Chapter 105 Nanhe Military Discussion, Tang Chi Discussion
Nanhe Mansion, City Lord Mansion.
After Lu Wu took control of Nanhe Prefecture, he convened the first meeting to discuss the various crises facing Nanhe Prefecture.
Lu Wu and Tiger are on top, with his nominal subordinates on both sides, and are also the "Heroes" of Nanhe Prefecture.
Among them are the four doctors of Nanhe Prefecture, namely Jiang Xingde, who is in charge of military intelligence and law in the military, Tang Chi, who is in charge of business, travel, transportation and diplomacy, Wang Mu, who is in charge of market taxation, and Liu Yu, who is in charge of agriculture.
Originally, there were six doctors and nobles in Nanhe Prefecture, two of which were Chu nobles who were later enfeoffed. When Luwu entered the city, the Jiang family rebelled and killed the founder of the mansion, Lu and the judge Ye, on the spot, uprooted the two families in Nanhe Prefecture.
In addition to these doctors and nobles, there were more than 20 officers promoted by county magistrates and Lu Wu, including Ying Yuan and Su Zhong who were promoted from the business brigade of Wu State; Feng Yuncheng and Zhu Pin who were promoted from the surrendered army of Chu State; and nineteen officers selected from the grassroots officers after clearing out the original officers.
These people have no political experience, and they can only listen and not speak to attend today's meeting. It is Lu Wu's cultivation of them.
"I won't say much if you are polite. The State of Chu will never give up. Everyone is a grasshopper on the same line and can only work together - General Jiang, please tell everyone about the situation first." Lu Wu is not good at long-term discussions, but just mentioned a little and let Jiang Xingde speak.
Jiang Xingde's face was heavy and spread the scroll on the table. The first sentence was: "Nanhe Prefecture is adjacent to Yuci, Tonghe and Hantu Prefecture. All three prefectures have been mobilized, and the guard generals have personally led the troops."
"The army of the three prefectures is approaching at the same time? How many people are there? Can we resist?" Wang Mu was shocked
The Wang family was not aware of it at first, but later Jiang Xingde announced the rebellion, and the Wang family had to express their rebellion - otherwise, before the Chu army could approach, the Jiang family would destroy the Wang family.
"The five thousand elite troops in the Tucheng City, including one thousand cavalry; the six thousand troops and five hundred cavalry in Yuci Prefecture are all elite troops; the Tonghe Prefecture dispatches 11,000 elite troops, including eight thousand elite troops, including one thousand cavalry, and three thousand county soldiers and horses, responsible for escorting food and grass." Jiang Xingde said.
The elite mentioned here does not refer to real elites, but to all-productive soldiers who are separated from the county soldiers who are half farmer and half soldier.
Since Qu Wenyi arrived, the Jiang family's forces have retreated step by step.
In recent years, Jiang Xingde has considered rebelling for countless times. He has long set up spies in the surrounding three prefectures. As soon as the army of the three prefectures moves, he will know about it.
"Well? Why is Tonghe Mansion so hard?" Lu Wu asked.
"Tonghe Prefecture is located in the center of the five southern prefectures of Chu State. It is a military important southern part of Chu State. It has a southern camp, and is personally led by General Pan Fu. Now the entire territory of Nanhe Prefecture has been destroyed, and even if General Pan personally leads troops to the battlefield, it is not uncommon." Jiang Xingde said.
"What's so outstanding about General Pan?" Lu Wu asked.
"General Pan is over 60 years old, he is a mature and polite person, and he is cautious in his military service. He is especially good at defense. He once used three cities to resist the 100,000 elite troops of Qi for three months, and was known as General Iron City." Jiang Xingde said, but he did not have much respect.
Another meaning of being mature and steadfast and cautious in using troops is that this person is conservative in using troops. Although there are no flaws, there is no eye-catching thing.
The King of Chu used him to guard the south because he valued the old man's stability.
