Lü Wu never gave up his preparations for war.

This kind of preparation is not to mobilize troops to the highest state at all times, but in fact to study better equipment, and then pick out the appropriate types of equipment for production, and store them in case of emergency.

Lao Lu's family has coal mines and iron mines.

It's just that due to many factors, iron production has not been able to rise.

In addition, even if you master the iron-smelting technology, and even study the primary steel, it is really not equal to stability, and the scrap rate is still a little high.

Lv Wu studied "wire drawing" some time ago, and wasted a lot of energy, but he still did not study the metal "wire drawing" technology.

He borrowed from the technical ...... of the Qin State, not the current Qin State, but the Qin State during the period when the First Emperor ruled the world, engaged in assembly line production specifications, and also copied the mold casting method.

At this time, the mold was called "Fan", and it was thought about and invented very early.

Of course, the molds are all made of mud.

Lu Wu used the original technical foundation and found that the metal burrs and potholes cast were a bit outrageous, and planned to study the mold of lead materials.

Everything started from scratch, and he is not a professional, but he only knows some common sense and principles.

He can only write out the general theory, and while he slowly studies and experiments by himself, he leaves it more to professionals to ponder.

Engaging in metal wire drawing is naturally to make chain mail, and he knows that once the metal wire drawing is successfully studied, it will also change the world.

The monarch issued a conscription again, and everything in the Lao Lu family must revolve around the premise of going out on the expedition.

Last time, Lü Wu went out with five hundred samurai.

These samurai have completed their "endowment" for this year, and the cost of going out again will have to be paid by the lord.

And the lord must be looking for reimbursement from the monarch.

Under normal circumstances, the monarch would definitely have to reimburse the lord.

There are "normal circumstances" and there must be "outside the circumstances", and it is not uncommon for the kings of many countries to promise the nobles but repent.

Lu Wu was preparing for the expedition, and the matter of learning was naturally suspended.

On this day, Shi Kuang, under the guidance of his retainers, asked to meet with Lu Wu, who was preparing for the expedition.

Of course, he couldn't see Lu Wu, and when he heard the greeting, he could judge where Lu Wu was, and after saluting, he said: "Wenyin Wuzi was summoned by the king, I don't know if I can go with you?" ”

Lu Wu very much did not understand what a blind man was doing on the battlefield.

Shi Kuang is blind, and if he had a brother, he would definitely not be able to inherit the family business, and at the same time, he would not have the opportunity to fulfill the obligation of paying tribute.

In this era, the nobles who can't fight are less valuable than the "shi" class, and if you don't have special skills, you need to pray that you will become a little transparent that no one has forgotten.

Naturally, being forgotten also means that it is impossible to get ahead, and there is a possibility of being knocked out of the dust at any time.

Lu Wu felt that he was not familiar with Shi Kuang, and was surprised how Shi Kuang would come to make such a request to him.

"Yes." He felt that the current war was still about etiquette, so he agreed without much psychological burden, and asked: "When you set out, you must tell your feet." ”

After the teacher bowed, he left satisfied.

The old Lu family is preparing for the expedition.

In fact, it was Lu Wu who selected the warriors and subjects and prepared the corresponding materials.

The samurai who have already accepted the "Fu", they are not on the list of expeditions.

Lü Wu would bring 700 warriors and 1,400 subjects with him this time.

These samurai, who had not yet completed the "endowment", still needed to prepare their own weapons and armor, and bring a sufficient amount of food and other daily necessities.

Few of the subjects had their own weapons, and their occupation consisted of cultivating the land and doing all kinds of work.

Lü Wu prepared 180 sets of metal armor, mainly cuirass and ring armor.

He also brought with him three hundred sets of leather armor, two thousand five hundred poles, one hundred and eighty bows, ten thousand arrows, fifty swords, two thousand five hundred axes, two thousand javelins, and other bits and pieces, all two hundred and sixty carts.

"Bin, after I leave, one thousand hundred and eight 'disciples' and two thousand 'envy', such as the arrangement." Lu Wu was already standing on the carriage, and he bowed to Song Bin very cautiously, and said, "Please!" ”

Song Bin returned the salute and replied, "I will live up to the trust of the Lord!" ”

Lu Wu looked at the rest of the retainers and samurai representatives, saluted them, and said, "Family affairs, please!" ”

A group of retainers returned the salute and shouted in unison: "Martial arts will last forever!" ”

The road was lined with subjects, and of course they were the ones who were going to send them on the march.

Before leaving the house, the old grandmother and several ladies had already sent Lu Wu away, so naturally they would not appear here.

Lu Wu motioned for Qing to drive the chariot and slowly passed through the Thorn Gate.

Once the troops have passed through the Thorn Gate, it means that they have entered the state of service, and everything must be carried out in accordance with the military system.

The troops need to make a detour, the same is to cross the river from "Kundu".

After entering the land of "Huo", Lü Wu's team completed the rendezvous with the three dependent noble teams that had been waiting for him.

Huo Qian, Yu Shi, and Pinnacle are their names.

Forming a group, they continued to march in the direction of "Jiaogang".

Yushiki and Pinnacle were both minor nobles, with the former carrying only three chariots and fifty samurai, while the latter brought two chariots and seventy samurai.

