Regarding Lu Wu's request, Lin Ji directly agreed without sending a letter to King Wu for instructions.
For Yu Gong, as a general of Wu State, he can control the military power of Lu Wu, which is definitely beneficial to the alliance between Wu State and Lu Wu;
Personally speaking, I have watched Lu Wu grow up. The Lin and Lu families have been friends for three generations, and my children and nephews are begging me. How can I still say 'no'?
What's more, if this battle is won, no one can stop Lu Wu Fengbo from founding the country in the short term. In the long run, it is not impossible to destroy the Chu Kingdom.
The country was an enemy of the family, and the Chu State drove the Wu State across Lanshui. Which family among the Wu generals did not die at the hands of the Chu people?
Therefore, no matter whether it was public or private, Lin Ji could not refuse Lu Wu's request - as for the risk in the battle formation?
To be honest, if I, as the head coach, were captured and killed even though I was in charge of the army, I would definitely not blame others. I could only say that I was a loser, and I really deserved to die.
"What's so difficult about this? It's just that although Uncle Lin thinks he knows military skills, he may not be able to compete with those veteran generals of the Chu Kingdom. Will it delay your affairs?" Lin Ji was already very convinced. But in terms of ability, I have to put it first. Otherwise, if I delay important events, I will die forever.
"It doesn't matter, just don't worry, Uncle Lin. As long as Uncle Lin can command the army to confront the opponent for a few days, I can defeat the enemy." Lu Wu patted his chest and encouraged Lin Ji.
I don't know if the enemy can be defeated, but if Uncle Lin is discouraged now, there will be no second experienced and completely trustworthy manpower to lead the army.
"That's no problem. Uncle Lin still has the ability to stabilize his position." Lin Ji felt relieved.
He was not sure about defeating the elite troops of the Chu State, but it was not difficult to hold on to the enemy for a few days.
"But I still need to summon some old subordinates to come here to help me so that I can command effectively - and this matter also needs to be reported to the king." Lin Ji thought for a while and then said.
Commanding an army is not simple. A commander is like a brain, and capable commanders at all levels are like nerves. Having a brain without nerves is like paralysis, and no matter how superb the commanding art is, it cannot be used.
Lu Wu nodded: "Uncle Lin just makes arrangements. I will also write a letter to King Wu Ketu and ask him to postpone the ceremony for a while until the battle is over."
Hearing Lu Wu call King Wu by his name, Lin Ji nodded and said nothing, but looked at Lu Wu with a strange look.
Maybe he was still a little lucky in his heart - with Lu Wu's lawless temper, if he stayed in the Wu Kingdom, he would probably rebel one day sooner or later.
The two chatted for a few more words. Just as Lu Wu was about to leave, Lin Ji's soldiers came to report outside the door:
"General, General Lu's mother has sent someone to summon him. She said that General Lu's brother Lu Song has arrived at the mansion, and invites General Lu to come and meet him."
Before Lu Wu could speak, Lin Ji stood up and said, "Song'er and I haven't seen each other for many years, so we just happened to go together!"
Lu Song, Lu Chang and Lu Yun stood side by side on the steps. They saw two tall figures walking side by side from a distance. Lu Song quickly walked down the steps to greet them.
"Zhu Zhi has met Uncle Lin." Lu Song first bowed to Lin Ji to the ground and held the son-nephew gift.
Although Lin Ji was not his father Lu Jinhe, the two families were in a life-entrusted relationship. To the children of the Lu family, Lin Ji was almost half their father.
Otherwise, the Lu family would not have allowed Lin Ji to escort the two ladies of Lu Jinhe to see Lu Wu.
Lusongzizhuzhi, this name was given to him by Lin Ji, which means that he is the eldest son of Lu and needs to support the Lu family.
Even if Lu Wu is in a high position and has a high position, Lu Song must first pay homage to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji grabbed Lu Song's arms with both hands and looked Lu Song up and down carefully.
Lu Song was wearing a floral silk and satin robe that was common among businessmen. He had a tall and straight figure. Between his brows and eyes, you could vaguely see a bit of Lu Jinhe, but he was more handsome than Lu Jinhe. His expression at the corners of his eyes and brows was calm and steady, even if he was like Lin Ji. He grabbed his arm and looked up and down, not even the slightest bit embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, it really comes from experience. Brother Lu is really lucky to have many outstanding children!"
"Uncle Lin deserves the award. Zhu Zhi has been away for seven years and accomplished nothing. How can he dare to be called a hero?" Lin Song said quickly.
From the perspective of a businessman, Lin Song actually did a good job. He had no aristocratic background and did not rely on his family name. He just established himself in the city of Chu and opened up a stable business route. If he can manage it, making money every day will not be a problem.
But all this disappeared after Lu Wu raised the flag in Nanhe Mansion.
Of course, everything depends on the severity. How can a mere trade route compare to Feng Bo's founding of the country?
"What does it mean to achieve nothing? You are the eldest son of Lu, and it is the greatest achievement to be able to experience it!" Lin Jiyang said angrily.
"Lu Wu has met eldest brother." Lu Wu took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted.
Lu Wu didn't have a Chinese character yet, so he could only use his own name. With Lu Wu's current achievements, there were not many people who were qualified to teach him Chinese characters except for his close relatives and elders.
YY
Lu Song was speechless for a moment as he looked at the fifth brother who was half a head taller than him and an arm wider than him. His heroic spirit was naturally revealed as he glanced at him.
When Lu Song left home to start his own business at the age of eighteen, Lu Wu was less than nine years old, but he was already quite a playboy.
Moreover, other dudes spend a lot of time bullying men and dominating women, but this fifth brother's dude has a prominent character of laziness.
He sleeps for more than seven of the twelve hours a day. He has been seen by a famous doctor and everything is normal.
Not to mention, this fifth brother doesn't like being served by men and has insisted on using maids since he was a child. One is too few.
What to study, what not to do, and looking down on the teacher's knowledge, literary and martial arts, the teacher was so angry that he walked away for eight or nine times. In the end, my mother insisted with all her strength, saying that the Lu family's wealth was useless, even if it was a waste of time to raise an idle person until death , so what?
At that time, myself and my second brother were very envious of our fifth brother.
It wasn't until he started his own business, took charge of his own business, and gained power, that he recalled his family in his midnight dream, and realized that such a life like raising pigs was actually not that happy for a man.
I have also thought that when the situation is completely stable and I return home, I must act like an elder brother and urge my fifth brother to make progress.
But no matter how much I thought, I would never have imagined that my younger brother, who was so lazy that the most exercise he did on weekdays was fishing in the pond at home, would now be a powerful force and become a serious problem for Chu State!
Lu Song was not the green young man he was back then. How could he not know how bloody the process of biting off a piece of meat from a great power in the Central Plains like Chu State was?
As for the fifth brother who turned things around in the Kingdom of Wu and helped the current king of Wu ascend the throne, this originally shocking achievement was not worth the fuss in the face of the fact that the fifth brother now separatized the three prefectures of the Chu Kingdom.
