There is no need to report to Xintian and obtain permission for such a thing as cracking down on the Hu people in the north.

If you know how to be a man, you need to ask (inform) those big nobles in northern Xinjiang.

It would be different if the nations in the circle of Chinese civilization were to be beaten.

Without the permission of the marshal, the use of force against the Chinese cultural circle is an encroachment, but it will be punished very severely.

Of course, there is no need to tell and ask for permission to beat the beard.

However, once serious consequences are caused, such as Hu Ren gathering a large army to retaliate, it is natural that he will have to bear the corresponding consequences.

What happened in the past was complicated.

Since the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe played the banner of "respecting the king", attacked Shanrong in the north, attacked Chu in the south, and became the first overlord of the Central Plains, the Chu State was naturally still very tenacious, but the Hu people in the north had already been disabled.

Therefore, the threat of the crippled Hu people to the Chinese cultural circle is no longer so great, and the countries naturally do not care so much.

The Jin State became the overlord of the Central Plains during the reign of Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty, and also played the banner of "respecting the king and conquering the country", and was committed to dealing with only the Chu State that dared to "win the weight".

As for the northern Hu people?

The nobles of northern Xinjiang were encouraged to go all the way to trouble and bleed the Hu people from time to time, and the central team of the Jin State thought that this was enough.

Of course, before Lu Wu set out on the expedition, he also sent someone to inform the old backer Wei clan.

And the other nominal nobleman, the Zhao family, their suzerain is in the old Lu family.

Lü Wu set up the meeting place in "Kei".

It is located to the west of "Huo", and the northwest side is Jiaogang.

At present, the new army of the Jin State is stationed in Jiaogang, forming a corner with the garrisons of "Lou" and "Qu" to guard against the possible re-invasion of the Qin State.

In other words, the Jin State moved the defensive front in the direction of the Qin State, and no longer used Huocheng as a defensive town.

Lü Wu brought five chariots, five hundred warriors, and a thousand subjects and slaves.

"Zhao Meng wants to go ......" Han Wuji "snorted" twice unhappily, and said very helplessly: "I'll go too." ”

Zhao Wu looked at Han Wuji, who was a little unhappy, and it took a second or two before he reacted and said, "I, I...... Not going. ”

Qi Wen immediately said: "If the Lord wants to go, he will go!" As he spoke, the person watching was Han Wuji.

And Han Wuji immediately became very embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice, "That's it." ”

The Zhao clan is now very weak, so the dignified Zhao clan suzerain can only gather three chariots and five hundred warriors, and the subjects and slaves need to be mobilized from the Zhao land.

Zhao Di had been officially taken over by Zhao Wu, but he did not go back immediately, but only sent his retainers to manage it.

Han Wuji was very broad, and easily pulled out twelve chariots and seven hundred warriors, and the subjects and slaves accompanying the army naturally had to be transferred from the fiefdom.

He found Lu Wu and said, "I'll wait for the past, why don't you invite Wei?" ”

Lu Wu felt that it made sense and replied, "Good! ”

Wei sent someone to inform him that he would bring ten chariots and seven hundred warriors, as well as two thousand slaves.

The surrounding nobles also sent people to inform Lu Wu how many troops and accompanying personnel he would bring.

As a result, Lu Wu calculated that he only went to the northern Hu people to carry out robbery activities, but a total of seventeen nobles came, the number of soldiers exceeded 4,000, and the number of soldiers was nearly 10,000.

On such a scale, a war of annihilation can be fought against some small countries.

For example, the vassal Xiao Yi State of the Jin State, they can gather at most 2,000 soldiers who can fight field battles, and in addition to the large number of chariots, the national armed forces are not as many as the seventeen Jin nobles who can casually put together.

And this, in fact, is a manifestation of the strength of the hegemon.

In terms of troop composition, Lu Wu's troops are not dominant, especially the descendants of the Han family and the Wei family.

