Lin Ji waved his hand and asked Lu Yue, Wang Zhuo and others to sit down.
Lu Yue, Wang Zhuo and others could only sit down angrily, but their eyes were still staring at Guo Zhongyuan.
Even General Lu Wu was here, and he wanted to call Lin Ji uncle in private. They were not only Lin Ji's subordinates, but also Lu Wu's registered disciples. Lin Ji asked them to sit down, how could they dare not obey?
Lin Ji said: "Everyone has his own ambitions and cannot be forced. What's more, General Guo has hard work even if he has no merit? Then so be it. You all go down to prepare and count the number of people who will follow the general to the Lu Kingdom. When Wu's soldiers and horses arrive, they will change defenses. ——When changing defenses, we must not expose any flaws and let Chu take advantage of them."
"Doctor Wang, you are in charge of the logistics and food supplies. When the troops from Wu Kingdom arrive, will the food and grass supplies we have stored be enough?"
Wang Mu stood up and replied respectfully: "The grain reserves in Tonghe City are enough to feed 200,000 troops and horses for five months. There are also three spare warehouses in Kezhen and Yancheng, which are enough to feed 50,000 troops." One month is enough to change the defense. Along the way from Nanhe Prefecture, the cities and military villages along the way have sufficient food and grass, so there will be no problem."
Wang Mu is the head of the Wang family, and he is even more unwilling to make mistakes at this time when he sees that the mountain pressing on his head is about to get out.
Lin Ji nodded: "The soldiers and horses will go ahead before the food and grass are used. We must ensure an adequate supply of food and grass, and there can be no mistakes!"
"I understand." Wang Mu accepted the order and sat down.
After talking about food and grass, Lin Ji looked at Zhu Pin again: "General Zhu, you are responsible for the construction of the camp. Before the Wu people arrive, five camps will be built behind Tonghe City for the Wu people to temporarily station to avoid the handover of the army. problem appear."

"The last general respects his orders and will never miss the general's major events!" Zhu Pin beat his chest loudly.
When all the generals left to do their business, Lin Ji himself did not leave. He sat in the empty lobby, leaning his cheek with one hand and thinking deeply.
Not only did his lieutenants have to consider whether to stay or leave, he also had to consider where to go.
It is said that he finally became the general of Lingdu, and his close subordinates and the boss who promoted him are all in Wu State, so he should stay in Wu State to develop;
However, the country in the Deer Kingdom was first established, and everything was prosperous. If he went there by himself, he would probably be the founding father.
Of course, another meaning of rebuilding everything is that there is nothing. If you want to start from scratch, it will probably take several years of hard work, which is far less comfortable than staying in the Kingdom of Wu.
General Lingdu is relatively high among the generals, and can only be considered an upper-middle-level rank in the military.
Although the Lin family has been in the military for generations, it is not actually a family of generals and has little background - before him, the Lin family had never produced a general, and the highest military position was just a battalion commander.
Until now, the Lin family was just a member of the noble clan, and was still far away from the level of a doctor. However, because he was on the right team during the Songjing Incident, Lin Ji made contributions in the process of Wu State's recovery of the five southern prefectures, and obtained There is still a good chance of getting a doctor title.
There is no such thing as a poor family - the Lin family belongs to a poor family.
Therefore, it is the end for Lin Ji to become the general of Lingdu. Before he obtains the title of doctor, Lin Ji cannot go further - but if Wu Chu fights together and he makes great achievements, let alone doctor, he will be considered a minister. It may not be hopeless.
(Poor families refer to the gentry class below the doctorate class. They are not truly poor. Businessmen like the Lu family are not considered poor families. As for ordinary people, they are weeds and not considered human beings.)
But if you go to the Lu Kingdom, given the relationship between the Lin family and the Lu family, it is probably not difficult to find a minister.
Staying in Wu Country has real benefits and a bright future; going to Lu Country has a bright future, but it will take a lot of hard work.
Should the whole Lin family go to the Deer Kingdom, or should the eldest son Lin Zhong follow the Lu family to the Deer Kingdom to spread their branches? If something goes wrong either way, the Lin family will not have to put an end to ancestral sacrifices.
