Chapter 175: The Lu family's plan, the Meng family's dilemma

Looking up at this strange brother, he felt mixed emotions. Lu Song couldn't speak for a while, so he reached out and patted Lu Wu's firm upper arm and said, "Fifth brother, okay, okay! OK!



Lin Ji also sighed.

Lu Wu said, "Brother, Uncle Lin, let's go in and talk first."

Everyone went into the hall to sit down, and Lu Chang brought tea and snacks from the maid brought by Wu State.

"Brother, now I'm in a mess and I'm in a hurry to work hard. Why don't you stay and help me?" Lu Wu said first.

He now knows that this elder brother has been developing business paths in Chu State over the years. Even if he doesn't know much about the situation in Chu State, he is at least a lot better than himself. Moreover, these days, it is not easy to find a cultural person.

Lu Song is a big businessman, and he can write and calculate the accountants and deacons. These are all talents.

Lu Song hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, he was very moved by the fifth brother's suggestion.

A real man should make achievements - as for the risks? What is there no risk? Is there no risk if you open up a business path?

However, the letter from his father to him asked him to return to Wu directly and preside over the development of the Lu family's fiefdom - this is also very important, which involves the retreat of the Lu family and the foundation of the family's inheritance. Moreover, he is the eldest son of the Lu family. In addition to Lu Wu, who earned the fiefdom, he had to do it from a legal perspective.

Seeing Lu Song hesitating, Lu Chang took the words: "Wu'er, don't make things difficult for your elder brother. Your father wrote to order your elder brother to return to Wu Kingdom and go to the south to preside over the development of the fief at his home. You can't stay here;

However, your father has made arrangements for lack of manpower here. He will ask your second brother who is traveling abroad to come home and bring enough manpower supplies to support him."

This was something Lu Jinhe had carefully advised before Lu Chang came out.

Eggs cannot be placed in a basket.

Although the fifth son Lu Wu is amazingly brave, he has a irritable and strong temperament. To be honest, it is okay to be a fighter general in this kind of temperament, but he wants to be the king of a country. Although Lu Jinhe is Lu Wu's biological father, he is not optimistic.

But Lu Wu's wings are now hard. Lu Liu and Lu Jinhe feel that unless Lu Wu falls into a big fall, he will not be able to persuade him at all, so he simply doesn't say anything, so he won't hurt the harmony between the father and son.

Lu Song is the eldest son of the family, but he has grown up after years of training outside. He is just in the south and is in charge of the development of his home territory - by the way, he stays away from the battlefield.

If Lu Wu loses, the Lu family will have a way out.

Taking a step back, Lu Wu offended the State of Chu this time. If the Lu family was hunted and destroyed because of this, Lu Song would be high in the south and the emperor would be far away, and he would be able to escape faster even if he could leave a bloodline for the Lu family.

Of course, now Lu Wu is at its peak, and the Lu family has the opportunity to find Feng Bo. When will he fight if he doesn’t fight?

So, in addition to leaving a way out for the Lu family, Lu Jinhe almost squeezed out all the chips of the Lu family, and he almost sold the Lu family.

During this period, he mobilized elites from all over the Lu family to recruit external heroes and spent a lot of money to prepare supplies. If he hadn't greeted the King of Wu in advance, such a big move as the Lu family would have been arrested as a preparatory rebellion.

However, no matter how fast Lu Jinhe moves, it is not as fast as Lu Wu's side. These material talents are still on the way to gather.

As for why Lu Wu’s second brother came here?

According to the tradition at this time, the eldest son of the family must inherit the family business and stand up for the family; if the second son goes out to make a fortune, it is considered a skill. If he can't make a fortune, he will go home to work for the eldest son.

Lu Bai had to go out to study around at a young age, and this is why.

The Lu family is a family of merchants and many branches in the family. The head of the family is not a one-man rule, so this is better.

As the boss, Lu Song also needs to work hard to prove himself before he is qualified to take over the family business.

Now that Lu Wu has opened up, the Lu family must of course strongly support it. The second brother Lu Bai and Lu Wu are of the same generation. They used to be nice to their younger brother and are the most suitable candidate to lead the team.

