"General, the Zhechong Division has not been established yet." Someone reminded in a low voice.
"It will be established tomorrow. Then I will let my wife take care of it first. Well, you have also met my wife. She kills people very efficiently." Lu Wu said.
"That's right, your wife is taller than you. The ax weighs at least 120 pounds, and it looks heavy."
"Damn it, who said my wife is taller than me? I am only sixteen years old this year and I can still grow taller. I will definitely be taller than my wife in the future!" Lu Wu scolded with a smile.
"ah--"
"Are you only sixteen?"
"This, this, even if you start practicing from your mother's womb, it will be difficult to break through the limits of the human world and become a warrior!"
"The general is truly the reincarnation of a god, a genius sent from heaven!"
Someone accidentally told the truth, which shocked Lu Wu, but upon closer inspection, the person who spoke must have flattered him unintentionally.
"If you wait until you are thirty, will you still be invincible?"
"The general is probably invincible now."
"Hahaha--"
Lu Wu laughed loudly. It just felt good to hear such words. If he really believed it, he would be an idiot.
True Yuanshen has moved mountains and seas, demons from outside the world have devoured the world, and no one dares to claim to be invincible.
————————————————
After reorganizing the army for three days, Lu Wu collected the rebels and counted the surrendered troops. In total, he got an army of about 8,000 people.
One thousand and five hundred people were separated, and Qiu Tong and other five women were asked to lead them back to form the first batch of Zhechong Guards in the Zhechong Division. Lu Wu still had 6,500 people under his command.
The situation in Nanhe Mansion is excellent.
Iron Spear General He Wei, the garrison of Quantu Prefecture, heard that Yuci Prefecture was defeated and his general was captured. He was still able to calm down and set up camp to besiege Xintong City. He made a pretense of attacking the city one after another and waited for later Siege weapons are transported up.
This approach cannot be said to be wrong. After all, he only diverted troops along the way. If he lost a lot of soldiers in a forceful attack, even if he captured Nanhe Mansion, it would be in vain.
However, the battlefield was ever-changing. Within three or five days, just after the trebuchets had been transported across Huilong River, he heard that General Pan Fu had been killed and the main force of Tonghe Mansion had been completely annihilated.
Iron Spear General He Wei immediately made a false shot, led his people across Huilong River overnight, and fled back to Quantu Mansion. Taking advantage of the danger of the stream, he set up camp again and held it securely.
(Although Huilong River is called a stream, it is actually a small river with a width of more than ten meters and a depth of three to five meters. Although it is not a natural hazard, it is also an extremely important geographical advantage in marching operations.)
Lu Wu spread out the military map in the military tent and frowned slightly.
This map is very dry.
Four wavy lines represent Lanshui, and one wavy line represents Huilong River - maybe the more wavy lines, the more water?
The county seat is represented by two concentric circles, and the prefectural city is represented by three concentric circles. What is that concentric circle? Small town or village?
What is this tree?
At least there are five southern prefectures on the map, and it also includes part of the terrain of Wu State and Yue State south of Lanshui River.
But it didn't matter. Lu Wu directly called five or six experienced officers from the personal barracks to provide advice. In terms of military capabilities, these former officers were much more reliable than Lu Wu's men.
After all, Nanhe Prefecture is just a place, not as powerful as the Chu State. If it does not take advantage of the fact that two of the three Chu armies are annihilated to expand the depth of the strategy, Chu State will be passive in the future when it transfers the real elites from the north. .
Now that Lu Wu wants to take the initiative to attack, he has three options - in fact, there is only one direction to choose from.
Tonghe Prefecture is the latest, and the general has recently died.
But leaving other county towns aside, Tonghe City is a much stronger city than Nanhe City. As an important town in the south of the Chu Kingdom, Tonghe City has more than 13,000 regular troops stationed there.
Although nearly 8,000 defenders have been lost, there are still at least 4,000 to 5,000 elites, and the method of breaking the city gate has been spread, so it is not easy to repeat the same tactics.
