"The city has abundant food and grass, and there are 1.1 million arrows missing, 387 crossbows, 20,000 liters of tinder oil, and 50,000 liters of rolling wood and stones. Nine thousand elite soldiers guarding the city and 22,000 auxiliary soldiers. It is enough to defend the city!"

The third brother Meng De has always been responsible for the business affairs of the Meng family. After the three brothers took action, he coordinated all logistics affairs.

Since this battle was a life-and-death battle between the Meng family, he worked day and night and properly allocated materials to ensure the supply of materials in this battle. It was precisely because he knew that Tonghe City now has such powerful power that he supported his second brother Meng Yang's choice to the end.

Tonghe City is a big city, which was the front line of resisting the Chu army back then. It was built incredibly strong. Since then, as the core of Chu's rule in the south, although it has not been strengthened, it has been repaired intact. With these soldiers and supplies, in Meng De's opinion, no matter how elite the Chu army is, it is difficult to attack this city - what are you afraid of?

Meng Zheng shook his head, only the three brothers here, so there is no need to worry about shaking the morale of the army and saying whatever he wants.

"The three of us brothers were not in a good position. Although our second brother was very skilled in martial arts, he was born in a rampant family and it was difficult to get the full morale of the army."

"And third brother, you often do business between Wu and Yue, and don't go north. I don't know that the elites in the Central Plains are terrible. In the eyes of the elites in the North, we are afraid that they are not much better than the auxiliary soldiers."

Meng Zheng's face was heavy.

The second brother Meng Yang walked on the Jianghu Road, and the elite Chu army was in the north, competing with the cavalry of Yan State and the soldiers of Lu State. Although the second brother was already a first-class strongman with rare rivals, he had never seen the real elite of Chu State.

Meng Zheng is different. When he was young, he traveled to the Central Plains and served as an aide to the General of Yan State. He witnessed the head-on confrontation between the cavalry of Yan State and the Korean gun formation.

The cavalry of Yan State charged forward and collapsed in the sky and the earth. The Korean gun formation remained as if it were mountains, and the deathly fighting corpses were everywhere on both sides. At that time, Meng Zheng had already killed someone and asked himself that he was a little brave, but he still looked dissatisfied when watching the battle of this formation.

The Chu army is somewhat weaker than Yan's field battles, but the elite Chu army is a strong army that can compete head-on with the Yan's cavalry. If such men are transferred to the south, Meng Zheng is not optimistic about the green forest heroes recruited by the Meng family.

These elite soldiers from Green Forest heroes are the same even if they are skilled in martial arts and have the advantage of city defense.

"In the opinion of brother, how should we defend this city?" Meng Yang did not agree with brother's opinion.

If 30,000 people still can't defend a heroic city? This is unreasonable. If he has been hanging around in the world for many years, hasn't he been commanding a large group of people?

The army has good discipline and is much better than the people in the Jianghu. He is not worried about defending the city, but only worried that Lu Wu will not support him and will consume his strength.

"Distribute scouts to grasp the enemy's movements, ask General Lu for help as soon as possible, and give up the position of governing the city if necessary." Meng Zheng said.

Meng Yang nodded and stopped talking - the three brothers stood at the top of the city, looking at the setting sun, their hearts were all thinking.

Meng Yang naturally had other plans in his mind.

The scouts must do it. He has few people who are good at military tactics, but there are many skilled light skills and many robbers. He will definitely be able to grasp the movements of the Chu army clearly - this is called "knowing the enemy".

Asking for help from Lu Wu is something that is a last resort. Even if you ask for help, it is something that you only do after a great battle with the Chu army and defense difficulties. Otherwise, you will ask for help before you fight. How can you gain a foothold in the future?

What's more, if Lu Wu can be founded by Bo, can't Meng Yang do it?

Without a great battle, how can you get the position of Feng Bo in the future?

As for giving up the position of governing affairs? That is something that only considers when you are at the end of your life.