This is related to the next development of myself and the Lin family, and we really need to weigh it carefully.

South River City.
It is no longer a secret that Lu Wu exchanged the land of the five southern prefectures for the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Bai, as Lu Wu's second brother, was Lu Wu's first-class figure left in Nanhe Mansion. Apart from the military and Zhe Chongsi, Lu Bai naturally had a group of people around him.
Now all these people have arrived to confirm to Lu Bai whether the news is true.
"Brother Lu, is this news true?" someone asked hurriedly.
Most of these people are young, and many of them are friends that Lu Bai met during his study tour. Lu Bai recruited him to the five southern provinces, hoping to show off their talents - whether they have talents is another matter, but they just came. After more than a month, they had not achieved any results. Suddenly they heard that Lu Wu had sold the entire five southern mansions. Naturally, these people were not happy.
Lu Bai nodded, with a somewhat unnatural smile on his face.
I have brought all these friends here, hoping that they will have a good future and can become my wings in the future. Needless to say, in the military, I can never compare to the prestige of my fifth brother, but if I can be a civil servant leader, I can become a minister. It's definitely not difficult.
Lu Bai is the second son of the Lu family.
The eldest brother Lu Song doesn't have to worry. As the future head of the Lu family, the fifth brother will be able to get him a favor as long as he doesn't forget his roots.
But Lu Bai is different. As the second son, everything has to be worked out by himself. If he relies solely on brotherhood, if he can become a doctor in the future, it will be regarded as the fifth brother Gu Nian's friendship.
But now that the fifth brother has sold the Five Houses in the South of the Yangtze River without saying a word, he is a bit worried. How should he arrange these friends who he called to the Five Houses in the South?
Although Lu Bai felt that there must be an important reason for this - for example, if Lu Wu did not sell the five Jiangnan mansions, the Wu Kingdom would not grant the fifth brother the title of Bo and found the country, so the fifth brother would have to sell.
Lu Bai said: "It's true, I have received a letter from the general."
"Brother Lu probably can't get involved in this matter. Now he can only walk around." Someone said.
"In my opinion, we actually have only two choices. Either stay here and see if the king will keep us after he takes over the five southern provinces; or follow Brother Lu and go to the five counties in the south of the Yangtze River to expand the territory."
Almost all of the people around Lu Bai were scholars from the Kingdom of Wu (a scholar is not a scholar, but refers to students who formally studied and were listed in schools and academies), so it was natural to serve the King of Wu.
"Haha, I don't think so. We have only been here for more than a month and have not made any achievements. How can the king take over the five southern mansions and look after people like us? In fact, if we want to get ahead, we have only one choice - to follow Brother Lu. Five counties in the south of the Yangtze River."
Most of them came from wealthy businessmen's families, or were the second sons or concubines of noble families. Their status was higher than that of ordinary people, but they were definitely not as good as serious noble families.
It happened that when they came to the Five Prefectures in the South, it was the time when Lu Wu was employing people. Although these people were just raw people and their words were a hundred times better than their actions, at least these people were literate and could do arithmetic, which was better than Lu Wu's men. Helping illiterate soldiers is much stronger.
Therefore, the positions occupied by these people are indeed not low. Most of them serve as assistants to local officials or assistants to the chief clerk. Although the positions of these staff assistants are not high, for people who are not from a noble family, they are already An unattainable location.
What's more, anyone who is not blind can see that they are being trained as reserve officials.
Once you become a full-time official, you will be an operator. If you can work for a few more years, make some achievements and break the class ceiling, it will be no problem to become a noble.
If they are given a month or two to familiarize themselves with government affairs, and with the help of veterans from the Zhechong Department, they may not be able to achieve results. But now that they have just sorted out some of the connections, they have caught up with Wu Guo to take over the five southern governments. The talents are not comparable to those of Luwu's Caotai team, and most of these positions will be replaced by others.
Who can bear it when a duck with a beak is about to fly?
