Chapter 75: Illness should be avoided
If judged by region, the Jin Kingdom is actually in modern Shanxi.
Their team completed the rendezvous in "Kei", the geographical location is at the junction of modern Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the north will enter the Luliang Mountain area.
That is to say, the Di and Rong people close to the Jin Kingdom, they did not all live in the grassland, and they were divided into two types: mountain tribes and plain tribes.
The group in the mountains is naturally entrenched in Luliang Mountain.
The ones in the plains are constantly migrating and surviving along the great river (the Yellow River).
Lu Wu: Their target this time was not those Hu people in the mountains.
After all, the area of Luliang Mountain (not called that name now) is very large.
As long as it is a mountainous area, the terrain will be very complicated, and no matter how large the area is, no one can be sure what will happen when you enter it.
If you're sick, you're going to choose a hill tribe, right?
They first walked along the periphery of Luliang Mountain.
Of course, such a route will be chosen to avoid Jiaogang, so as not to be pulled to join the garrison.
What they didn't know was that after Zhao Zhan, the general of the new army, learned that the "Ji" had assembled a group of aristocratic arms, he really sent people to look for him, and he had the plan to pull over to strengthen the garrison force of "Jiaogang".
As a new general, Zhao Zhan does have this right.
Zhao Zhan is one of Lu Wu's fathers-in-law, but he has only met once.
"To the east of here, there is Darong." Liang Qian was introducing the terrain to Lu Wu, and said: "To the west, it is 'Pu'. ”
Of course, this "Pu" is not the place of the Jinjing Convention and the Wu State Alliance.
In fact, during the Spring and Autumn period, there were quite a few repetitions of place names, with the same name, but one in the north and the other in the far south.
The "Pu" mentioned by Liang Zhu is the name of an abandoned city in a large plain.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no very clear boundary between the borders of the nations, and only by building cities could sovereignty be clearly demonstrated.
It is equivalent to saying that if a city is built in a certain place, even if the city is small, how many miles in front of the city, and then draw a line and pull it back, it can be said that the territory belongs to a certain country.
In recent years, the Jin State has concentrated its forces on fighting the Chu State, and the rest of the directions are somewhat neglected, including the abandonment of many garrison points at the junction with the Qin State and the Hu people.
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Guo wanted to find a sense of existence and chose Jin Guo.
Fighting other small countries, it is inevitable that the Qin State will win, and once it loses, it will be a big loss of face.
Even if the Jin State lost its hegemony, it was once a hegemon, and then its strength was affirmed by the nations.
Once the Qin State can defeat the Jin State, its international status will definitely be improved.
Lost? There is nothing to be ashamed of when the Qin State loses to the former overlord.
Lu Wu knew the place "Pu".
The warriors he sent as far as the south bank of the Great River, knowing that "Pu" was about a hundred miles further north, and it was the place where many Di and Rong people licked their wounds.
Because the goal is clear, and the reconnaissance has been carried out beforehand, there is no unnecessary time wasted.
After they left the "Kei," it took them seven days to come to the forest area on the west side of Luliang Mountain.
That is, it is a forest about 40 miles away from the big river in the west and about 60 miles away from the "Pu" in the south.
Here, Lü Wu's proposal for detachment was implemented.
He became a team with Zhao Wu and Han Wuji.
Wei Jiang pulled seven small and medium-sized nobles to form a team of his own.
The other eight nobles, with Liang Zhu as their guide, formed a team.
Among them, Lü Wu's team had the largest number of troops, with 20 chariots and 1,700 soldiers, and more than 3,700 auxiliaries (subjects and slaves), including 178 ox carts and carriages carrying supplies.
On Wei Jiang's side, there were 17 chariots, more than 1,400 soldiers, nearly 4,000 auxiliaries, and more than 180 ox carts and carriages.
Liang Zhu's team was the least numerous, with only eleven chariots, nearly 1,000 soldiers, 1,040 auxiliaries, and more than 60 ox carts and horse-drawn carts loaded with supplies.
