In a hidden mountainous area of Wuyue, Lu Xiaoyu carried a talisman given by King Wuyue, and Jing Yangde, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army and the elder brother of King Wu Yue, who was also a relative of the Southern Chu royal family, led a few accompanying infantry to guide the way in front and shuttled between the primeval jungles of Wuyue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Han Xin naturally followed him to protect Lu Xiaoyu's safety.

Lu Xiaoyu himself could not ride a horse, before he traveled between the Qiantang Palace, the salt field and the currency field to take a carriage, he often couldn't stand the ancient bumpy dirt road and motion sickness, so that later he directly suggested to King Wu Yue that he should transfer the cement he invented from Guangling to build a cement road. However, the mountainous conditions of Wu Yue are not enough, and he can't directly open the mountain to build roads, so he can only bite the bullet and ride on the horse tremblingly, and the road is still very bumpy, and he feels that his lower body is no longer his own.

Jing Yangde rode a horse in front to lead the way, and when he saw that Lu Xiaoyu and Han Xin had not arrived for a long time, he turned around and saw that Lu Xiaoyu was lying on the back of the horse and panting tiredly, and said gloatingly: "Hahaha, Su asked Xiaoyu, you are very intelligent and capable, why did this horse ride make you uncomfortable." ”

When Jingyangde didn't find out, Lu Xiaoyu had already vomited twice, this horse was still a beast and couldn't understand human nature, so he shook Lu Xiaoyu on his back, fortunately, Lu Xiaoyu still had a physical foundation, otherwise he would have been thrown off the horse many times. It's just that compared to these ancient ancients who were used to riding horses, Lu Xiaoyu was naturally far behind.

Lu Xiaoyu replied with a bitter face: "Uncle, don't make fun of me, Xiaoyu is from the uncivilized mountainous area of Henan, and he has never ridden a horse since he was a child. ”

After hearing this, Jing Yangde laughed again, seeing that Lu Xiaoyu was the son-in-law of King Wu Yue, and he was a rare genius in Southern Chu recommended by him, he put down the shelf, and also dismounted to accompany Lu Xiaoyu to complete the last section of the mountain road.

Lu Xiaoyu wiped his sweat profusely while asking Jingyangde about the military system of Southern Chu. He is a layman who knows nothing about any of these things, and now that he wants to take over this army, he naturally knows some of the most basic common sense.

This Jingyangde is also a rare loyal and honest person among the royal nobles of Southern Chu, and he does not attach great importance to the royal power and nobles, which is also the reason why King Wuyue relieved that this Flying Tiger Army was put in charge of Jingyangde before. Now that Lu Xiaoyu is taking charge of this army with a talisman, Jing Yangde is happy, he can reduce the burden and enjoy the glory and wealth, and he doesn't have to come to this kind of ghost place where birds don't often. So what Lu Xiaoyu is, he also told Lu Xiaoyu all without reservation.

From his mouth, Lu Xiaoyu learned that the most basic army establishment of Southern Chu, the arms of the Chu army, according to their subordination and military functions, there are two divisions. According to the affiliation, it can be divided into the main army, the king's pawn, the private pawn, and the county division.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the children of the Chu royal clan and the great nobles had their own arms on the food estates they feuded, and these weapons did not belong to the state establishment, so they were called "private pawns". The nobles set out in the form of private servants obeying the orders of the king of Chu as a gift to the king of Chu. Most of the private soldiers were the children of their respective clans.

This King Wu Yue has long had the intention of rebellion, but what he is clever about is that when he has not accumulated a certain strength, he still pretends to support Emperor Xuanhe on the surface, even if some other fiefdoms have seen the decline of Southern Chu, and some of them have begun to slowly fall under the control of Emperor Xuanhe. In order to reflect the geographical importance of the Wuyue region, the king of Wuyue made several requests to the Xuanhe Emperor and raised a lot of soldiers as his own armed forces, in the name of guarding the security of the southeastern region of Southern Chu from the invasion of the northern Yi people. Emperor Xuanhe thought that his imperial brother was loyal, so he approved it every time, and such a clan army with most of his personal soldiers being the aristocratic forces of King Wuyue slowly grew.

