To be honest, Lu Wu is a little excited!

As soon as he told a few of his retainers in "Xintian", the retainers instantly became excited.

Mao Ping, who came from the country of Lu, was the most excited, and asked: "Lord, the minister is from the country of Lu, knows the customs and customs, and can be a guide." ”

Liang Xing said unyieldingly: "The minister is good at socializing, so he should naturally go." ”

The rest of the retainers thought a little.

They pondered that there were Maoping and Liang Xing going, and they couldn't show much value if they went by themselves, so no one said anything more.

It's just that the Yin Clan's ability to participate in international affairs is a very big thing, even if they can't directly participate in it, the Yin Clan is strong, and they will follow the rising tide, and they will feel excited and excited one by one.

Lu Wu had already made an appointment with Wei.

This trip was a bit special.

It is very likely that force will be used to suppress the Qi and Lu states?

There were fewer people to bring with them, and it was impossible to make Qi and Lu feel the pressure.

Otherwise, the old Lu family and the old Wei family will each pull out a "division", right?

Wei is also attached to the formation of the Chinese army.

Wei Qi, who followed a piece of Wei Qi to the south, took a "division" with him.

With the strength of the old Wei family, there is no problem in pulling another "division" out.

Therefore, Wei Xiang happily agreed.

Lü Wu had already sent people back to the fiefdom to recruit.

He made his debut on the stage of diplomatic relations for the first time this time, and he had to have a shining debut, and things had to be done beautifully.

The troops brought out should not pull their hips too much, and even if they pretend, they must pretend to be a tall image.

Considering that whether or not he can subdue Qi and Lu is related to the southern expedition, once Lu Wu does things well this time, there will definitely be no shortage of bonus points.

Therefore, it is said that it is to suppress the Qi State and the Lu State, whether it is really by subduing it, and it is best to persuade it with only your mouth.

In this way, there is not enough peak military capacity, how can the Qi State and the Lu State not dare to act rashly.

Wei Xiang must have known this.

He agreed so happily when Lu Wu proposed to ask the Wei family to have a "division".

Just go to two "divisions", can you achieve the goal of intimidation?

One "division" of the Jin state had a hundred chariots and seven thousand five hundred soldiers.

In the rest of the vassal states, one "division" consisted of only a hundred chariots and two and a half thousand soldiers.

According to the Zhou royal system, Lu is a princely state, and it can have two "army" troops.

The State of Qi is also a Hou State, and the number of troops it can have is the same as that of the State of Lu.

It is the so-called Wang Sixth Army, the third army of a large country, the second army of a sub-country, and the first army of a small country.

It's just that the system of the Zhou royal family has actually collapsed.

Who led the lead?

It's hard to tell.

At present, the Jin State, which regards itself as the protector of Zhou Tianzi, has already caused a transgression in the military system.

But whether it is the Zhou royal family or various vassal states, they can't manage it at all.

If the Jin State really guarded the system, there could only be two "armies" a long time ago, and each "army" would not be such an establishment.

The current military system of the Jin State was approved by Zhou Tianzi.

Who let Zhou Tianzi rely on the protection of the Jin State now.

Isn't it?

There is the Jin State as an example, and the rest of the vassal states are not stupid.

If the strength of the vassal states is not good, no matter how hard they are, they will not be able to maintain the strength they should have, and they will have no share but no ability.

Some powerful vassal states, due to the deterrence of the Jin State, did not dare to follow suit, such as adding a few more legions, but they came up with their own set.

They generally make a fuss about "envy".

That is, not to increase the number of legions, and not to increase the strength of a certain legion, to engage in additional armed forces. (Enhanced Reserve Reserves)

There is a little bit of Chu State's private army, but it has stronger control over the private army than Chu State.

Before departure.

Lü Wu took the initiative to find Wei Xiang and asked, "At the junction of the three kingdoms, what are the troop forces of each country?" ”

Wei Xiang replied: "The state of Lu sent 3,000 troops, with Meng Sun as the general; The State of Qi sent 7,000 troops, with Yan weak as the general. ”

Didn't say Ju country?

Before, Lu Wu was very unfamiliar with Ju Guo, and he didn't know anything.

Since he wants to send an envoy, and because of the trouble caused by Ju Guo, he must understand it.

Ju is a country of Dongyi.

Although they have become one of the vassal states under the Zhou royal family, many customs and customs are different from those of other countries.

Ju was once very strong and had the title of the hero of Dongyi.

Lu Wu learned about an old thing, and heard that Qi Henggong once went to Ju to take refuge and received a lot of help, and the idiom "don't forget to be in Ju" was born.

In recent decades, the states of Lu and Qi have often been in trouble because of the state of Ju.

The main reason is that both Lu and Qi want to control Ju.

And Ju is certainly not happy to be controlled.

It's just that Ju can't afford to provoke Lu, and even more so Qi, and it's very helpless to become a wallgrass.

"It's like the old things of Wei Guo and Cao Guo." Lu Wu said this.

Wei Guo's claim for Cao's territory was probably stimulated by the Jin State's bite from the Qin State.

It shows that once there is an example, it will soon make the vassal states ready to move.

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Or a good thing." ”

When the Jin Kingdom saw it, it was about to become chaotic, and if it was not chaotic, there would be internal political disagreements, resulting in various decrees that could not be immediately effective and enforced.

Either way, the national strength of the Jin Kingdom will definitely decline.