They'll definitely bring their own auxiliaries and supplies with them.

Huo Qian brought 800 warriors and 600 subjects, and the supplies were as short as last time.

The fact that there are more soldiers than auxiliaries is already telling.

It represents that the old Huo family is in an abnormal state.

Lu Wu had already learned about the situation from Huo Qian.

The fief of the old Huo family is in the area east of the middle position of "Qu" and "E", no more than fifty miles away from the river.

If there is a map, it can be found that Lao Huo's family is very close to the territory of Qin and Bai Zhai's territory, and it is still in a wetland geographical location.

Under such a geographical environment, not to mention the technology of the Spring and Autumn Period, even in modern times, it is not a suitable place for farming.

There are very few farmers in the old Huo family, but there are a surplus of hunters, and even those who know how to herd cattle are more than those who know how to farm.

According to Huo Qian's own account, they would often clash with Bai Zhai, of course, because they wanted to grab the pasture, which led to the number of warriors being sufficient.

Of course, the number of armed personnel of the old Huo family is definitely less than that of the subjects, and the people brought out by Huo Qian are not all samurai, which can be regarded as a kind of temporary temporary armed force.

Lu Wu understands very well.

Located on the frontier, the neighbors are either Qin or Hu, and the weak force will be finished soon.

It took them nearly 12 days to arrive at "Jiaogang", and they found that they were the same group that had arrived earlier.

In addition to the "Shang Army" that was stationed in rotation before, the "Shang Army" and the "Chinese Army" have also come part.

The "Upper Army" of the three corps was stationed in and around Jiaogang City, and the other "Middle Army" and "Lower Army" were stationed in the north and south of Jiaogang, about seven or eight miles away.

Lü Wu was in the "Lower Army" sequence, and he must have joined the rest of the "Lower Army" and stationed in the same area together.

He inquired about the news, and the commanders of the three legions had already arrived, but the generals of the "middle army" and the "lower army" had not yet arrived.

In this case, of course, it is the military assistant who is in charge of the affairs of the "middle army" and the "lower army".

Lü Wu was inspected and led the team into the camp, but when he began to set up camp, he was summoned by Zhigang.

"This time, you are under the command of Sliding 'Shuai'." Zhifu buried his head in the paper, and continued to say without raising his head: "The soldiers of the first brigade can be enriched? ”

In other words, Cheng Hua has been upgraded to become a "handsome" of a "division"?

Lu Wu was also not polite, named the names of several nobles, and asked Zhi Gang to transfer them into his command.

This matter can be managed by wisdom, but it should not be up to him to carry out the actual operation.

It's very simple, of course, a mayor can manage the affairs of the city, but officials at all levels have their own scope of responsibility, and the mayor can manage it does not mean that he needs to meddle in everything, otherwise what do people at all levels do?

The mayor can do something in one sentence, so why do it himself!

Lu Wu is just doing something similar to going through the back door, and if he really goes to operate, it will definitely be a "green light all the way", and he will not be stopped and troubled.

This is also based on the premise that Zhigang has already asked.

They talked about some things again, but they were all things that were nothing special, which made Lu Wu feel a little confused when he left the Zhigang tent.

The old man is wise, he didn't ask for anything, he wanted benefits, it seemed very abnormal!

Lü Wu returned to his garrison and saw Wei Xiang and Wei Jiang.

These two seem to have been waiting for a while?

"Wu." Wei Jiang was very happy when he saw Lu Wu, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Wei Xiang only had a smile on his face and did not speak.

Wei is in the "Chinese Army" sequence.

This time, it was Linghu who led the troops.

This Linghu has been different, because the fief is in Linghu, and it is called Linghu's.

Of course, like the rest of the big families, although Ling Fox is different, he is still close to the Wei family, and he can also represent the Wei family.

Because the Wei family is not a "Qing" relationship, there is naturally no need to let Lu Wu go over to their side.

Can nobles serve back and forth in several legions?

Definitely yes.

It's just that the aristocracy doesn't do that.

After all, a legion that has been in the army for a long time and has established friendships with colleagues is not a last resort who wants to change the social environment from time to time and go to an unfamiliar environment that no one knows.

Wei Jiang and Wei Xiang came to say hello to Lu Wu, knowing that Shi Kuang was also there, they left Lu Wu, who was very busy, and ran to find Shi Kuang.

Before, Lu Wu Nafu didn't know anyone for the first time, but he had a foundation of connections for the second time.

Although he is leading troops out to fight, every nobleman will definitely find someone to visit as long as he has the opportunity.

Lu Wu already knew that he was under the command of Cheng Hua, and he would definitely have to go over in person.

I saw the old boss, and the old boss looked very busy.

"Wu?" Cheng Hua saw Lu Wu, who had a wooden face, showed a smile that looked a little stiff, and asked, "Can the brigade be full?" ”

The reason why the smile was stiff was not for other reasons, but the usual expression on his face was not rich, and he was not used to laughing.

was a big guy and asked Lu Wu about the formation of the army, and he really felt the pressure.

He thought to himself, "Why does anyone think that Qin Jun will deliberately target me?" ”

The Jin State dispatched three legions, and he Lu Wu was only one of the brigade commanders.

The Qin State deliberately targeted?

It should be ......, right?
