Chapter 176: Show off your strength

Civil strife broke out in the Jin Kingdom!

It's just that when the Jin Kingdom does not have internal strife once in a while, it will seem very unJin.

This time it was the Yin clan that broke out in civil strife.

In the past, the contradiction between the great sect and the Bozong of the Hao clan was not too acute, so that the internal strife broke out in the Yin clan, which made many families feel stunned.

"The Luan clan already knew about the internal contradictions of the Yin clan, and also peeked into the previous troop movements of the Great Sect?" Luan Shu's gentle and majestic face appeared in Lu Wu's mind, and he thought, "Is it Luan Huang's unobstructed mouth that caused Bozong to flee and forced the Yin Clan's Great Sect to act in advance?" ”

If that's really the case, the Luan clan and the Hao clan were all minor contradictions before, and after this time, the Luan clan and the Hao clan have completely formed a big feud!

It would have been a thing.

The Yin Clan's Great Sect has been secretly arranged, and it is clear that it can be launched when it is ready, but the Luan Clan has disrupted the plan.

Lu Wu was very surprised by Bozong's decisiveness, it was just Luan Huang's words, and he fled immediately.

From a certain aspect, Bozong's quick decision can also prove that the contradictions within the Yin clan are far greater than they are revealed, to the point where one party must disappear.

Lü Wu couldn't get more information, only that the Great Sect of the Hao Clan took action immediately after Bozong fled.

So, where did Bozong go after he fled?

The country he chose to flee to was the state of Chu.

Since then, there has been one more Bo family in the state of Chu.

Lu Wu was waiting for Bi Yang, and he had been waiting for him.

In the era when the speed of news transmission was not fast, it is difficult to know the extent of the civil strife in the Hao clan in a short period of time.

During this period of time, no one from the Wei clan came to Bi Yang.

He was receiving reception from Wei Han.

It is a very face-saving thing for the married girl to be a guest of the mother's family, but as long as she can receive it, she will definitely do her best.

Wei Han consulted Lu Wu and asked for a manor halfway up the mountain.

Lu Wu had no reason not to agree.

The "yin" land is mountainous, and the old Lu family has built a lot of manors on the halfway side of some mountains, except for the largest one used to hold regular meetings, the rest are considered to be the nature of resorts.

The intellectuals of Zhuxia have always had a special affection for living in the mountains.

They feel that being close to nature can sublimate their spiritual level, and that some things that are difficult to figure out can be solved by living in the mountains.

Lü Wu would build a number of manors on the mountainside, mainly because if you look from there, you can have a panoramic view of most of the plains of the "yin" land.

Of course, in fact, it also depends on the fact that the mountain is not so steep, and it is not difficult to build.

In addition, the plains are in the period of great development, and they look chaotic and noisy at the same time.

Lu Wu himself has no particular resistance to noisy.

No matter how noisy it is, can it compare to the streets of modern cities?

The grandmother and several ladies of the family, including the children, were in a very bad state of mind because of the chaotic and noisy relationship, and it became necessary to move to live halfway up the mountain.

Let's just build a few more manors and give them to the retainers.

Before the construction of the city was completed, the halfway up the mountain became the main residence of the high-rise of the old Lu family.

When the city is built, it will be good to use it as a resort.

Lu Wu waited left and right, and Bi Yang, who was a guest, did not say anything.

He couldn't just wait.

The development and construction of the old Lu family has its own system, and there is a plan for what should be done.

The sewer digging process was much faster than expected!

At the current pace, the sewer will be completed in one year and three months without incident.

The relocation of some of the subjects and the clearing of cultivated land have always been the responsibility of Yu Xianzai.

This retainer reported several times, and the progress can only be said to be step-by-step.

In terms of promoting samurai, each batch of promotions needs to be operated by Lu Wu personally, and others cannot be replaced.

After improving the social status of that part of the people, Song Bin was in charge of the drills.

Lu Wu went to check on the training.

The heavy infantry has already trained the "tortoiseshell formation" to a decent level, and has switched to training the tactics of advancing in echelons.

In fact, the "tortoiseshell array" can only show its effect at certain special moments, and it is generally used in siege warfare.

In field battles, the role of the "tortoiseshell formation" is to defend and counterattack.

Lü Wu began to train heavy infantry from the "tortoiseshell formation", focusing on strengthening discipline and team coordination.

Because the color of the uniforms of the Jin Kingdom is bright red, a group of heavy infantry wearing ring armor or cuirass, carrying shields painted red on the surface of the shield, has a sense of confusion in the painting style.

After training for a while, Song Bin made a suggestion to Lu Wu.

He believes that since it is necessary to develop the heavy infantry line, will the advantages of the heavy infantry be brought into play in more aspects?

Perhaps the types of weapons used by the heavy infantry should be increased, such as a light spear with a length of about two meters.

I have to say, the advice is very pertinent.

Armed with short swords and large shields, they form a close formation to approach the enemy, and have a great advantage in a close combat state.

Crucially, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it is not always possible to create the desired engagement environment.

Song Bin also put forward the idea that heavy infantry is only suitable for positional warfare.

Heavy infantry, of course, is only suitable for positional warfare!

Each class has its own unique features and areas where it can play to its greatest strengths.

Let the heavy infantry fight a war of movement, and it is more likely that they will tire themselves to death first.

