Chapter 159 ** Worry, scheming

"General, we are leaving like this? Meng Family-Ruo—"

** Looking back, I felt unwilling to accept it and couldn't help but speak.

Lu Wu faked Meng Shan, the chief of the Meng clan, and was granted the title of Luowu and Jianxing counties.

Meng Yang was given the false title of the Jiewu Doctor, General Ming Zhen, and commanded 7,000 troops (including 3,000 surrendered soldiers and 2,000 Lu family troops, as well as 2,000 private soldiers hidden in the green forest of the Meng family) and was responsible for guarding Tonghe City.

(Fake gift means that Lu Wu is not Lu Bo yet, and does not have the qualifications to grant the title of nobles. He just reaches the intention. After Lu Wu is granted the title of uncle, he will be considered a real nobleman.)

This kind of credit is no longer the word "trust". It can be said that half of Tonghe Prefecture was given to the Meng family. The reason why it was said to be half was because half of Tonghe Prefecture territory was still under the control of Chu.

Tonghe Prefecture is located in the center of the five southern prefectures of Chu State, with Tonghe Prefecture in hand. In addition to the direction of Lanshui, Yuci Prefecture can rest assured; while Nanhe Prefecture only needs to face the pressure from the Hantu Prefecture and does not have to worry about being attacked by several squares.

Whether the Meng family rebelled again or Meng Yang failed to defend Tonghe City, this good situation would be lost all over and Lu Wu's army was defeated back to its original form.

When Lu Wu had just captured Nanhe Prefecture, facing the pressure on the three sides of Wutu Prefecture, Tonghe Prefecture and Yuci Prefecture, almost no one was optimistic that he could defend Nanhe Prefecture.

If Lu Wu had not led his army to attack in a night battle and annihilate the main force of Yuci Mansion, and then switched to Tonghe Mansion, and killed General Pan Fu in front of the battle, both battles were quick to fight and return with all victory, which made people feel that he was qualified to be the king in the south.

The strategic situation of Lu Wu’s army is much better than before.

Therefore, even if there were any doubts in the past, they would not say it out. Now Lu Wu's momentum has gradually become, the strategic situation has been greatly improved, and the military system is effective, which can effectively capture the morale of the army - especially for gathering the morale of the surrendered troops, and the more people fight, the more people fight.

In addition, Lu Wu has won many battles since he entered the battle. After he won the name of Lu Bo, he has a great reputation and can compete with the State of Chu.

The meaning of this is completely different and it is worthy of life.

That's why ** expressed his doubts.

"Can the Meng family retake Chu State?" Lu Wu said casually.

Lu Wu felt the changes in the hearts of these noble children and some dismissed officers in the personal military camp. These people were very rare intellectuals in this era. Although there had been conflicts of interest between the two sides, when Lu Wu showed great investment value, these people seemed to be ready to let go of their past grudges and exchange for a brighter future by serving their lives.

Especially this **, although he is the deputy commander of the personal soldiers, he is a good at handling documents, managing military affairs, and rectifying military laws. Without **, Lu Wu doesn't know how much effort it takes to command the soldiers.

So Lu Wu didn't care about giving some advice.

"Absolutely impossible!" ** said firmly.

Even if the Chu State transformed enemies into friends with Lu Wu and formed an alliance, it would not be possible to accept the Meng family's surrender.

Lu Wu was purely a stubborn fight and forced killing. Although he did not have the title of righteousness at the beginning, the Chu State regarded it as a bandit, but this kind of country that was fought hard on his own was relatively easy to accept in the morality of this era. What's more, in the eyes of the Chu State's great nobles who were informed, Lu Wu was also fighting back. It cannot be said that he had completely become an unknown master.

However, the Meng family was a doctor granted by Chu State, and the fief was also granted by Chu State. Before Chu State lost its morality, the Meng family's active betrayal was a despicable method that was looked down upon by the entire aristocratic class - not to mention that the Meng family was a nouveau riche among the nobles, and was granted as a doctor for only five years.

"How much power does the Meng family have?" Lu Wu asked again.

** was stunned, thought for a while, and then said, "The Meng family has about twenty-one farms, about 800 hectares of land and seven hundred private soldiers. However, since Meng Yang and Yang Meng are the same, I am afraid that the Meng family can use at least 30,000 people in the southern five palaces."

"Can the Meng family defend Tonghe City?" Lu Wu asked again.

This time, after thinking for a long time, he said with no confidence: "I think it is difficult. If the State of Chu does not move this time, he will inevitably send out a large army to scatter the entire south with a thunderous force. If the State of Chu cannot do it, I am afraid that not only Wu and Yue have other ideas, but also Yan and Qi will also be moved. Then Chu will be in danger of destroying the country. Therefore, if the State of Chu does not move this time, he will inevitably do his best."

Lu Wu nodded and said in a daze: "Gen. Jiang is indeed far-reaching. Lu originally thought he valued Senior General Jiang enough. Now he only looked at your insight analysis. Lu knew that he had underestimated Senior General Jiang."

———————————————

**What he said just now is similar to what he judged. In fact, it is not too difficult to see this.

As long as you know the geographical situation around Chu and the political relationship between Chu and other countries, and have some experience, it is not difficult to analyze these things.

However, in this era, this standard has already very high requirements for both cultural standards and vision.

Most people do not have this vision thinking at all. Even if they have this vision thinking, they may not be able to obtain relevant information in this regard.

Lu Wu himself was able to make such an analysis with the support of Wu Guomi's spies. ** was able to make the same analysis. It can be seen that the Jiang family has been doing their best to collect intelligence and has been planning to raise the flag of rebellion for a long time - but I didn't expect Lu Wu to suddenly jump out and get into a slap.

It seems that Jiang Xingde's direct rebellion in front of the two armies that day might not be entirely afraid of Lu Wu. Maybe it was because he saw such a fierce general like Lu Wu jumping out and trying to face Chu head-on, and he was really happy.

In Lu Wu's view, Jiang Xingde, who was cunning at the time, might have tried to surrender first, and then in a battle with Chu State, through his rich command experience, he gradually gained the initiative in the war, and even reversed the situation and subdued Lu Wu for his own use.

Military sects and generals are basically famous reckless men.

With the great size of the world, although there are very few military strategists fighting against generals, there are at least twenty or thirty. However, no military strategist has founded its own country and even fewer commanders of more than 5,000 troops. Most of them lead 500 to 3,000 personal soldiers, and at most some auxiliary troops are added to the battlefield.

It can be seen that most of the military generals have muscles in their minds and are not very good at commanding large armies to fight.

Just looking at the reason why Lu Wu killed the Nanhe Prefecture, it was just that his family general was killed by officials of Chu. This was enough for people to attribute him to the group of reckless men.

Therefore, Jiang Xingde's plan is really quite successful.

However, Lu Wu later broke Jiang Xingde's wishful thinking by establishing a military system and rejecting noble officers. Only then did he break Jiang Xingde's plan and truly turn against the enemy.

Then Jiang Xingde may not have been truly surrendered, but now the great enemy of Chu is on his side. As long as Jiang Xingde doesn't want to commit suicide, he has to work honestly to Lu Wu.

If Lu Wu fails, he can still return to Wu - because he originally came alone with five maids, and at worst he can come back whatever he wants.