Wu State, Songjing.

"My grandfather, the soldiers are in danger. You are old, why should you go in person? I, the elite soldiers of the Wu Kingdom, have 100,000 soldiers and thousands of powerful generals. Do you want you to be so tired?"

King Ketu of Wu tried hard to persuade him.

General Luo Gan raised his beard and laughed: "Tu'er, don't say much. I have dreamed of spending the Lanshui River and regaining my hometown for decades. However, Wu is weak and I thought I would never have the chance to step on the Lanshui River again in this life. Now that I have such a chance, how can I let it go?"

"Besides, Lu Wu's son is brave and brave, but after his victory several times, he broke into the enemy's formation and killed the generals. Such a tactic was unexpected. It was okay to deal with the wastes in the south of Chu. If he met a real elite of the Chu army, he was afraid that Lu Wu's son would be in danger of his life. If I don't go, Lin Ji was just a cavalry general, how could he take charge of the overall situation?"

What he didn't say was that if the Wu Kingdom did not make great efforts in this battle, let alone Lu Wu would probably lose. Even if Lu Wu creates another miracle and wins a big victory - what is the face of Wu Kingdom in the future? To ask Lu Wu to give up the hometown of Wu?

That is the land of the three palaces!

"But if you go in person, wouldn't Wu betrayal--" Ketu also wanted to persuade him.

Wu did not declare war with Chu. It would be fine if others went to Lu Wu to help fight. At least they could make a few quibblings, but General Luo Gan was the highest military commander of Wu and the grandfather of King Wu Ketu. He ran over to help Lu Wu fight, which was a big deal.

"What does it mean to betrayal? I resigned from the position of general today and went to Wu as a guest minister of the Lu family. Could it be that Lu Liu's child is reluctant to give me a position of worship?"

“——Maternal grandfather!”

"Don't persuade me more, I'm determined!" Luo Gan turned around and left.

But Tu rushed to two steps and reached out to grab his grandfather's robe. But as soon as he grabbed his grandfather's sleeve, the sleeve in his hand turned into powder.

Outside Songjing, Baishi Town, Lu Mansion.

Now the Lu family has already bought all the wasteland outside Baishi Town that is not suitable for cultivation, burning away the weeds and woods, leveling the land, and quickly building many simple houses.

However, even so, the supplies and horses that came from all over the place still occupied the place. Every day, people shouted and neighed, which was like a large barracks - this is not an adjective.

Let’s not mention the Lu family masters recruited for the time being. There are thousands of soldiers who have complete armor and describe strong soldiers.

These are all ‘retired’ soldiers from the Wu Kingdom.

"Father, Bai'er said goodbye." Lu Bai was slender and handsome. He had a long straight blade knife around his waist and a soft armor of a dragon. He stood under the steps and bowed deeply to Lu Jinhe.

"This is the way--successful!" Lu Jinhe looked at his second son and gritted his teeth.

He originally wanted to say that he should protect himself, but when he spoke, he looked at the raging flames in his second son's eyes, and finally changed his words and said the word "success".

To be honest, Lu Jinhe spent much more energy on his eldest and second son than his fifth son who had been a child.

The more you give, the deeper your love will be.

What's more, Lu Wu has never been very obedient and lazy. After growing up a little, he even ran to Wutong Village to hide far away. Of course, there are also father-son relationships, but it is really not as good as Lu Song and Lu Bai.

Lu Wu is now extremely brave in martial arts, and Lu Jinhe is not worried about his safety. These five men can kill Gongzi Jiu in front of the martial arts master among thousands of troops. What formations can retain him in this world?

Although the second son Lu Bai is both civil and military, if he goes to the battlefield, he will have no choice but to live or die.

But if you miss this opportunity, your second son Lu Bai will try to enter the aristocratic class again, and your efforts will probably be a thousand times greater than that, and it may not be possible.