Moreover, Tonghe Prefecture is located in the middle of the five southern prefectures of Chu State, extending in all directions. When all the prefectures come to support it, even if they capture Tonghe City by themselves, they may not be able to hold it.
As for the Coin Tu Mansion, firstly, the strength of the Coin Tu Mansion has not been damaged, and secondly, it will take five or six days at least to bring the army there. Who knows what will happen to the Coin Tu Mansion by then?
Only Yuci Prefecture is surrounded by Lanshui on one side and Wangwu Mountains on the other. It is only adjacent to Tonghe Prefecture and Nanhe Prefecture. If it can be captured, it will form a corner with Nanhe Prefecture and greatly improve the strategic situation of Nanhe Prefecture. .
That's it!
Lu Wu clapped his hands and decided on the attack route.
————————————————————
Five days later, Jiang family in Nanhe City.
As soon as Qiu Tong and others left, the children of the Jiang family gathered around Jiang Xingde.
"Congratulations, grandfather, for regaining military power!"
"Congratulations, father!"
"Haha, after all, we still can't live without my Jiang family."
"Luoer be careful, the general is brave and brave. Our Jiang family is just the icing on the cake and is not indispensable to the general."
The young Jiang family children are still in high spirits, but some middle-aged people have begun to pay attention to their words.
Ever since Lu Wu uprooted the Jiang family's influence in the army, the Jiang family has been in panic. If Jiang Xingde hadn't suppressed it forcefully, some of the Jiang family's children would have wanted to gather strong men and rebel.
Although someone from the Jiang family was appointed by Lu Wu as secretary and inspector of the Military Discipline Department, and played a leading role in military discipline, anyone who has been in the military knows that the Military Discipline Department is the most hated person by soldiers.
It would be fine if he took control of the military, but taking charge of the Military Discipline Department alone, although it could not be said to be a recipe for death, would not be of much help to the Jiang family's situation.
However, since the three-pronged army besieged Nanhe Mansion, many Jiang family disciples felt that Lu Wu would definitely come to invite the Jiang family to come out. They were secretly gearing up to show Lu Wu's face - of course they would not dare to go too far, but at least they would Put on a high profile.
However, until the officers from Yuci Prefecture and Tonghe Prefecture were escorted back to Nanhe City, there was no news that the Jiang family was invited to come out again.
Everyone gradually became panicked. Once a family like the Jiang family, which was based on military strategism, completely lost its military power, it would not only mean that the children of the family would have difficulty in getting ahead, but it would also mean that the family would have no use value.
If there is no use value for others, there is still room for retreat. The worst is to become a rich man. If the Jiang family has been a general for generations and has no use value, it will be a real source of instability.
But at this moment, Lu Wu's wife Qiu Tong came to the door in person and asked Jiang Xingde to come out and lead the troops to suppress the direction of Quantufu, which immediately stabilized the gradually turbulent hearts of the Jiang family.
"Zhaoting, is this all right?" Qiu Tong walked out of Jiang's house and asked sideways.
"It would have been impossible a few days ago, but now that the general is holding on to the remaining power of two armies that have been defeated in a row, as long as he is willing to accept the Jiang family, the Jiang family will definitely not dare to cause trouble again." Wei Zhaoting said confidently: "As long as the Jiang family doesn't If we don't move, the Qian family will never be able to cause any trouble."
The Zhechong Division is an extremely important part of Luwu's planning.
The Qian family is the first step Zhe Chongsi is going to use to establish his authority.
One person was planning the shortcomings, and the other two were planning the strengths. Qiu Tong and others also began to form their own staff group - they didn't know many acquaintances in Chu State. Wei Zhaoting was a woman, had some knowledge, and was an acquaintance of them, so he was naturally pulled in first.
Wei Zhaoting's first strategy was to stabilize the Jiang family so as to make preparations for taking over the Qian family.