Using unarmored soldiers to fight positional battles with heavy infantry is purely filling with human lives.

Lu Wu knew how difficult it was for a class to add a weapon.

It's not just a weapon, that class instantly becomes a new class.

Each additional weapon for a soldier represents a new way of training, and the soldier needs to master the skills to use.

Whether or not to add a two-meter light spear to the heavy infantry is a matter of later, and the key is to practice the skills they need to master first.

And Lü Wu didn't simply want to take the heavy infantry route.

This class, the limit is actually quite large, and it belongs to the type where it is difficult to expand the results if you win, and you can't run away if you lose.

He had asked the craftsmen to study armor that was light and could take more care of defense, and the weight should be limited to less than ten catties.

The significance of the soldier's armor is more to use anti-arrows, so as not to be directly emptied by several waves of arrow rain.

The Nakahara horse is too short and does not have commendable stamina, nor can it carry weights.

This limited the development of cavalry, otherwise Lü Wu would definitely develop cavalry.

He has made people pick out good horses, trying to breed better horses.

On the other hand, he also sent men to the north, whether it was trading or looting, and if he could get better horses, he would complete the goal.

Before you get a suitable warhorse, the only thing you can play is the mounted infantry.

Based on this factor, Lü Wu has already offered ideas, urging craftsmen to research and build suitable vehicles that will be used for transportation.

After he waited for a month and seven days, Bi Yang, who had not moved, finally proposed to go to "Lu".

And during this period, news about the civil strife in the Hao clan was sent again and again.

There are many fiefs of the Hao clan, some of which are relatively large, and some of which are cut into pieces.

Bozong only has four small fiefdoms, and the location is still relatively far away.

I don't know if it was because the Great Sect of the Hao Clan didn't think it was important, or if it was originally the plan, the fief that bordered the "Lü" land, and it wasn't until four days before Bi Yang proposed to go to the "Lü" land that the battle broke out.

Bi Yang did not mention the matter of the internal strife of the Hao clan.

Since he didn't mention it, Lu Wu didn't talk about it.

Receiving a fief is a very important and serious matter, and Lü Wu must be cautious.

His cautious treatment was that at the sound of an order, the old Lu family dispatched 140 chariots, 2,000 armor soldiers, and 5,500 ordinary infantry (melee and ranged soldiers).

In addition, how could the assembled troops be without auxiliaries, and 8,000 people (subjects and slaves) were gathered at once.

This is not that Lu Wu loves to pretend.

On the premise of not affecting the construction of the fief as much as possible, he must show his force to the Wei family and the surrounding nobles, and send a signal in this way: Brothers, I am not easy to mess with. Think about what you want to do before you want to do it.

Bi Yang and Lu Wu were in the same car, and when they inspected the troops of the old Lu family, they said: "Wu has the art of management. ”

During this period of time in Lao Lu's house, Bi Yang personally went to some places to check, and more often asked his retainers to walk around and see more.

All they could see was the part that Lu Wu wanted to show.

If they don't want to cause any misunderstanding, they can't snoop around.

Lu Wu didn't know if the Wei clan was going to pit himself, and he was already vigilant.

Under the orders of officers of all ranks, samurai in heavy armor began to board the carriage with long compartments.

Bi Yang was curious about what the situation of those vehicles was before, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that scene.

Of course, it is not possible for a soldier to march in heavy armor all the time, and it is common to wait until the time of war to wear armor.

The van used to transport troops, it is difficult to see more if you don't look closely, you can only see more axles.

A van loaded ten heavy infantrymen sat on long rows of planks on the left and right.

Each one is pulled by two oxen or three horses.

Bi Yang was very silent along the way, and he had been observing the army of the old Lu family.

He found that the discipline shown by the army of the old Lu family was not lost to the Wei clan at all, and even surpassed the Wei clan in terms of marching order.

Wei had been studying heavy infantry.

Because of the focus of the research, the Wei family's requirements for military discipline are much higher than those of other families.

After all, heavy infantry is indeed a branch of the army that has very strict requirements for military discipline.

They marched west first.

Lü Wuyou sent his retainers to visit the families along the way in advance, informing them that it was just a normal excuse.

When the army of the old Lu family approached the "Yang" land, it still scared the nobles here.

On the one hand, these families were vigilant, and on the other hand, they sent their retainers to pay their respects.

It wasn't until the army of the old Lu family crossed Fenshui from the "Kundu" side that they were truly relieved.

"I've been looking for people to build bridges, when will I find them?" Lu Wu didn't want to design it himself, he knew very well that this kind of thing couldn't be joked! He thought: "There are no bridges in the fiefdom, it's too troublesome!" ”

If you have to borrow the Tao every time, can you not be troublesome?

They crossed the Fenshui River and came to the north shore and arrived at the land of "Huo".

There are already vassals of the old Lu family here, and they will come to greet them.

Lu Wu socialized with them for a while, and after a slight delay of two days, he continued to drive towards "Lu".

This time, the movement of the old Lu family was a bit big, which attracted the attention of many families.

It wasn't until Lü Wu led the army to the "Lü" land that the commotion fermented.

Many families were at a loss when they learned about it.

They wondered, the old Lu family had only been developing for a few years, why was this the case???

Compared with the development speed of the old Lu family, they are simply turtle speed!
