lie looked at each other and smiled disdainfully, not believing that this country boy could have any useful insights.
Mo Zhai encouraged: "Senior brother, since my adoptive father asked you to speak, you should speak out your own opinions."
Gongshu Bang pursed his lips, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "It's not difficult to climb over the city wall."
Everyone was startled, Kao Lie took the lead and said: "Gongshu Ban, I went to Wangyue City to see the outer city wall, which is about ten feet long.
Do you have the ability to fly over there?"
When Gongshu Panjing Kaolie asked, he looked embarrassed, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
I encouraged him: "It's okay.
We are all our own people here.
It doesn't matter if you say it."
Gongshu Pan said: "I don't know how to march and fight, but the city wall is ten feet long, so we can build a ladder ten feet long and we can climb over it naturally."
Ge Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Gongshu Bian, a ten-foot ladder, aren't you just dreaming about it?"
Kaolie and Fuqutai also laughed.
Gongshu's face turned red: "I, I am not bragging, I can build a ladder that is ten feet tall."
Everyone present heard this sentence, and Gongshu's serious expression made Ge Feng, Kao Lie and others couldn't help but re-estimate him.
I said loudly: "I believe that Gongshu Pan can find a ten-foot ladder.
Not to mention ten feet, even twenty feet, he can do it."
When I said this, no one dared to show a contemptuous smile. .
Ge Feng whispered: "I won't believe it until it's done."
I looked at Gongshu Ban with a smile and said, "Gongshu Ban, are you willing to prove it to everyone?"
Gongshu Ban nodded and said: "Okay" Two days later, I led everyone to the courtyard where Gongshu Ban lived.
In front of the door, Ge Feng couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Why didn't I see the ten-foot ladder?"
I was full of confidence in Gongshu Ban, and when I walked into the gate, I saw three wooden ladders of five meters each on the ground.
Gongshu Ban, Fu Qutai and Mo Zhai stood beside the wooden ladders with smiles.
Kao Lie came to the three wooden ladders and said, "There doesn't seem to be a ten-foot ladder here."
Gongshu Ban and Fu Qutai walked to the wooden ladder.

Mo Zhai helped connect the two wooden ladders together.
The wooden ladder was cleverly pulled together.
In less than three minutes, a long ladder about fifteen meters long was ready.
After setting it up, Gongshu Ban and Fu Qutai worked together to lean the wooden ladder against the big tree.
Ge Feng walked up dubiously, touched the long ladder and said, "This long ladder can't help but accommodate people."
Fuqutai smiled and said: "General Ge, just go up and try.
It will be fine if the three of us go up at the same time."
Ge Feng climbed up the long ladder until he reached the top.
Kao Lie also climbed up.
After the two of them slipped down the long ladder, the doubts on their faces had already turned into admiration. .
Ge Feng said: "To be able to build such a long ladder in such a short period of time, I am afraid there is no craftsman in the world who can surpass Gong Shu."
Gongshu Ban smiled and said: "Thanks to the iron blade made by Master."
He took out a saw.
I once asked Mo Zhai to come to him with a small saw, but now this one was modified by Gongshu Ban. of.
He asked sincerely: "Sir, what is the name of this iron blade?"
"Saw" I secretly feel ashamed.
This thing was invented by someone else, and I plagiarized his success.
Gongshu Ban smiled and said: "In the past, I once saw such grass in the mountains.
I think you got inspiration from the grass blades."
Ge Feng said: "Okay, if we can make a large number of long ladders, the chance of winning the attack on Wangyue City will be much greater."
Gongshu Pan said: "Although the wood is very hard, it is unfortunately not tough.
If we can obtain a large amount of moso bamboo from the south, the effect of using it to make this kind of long ladder will be even better."
I nodded and said, "I'll have someone do this as soon as possible."
Mo Zhai said: "Father, if we use this kind of wooden ladder to attack the city, the enemy can use fire to burn it.
If that is the case, wouldn't we still be at a disadvantage?"