Before officially splitting the attack, Lü Wu asked Han Wuji to gather all the nobles.
Once again, he reiterated to the nobles the main objective of the hunt, and determined the meeting point for each period.
Wei Jiang lowered his voice and said to Han Wuji: "Wu Zhi is cautious, especially military generals. ”
Han Wuji was too cautious about Lu Wu, and he was only happy, and he didn't feel any impatience.
On the other side, Lu Wu was still explaining to the nobles.
Tell them what to expect, and if something happens and they can't get to the predetermined rendezvous point, they should retreat directly in the direction of "Kei".
Wei Jiang heard this and said to Han Wuji: "This move is also treacherous. ”
Han Wuji didn't understand military affairs, but his brain was not stupid, and he could hear what Lu Wu's arrangement was for.
There is also "Jiaogang" in front of "Ji", and the defeated nobles retreat to "Ji", and the Hu people must know that "Jiaogang" has a new army of Jin State stationed, and they dare not chase if they are not strong enough, and those who dare to chase will be stopped by the new army.
What should be explained, Lu Wu explained it in as much detail as possible.
As a result, a group of nobles who came to participate in the event, they found that they didn't need to use their brains at all, and they had a plan for what kind of response they needed to make if something happened, and if there was no accident, they would kill and rob.
The teams became three and set off separately.
The target that Lu Wu wanted to attack had already been chosen, and the first target of the attack was a Rong tribe with a population of about 1,000 people.
Han Wuji of this team has the highest status, but he knows that he doesn't understand military affairs.
Zhao Wu is too young.
Lu Wu did not occupy any position, but became the actual commander of the team.
In fact, he doesn't know much about military affairs, but he does know management.
As long as the management is done well, there are more detailed things such as retainers with the army and more experienced officers at all levels, and there is no blind command as the premise, and there will be no chaos.
Lü Wuguan only made "strategic" decisions, and "tactics" were of course for his retainers and officers to play.
It took them a day and a half to come to a basin of the plain, and out of this basin was the living area of the Rong people.
Han Wuji already knew from the scouts which target it was, and asked Lu Wu in an inquiring tone, if the troops had been on the road for so long, would they like to rest for one night before launching an attack.
"I'm afraid of being noticed." Lu Wu proposed: "Strike quickly!" ”
Qi Wen spoke on behalf of Zhao Wu and said, "Good. ”
Han Wuji has seen Lu Wu's talent recently, and Qi Wen, who has seen the old man, also agrees, he has no idea, so he will implement the decision that most people think is correct.
In fact, Lu Wu had thought about taking a break and waiting for dark before attacking.
The key thing is that he knows that because of the diet, even if people raise torches at night, they are still no different from being blind.
Therefore, the era has not developed to a certain extent, and it can generally only be seen in the deductive works.
There are really generals who fight night battles, and if they can succeed once a hundred times, they should really be written in the history books, so as to give future generations the illusion that it is easy to fight night battles.
As everyone knows, things are scarce and expensive, if you can do it casually, is there still a need for a big book?
Lu Wu did not carry out the operation and division of labor in detail, knowing that being too complicated would only make his own people stupid.
He directly let the chariot run wildly towards the Rong tribe who had not yet discovered the danger, and the infantry ran as fast as they could, and when it came to join the battle.
The Rong people were suddenly attacked, and panic was inevitable.
If you are unprepared, you will be unprepared because of the serious physical consumption of your own side, and the other party will not be prepared and disorganized, or you will take advantage of the suddenness.
As for the auxiliaries, he did some manipulation, ordering the stewards at all levels to control them to pull out of the formation and slowly approach from the left and right sides, creating a visual sense that the Rong people were surrounded.
"Yin Wuzi is a great talent!" Qi Wen said to Zhao Wu: "Lord, don't blink, what you see and hear, you need to keep it in mind. ”
Zhao Wu was looking at Lu Wu on the chariot in front of him, his little eyes were full of admiration.
