Lu Wu suddenly praised Jiang Xingde for his far-reaching plans, which made Jiang Changzhi a little confused. However, this kind of praise came from someone else. Jiang Changzhi could accept it as a compliment, but if it came from General Lu, Jiang Changzhi would not dare to recognize it like this - - It is not a good thing for the king to say that his important ministers have far-reaching plans for rebellion.
There are still three pounds of nails in the broken ship.
Although the Jiang family was once expelled from the military, firstly, the Jiang family was the most powerful family in Nanhe Prefecture, and secondly, Lu Wu had no one available for him. In the end, he asked the old general Jiang Xingde to come forward and command all the troops and the Tufu army. Soldiers confront each other.
It can be said that the Jiang family is still the largest force under Lu Wu, and is closely related to the Tang family and other traditional nobles. If the Jiang family has different intentions, it will be an irreversible damage to Lu Wu's power.
In fact, Jiang Xingde finally regained military power. Before leading the army, he repeatedly told his clan members to keep a low profile and never provoke Lu Wu's murderous intentions. Therefore, when the Qian family was suppressed by the Zhechong Division, they asked the Jiang family for help. The Jiang family simply The Qian family members were neatly tied to the gate of Zhechong Division and handed over to Qiu Tong's men. If it weren't for the support of the Jiang family and Qiu Tong's high-pressure policy and speaking directly with a knife, there might have been trouble in Nanhe Mansion.
"General Miaozan, although my grandfather made some preparations early, it was only because the State of Chu has been pressing hard on us, the old ministers of the State of Wu, over the years, so my grandfather had to make preparations just in case." Jiang Changzhi hurriedly made preparations. excuse.
"Lu Mou can still accommodate a Jiang family. As long as the Jiang family does not conflict with Lu Mou's feudal establishment based on military law, it is okay to be conferred the title of Supreme Minister based on the contributions of the Jiang family."
This was not said to Jiang Changzhi, but to Jiang Xingde.
"Thank you Uncle Lu!" Jiang Changzhi was overjoyed and said quickly.
Lu Wu nodded and stopped talking. He fell silent thoughtfully and just allowed the Black God to move forward slowly.
The confidants are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
If Qiu Tong and the other five people can be regarded as the first-class confidants of Lu Wu, Jiang Changzhi, who came to serve him because of the threat of interests, can only be regarded as the seventh-class confidant at best.
Therefore, there are some things that not only cannot be explained to him, but also mislead his thinking direction.
For example, Lu Wu did not have any good intentions when he handed over the entire Tonghe City or even half of Tonghe Prefecture to the Meng family.
Doing this is of course a great achievement and requires heavy reward, and it should be done to show to others.
Secondly, if the Chu State does not counterattack this time, it will be a thunderous one. With the Meng family in front to resist the buffer, Lu Wu can make some targeted preparations.
As for the third place, the Meng family straddles both the black and white paths. Meng Yang has the dual identity of the leader of the Green Forest Alliance and the leader of the white path. His potential power in the Southern Five Prefectures is amazing, and he can actually use 30,000 troops - even if these 30,000 horses are not regular troops , but the Green Forest Bandits, which is also an amazing force.
How did Lu Wu himself conquer Yuci Mansion? How did you torment Tonghe Prefecture and force Tonghe Prefecture to send troops out of the city to manage the affairs?
He wasn't just going to take down one city after another - if he were to fight like this, even if every city was taken down smoothly, Lu Wu would probably have very few people left alive.
He just let go of his men and harassed the local area. In the end, the local nobles and landowners couldn't stand it, and then they concentrated on putting pressure on the Tonghe Prefecture's administrative affairs team.
Of course he didn't care about one family or two, but he couldn't stand it if all the nobles in Tonghe Prefecture united.
Who is best at harassing a place?
Although it is said that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates, but unless it is a feud between a country and a country, the ones who really do the most bad things are mostly bandits.
If Luwu is to gain a firm foothold in the future, this kind of man in the forest must be dealt with. Otherwise, let alone safety risks, the commercial circulation cost alone will be a big problem.
And when it comes to dealing with these people in the green forest, will the Meng family watch helplessly? That was not three to five hundred people, but tens of thousands of people. It was the potential largest force of the Meng family.
Therefore, Lu Wu placed Meng Yang in Tonghe City in the hope that under the pressure of the Chu State, Meng Yang would recruit his subordinates to serve as cannon fodder to defend the city. This could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. It not only consumes potential sources of chaos, but also reduces costs. The guarded city - if he could really defend Tonghe City, Lu Wu wouldn't care about heavy rewards.
When the time comes, the surviving green forest bandits will be transformed into squires. If there is a recurrence in the future, it will be much easier to eliminate them - cottages are often easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the courtyards in villages are much easier to attack.
As for whether these green forest bandits without formal military training can fight?
It is not easy to maintain military order in a field battle, but in a city defense battle, even ordinary civilians can also come in handy, not to mention those green forest men who are still licking blood with their swords.
They still have the courage to fight.
What's more, Lu Wu didn't believe Meng Yang's ambition. He was in the city, and he had 2,000 troops left by him. He could use coercion and inducement to join him, and he couldn't control the green forest that was originally his subordinate (even if some were only in name). The Chinese are used as cannon fodder to defend the city?
————————————————
From Tonghe Prefecture to Nanhe Prefecture, it is not close, but it is far, but it is not far away.
The carriages and horses were sparkling, and for more than one day, Lu Wu returned to Nanhe City.
After Lu Wu was welcomed into the city by Qiu Tong and others and the leading figures in Nanhe City, he first came to pay homage to his elders.
——According to the etiquette at this time, the elders are not allowed to go out to greet the younger ones. If Lu Wu really ascends the position of Lu Bo, it will be another kind of etiquette to get along with each other. However, Lu Wu has not yet officially become the uncle. Naturally, Just deal with each other according to common sense.
"Greetings to the two mothers." Lu Wu first bowed respectfully to the two mothers, then turned around and saluted Lin Ji: "Uncle Lin, my nephew has been away from home for the past two days because of military affairs. Welcome, I hope uncle will not blame you."
His mother was from his own family. Although Lin Ji was close to the Lu family, they were separated by a layer, so he had to be more polite to Lin Ji.
"Hahaha, what did Wu'er say? Naturally, major events in the army are important. Our family, whether we welcome them or not, what does it matter?"
Lin Ji walked over with a big smile, lifted up Lu Wu who was bowing with both hands, looked him up and down, and then said: "Sure enough, he is so heroic and vigorous, his appearance is really extraordinary - Uncle Lin has long thought that You are not a creature of the pond, but I never expected that you would be founding a country at the age of sixteen!"
Lu Wu just smiled bitterly: "Uncle Lin, thank you. Lu Wu was just forced to have no choice. If he could live idle all day, eat and wait for death, that would be Lu Wu's wish. Now he is busy all day, Lu Wu has long been fed up."
"Hahaha, if you want to live that kind of life, Wu'er, you have to give birth to a son as soon as possible. Only after the situation has been stabilized and a good heir has been trained can you escape!" Lin Ji changed the topic and made a smooth transition to Lu. The issue of marriage and heirs arises.
