350 King Wu reckoned
The Da Yue side was elated, and there may still be some happy troubles, but Wu Guoke was miserable, and the whole country was gloomy.
Of course, it is the court and the major families that are bleak, and they have little to do with the ordinary people.
After all, Wu was the invading party, and even if it was unsuccessful, its impact on the local people would be very limited.
But this is not a compliment, it is in response to that sentence, prosperity, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, and the people are confused, they can only deal with it.
The family is miserable, and it is tragic that it has lost a lot of young generations.
Those so-called Wu border troops who were cut melons and vegetables by the Xuanwu City City Guards were mixed with many children of the family, some of them were gilded, and some simply came to see it.
As a result, one was careless, and he was plated into it, and his insight went in.
The court is miserable, tragic in the loss of a major general.
This Pan Yang, who was hacked to death by Lu Yi, may not be a big man, but his father is not an ordinary person.
Pan Yang's father is General Pan Long, and his status is similar to that of General Zhang of Dayue, and he is even slightly higher.
This person controls most of the military power of the Wu State in his hands, and he is a real Optimus Jade Pillar-like figure.
And the most important point is that this is a staunch royalist faction, and he has made great efforts in the succession of King Xinwu, and has made great contributions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he and King Xinwu wear the same pants.
It is said that Pan Yang is dead, and the major families have also suffered many losses, in this case, revenge on Yue Guo is just a matter of General Pan's words, and King Wu must have nothing to say.
But the general is worthy of being a general, and what he thinks about is not a family affair at all.
In the court, General Pan overrode public opinion, saying that the border army was newly defeated, and it was not suitable to fight again for the time being, and that it was necessary to regroup, accumulate strength, and wait for the time to be ripe before retaliating fiercely.
General Pan said that he was old enough to seek the country, and he had a deep hatred with the Yue country, and under the same hatred of the enemy, no one objected to what he said.
Besides, only by withdrawing the fist can you fight harder, which is a truth that everyone understands.
…………
In order to take care of General Pan's mood, King Wu has been silent these days, sighing from time to time, looking quite sad, but after thinking about it carefully, he has benefited the most.
At the beginning, King Wu and General Pan decided to kill two birds with one stone.
Sending border troops to harass Xuanwu City can not only interfere with its autumn harvest, but also increase the hatred between Wu and Yue by taking advantage of the "accidental" death of the children of the family, and also increase the hatred between Wu and Yue.
The facts are even better than expected, and if this arrow goes down, even if you can't tell how many eagles have been shot, let's not talk about whether you train or not, the military resources alone have been pulled a lot in the past few days.
Those families who died of their juniors contributed money and efforts one by one, screaming for revenge, and the amount of money was huge enough to support a big war.
Of course, the major families are not stupid, and at the beginning, no one suspected that King Wu was conspiring with Pan Long, the general who supported him.
But this time, even Pan Yang died on the battlefield, if it is a bitter meat plan, no, it is absolutely impossible to be a bitter meat plan, or it is too bitter.
…………
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and the same days fly by, and it is a month in a blink of an eye.
These days, Lu Zhi has been supervising the work of the Ordnance Bureau, and a large number of arrows are formed every day, and then they are transported to the warehouse designated by the Ministry of Industry for storage.
There are no more arrows.
You think, even if there are 10,000 archers, each with 10,000 arrows, that's 100,000 arrows.
The point is, how long does it take to shoot ten arrows?
Just as the archers are all handicapped and the rate of fire is super slow, how can these ten arrows be shot in one stick of incense (5 minutes) in time, right? Is it just a war that lasts for a while? It's impossible.
So the arrow cluster is this thing, that is Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier.
It was also the first time for Lu Zhi to take control of such a big project, and to be honest, it was really shocking.
He had never been able to understand why the imperial court wanted to confiscate the iron and bronze tools of the people.
This time I completely understood, no matter how much metal there is, it is not enough!
In this month's time, it took a huge amount of bronze just to cast the arrow clusters, not to mention the need to build even more metal-intensive long knives, spears, and shields in the future......
No wonder some people say that fighting a war is about making money, this is a fucking bottomless pit!
…………
Households.
Lu Zhi thought about it for several days, and after struggling for several days, he still came.
"Whom should you look for?" When he arrived at the door, Lu Zhi was in a difficult situation, what he wanted to do was not big, not small, how big a official did he have to find to do it?
"It's all here, then find someone who counts." Lu Zhi put on the posture of a son, took four square steps, and threatened to find the head of the household as soon as he came up.
"Master Shangshu, how can you just see you when you say it...... Hey, hey, please. ”
The doorkeeper of the household department was very eye-catching, and when he looked at Lu Zhi's waist, his attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
Ordinary people naturally can't see Ma Shangshu, but when they come to Lu Zhi, they really say that they will see it.
With the two tokens on his waist, the entire household is not to mention walking sideways, and if you want to see any adult, a report can always be exchanged.
These two tokens, one was given by Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the other was given by Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the weight was very sufficient.
"Childe doesn't know what to call him?" The gatekeeper nodded his head, and there was no momentum at all in the public gate.
Speaking of which, even the concierge of the Lu family is stronger than him, but this is the ability of others, he relies on being able to eat softly and hard.
Lu Zhi arched his hand, "Under the fourth son of the Lu family, Lu Zhi." ”
"Oh, it turns out that you are Lu Zhigongzi, you have admired the name for a long time, you have really admired the name for a long time!" The gatekeeper didn't know if he really knew or not, but anyway, these sloppy words were very mellow.
"Lu Zhigongzi sit down for a while, and wait for me to report."
"Hmm." Lu Zhi and the other gatekeepers left and specially tasted the hospitality tea of the household department.
To be honest, it's not a good tea, and you're welcome, with this level of tea, leather monkeys may not be able to look at it.
"Hey, it's not delicious and can't be wasted!" When Leng Buding heard this, the frightened Lu Zhi directly rinsed his mouth and swallowed the tea that he wanted to spit out into the flower pot.
"Ahem, Master Shangshu, ahem, you're going to choke me to death!"
Since the regeneration of rice was made, Ma Shangshu admired Lu Zhi very much, "Although tea is not good tea, it can't be wasted, right?" ”
"Yes, Lord Shangshu taught me." Lu Zhiyi raised his head and simply drank the remaining half cup of tea, "It's really annoying Lord Shangshu, and I came over in person......"
"Hey~~~" Ma Shangshu waved his hand, "I didn't come to see you on purpose, it just happened." ”
This is not true, it is really a coincidence, otherwise even if he appreciates Lu Zhi again, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing (active).