On this premise, the filth of the various vassal states, or the constant friction, must be beneficial to the Jin State.

This time, the Jin State paid attention to the filth between the Lu State and the Qi State because of the Ju State, but in fact, it was only because the coalition army was crusading against the Zheng State, and it might confront the Chu State.

If there was no such thing, even if the Jin Kingdom would mediate, the speed should definitely not be so fast.

In addition, it should be said that in ordinary times, the Jin State has added drama to itself in the affairs of various countries, and there have been frictions between various vassal states many times, and there are actually operations of the Jin State in it.

There's not much to say about this.

The more stable a neighbor is, the more detrimental and even threatening it will be.

As a hegemon, you should add drama to yourself from time to time, or be a hegemon.

The troops of the Lao Lu family and the old Wei family arrived at "Xintian" on the fifteenth and eighth days respectively.

The nobles of "Xintian" found that there were two more troops outside the city, and they were a little frightened and confused at first.

The reason for this is that the Hao family did it before.

They thought there was something else going on.

Han Ju, who was as steady as an old dog, found that there was a commotion in "Xintian", and on the one hand notified all parties, and on the other hand, urged Lu Wu and Wei Xiang to leave quickly.

In fact, each family sent people to snoop, and saw that the soldiers who came were wearing extremely high armor, and they were all dressed in iron armor, and they guessed that they were the Yin clan's armament based on their clothing.

As for the old Wei family?

They are close to the old Lu family, and then they have obtained the right to distribute iron armor, and the price of picking up the goods is cheaper, and the troops equipped with iron armor are of course more than the rest of the families.

Lu Wu really made a bloody investment this time.

The "disciples" in the family pulled out 2,800, and the "envy" was also the group with a relatively high degree of training.

At the same time, according to Lu Wu's order, Song Bin found Zhuo to open the arsenal and matched all the soldiers with armor, and the weapons were also fully iron.

With temporary armor, the soldier simply gets the right to use the armor.

In other words, after the task is completed, the armor still needs to be handed in.

Wei Xiang borrowed from Lü Wu's method, and gave some elites temporary allocation of armor and weapons.

As a result, the Yin and Wei clans who gathered over "Xintian" had a surprisingly high armor rate.

Lü Wu and Wei Xiang went out of the city, walked to the middle of the road, and Zhishuo chased after them.

"Wu, Shuo goes with you." Zhishuo only brought a small number of guards.

Lu Wu thought for a while and nodded and said, "In this way, the Zhi clan will have another 'division'?" ”

Zhishuo was stunned when he heard this, smiled wryly, and said, "Shuo has not been ordered by the general......

Let's talk about yarn!

If you want to mix qualifications, it's not such a mixed method.

Lu Wu said somewhat sarcastically: "The three 'brigades' are also acceptable. ”

Zhishuo said: "If Wu is willing to give 'A', it can be." ”

Is this the true inheritance of Zhigang?

A long time ago, Lu Wu promised to take Zhishuo with him, and he also promised to help Zhishuo complete the equipment of a "brigade".

After the last "Battle of Yanling", Lü Wu disposed of the grain left by the Chu army, and the Zhi clan helped.

Later, Zhigang nominated Lu Wu to become a lieutenant.

It turned out that Zhigang was absolutely unwilling to help in vain, and had been waiting for Lu Wu to give a return.

It's a good thing to have some contacts.

Lu Wu took into account that Zhigang's reputation was very good, and said: "With the capital of a 'brigade', I will send someone back to 'Yin' to recruit." ”

Zhishuo immediately smiled and said, "In this way, the three 'brigades' required by Wu, Shuo will definitely bring them!" ”

As a bystander, Wei Xiang secretly shook his head.

Lao Zhi's family started from the beginning of Zhigang's sect, and the family style is so wonderful.

As the second generation of Zhishuo, he has a good look, but he is too explicit, and he doesn't know what Zhi's family style will become.

In the matter of Zhishuo wanting to send an envoy together?

Lu Wu must have asked Han Ju for advice.

And Han Ju did not give any opinion, neither objected, nor gave Zhishuo any appointment.

Such a reaction is very much in line with Han Ju's code of conduct.

The back door will never be opened.

Afterwards, if the mission goes well, Zhigang wants to get some credit for Zhishuo?

If it is not his own business, Han Ju will probably not object.

Because the monarch was not in "Xintian", there were problems with the specifications of Lü Wu's envoy.

For official envoys, they need to carry their credentials, as well as "festivals" from the king.

Han Ju had already sent people to the south urgently.

The team that has obtained the credentials and the "festival" will quickly join Lu Wu.

They only go to Qi and take their own route directly.

The route is to take the northern Xinjiang of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the Hebei region.

The place to which the envoy is going this time is called "Mengyin (Mengyin)", that is, the border junction of the three countries.

In this way, it is somewhat inappropriate to go to Hebei.

The route chosen by Lü Wu was to pass through the Wei Kingdom, and then take the Cao State to enter the territory of the Lu State, and stop at Tan (tán) on the northwest side of Qufu, the capital of the Lu State, and wait for the national letter and the "festival" to arrive.

And this time, he wasn't going to waste too much time.

In this case, he needs to find the right way to resolve the dispute between Lu and Qi as soon as possible.

What is more difficult is that Han Ju has limited authorization, but he gave a death order that must be quelled.

Before arriving, Lü Wu needs to consult with Wei Xiang to come up with a strategy that can solve the problem!
