Chapter 182 The Luo family has a deep hatred, and the army is overwhelmed
Qu Dazhong pondered for a while, but it was still difficult to judge Lu Wu's whereabouts. However, one thing is certain that even if Lu Wu abandoned Tonghe City, he would never be able to give up the army of more than 400,000.
No military strategist with a normal mind would do this - he wouldn't even think so.
Therefore, as long as the two armies face off and put enough pressure on the other side, Lu Wu will definitely show up.
Of course, the greater possibility is that Lu Wu himself is in charge of the army. After all, except him, no one in the southern part of Chu had enough prestige to unite this army.
"Come here, please continue to order, and set up camp and go to Tonghe City tomorrow morning."
————————————
"Come here, let me continue to make preparations tomorrow, and we will set up camp and head to Tonghe City in the future."
The order that was almost exactly the same as Qu Dazhong was issued in Mengtong County.
Luo Gan, the general of Wu, who was covered in white hair and had a strong body, sat in the secret room behind the lobby to issue orders. Lu Wu left behind Ma Ling, one of the registered disciples who assisted Lin Ji to lead the army, bowed and obeyed, and then went out to convey the orders.
Luo Gan looked at the map spread on the stage. The murderous intent and fighting spirit in his old eyes were almost burning, and his face was cold.
Luo Gan has 64 this year.
Thirty-three years ago, the battle between Wu and Chu was in his prime.
At that time, Shi Yan, a general who was born in Chu, led 300,000 troops to siege the city of Tonghe, and used suspicious soldiers from all sides to burn the camp and other strategies to defeat the two armies of the Wu Kingdom, totaling 600,000 troops, and even King Kezhen of Wu was killed in the battlefield.
All the elite troops of Wu State were lost, and then Shi Yan led his army to break through 39 cities in a row. The local wealthy families of Wu State surrendered, almost driving the King of Wu State to the sky and have no way to enter the ground, and almost killed them all.
During that period, bad news spread frequently, and the Wu Kingdom scattered the blood of the children of his family all over the earth.
Luo Gan's father, two uncles, three cousins and younger brothers all died in the midst of continuous war, among which Luo Gan's uncle died in battle.
Luo Gan himself crawled out of the dead.
To be honest, he was able to survive not because he was the most outstanding among the Wu generals, but because he was the one with the best luck.
Not only the Luo family, but almost every family in the Wu State generals was in vain, and many families even lost their family's martial arts and military books.
The State of Wu had five prefectures south of the Lanshui River. In order not to forget this humiliation, the new King of Wu Kelu re-divided the five prefectures into seven counties, including Zhenjiang County and other county names corresponding to Zhenjiang Prefecture (the State of Chu named it Nanhe Prefecture), to remind himself to lie on firewood and taste gall, and sooner or later he would fight back to recover his hometown.
(At that time, the county was re-divided to disrupt the local forces and completely take the five prefectures south of the Lanshui River into their hands.
After all, the focus of the King of Wu was originally north of the Lanshui River, and it lost its foundation when it fled to the south of the Lanshui River. If the local forces were not suppressed, the lao would have to open one eye when sleeping. For details, please refer to the process of suppressing the local indigenous forces in Taiwan after Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan.)
The reason why Luo Gan had a great reputation in the Wu army was that he integrated the Wu generals who escaped from Lanshui, defeated and suppressed local forces, collected the inheritance of various military strategists, broke the views of the corpses, and educated the minors of various families, so that Tong Zhi and other generations of military strategists appeared.
Luo Gan's prestige in the Wu military was second only to King Kesou of Wu. Even King Kesou of Wu had to marry him to be at ease. However, Luo Gan reciprocates his favor, and neither of his two sons joined the army. Instead, he stayed in his fiefdom to avoid touching King Kesou of Wu.
Luo Gan is a very powerful minister.
When he dreamed of returning from midnight, Luo Gan often dreamed of the scene of his uncle and brothers dying in battle, so he was incompatible with the State of Chu.
He thought that Chu State had great power and would have no hope of crossing the river in his lifetime. He even made a will to order the descendants of the family to regain their hometowns if the Wu State recovered their hometown, he would have to move his tomb back and buried it in the Luo family's ancestral land.
But unexpectedly, Lu Wu's temperament was a hundred times more irritable than he thought. Because the soldiers of Chu State killed the generals of the Lu family, they broke into Nanhe Prefecture City and killed Nanhe Prefecture's administration because of blackmail.
The news came. Because the Lu family was a nouveau riche, Lu Wu, who was the most capable of fighting, went away again. The nobles of Wu who wanted to bite a piece of meat from the Lu family were all silent as if they were chilling, and they wished they would take a long way to see the Lu family.
Luo Gan thought that this man was just making trouble, but he didn't expect to hold his feet and dug a big piece of meat from Chu State. At that time, all the civil and military officials of Wu State analyzed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out how Lu Wu established a foothold in Chu State.
Luo Gan came this time, and in order to hide his name, the company had shaved his beard. He wanted to be a staff officer for Lu Wu, but he was afraid that Lu Wu would not be good at commanding the army to fight, so he would waste this good situation.
As a result, when he came over, he found that the Lu Wu people were gone, and he appointed Lin Ji as the commander of the entire army, allowing Lin Ji to fight head-on with the Chu army.
When Luo Gan saw Lin Ji, Lin Ji was very happy. If it were someone else, Lin Ji might not be willing to give up the opportunity to command the army, but Luo Gan was the first in the Wu army. In addition to his outstanding achievements, he was also Lin Ji's immediate boss and has always been respected.
So Lin Ji and Lu Wu stayed behind and helped him coordinate the twelve disciples who commanded the army to discuss, hoping to give up the command power to Luo Gan.
The twelve registered disciples were all promoted by Lu Wu from the lower-level officers, and they planted demon seeds. They were the most loyal to Lu Wu. I don’t know what methods they used to contact Lu Wu, but they agreed anyway.
However, Luo Gan did not go to the front stage directly, but asked Lin Ji to continue to be the commander. He wanted to hide behind the scenes and accumulate enough energy to give Chu a ruthless attitude.
If Luo Gan hadn't been in charge of the overall situation in the army, how could Lin Ji, as the commander of the first army, dared to leave the army and only brought a hundred people to Tonghe City?
——————————————
Tonghe City.
Starting the day before yesterday, the business trips to Tonghe City on the official road disappeared, and the surrounding villages were running away without even a single dog.
To the north, the Chu army drove over.
First, the sword and shield were walking on both sides of the official road, and the mixed battalion of spearmen and crossbowmen was walking in the middle. In the middle were cavalry holding horses, then a small number of baggage chariots and shield chariots used to block arrows. Then behind the spearmen and crossbowmen broke. A brigade of men in this mixed formation carried six flags, indicating that there was a chief general and five lieutenants among them.
Such teams come one by one, and someone will guide them to the designated location to set up camp.
There is a certain distance between camps and camps, and they are distributed in the form of plum blossoms. They are separated by shallow ditches and wooden walls in the middle, and only passages are left in specific places.
Lin Ji, Meng Yang and others have been staying at the city since the morning and have been seeing it at night. However, such teams of Chu State are endless, and they have never seen the end until now. The camp they have built has stretched for ten miles.
When people reach 100,000, they are overwhelming.
Even a martial arts powerhouse like Meng Yang, who is as determined as iron and stone, and a general like Lin Ji, who once commanded cavalry on the battlefield, could not help but be shocked when he saw the Chu army's momentum.
