Qiu Tong didn't take it seriously after hearing that Lu Wu had left a huge backhand in the five southern mansions.
It can be said that she grew up with Lu Wu, so she naturally knew that this young master was lazy on the surface - of course he was actually lazy - but he was really quite troubled in his heart. Especially once he decided to take action, he would definitely be evil-minded and ruthless, and he would do whatever he wanted. He wants to kill all the people in the house without leaving any trouble in the future.
When the five maids followed Lu Wu to rob houses, the most common thing they did was to guard the perimeter, responsible for intercepting and killing escapees, and killing as many as possible. It could be said that they were used to this method of doing things.
Lu Wu continued: "Although the matter of becoming the uncle has been decided, just to be on the safe side, you should not go to watch the ceremony that day, and pull the people out just in case - just as long as it goes well, if things are not harmonious, you don't need to attack hard. For the royal city, just go straight to Shitang Town."
Shitang Town is a large town located thirty miles east of Songjing. It is much larger than Baishi Town, with a permanent population of more than 20,000. In addition to having no city walls, it is much more prosperous than ordinary cities.
There is a guard stationed outside Shitang Town.
In addition, ten miles to the left and right outside Shitang Town, there are two granaries that can feed 50,000 people, each with a battalion of men and horses to guard them.
If the Wu Kingdom crosses the river to invade and successfully reaches Songjing, then Shitang Town is located behind Songjing, and there are more than a dozen military camps in front of it. It can be regarded as the rear area. If you really can't hold it, you can go to the official road. Vietnam asked for help.
Of course, no matter how important Shitang Town is and how well-protected it is, it can never compare to a capital city like Songjing. Lu Wu came here with 3,000 troops. It was sheer nonsense for these people to attack Songjing head-on, but he was unexpected. It was enough to capture Shitang Town.
If Shitang Town is captured, not to mention the businesses opened by the nobles there are making huge profits every day. If only the two warehouses of grain and grass are lost, there will be a food crisis in Songjing within a month.
Qiu Tong nodded and agreed: "Well, if this is the arrangement, then we need to prepare now. I will ask Qingzhu Yulan to go to the site first, and break some siege tools into pieces and transport them there disguised as scattered goods. .”
She has also gained some experience in the five southern provinces. Although she is not yet able to lead a large army and organize a battle on her own, she still has experience in leading thousands of troops to attack small cities.
"I've wronged you." Lu Wu turned his head, reached out and patted Qiu Tong's leg, and said softly.
"This is for my husband, so it's not a grievance." Qiu Tong said with a smile.
As Lu Wu's head wife, Qiu Tong was supposed to witness the moment when Lu Wu became the uncle - this was also an important moment to consolidate the position of his head wife in front of others.
However, there were too few trustworthy generals under Lu Wu, and most of the registered disciples who planted the demon seeds stayed in the five southern mansions to prepare for emergencies, which could only make Qiu Tong feel aggrieved.
However, Lu Wu was not a person who valued rules to begin with, and he created the world for himself. As long as he recognized Qiu Tong's position as the head wife, no one's words would matter.
In the past, Lu Jinhe and his wife still had some influence on Lu Wu in this regard, but now Lu Wu is engaged in the great cause of Xia Nuo and is known as the world's number one madman. Even if they didn't like Qiu Tong, they didn't say anything again. What.
The two were talking,
"Stop, who is coming?" Qiutong's soldiers guarding not far away asked.
"I have the honor to lead three female officials in the palace to discuss the matter of conferring uncle with General Lu on the order of King Wu." A handsome-looking man wearing green clothes and a feather scarf dressed as a palace official. The young man, followed by three women, said very politely.
"Please wait here, I'll let you know." Qiutong's soldier said, cupping his hands.
"Thank you, Master Jun." Ke thanked him and slipped a piece of silver over him.
In fact, looking from here, you can already see Lu Wu Qiutong sitting by the river fishing, but how dare you go directly?
In the past, he was the master of cash collection, but now it is very rare for him to take the initiative to give money to others.
However, General Lu's reputation for evil is rare in the world, and it is really scary.
So he doesn't ask for any benefits. As long as he can finish this matter safely and go back alive, he will be thankful to God. How can he dare to act like an angel?
"Let him pass
Come. Qiutong ordered.
"I'm here to salute you, and at the order of the king, I brought three of the palace attendants to demonstrate the etiquette of becoming a prince with the general. I've seen the general, I've seen - I've seen the general's wife." The angel in green bowed and saluted. , state your name and your intention.
In private, some people call Lu Wu the champion uncle, but it is inappropriate to call him this in a formal setting, because Lu Wu has not yet been officially crowned uncle.
But when I presented the gift to Qiu Tong, I felt hesitant.
Qiutong was born as Lu Wu's personal maid. According to the custom of this era, she was just a concubine. She did not have the qualifications to be a wife. However, this girl followed General Lu when he was in humble condition, and even followed Lu. The general has fought hundreds of battles to open up frontiers. He is the right-hand man of General Lu, and he is brave enough to conquer the world with his big axe.
From this point of view, it seems reasonable for her to be Lu Wu's first wife, but the two of them have never had a formal marriage ceremony to announce it to the world. Strictly speaking, even if they are an official couple, they still belong to the wild union.
But even if he had the heart and courage, he would not dare to say that their marriage was a wild union in front of these two people.
Therefore, even though he knew that their marriage was illegal, he still had no choice but to bite the bullet and call Qiu Tong the general's wife.
"Oh, thank you so much, Master Kegan." Lu Wu sat still, turned his head and nodded slightly.
But he felt flattered and quickly returned the favor with a deep bow.
Oh my god, the world's most insane man actually spoke so gently and even nodded to me.
————————————————————
Chu State, Chengdu, Chu King's Court.
The atmosphere in the main hall was dull, and everyone in the hall was depressed. There were three or five empty tables on the side of the general, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
This was not because these generals were deliberately absent, but because they were killed by Lu Wu. Some positions had already been replaced, but some positions were too important. Even in such a crisis, people could not be randomly assigned to sit on them.
In a time of great conflict, the incompetence of one general can really lead to the death of an entire army.
Especially for military positions, even if someone wants to ascend to a high position, they must also think about whether they can fight in the war, otherwise they will ruin the army, and their family will be affected if they die.
Especially the two powerful states of Yan and Qi, Chen Bing and Chu, are on the border. Although the five southern governments temporarily suspended their troops and allowed Chu to breathe a little, they heard that the Wu State was going to name the madman the champion uncle. When the madman returned, he After returning to the southern Five Prefectures to establish a state, the Chu State was in a situation where it was surrounded by enemies on three sides.
It's nothing to be attacked on three sides.
Chu State has a long history, what scene have you not seen before?
But the problem is that among these three powerful enemies, Chu State cannot defeat them - this is a huge problem.
That's why the atmosphere in the main hall is so dull.
"My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?" The new King of Chu - the former King of Chu, Prince Xiangzhuan - couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that all the important officials in his highness were speechless.
The inheritance of the Chu State was orderly, and there were no disruptive disputes over inheritance rights like the Wu State.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Chu State is about to be in trouble, and the other princes feel that they have no ability to turn the tide, so even if they have small ambitions, they have to endure it.
