Chapter 498: Continued Fermentation

This is a very strange war.

In the current normal war, it is usually a place to agree on, and both sides will take their troops to go there, and they will start fighting directly when they meet. Both sides will recognize the winner and loser, and then go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.

Planting can be done in spring and summer, and summer is also the season for harvesting certain crops.

Didn’t Lu Wu lead his army to station in the fief of the Wei family?

He asked Wei Qi to discuss with the auxiliary soldiers in the army to help Wei's work. Can Wei's family draw some labor force to the Yin family to help and do such mutually beneficial things?

"Can you do this?" Wei Qi often didn't understand Lu Wu's brain circuit and replied hesitantly: "Yes."

What if I can't do it?

It is impossible to withdraw troops, and labor wasting is also a waste. It is good to play "adapt to local conditions" at the first step.

Wei Qi asked, "The army is stationed here. If the Qin army does not advance, will it remain like this year?"

Lu Wu said: "The conscript has not been overdue, and morale can be guaranteed and there is no obstacle to the war. If it may delay the farming season, the Qin State's losses are more important than you and me. It is clear at a glance which one is more important than what is more important."

The Qin State gathered much more people than the Yin and Wei families, and they gathered from all directions to the front line.

They came for war, and most of them were far west.

Lu Wu invaded for four consecutive years, and it has actually destroyed the surrounding area of ​​"Yong".

The soldiers of the Qin people who came from afar could not participate in labor, and the people of each family had no obligation to help the nobles near "Yong".

Qin Jun Ying Shi was able to order Qin nobles to dispatch labor, but what he could do was not to help everyone with "great love and selflessness", but to order them to cultivate farmland that belonged to the monarch.

The above point, even if Qin does not pay attention to the rules, Qin Jun Ying Shi still has to abide by it.

Wei Qi came to "Liyang" not entirely because he paid attention to the development of the war, but was considered part of the regular inspection of the fiefdom.

He would ask some things he should ask, but if he did not interfere with Lu Wu's command, he would soon leave "Liyang" and go to another place.

Because of the relationship between the army stationed in "Liyang", and because the transportation is much more convenient than that of "Ganquan", many nobles came to visit Lu Wu in turn.

Of course, they did not dare to interfere with how the Yin and Wei clans wanted to fight the war. Most of them just came to greet them, while a few asked if they wanted to mobilize troops to obey the orders.

If there are the most active members of the nobles of Jin State? It is undoubtedly Jie Shuo.

"If the above army generals have what they need, Jie will do everything!" Jie Shuo said that he was called "falling to the ground and making a sound."

Lu Wu smiled and said, "Everyone thought I was unsure of defeating Qin, so I stopped moving forward. But I regarded the Qin army as a dry bone in the tomb."

Jie Shuo was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated and said, "I have assembled three 'brigades' and can come to serve the generals at any time."

Whether the Yin family and Wei family can defeat the Qin army is the same thing, and whether the Jie family wants to express their opinions is another thing.

There may be a timely help in it, but more importantly, once the Yin and Wei family decline, the Jie family will not have a "protective umbrella" will not end well.

Lu Wu was of course satisfied with Jie Shuo's statement, and it was not necessary for Jie's army to come.

It’s not that he thinks the army under his command is enough.

It is inappropriate to accept only the good intention of a family, and it will inevitably harm the rest of the family; accepting assistance repeatedly will indirectly prove that the chances of winning are not high, which will lead to some people's thoughts that they should not have.

So, Lu Wu simply refused anyone.

Jie Shuo, who was rejected, no longer forced him and asked, "Wei, Cao Bumu, what should I do?"

When he was the Minister, he had the right to diplomatic relations with the various countries, and the relationship between Wei and Cao became tense, involving Jieshi.

Lu Wu understood the deep test of Shuo and said, "It is well known to everyone that the emperor intends to add the position of nobles. Whether it can be accomplished is not in the country, who is in Chu, and in the countries."

To put it bluntly, if Jin State has only six noble positions, can it withstand external pressure? Once it seems powerless, it will definitely need to add the noble positions to ensure the number of legions that can be dispatched.

Jie Shuo once served as the position of a nobleman, and accepted the fact that he had lost the position of a nobleman in order to protect himself. It would be absolutely false to say that he did not want to regain the position of a nobleman.

In Lu Wu's view, it is a matter of time before Jin State restored the eight ministers system. Only the central army, the upper army and the lower army are not enough to deal with the needs of the war.

Whoever gets the position of nobles does not depend on the monarch or the wishes of the current six "Qing". It is true that they have the right to speak, but it also depends on whether the families they want to support have the corresponding strength base.

After all, the consequences of forced promotion have been shown that whoever takes up the position of Qing has no corresponding strength, and it has become a good thing to take advantage of "qing".

If it weren't like that, the matter of reducing the position of Qing would not be so simple. The families who want to be removed from the position of Qing have enough strength and will use force to resist to maintain their status. How could they obediently submit?

Jie Shuo left, not going to "Xintian" and returning to the fiefdom in Hexi.

He did not disband the three "brigades" that gathered together, and he insisted that if the Yin and Wei expeditions in the west were unfavorable, he would immediately lead his troops to support him.

Jie did something else.

When Jie Shuo went to see Lu Wu, he brought a batch of food and grass. He wanted to send troops to support him but failed. He prepared materials again and ordered people to send them to "Liyang" to provide Lu Wu's call.

When the other families learned about Jie's actions, one person had a view. Most people thought that Jie Shuo was licking too clearly, and they were both contempt and envious.

There will be that kind of contradictory mentality, mainly because those who want to learn to learn to understand are not allowed.

Not everyone is qualified to curry favor with "Qing". It depends on whether the friendship is at the same level.

Under Lu Wu's close attention, the Qin army stationed in "Qi" retreated again.

The first time he received the news, he sent cavalry troops to cruise under the eyes of the Qin army.

The last time the Yin family cavalry appeared, the Qin army stopped retreating.

This time the Yin family cavalry came again, and the Qin army did not stop and retreat.

Lu Wu summoned everyone with the right to speak and asked, "What is the purpose of this move by the Qin people?"

Pu Yuan said: "The Qin army's request for war was fruitless, and the food and fodder consumed a lot, so it must be difficult to bear the logistics. I don't want to fight again this year."

The others also expressed similar opinions.

Lu Wu felt that things were not that simple. After listening to their opinions, he said, "I want to advance and force the Qin army to retreat. This time, the Qin army did not come to fight, and they were all stationed at..."

The matter is explained in detail.

Anyway, no matter whether they fight or not, Lu Wu will drive the army into the vicinity of "Xianyang (there is no name at the moment)" and stop and build a camp.

The people who can speak in Yin and Wei have been completely numb by Lu Wu, and they don’t understand what Lu Wu wants to do, and just give up thinking and do things obediently.

Before Lu Wu led his army to set off, news from "Wuyang" was passed on.

The Qin army surrounding "Wuyang" was siege after more than three months of eyeing it.
