Chapter 136: The Wrath of the King of Chu, the Letter of Qiu Tong

Chu State, Chengdu, Yiming Pavilion.

Yiming Pavilion is the study of the King of Chu in all dynasties, which means "If you don't whirl, you will be shocked."

"Liu Yuan, this trash! idiot! idiot! Even if I put a pig there, I would not have taken a place in the palace for several days!"

"Bang!" The white jade paperweight smashed the pillar, smashing a dragon whisker on the black dragon relief on the pillar.

"Qu Wenyi is also a waste! He is known as a wise man. At the age of his life, he still can't handle a young boy, causing such a big trouble!"

"Dang!" The mo jade inkstone and the white porcelain vase died together.

On weekdays, King Xiang of Chu could not put down the vase, but now he has become a partner to vent his anger.

"Huhu, that old Panfu - too! He is a big old man who is too old! He is too old but underestimating the enemy and failing my high expectations!"

Speaking of General Pan Fu, although the King of Chu was extremely angry, he still had some verbal virtue.

After all, General Pan Funian Gao Dezhao once fought in the north without retreating and turned the tide. Now he died in the battlefield, even the King of Chu must retain some respect for him.

"Please calm down your anger," Princess Ji Yue, who was the princess of Chu, dared to speak softly after most of the anger of King Xiangtong of Chu was released.

"Stop the anger, how can I calm down? They talk very well on weekdays, and they all claim to be good generals and great sages. What's the result? The Great Chu was defeated by the hands of these trash!"

"Master, maybe it's not that they are incompetent, but that Lu Wu is too cunning?"

"Cunning, what kind of cunning? Lu Wu is just--" King Xiangtong of Chu said halfway, and suddenly got stuck.

He originally wanted to say that Lu Wu was a military general and a standard brave man. It is hard to say whether he has a brain or not. How can he be called cunning?

(From ancient times, military strategists and generals have basically been violent men who are extremely superstitious about force, and there are very few people who are good at playing tricks.)

But when I think back, the defeat of Qu Wenyi may be because Lu Wu unexpectedly went wild; Jiang Xingde rebelled against Chu may also be because he had been planning for a long time;

But General Pan Fu is good at guarding, and is definitely not a reckless person. Liu Yuan is also a capable official promoted by himself.

These people were either defeated by Lu Wu or surrendered to Lu Wu's sect. It may be a coincidence for one person. Is it a coincidence for so many people?

Lu Wu started from scratch with no talent at all. Several generals who were from maids were not very useful. From the time of the uprising to now, she has been invincible in the battle.

Especially when Lu Wu scored a city, he would definitely remove senior middle and senior military officers and promote lower-level soldiers to officials, thereby accepting rebels, gathering the morale of the army, and promulgating military rules to imitate the Qin 20th-level military title system, which made people warlike.

Moreover, Lu Wu openly forced the big households to plunder countless gold, silver, grain and grass. After sharing the money with his soldiers, there was still a large amount of money left, which was enough to support the military expenses for at least one to two years without increasing taxes.

Although this is not a long-term solution, it can be used to be militant in the short term to ensure worry-free logistics.

Lu Wu's troops rolled up like snowballs. Now that the two palaces combined, this person could use at least 100,000 troops - even if the county soldiers were not counted, more than 20,000 soldiers could be used.

Twenty thousand troops don’t seem to be much, but in fact, any war must consider mobilization costs, logistics supply, effective command scope and battlefield capacity. It is not that the more troops the better.

The 20,000 elite troops were enough to stand alone, and they fought with Chu State in some areas - even King Xiang of Chu, who wanted to mobilize 20,000 elite troops to go to war, had to make plans.

These people must be in charge, not just move.

If you blindly tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, you will probably have to press the gourd to float up. The loss is not worth it, and it is a trivial matter to reveal bigger flaws.

———————————————

King Xiang of Chu was furious and did not only lose one Yuci City, but also a whole Yuci Mansion - in just three days.

After Lu Wu took the Yuci City, he almost never used the army. He just sent people to persuade him to surrender, and he took down nineteen counties and towns in Yuci Prefecture without any blood.

In a few cities that insisted on resisting, some of the city's wealthy families secretly informed them, and even some even opened the city gates and responded to Lu Wu's army entering the city.

Less than a month ago, with the help of local snakes like the Jiang family in Nanhe Mansion, who had been operating for a long time, Lu Wu wanted to take over the entire Nanhe Mansion, and he also had to fight over the city after a while.

But now, Lu Wu's reputation has resounded throughout the surrounding several prefectures, and Yuci Mansion is even more isolated and helpless. Therefore, even if the county magistrate and magistrate are ready to resist, the city's major households will rebel.

Just kidding, if you don’t surrender quickly, attract Lu Wu and capture the city, you will destroy the three major families.

How many big families can there be in a city? Who dares to say that it is definitely not my turn?

The Zhang family, a famous nobleman in Yuci Mansion, had no chance to surrender because Lu Wu broke Yuci City too quickly and had no chance to surrender. As a result, the whole family was destroyed. Only some poor relatives who were not close to each other, and a few concubines who had no chance to inherit their family business, study abroad, and accumulate fame survived.

It is probably more difficult to revive the Zhang family by relying on these people than climbing the sky - do these people want to revive the Zhang family or do they have a different idea?

Yuci Prefecture, Yuci City, City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Wu was handling official business and frowned from time to time.

To be honest, Lu Wu has no interest in handling official business. Even fighting on the battlefield is much more comfortable than dealing with these messy things.

However, it is not easy to get out before establishing a system that can operate stably and equipped with talents who can operate this system?

What's more, people are not sure now. If you dare to be lazy, you are afraid that this little force will collapse in the blink of an eye.

"Letter from General, Mrs. Qiutong, Nanhe Prefecture." A personal soldier rushed into the lobby and presented a letter with both hands.

"Husband: I see my words as if I met."

"All the trip to Qian's family went smoothly.

I killed six elders of the Qian family, the mother of Qian family, the legitimate son and the confidant of the family, a total of 131 people. Now Qian Wei's father voluntarily resigned from the position of head of the family. Qian Wei's son Qian Sui was taken by the head of the Qian family by the head of the Qian family, and offered 30,000 taels of silver and 200 hectares of land.

But the husband originally wanted Qian Sui to be the number one heir to the Qian family, but now he is directly supported as the head of the family. Is it not in line with the husband's intention?"

"Other retired soldiers were properly placed, and disabled people were allocated land in one place for unified care. I hired 60 strong servants and men, who were responsible for taking care of them. Some soldiers came to inspect every day."

"Dozens of families including Zhu family, He family, Sun family, etc., came to the house, hoping to send the eldest son in the family to serve in the husband's personal military camp and replace the second son home. I don't know what to do with it, and I have to wait for my husband to make a decision in person."

"I formed the Zhechongsi, and according to my husband's words, I auctioned a small portion of the calligraphy, paintings and jewelry obtained from the house search, and received a total of 774,523 taels of silver, which was far beyond the estimated 500,000 taels of silver. However, according to my opinion, many of them deliberately offered high prices, probably to flatter their husbands?"

"The State of Wu sent someone to Nanhe Prefecture and said that he wanted to give his husband a title of the title of Zhenjiang Prefecture. He didn't know whether it was true or not. If it was true, the husband was the founding lord, and I was considered a wife of a country? The sisters were a little anxious and asked his husband to come back quickly to marry them and let them become wives."
