Chapter 160: Hidden evil intentions, return to Nanhe
Lu Wu suddenly praised Jiang Xingde for his far-reaching planning, which made Jiang Changzhi a little confused. However, this kind of praise comes from the mouth of others, Jiang Changzhi can accept it as a praise, but if it comes from the mouth of General Lu, Jiang Changzhi would not dare to recognize it like this - the king said that important officials have far-reaching plans in rebellion, which is not a good thing.
There are three kilograms of nails in the broken ship.
Although the Jiang family's forces were expelled from the military for a while, the Jiang family was the first wealthy family in Nanhe Prefecture, and the Lu Wu's subordinates had no one to be available. In the end, the veteran General Jiang Xingde was invited to command the troops and confront the troops of the Hantu Prefecture.
It can be said that the Jiang family is still the largest force under Lu Wu's rank, and it is closely related to traditional nobles such as the Tang family. If the Jiang family has a strange intention, it will be an irreversible damage to the Lu Wu's forces.
In fact, Jiang Xingde finally regained military power. Before leading the army, he repeatedly reminded his clan members to keep a low profile and never provoke Lu Wu's murderous intent. Therefore, when the Qian family was suppressed by the Zhechongsi, he asked the Jiang family to help him. The Jiang family simply tied the Qian family to the gate of the Zhechongsi and handed it over to Qiutong's subordinates. If it weren't for the Jiang family's support, Qiutong's high-pressure policy and directly spoke with a knife, there might be chaos in Nanhe Mansion.
"The General is apologizing. Although my grandfather made some preparations early, it was just because the Chu State was pressing us, the old ministers of the Wu State, over the years, and my grandfather had to make plans just in case." Jiang Changzhi quickly defended.
"Lu can still tolerate a Jiang family. As long as the Jiang family does not resist Lu's military law as the basis for the establishment of the system, and the Jiang family's merits will be granted the title of the Supreme Minister."
This was not what Jiang Changzhi said, but was told to Jiang Xingde.
"Thank you, Lu Bo!" Jiang Changzhi was overjoyed and said hurriedly.
Lu Wu nodded, stopped talking, and fell silent thoughtfully, just let the Black God walk slowly.
Confidants are also divided into three categories.
If Qiu Tong and the other five were Lu Wu's first-class confidants, Jiang Changzhi, a person who came to him to serve him because of the threat of interests, could only be considered the seventh-class at most.
So some things not only cannot be explained to him, but they will mislead his thinking direction.
For example, Lu Wu handed over the entire Tonghe City and even half of Tonghe Mansion to the Meng family, but she did not have any kind intentions.
This will certainly mean that great contributions should be paid heavily and should be done for others to see.
Secondly, if the Chu State counterattack this time, it will be a thunderous moment. With the Meng family in front of the cushion, Lu Wu can make some targeted preparations.
As for the third, the Meng family has two black and white identities, and Meng Yang has the dual identities of the leader of the Green Forest and the boss of the White Road. He has an amazing potential in the Five Southern Palaces, and can actually use 30,000 troops - even if these 30,000 troops are not regular troops, but green forest bandits, it is also an amazing force.
How did Lu Wu conquer Yuci Mansion by himself? How did he mess with Tonghe Mansion? He forced Tonghe Mansion to send troops out of the city to manage the affairs?
He didn't act out, fight one city after another - if he fought like this, even if every city was smoothly defeated, there would probably be few living people under Lu Wu's men.
He let go of his subordinates and harassed the local people, and finally made all the local nobles and landlords unable to bear it, so he gathered to put pressure on the Tonghe Prefecture's governing affairs and Xianggui.
Of course, Xianglu didn't care if he had a family and two families, but he couldn't stand it even if all the nobles of the entire Tonghe Prefecture united.
Who is the best at harassing places?
Although bandits are like combs and soldiers are like combs, unless it is a battle of feudal countries and the real evil is really done, most of them are bandits and bandits.
If Lu Wu gains a foothold in the future, this kind of person in the green forest must be dealt with, otherwise, let alone any safety hazards, the cost of commercial circulation alone is a big problem.
If we want to deal with these people in the green forest, will the Meng family watch? That is not three to five hundred people, but tens of thousands of people, and it is the largest potential force of the Meng family.
Therefore, Lu Wu placed Meng Yang in Tonghe City in the hope that under the pressure of Chu State, Meng Yang would recruit his subordinates to be cannon fodder to defend the city. This could be considered a killing of two birds with one stone. It consumed potential sources of chaos and was also a low-cost guarding city. If Tonghe City could really be defended, Lu Wu would not care about the heavy rewards.
At that time, the surviving green forest bandits will be transformed into gentry. If there are any recurrences in the future, it will be much more convenient to wipe out - copycats are often easy to defend but difficult to attack, but the courtyards in the village will be much easier to attack.
As for whether these Green Forest bandits who have not undergone formal military training can fight?
Maintaining the military system in field battles is not easy, but in defending the city, even ordinary civilians can come in handy, let alone those people in the green forest who are still licking blood from the knife.
They always have the courage to fight.
What's more, Meng Yang is a man of ambition, Lu Wu doesn't believe that others are in the city, and they have two thousand men left by themselves. They are coercive and tempted together, but they can't control the people in the green forest who were originally his own subordinates (even if some are just nominal) as cannon fodder to defend the city?
———————————————
From Tonghe Prefecture to Nanhe Prefecture, it is not close, but it is far away, but it is not far away.
With the carriage and horses sparkling, Lu Wu returned to Nanhe City for only one day.
After Lu Wu was welcomed into the city by Qiutong and others and a group of top figures in Nanhe City, he came to pay homage to his elders first.
——According to the etiquette at this time, elders should not come out to welcome younger generations. If Lu Wu really ascends to the position of Lu Bo, there will be a difference between the monarch and the minister, which will naturally be another kind of etiquette for getting along with each other. However, Lu Wu has not yet officially been named Bo at this time, so he will still get along with each other according to common sense.
"Meet the two mothers." Lu Wu first saluted respectfully to the two mothers, then turned around and saluted Lin Ji: "Uncle Lin, my nephew has been in military affairs these two days and has been in trouble. I hope that uncle will not blame him."
My mother is from his own family. Although Lin Ji and the Lu family are close, they are separated by a floor, so he is more polite to Lin Ji.
"Hahaha, where did Wu'er say? Naturally, major events in the military are important. What's the point of whether our family welcomes us or not?"
Lin Ji walked over with a smile, helped Lu Wu up with his hands, looked up and down, and said, "It turns out that Ying Feng is so sharp and handsome, the dragon and phoenix are so beautiful. Uncle Lin has long thought you are not a person in the pool, but he didn't expect that you would be established at the age of 16!"
Lu Wu just smiled bitterly: "Uncle Lin has been too rewarded. Lu Wu is just forced to do anything. If he could spend all day leisurely and wait for death, that would be Lu Wu's wish. Now that he is busy all day long, Lu Wu will be very upset."