The Flying Tiger Army that Lu Xiaoyu took over this time was mainly a chariot soldier, with a hundred people as a ride, managing a large chariot. Although listening to Jing Yangde's tone, he didn't know about King Wu Yue's ambition to usurp the throne, but with King Wu Yue's status in the hearts of the people of Wu Yue and these nobles of the same line, it was ten times stronger than the mediocre and incompetent Emperor Xuanhe. So when the time comes, if King Wu Yue really ascends to the heights, Wu Yue will inevitably respond, and maybe the princely forces in other places in Southern Chu will also stand up to support King Wu Yue, so it is not Emperor Xuanhe who is unlucky, but those people who eat melons who do not know the truth.

At this time, Lu Xiaoyu remembered a song by Zhang Yanghao of the Yuan Dynasty, "Xing, the people are bitter." Death, the people suffer. 'When the dynasty fell, wars were frequent, and the people were struggling to survive. When the dynasty is prosperous, it will build a lot of buildings, loot the people's fat and ointment, and the people will not be able to bear the suffering. Like when the Qin Dynasty rose, the Great Wall was built, the road was opened, the official office was built, the labor was heavy, and the people suffered a lot. If it is prosperous, it will be built in a big way, and if it is dead, it will be connected with military disasters, and it is the people who suffer regardless of whether they are "prosperous" or "dead".

Han Xin looked at Lu Xiaoyu deep in thought, and gradually became heavy, and asked with concern: "Big brother is okay, are you still feeling uncomfortable, or I will carry you away." ”

"I'm fine, but I'm a little sad when I think of some things that worry about the country and the people, forget it, this is not something that we people should consider, let's keep going, it should be almost there."

"Nephew Xiaoyuxian, we've arrived." Jing Yangde pointed to an empty flat land in the middle of a mountainous area and said.

Lu Xiaoyu looked left and right, except for a large point general platform, he didn't see the shadow of half a soldier, and asked embarrassedly: "Uncle, is this ...... Where are the soldiers? ”

Jing Yangde looked at Lu Xiaoyu's embarrassed expression, it seemed that he had just intended to flirt, and he didn't have the slightest attitude of being a commander, no wonder he was so happy to hand over the army to Lu Xiaoyu to manage. He said triumphantly: "Virtuous nephew, you didn't notice it, on weekdays, King Wu Yue ordered in order to exercise the soldiers' ability to fight ambushes, you must know that ambush is a kind of military art that our Chu people are used to, and they can win." Therefore, except for training, the soldiers spent the rest of the time hidden in the mountains, and could not be detected at all. ”

Lu Xiaoyu was shocked, he didn't expect King Wu Yue to train soldiers so well. Although Lu Xiaoyu himself didn't dare to call himself a detective who was observant like Conan, he also had a pilot vision of 2.0, but he didn't notice any abnormalities around him.

Lu Xiaoyu slowly approached the bushes around the flat ground, and Han Xin was guarding beside him, for fear that someone around him would be unfavorable to him.

Suddenly, I saw that in the bushes, a little cold light arrived first, and then the gun came out like a dragon, and I saw that a spear was about to pierce Lu Xiaoyu's heart. Han Xin's eyes were clear, and when he saw a glimmer of cold light, he had already pulled out his sword with his right hand and cut off the spear. With his left hand pulling out along the severed barrel of the gun, a soldier wearing a tree branch as cover was pulled out with a grunt, rolled on the ground a few times, and was pressed to the ground by Han Xin and couldn't move.

The whole process was lightning fast, not only did Lu Xiaoyu not react to what had just happened. Even Jing Yangde, who was still talking and laughing just now, was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.