"So, in your opinion, these three Chu troops will attack first." Lu Wu asked.
"He Wei, the iron spear general of the Hantu Mansion, looked fierce and weak. He heard that Nanhe Mansion had fallen for three days, and before he could figure out the joints, he would definitely stop moving forward and wait for others to explore the way."
"General Pan transported his troops like a mountain, and marched step by step. Three or five days was not enough for him to march."
"Only General Cen Zhan of Yuci Prefecture is young and energetic, has a strong martial arts skills, and is also very determined to plan achievements. If he said that who attacked first, it would be this person." Jiang Xingde said affirmatively.
"High martial arts skills, young and energetic?" Lu Wu repeated this sentence and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
"General, I'm not talking about you." Jiang Xingde hurriedly bowed.
Lu Wu waved her hand and smiled, "Your General, don't care. I just think this goal is good, it's him."
After setting the first target, everyone discussed the defense methods of each city, the mobilization of food, grass and weapons, and turned the topic into political diplomacy.
Nanhe Prefecture has twenty-three counties under its jurisdiction, a radius of thousands of miles and a population of one million. Even in Chu State, it is considered a great prefecture.
But this kind of force is still not enough compared to the entire Chu State, not to mention that among the millions of people, it is hard to say how many people really support Lu Wu.
"Although the general is brave and magnificent, it is difficult to compete with the entire Chu State with the power of the Nanhe Mansion." Tang Chi's first sentence poured cold water.
Lu Wu refused to say anything. On the left side of the lobby, more than 20 newly promoted lieutenants glared at him.
On the right side of the lobby, the magistrates of each county nodded one after another.
The officer lieutenant promoted by Lu Wu may not think that Tang Chi was wrong, but his butt determines his position. In front of the boss, he has to pretend to be indignant.
Tang Chi continued: "The State of Chu regards us as a rebellion. Unless it fails to encircle and suppress it several times, it will definitely refuse to talk to each other. Now we can only ask for help from the two countries of Wu and Yue for help."
"But, although the general was indignant on the same day, if he invited the army of Wu to cross the river, all countries in the world would think that the general's action to seize the Nanhe Prefecture was the Wu Kingdom's undeclared war. I don't think Wu would be willing to take such a risk."
"Therefore, it is most likely that the reinforcements of the Wu Kingdom will not be successful." Tang Chi said here, and Lu Wu raised his hand to interrupt.
"A certain family killed Qu Wenyi to avenge Master Jiao Heng. To this point, it can only be said that God will do this. One person does things and one person does it, and there is no need to pull Wu State." Lu Wu said.
Tang Chi nodded and continued, "But the general's dominance in Nanhe Prefecture is beneficial to both Wu and Yue. Although it is inconvenient to provide open support, there is no other way."
"I heard that the general is the Jinwu doctor of Wu?"
Lu Wu nodded, wondering what Tang Chi means.
Perhaps the State of Chu also recognized the doctor of Wu?
But even if it is admitted, can the State of Chu use Nanhe Prefecture as a fiefdom?
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible? Unless the King of Chu is in a brain.
"Tang is willing to set off immediately across the river to pay homage to the King of Wu, and ask the King of Wu to give him a reward of Doctor Lu." Tang Chi stood up, bowed to Lu Wu, and said.
Lu Wu pondered for a while before she understood what Tang Chi meant.
The State of Wu cannot send troops directly, but can support Lu Wu by rewarding the Jinwu Doctor.
In this way, this is the personal grudge between the Jin and Wu Doctor of Wu and the entire Chu State, rather than the war between Wu and Chu State.
Seeing Lu Wu nodding, Tang Chi continued, "If this trip goes well, Tang will also turn to Yue Kingdom and ask for a visit to Yue Hou and ask for another reward for the general."
Yue Kingdom is Hou Kingdom, so it can only be called Yue Hou, not Yue King.
As for why Yue Hou rewarded the doctor of the Wu State?