Lu Wu didn't care, he didn't plan to be the leader of the nobles, as long as he could initiate this event, it would be enough.

They completed their assembly in the place of "Kei".

According to the ancient custom, the oath was sworn by procedure, and the leader was elected.

Although Han Wuji is disabled, his father is Qing, and the Han family has not announced the matter of humbly giving up the identity of the heir.

So, he was elected without any doubt.

What is more embarrassing is that Han Wuji has never studied military affairs at all, he chose Wei Jiang and Zhao Wu as his deputies, and asked Lu Wu to play the role of "lieutenant (coordination officer)".

In other words, Lu Wu became the fourth person in this patchwork arm.

Those above him, Han Wuji and Zhao Wu belong to relying on the advantage of blood, and Wei Jiang has real materials but can't fight Han Wuji.

The rest of the nobles, the reason why they chose to participate in this event, most of them still wanted to find out what their neighbors wanted to do, but they didn't expect that the lineage of the Han family and the Wei family would participate, and they all felt that they had earned it.

Their ideas are realistic.

In this era of fighting for bloodlines at every turn, all opportunities rely on the gifts of the superiors.

If you can perform well this time and be looked at, and be taken care of a little in the future, won't you usher in an upward channel?

Even if you don't get a look, it's good to be familiar.

It is even said that with the experience of going on an expedition with the Han family and the Wei family this time, it is also a kind of Zhengzhi capital to show off.

Lü Wu counted the troops brought by the nobles, most of them were Han Wuji and Wei Jiang, and the few brought at least eighty warriors.

Among them, the armor ......, that is, the samurai wearing metal armor, if you don't count the old Lu family, the number is only sixty.

There are so many family samurai, but the armor is only sixty, and the proportion is simply miserable, but it is the norm nowadays.

Lü Wu brought 500 warriors, but the metal armor that was temporarily lent out reached 100, which was equivalent to more than the total number of noble armorers.

Of course, the armor of other families is the mainstream bronze armor at this stage.

The armor of the old Lu family uses iron armor, which is still different from the Chinese aesthetic style in terms of shape.

Among the 100 pieces of iron armor, forty sets of cuirasses were built and accumulated before, and sixty sets of new styles were created later.

Lu Wu experimented and studied again and again, and in order to increase more defense than the cuirass, he could only choose the fast one instead of the right one, and made a change in thinking.

A wide and long iron plate was created, which was then made into a concave shape, layered on top of each other, and finally made with leather and other materials, and made into a style of ring armor.

Lu Wu will choose the style of ring armor, or it is relatively simple to build, it is clear that the defense is not as good as chain mail and scale armor, and it is not as comfortable to wear as the cuirass.

The samurai carrying the iron armor has not yet appeared, and the nobles naturally do not know that the old Lu family still has this strength.

After they arrived at the "Kei", they reported to the garrison on the Jiaogang side, and without unnecessary delay, they drove directly north the day after the rendezvous.

After they left, the new army pounced on the people sent by Zhao Zhan, divided their men to chase them to the north, and also sent people back to make a report.

Lu Wu had a plan, waiting to leave the territory of the Jin Kingdom and enter the hunting area, he first suggested to Han Wuji that the team should disperse and attack, and every once in a while, or encounter the army of Rong people, and then close together.

Lu Wu's starting point is very practical.

This time they came here to raid, and while the Rong people were not aware of anything, they had the opportunity to achieve as many results as possible.

The Di and Rong people usually live separately, and only when they are summoned or attacked will they gather.

After the last sweep of the Wei clan, not only did Bai Di's side suffer heavy losses, but Da Rong also did not suffer much better.

It is obviously most appropriate to use a large group of about 1,000 soldiers as a brigade, or several separate teams with a large number of troops, and a team with few troops.

Han Wuji really doesn't understand military affairs.

Wei Jiang felt that it made too much sense when he heard it.

The young Zhao Wu had no right to speak.

Lü Wu's opinion, with the support of Wei Jiang, was adopted.
