Qi army, Qi army entered Cai Di, the army was stationed, Lu Di was resting and recuperating, and at this moment an urgent report came.

"Report!"

"What?"

Zhang Mengtan, the Huangmenlang on duty today, saw the soldiers running towards the king's tent in a hurry, frowned, and stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

In order not to interfere with Sun Wu, Lu Di handed over all the control of the military affairs of this battle to Sun Wu, and now the soldier does not go to Sun Wu to report and find his own king, which is a little wrong, Zhang Mengtan naturally wants to ask.

The soldier said: "Yu Huangmen, the latest information, Wang Xu admires the seal of the six countries, holds the six countries military talismans, and holds 700,000 allied troops, and the general of the humble end thinks that this matter still needs to be known by the king." ”

Zhang Mengtan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took the bag and asked the soldiers to wait outside the tent, and he himself walked into the hall quickly.

"The King"

Zhang Mengtan walked to Lu Di, who was pretending to be sleeping, and whispered in his ear.

Lu Di opened his eyes at this time, slowly moved his legs and muscles, and then exhaled deeply, and after calming down, he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Mengtan has long been surprised by Lu Di's behavior, according to his own king, this is called meditation and health preservation, and every day insists on the effect of beneficial longevity and longevity.

Although Zhang Mengtan didn't believe it at first, he looked at the king, who was almost the same age as himself, but was obviously more than ten years younger than himself, and Zhang Mengtan believed it.

"Great King, Wang Xu is in charge of the seals and military talismans of the Six Kingdoms, and was jointly appointed by the Six Nations as the commander of the 700,000 coalition forces"

Zhang Mengtan repeated the soldier's words, and then handed the bag to Lu Di.

Lu Di took it, opened it and took a closer look, the more he looked at it, the more frowning he became, this time the Six Kingdoms crusaded against himself and the princes crusaded against him when the Huangchi Alliance was in full swing: although the army of the Princes' Alliance back then was also Wang Xu as the commander-in-chief, but in fact, what Wang Xu really controlled was only the Wei army, as for the other countries that did not obey the order, in short, the alliance was very loose, but this time, Wang Xu obviously learned from the experience of the failure of the last crusade against the Qi State, so he directly collected the Six Kingdoms Xiangyin and the military talisman in his hands, Let the army of the Six Nations truly become your own command.

An army of 700,000!

It's still Wang Xu, the rumored Guiguzi!

It seems that Sun Wu is in some danger this time.

Lu Di turned his head to look at Zhang Mengtan and suddenly said, "Second column, where are you now?" ”

Zhang Mengtan pinched his fingers and calculated: "The day before yesterday, it was reported that the 100,000 troops of the second column have been assembled and are marching towards Henan County. ”

"Half a month? It's still too slow, tell the national letter, speed up the march, within seven days, you must give Gu to Cai Di," Lu Di said in a deep voice.

"Nuo" Zhang Mengtan knew that the arrival of the 100,000 troops of the second column would not make much difference, but without this 100,000 army, Sun Wu would rely on these 250,000 troops to confront the coalition forces, and the chance of victory might be zero.

Lu Di thought about it again: "What happened to the Bu Shang Department of the Third Column, the Fan Chi Department of the Fifth Column, and the Duanmu Ci Department of the Fourth Column?" ”

According to the news from Linzi, because of the eastward expansion of Zhao State, the county guards of Beiping County applied to Linzi in advance to recruit 100,000 troops, and now the 100,000 army is stationed in Changshan County, and the Fan Chi Department in the land of Wuyue has also recruited 50,000 troops, and Duanmu Ci has recruited 60,000 troops," Zhang Mengtan replied.

"One hundred thousand, fifty thousand and sixty thousand? This is 210,000, plus 100,000 in the second column, this is 310,000, and now Cai Di has 250,000 Qi troops, plus 310,000, it is 560,000"

"With 560,000 against the 700,000 of the coalition army, with Sun Wu's ability, as well as the advantages of Qi's armor and the advantages of people, it should not be a problem to win."

Lu Di estimated, and immediately said to Zhang Meng: "In the name of Lone, tell Bu Shang to immediately lead his troops south, and at the same time spread the edict to the whole country, based on the current war launched by the six countries against our country, Lone has to launch a national general mobilization order, so that the third, fourth and fifth columns enter the battlefield in advance."

"This?" Zhang Mengtan hesitated a little and persuaded: "King, will it be too hasty to let the third and fourth columns and the fifth column enter the battlefield in advance?" Moreover, the king previously said that the conscription was conscripted year by year, but now it has been advanced by nearly three years, and the inconsistencies will damage the king's credibility in the hearts of the scholars? Please also think twice. ”

Lu Di knew that what Zhang Mengtan said was reasonable, if the newly recruited soldiers were not trained, then going to the battlefield to fight was no different from committing suicide, and the most terrible thing might be that a rat feces would spoil a pot of soup, leading to the rout of the whole army.

In addition, he is the king, if he breaks his word and becomes fat, then his prestige in the hearts of the people of the world will be damaged, which is not conducive to his control of the central and local governments, and of course, the most disadvantageous thing is to destroy the cohesion and centripetal force of the hearts of the people of Qi State.

"What do you mean?" Thinking of this, Lu Di also hesitated.

Zhang Meng said: "The Ministry of Commerce can go south, because Beiping County and Changshan County are already fierce people, and most of their fathers, grandparents and brothers are veterans who followed the king to fight in the south and the north, and I believe that they have also received a lot of military training from their elders when they were at home, and they should be quick to adapt to the combat of the corps; As for the third, fourth, and fifth columns, they should immediately issue orders to the commanders and cities of the counties and cities, and put the direction of conscription on the veterans."

Lu Di nodded, but sighed in his mouth: "That lonely person can't stand these veterans!" ”

Lü Di implemented the military service system of the scholar class in Daqi, which is somewhat similar to the military household system, that is, the military household family can be conscripted into the regular army, as for the ronin class, although they can also become soldiers, but there is no establishment, they can only be called servant army, and only those who have made meritorious contributions, get rewards, and obtain the title of soldier, can become the family of military households.

Compared with ordinary civilian homes, although these military households face a huge danger to their lives, the benefits are also very great, they are respected, not to mention becoming local village party leaders, and the taxes paid by these military households are also less than half of those of ordinary families, and the most attractive thing is that there is no conscription.

And the reason why Lu Di said that he was sorry for these veterans was that once someone from the military family was conscripted, after completing military service, this person from this family would no longer be conscripted in the future, of course, unless no one in the family was eligible for military service.

So from this point of view, Lu Di violated the rules and regulations agreed with the scholars before, and he was sorry for those veterans.

But I can't control so much at the moment, so I can only grit my teeth and issue an edict.

Lu Di called Zuo Qiu Ming from the record office and asked him to write the edict on behalf of him, who expected Zuo Qiu Ming to listen to the matter before and after, and suggested: "The king can secretly send an envoy to orally summon the prince and recruit veterans in the name of the prince, so that the reputation of the king will not be damaged, and the second will be that even if the scholars make a fuss in the future, they can also shirk the responsibility to the prince, which is a plan to protect himself."

Lu Di exclaimed after hearing this: "Absolutely not! ”
