Chapter 35: Isn't It Too Publicity?
This is the first autumn that Lu Wu ushered in in this era.
In the autumn of the Spring and Autumn Period, he didn't know if it was the location of the field, or if the climate was originally different from modern times, and he felt that it was even colder than when he was in modern times.
This time he went to serve, he didn't know how much time he would serve, and he made sufficient preparations.
In addition to the grain, grass, weapons, armor, tents and miscellaneous things that should be brought, the old Lu family also prepared nearly 300 sets of winter clothes.
Of course, Lu Wu made another mistake of a traverser, and he was very cautious about the supplies that should have been taken care of by the samurai.
You must know that in this era, when samurai and subjects are summoned to go to war, any materials should actually be prepared by themselves, and the lord does not have to bear them.
Only beyond the period of service of the samurai and subjects will the burden of logistics fall on the lord.
Because Lu Wu had too many things to carry, there were more carriages in the team.
The samurai had their own ideas about LĂź Wu's actions.
They felt a little helpless to have such a lord on the stall, but they felt extremely relieved.
No samurai is willing to owe the lord supplies at every turn, afraid that he will not be able to pay it back, and when it is really time to pay it back, he should pay it back with his life.
Naturally, the samurai's life was originally in the hands of the lord, but it was just the difference between being willing and unwilling to fight hard.
The people have their own ideas.
They only have too little property, and the lord is willing to accept it if he wants to give it.
To put it simply, most of the subjects are still cheap and do not take advantage of the bastard's mind, and there is no ideological burden of samurai.
The last time they went to Huocheng, it took a total of seven days from departure to arrival.
According to the footsteps of nearly thirty miles per day, Lao Lu's family should be between one hundred and thirty miles to one hundred and fifty miles away from Huocheng.
It's obviously three seven twenty-one, why isn't it two hundred and ten miles?
Because of the road, it is not straight from the old Lu family to Huocheng!
This time, it took Lu Wu five days to come to Huocheng.
The reason for being two days faster than the last one was real, and after walking once, they didn't have to spend time surveying the route.
Moreover, the wooden facilities left over from the last camp are still there, which can save a lot of time for more travel.
According to the conscription order, LĂź Wu needed to arrive in Huocheng within fifteen days.
But they came in only five days after receiving the call-up.
On the surface, Huo Cheng has changed a lot from last time.
Lu Wu saw that the number of soldiers standing guard on the city wall had not only increased, but all the flags displayed had also changed.
At the same time, the walls of the city wall have something that has not been seen before.
For example, a racket lever was installed, an oil pan was erected, and wood and stones were stacked.
In the area near the city wall, there are a large number of horses, and there are also mounds of earth raised from the east and west.
These are things that were not available before.
At first glance, it clearly increases the tension of the approaching big war.
When LĂź Wu's team approached Huocheng for thirty miles, they encountered patrolling troops more than once.
He couldn't help but show the call-up order he had gotten once or twice.
When they came to the city gates, the procession stopped.
A middle-aged man in armor, who did not give his name, declared himself to be a military lieutenant and was responsible for checking the composition of the troops that had been drafted in.
You won't be all armed when you're on the road.
As soon as Lu Wu heard that he was going to check, he ordered the samurai to wear armor and began to change his clothes.
At this moment, Lu Wu put on plate armor, and then with the help of Qing, he put on shoulder pads, waist pads, and armor skirts.
For the rest of the samurai, their armor suits lacked waist guards and armor skirts.
An army of steel was also unveiled.
"This ...... Evil gold also? It was the first time for the lieutenant to see this style of armor, so he couldn't help but be curious, and checked whether there were all weapons, and after the inspection, he asked Lu Wu, "Why?" â
What why?
The rest of the samurai's suit of armor is worn, and the protection of the vital points must be guaranteed, but it is too rushed, and the shape is really not very good-looking.
Lu Wu's set is different.
The plate armor on the chest is finely ground to give it a smooth and reflective look.
The armor was not completed in full, but the shoulder pads, wrist pads, arm guards, skirt armor, and leg guards were rushed out.
Lu Wu is now a black and reflective steel plate on his chest, shoulders, wrists, arms, both sides of the waist, hips, knees, and calves are all protected by the armor style.
To tell the truth, such a set of metal armor wears on the body, weighing about 20 kilograms, but it looks like a walking steel man, looking majestic.
It's not that the lieutenant hasn't seen anyone wearing iron armor, but the layout can only be said to be messy, not only does it not look good, but it also looks extremely weird.
He asked how the iron armor would rust, and how Lu Wu chose such a metal.
Lu Wu obviously understood, and said with a wry smile: "Without it, it's tight." â
The lieutenant was stunned when he heard the answer, and said, "This thing, Hua Ye." â
When Lu Wu saw that the lieutenant still didn't let him go, he began to think that he was asking for benefits, thinking about whether he was handing out red envelopes or something, but the lieutenant recorded that Lu Wu brought all the armor soldiers and let him go.
What is a lieutenant in the Jin army?
To put it simply, it is to assist the official position of the general.
Each army of the Jin State had a military commander as the supreme commander, and a military assistant was assigned to serve as the chief of staff, as well as some official positions such as Sima (military judge) and Yuwei (scout chief) to directly serve the supreme commander.
Then, there is the commander (division commander), the brigade commander (brigade commander), the pawn commander, the two Simas, and the army commander.
At the same time, in fact, there are generals (not generals, just generals) who lead a huge private army, and there are lieutenants who serve the generals.
The lieutenant's explanation to Lu Wu was that after entering the city, he went directly to the military camp in the east of the city, and waited for the arrangement to be assigned to someone who would be assigned to his "pawn" system.
Lu Wu came to the camp, and there were already people stationed inside.
When the people in the camp saw that a new army had arrived, those who were close to the camp gate put down their business and watched with curiosity.
"Takeko!"
A shout made Lu Wu turn his head to look over, saw Liang Zhu, who had been in contact once, and raised his hand and waved to greet him.
It should be that Lu Wu's dress is too special compared to the armor of this era?
Several nobles on Liang Xi's side immediately asked Lu Wu what his origin was.
In fact, this camp was also a concentration area for the minor aristocracy.
They were drafted, but they did not bring many troops, and they were usually added to the direct command of a large noble.
"Picks." Lu Wu entered the camp, and if he was not familiar with it, he should pretend to be familiar, echoed with Liang Yi enthusiastically, and said: "Long time, read also." â
It's been a long time, and I've missed you a little.
Liang Zhu said almost the same thing, then changed the topic, looked at the armor on Lu Wu's body, and said in amazement: "This thing, Hua Ye." It is very different from what Wuzi gifted. â
This is not the first time that anyone has praised Lu Wu's gorgeous armor, and even forgot that the ridicule was made of iron.
Can Lu Wu tell Liang Zhu that he sent the goods last time?
Definitely not!
He was repeatedly praised for his gorgeous armor, and when he saw the envious and jealous eyes of the rest of the nobles, he wondered if he was pretending to be too forced.
"Why don't you ......," Lu Wu thought sullenly, "Usually be simple?" â