Originally, many elders in the Lu family wanted to come and take advantage of the east wind to gain wealth.

Even if Lu Jinhe and others became doctors, their relatives were nobles and their titles could not be passed on to their descendants. How could they be compared to being nobles by themselves?

But Lu Jinhe was afraid that these people would not know their lives and death, so he ran over to show his face as an elder. If Lu Wu cut off ten or eight elders, how could he, the patriarch, settle it?

As for whether that boy Lu Wu would chop people up when he was anxious, Lu Jinhe felt that there was no need to guess this at all.

"You said that this city is the place of the five southern prefectures, and it is crucial that General Lu really let go and hand over this city to my Meng family? Or should I use my Meng family as a pawn?"

Meng Yang stood at the top of Tonghe Prefecture City with his hands behind his back, looking at the setting sun in the distance, and whispered to himself.

There were two people standing beside Meng Yang, one of whom was his elder brother, Meng Zheng, and the other was his younger brother Meng De.

The three brothers of the Meng family are all outstanding. One is in politics, one is practicing martial arts, and one is doing business. The three brothers work together to transform the Meng family from a mere sergeant family, breaking through the class among a generation and becoming a doctor's family.

Unfortunately, their methods of making a fortune were a bit disgraceful. They were taken over by the great nobles in Tonghe City and repeatedly exploited them. In addition, their ally Jiang Xingde rebelled and Lu Wu was in a big army, so the Meng family simply turned against each other.

Resigning to Lu Wu was a last resort, but Lu Wu was indeed generous and handed over the entire Tonghe City to the three brothers of the Meng family. In this era, the countryside was actually very poor, and the city was the wealth of the country. This was really a gift.

However, judging from the information collected by all parties, Tonghe City is probably a big pit.

"Didn't we expected these things?" Meng Zheng also looked at the sunset in the distance and said.

The setting sun shines in front of the city, and the ground is covered with blood - maybe in a while, it will be flooded with real blood.

"Now we have no way out. We just see if General Lu wants to completely exhaust our Meng family here, or whether he wants to use the power of our Meng family to fight the Chu army here." The eldest brother Meng Zheng continued.

As an insider, the Meng family broke Tonghe City. In order to show their loyalty, Meng Yang killed Xianglu, the brother of King Xiangtong of Chu, and broke off from the Chu people. Even if they rebel again, they would be the end of death and would never have a chance to survive.

"It's just my fault that I was confused by greed that day, and that I dared to take over Tonghe City." Meng Yang blamed himself.

"How can you blame the second brother? The Meng family rebelled against Chu State, just to go further. If you don't even dare to eat the meat you sent to your mouth, you're afraid that you can't even maintain your original status." The spokesperson was Meng De.

Everyone has their own perspective when looking at things, and from different perspectives, they will come up with completely different results.

The boss Meng Zheng thought that Meng Yang was quite short-sighted in making this decision, but he was not in Tonghe that day and had no time to stop Meng Yang's decision.

Meng Yang looked at the perspective of the people in the martial arts world that day, Lu Wu was domineering throughout the journey and would not wait for the Chu army to accumulate troops. He would definitely take advantage of the victory and gain strategic initiative to make a big splash - otherwise, what was waiting for him would be the army that Chu State calmly mobilized its troops and pressed with absolute advantage.

So in his opinion, Lu Wu was about to enter the heart of Chu and make a big splash. Tonghe City, as Lu Wu's logistics base, is absolutely beautiful.

He never expected that Lu Wu would stop fighting Tonghe City after he fought - Tonghe City became the front line, and now he was in a wax.

But from the perspective of the third brother Meng De's own gains and losses, the second brother had to make this decision.

On that day, Lu Wu came in full force, and the great nobles of Chu tried to extort the Meng family in various ways. If they did not surrender Lu Wu, the Meng family would be afraid that they would be in front of them. Since Lu Wu was surrendered, how could they escape this battle?

Since you can't escape, of course you have to get the benefits first.
