The fiefdoms of Lu Wu and his father, Lu Jinhe, have been exchanged and are now connected geographically. The combined area is the size of a county, including more than a dozen villages and a small city with a radius of a hundred miles. It is located in the southernmost part of Fuyuan County. .
Fuyuan County is the southernmost county among the five counties in Jiangnan.
Therefore, the fiefdom of the two Dr. Lu is located at the southernmost tip of the Wu Kingdom - of course, soon this will no longer be the territory of the Wu Kingdom, but the country of Lu Wu.
However, under normal circumstances, even if the country changes, the fiefs of minor nobles can still be retained as long as they pay allegiance to the current monarch in time.
As the name suggests, Fuyuan County is mainly about comfort.
The objects of appeasement are the mountain people, barbarians and savages in southern Xinjiang.
Lu Song stood at the top of Dingman City and looked around. The city was full of targets he needed to appease.
But at this moment, Lu Song felt that it was himself who needed to be comforted, not the group of barbarians below.
This group of barbarians not only robbed the market he had worked so hard to build outside the city, set fire to the houses, and even captured the farmers who had no time to enter the city, and held a barbecue party under the city - these barbarians actually ate people!
Lu Song never expected this.
He knew that there were uncivilized savages in the mountains here who knew how to eat people.
But never would I have imagined that these mountain people and barbarians who wear clothes and can use swords and spears can also eat people!
No wonder when he came here to take over the fiefdom, the county magistrate who ordered the whole city to complete the handover only took half a day, then quickly packed his luggage and drove off in the carriage that afternoon.
Lu Song looked at the human remains grilled on the fire outside the city, the barbarians waiting to feast, and the women and children bundled into a pile in the distance, crying, and asked angrily: "What if we take this opportunity to go out of the city to form an array?" , can you defeat them?"
Shikasatsu had never been so angry.
You must know that among the captured people below the city, many are the families of the Lu family's tenants and clerks who followed the Lu family to expand their territory. These people are the die-hard supporters of the Lu family and the foundation of the future of the Lu family.
Lu Liang could only shake his head heavily: "Young Master, I have seen at least the totem flags of seventeen mountain tribes, including the Tengshe flag of the largest Tengshe tribe here. These tribes are not just a piece of scattered sand. ——And there are at least three thousand of them.
There are only twenty soldiers and three hundred soldiers in our city. If we suffer further losses, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the city. Let's wait until night. Then I will lead some elites out of the city to see if I can kill a few barbarians. "
Lu Liang should actually be called Lu Liang. He is a branch of the Lu family. He has settled in Fuyuan County for more than 20 years. He has served as the camp commander. Of course, he is the camp commander of the county soldiers, not the Wu Guozheng army.
Dingman City is not a big city, no, even calling it a small city is a bit flattering, so it can only be said to be a miniature city.
The wall of Dingman City is three feet high, three hundred meters long and four hundred meters wide. A shout from the south gate can be heard clearly by the north gate.
In fact, Dingman City was originally built on the basis of a Wu State garrison camp. It was originally called Dingman City. However, the subsequent development efforts of the Wu State could not keep up. In order to appease the local natives and mountain people, the name had to be changed. Set the whole city.
Lu Liang only talked about the night attack, not about rescuing people, because they were already at a disadvantage, and to save people was like tying their own hands. As long as they were delayed a little, they would not be able to come back.
Most of the strength of the Lu family went to Chu State to support Lu Wu. Although it was considered important here, the power of the Lu family could only squeeze out more than 300 people.
Twenty of the soldiers were not serious soldiers yet, but were chosen as warriors with some martial arts skills and strong enough to dare to fight. They put on armor and pretended to be temporary.
Because the Lu family was not a traditional aristocracy, they could not legally own private soldiers. These private soldiers were originally rangers, servants, and worshipers. They were considered a sideline, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the government long ago.
Lu Song slapped the wall of the city hatefully. Although his hand hurt, it couldn't compare with the anger in his heart. However, he also knew that he had no choice but to vent: "Humph! When my fifth brother frees his hand, I will definitely Kill all these man-eating evil spirits!"
The morale of the soldiers in the city was declining.
"Hey, what is that? So fast - such a fast horse!" At this moment, Lu Liang suddenly looked into the distance and exclaimed.
Behind the rioters in the city, there was a cloud of dust rising up - this was nothing unusual at first. It was a dry autumn day and the sun was shining brightly these days. The official road here was just a dirt road, and any horse galloping would bring it up. dusty.
But the horse ran too fast, simply beyond Lu Liang's understanding of horse speed.
At first glance, he only saw a dusty earth dragon, but in a blink of an eye, he was close enough to see the figure clearly.
It was a tall and splendid black horse. On the horse's back was a black-armored and golden-crowned knight holding a halberd upside down. His figure rose and fell naturally as the horse galloped, making the man and horse seem to be one body.
Lu Liang has lived for forty years, but he has never seen such a superb horse, let alone such superb riding skills.
"Fifth brother?!
Really the fifth brother? Why is he here? Lu Song rubbed his eyes, a little hard to believe what he saw.
The man and the horse were getting closer, but they showed no intention of slowing down, and actually rushed straight towards the mountain people's camps. Although these mountain people's camps were just surrounded by piles of bonfires, there were more or less wooden sticks stuck in the soil. , regarded as a mark for dividing areas.
Lu Song was shocked and hurriedly grabbed the wall and shouted: "Fifth brother, wait a minute, don't take any risks!"
However, Lu Wu, one man and one horse, had already rushed into the crowd.
From a distance, Lu Wu could see people surrounding Dingman City. When he got closer, he even saw human flesh being barbecued on the fire. So why should he hesitate?
Lu Song quickly turned his head and shouted to Lu Liang beside him: "Uncle Liang, quickly gather the troops and go out of the city to meet my fifth brother!"
The fifth brother Lu Wu was the core of the rise of the Lu family. Since he was far away and couldn't stop him, he had no choice but to go out of the city to respond. Even if all the soldiers in the city were wiped out, the fifth brother must not be harmed.
As for why Lu Wu put down his great foundation and rode here alone, Lu Song was in a remote and remote area with little information, so it was impossible to analyze.
However, Lu Liang didn't speak, he just looked at the city with straight eyes.
Seeing that Lu Liang didn't answer and looked a little wrong, Lu Song turned his head and looked down the city in the direction of Lu Liang's gaze.
His eyes also straightened up.
The black war horse rushed into the crowd like a dragon into the sea, separating the blood waves on both sides.
The halberd stirred up the wind and clouds, and broken limbs flew all over the sky.
It was still dark, and Lu Song could clearly see from where he stood on the city wall. Some of the body parts actually flew higher than the city wall. Not even half of the complete body was visible, and the largest one was only half the size of a torso.
Wherever the green halberd passed, everything it touched flew away, and everything it touched broke. There was not a whole corpse.
In just a few breaths, the man and the horse suddenly waded through the crowd through a two-foot-wide road, all the way to the city gate.
