"How are you learning the art of battle formation?" Lu Wu asked again after finishing talking about Gou Chen.

After several battles, despite successive victories, Lu Wu finally determined that he was not the material to command an army at all, and charging into battle to kill the enemy was more to his liking.

Therefore, he needed a trustworthy person to command the army so that he could charge into the battle with confidence - originally he was counting on Qiutong and the other five people to have someone who was good at commanding.

"Where do I have time to learn the art of battle formation? I can't finish all these things!" Speaking of this, Qiutong was filled with resentment.

Lu Wu really deserves to be a young master. Whatever he doesn't want to do, he puts it on these maids. This has been the case since he was a child.

It was fine before, just managing the manor, measuring revenue and expenditure, feeding the Black God, and occasionally going out to do justice for the sky. Now that the young master has done great things, they have also followed the rising tide - the problem is that the water has risen too fast, and the boat is a little Can't keep up.

Can managing a third-rate manor be as difficult as managing a big city?

Not to mention, what is the level of the servants and tenant farmers in the manor? At most, they can cheat and show off, disobey discipline, and just give them a beating. But in Nanhe City, or even in the three southern provinces, those who come to see Qiu Tong are powerful even if they are not well-established local nobles.

Everything these people say is reasonable and well-founded, and they all sound public-minded. However, if you cut it open and analyze it carefully, you will find that everything hidden is private!

If you have less experience and less brainstorming, they will get involved - this is because Qiu Tong relied on the foundation laid by Lu Wu to firmly hold the army in his hands, so that these people did not dare to go too far.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to find more helpers? All you need to do is control people, and kill them if you don't like them." Lu Wu was quite surprised and didn't know why Qiu Tong was resentful.

With a hammer in his hand, everything looks like a nail - Lu Wu has never met an opponent, and his idea of ​​​​solving problems has always been to solve the people with problems.

"How can it be so easy to find help? And if you want to take charge of the overall situation, it is impossible to just manage people. Besides, how can you decide life and death based on your own likes and dislikes? Maybe it is a false accusation?" Speaking of this, Qiu Tong slapped the table and said, He shouted loudly to Lu Wu.

Many things are not as easy as imagined. When Qiu Tong sits in this position, there are really a lot of things to worry about. When the gourd is pressed down, the gourd is lifted up, but the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified. There are many insidious and cunning people among them, who often frame them. Others provide the means for advancement.

If Lu Wu really followed what Lu Wu said and killed people he didn't like, I'm afraid he wouldn't have killed a few of those cunning people with ulterior motives, but would have killed a lot of people who were ugly on the surface but actually loyal - because loyal words are offensive to the ears. , it is often these people who are displeased.

After shouting, Qiu Tong felt a little regretful and wanted to explain but didn't know how.

A woman who was born as a maid is now the first person under Lu Wu's command, holding great power and domineering. Isn't this all the young master's promotion? Why did I suddenly yell at the young master?

As for the hard work and hardship of sitting in this position, believe it or not, as long as you go out and say it, people who want to bear this hard work can queue up from Nanhe City to Chengdu.

Lu Wu looked at the anxious Qiu Tong, reached out and gently touched her cheek, and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This little bit of foundation is just to solve our troubles, not to bring us trouble. You Don’t pay too much attention to it, just deal with it casually.”

"Master!" Qiu Tong was anxious. This is the foundation of Feng Bo's founding of the country, not a small village used by the Lu family for vacation. How can we not care about it so much?

"Okay, don't worry. Just wait until I write a letter and ask the King of Wu to arrange for some talents who are good at handling internal affairs. In this way, you will have both locals and people from outside Wu under your command, and you don't have to worry about them colluding for the time being. "

Wu State and Chu State had a feud, and Nanhe Mansion was originally the land of Wu State. The nobles who stayed here were either those from Chu State who later migrated here, or Wu State's traitors who defected to Chu State.

If the two sides meet, it will be a good thing if they don't fight. If they want to collude and form a party, it will take two generations at least.

As for whether Wu Guo is willing to send people over - there is no need to ask.

King Wu brought news through Uncle Lin that he wanted to regain his former homeland from Lu Wu. To this end, he was willing to promise anything. Lu Wu was willing to let him deploy people in advance, and King Wu also agreed to his favor.

Lu Wu asked again about Hongmei Jinju and other four girls. Now these four are also very busy.

Hongmei Magnolia is currently training with the new army, and is only somewhat familiar with military affairs, but she is not yet in charge of her own affairs.

Qingzhu Jinju led a team of more than 200 elite sergeants to roam around the Three Prefectures with the masters who had taken refuge there. They were mainly responsible for cracking down on the local tycoons who violated the orders of the emperor, and confiscated a large amount of property and real estate to serve as a financial source for the military.

After listening to Qiutong's introduction, Lu Wu also scratched his head.

When it comes to commanding the army, within the scope of Nanhe Prefecture, only the former Zhennan General Jiang Zhijiang Xingde can take on this important task. However, Lu Wu uprooted the Jiang family's influence from the army. Although Jiang Zhi was once again used to take charge of his own affairs, he suppressed the generals from Quantu Prefecture. The Chu army in the direction, but still did not dare to trust him.

This is not because Lu Wu is afraid of betrayal by the Jiang family, but because the newly promoted officers under him are all from the military who have nothing to do with the Jiang family, and are even suppressed by the Jiang family.

These people can be said to have stepped on the Jiang family's corpse and stepped onto the stage. It doesn't matter if Lu Wu re-enables Jiang Zhi as a partial commander, but if Jiang Zhi is appointed as a general to lead the entire army, these people are probably going to have an unstable morale in the army.

Retaliation in the officialdom usually results in dismissal from office. In the military, if someone is retaliated by their superiors, they usually lose their lives. These people cannot help but oppose it with all their strength - Lu Wu can forcefully suppress it, but stepping on the corpse of the Jiang family creates a I am afraid that my military morale will also dissipate a little.

"Uncle Lin, did you have a good rest yesterday?" Lu Wu left Qiutong's place and turned to Lin's gathering place.

When Lin Ji saw Lu Wu coming to visit, he was very happy: "Of course you can have a good rest at my nephew's place. My nephew has so many things to do today, how can he have time to come to my place?"

"Hey, what did Uncle Lin say? You are half my teacher. How can you be more important than Uncle Lin when you have so many things to do every day?" Lu Wu said with an apologetic smile.

"Hahaha, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, since you were a child, you would only say soft words when you want someone to ask for something - tell me, is there anything you need Uncle Lin to do?" The three generations of the Lin family and the Lu family were close friends. Lu Wu's nominal kung fu, his mother's training in iron cloth shirt, was also a secret that was not passed down from the Lin family.

"The Chu army is approaching. I would like to ask Uncle Lin to take charge of the central army for me. If Uncle Lin is in trouble, I will find another way." Lu Wu said sincerely.

Speaking of which, commanding an army to fight on the battlefield is naturally a general's dream, but in fact, there are no weapons on the battlefield, and even the commander of an army dare not say that he will not be shrouded in horse leather one day.

What's more, if the Chu army does not come, it will be overwhelming. Even Lu Wu dare not say that this battle will be won. Let Uncle Lin come to help him preside over the central army. It is an honor for a general, but it also requires Take some life and death risks.
