War is not that simple.

Especially the Thunder Knife Meng Yang has no experience in leading troops. If he handed over a thousand troops to this person, he would be afraid that he would calculate how many days he would take to fight, how to set up camp at night, and how to arrange logistics support to ensure that the morale of the army is not chaotic.

However, Xianglu ignored him, which does not mean that Meng Yang was willing to give up.

"Mr. Meng is not talented, and his martial arts have entered the innate realm. If the deer thief dares to come, Meng will take it as a single person. Meng only asks an elite army to sweep the world and protect the country and the people. The masters have five thousand elite troops in their hands, and the county and county personnel can gather tens of thousands. It is more than enough to defend the city, so why bother to be stingy with these thousand troops?"

"Brother Meng's words are reasonable!"

"Are you a greedy man who is afraid of death so much that he has to take all the elite soldiers to protect him?"

"Those bandits are really careless and commit all kinds of evil deeds. I feel sorry for my third cousin, who is newly married, but they are broken by the bandits and strangled to death. And my third cousin was also plundered by the bandits. Now they are mostly innocent!" A man in a green robe also shouted.

"Brother Li, your third cousin just took the tenth concubine last month, where did you get the newlyweds?" the man next to him asked in a low voice.

Generally speaking, if a wealthy family wants to take a concubine, they have to marry after they get married. Only those who marry can be called newlyweds, and this word cannot be used to take a concubine.

"Ahem, my third cousin has taken another concubine in the eleventh room this month?" the man in the green robe replied in a low voice.

"Even if your cousin is not killed, he will die sooner or later on a woman's belly."

"Who said no? But since he is dead, he is just right to use it for waste." The man in the green robe whispered, then amplified his voice and shouted: "Master, you can't let the deer bandits be so rampant."

During this period, Lu Wu gave up the front-line attack and simply learned the means of his subordinate Ying Yuan harassing Yuci Mansion, released his troops, broke the villages and farms separately, killed the local tyrants with great anger, burned the IOU debt bill, took away gold, silver and jewelry, and distributed the burdens such as grain and furniture to the poor local villagers, of course, they also intercepted some of them as military rations.

Some of these people were pure landlords, but more were noble servants, or were landlords and tyrants on the surface, but secretly they were noble white gloves - this was to avoid the laws of Chu.

The local people are indeed afraid to take these things, for fear that the men will come back to find the future account.

But those poor people who really can’t afford to eat will not care about the future? It’s true that they fill their stomachs first.

In this way, when robbing and killing large households, they publicly burned a lot of IOU debt bills, which really won the hearts of the people for Lu Wu's army.

The people sent by Lu Wu were all Qiu Ba, who was from a low-class family. They had long been taken by Lu Wu for ransom or entered the personal barracks. It was easy to get into a group with these poor villagers.

So, as long as troops were sent from each county town, someone would take a small path to inform him. In just half a month, Lu Wu captured two more county towns.

While Lu Wu was reorganizing the army, he selected good seedlings for cavalry training.

With the Black God here, Lu Wu trains cavalry a hundred times more convenient than other generals - the most troublesome thing about cavalry training is that people and horses are not in good cooperation.

The Black God can directly ask the war horse to actively cooperate with the rider, and the two sides will be much faster than normal training. Moreover, if the war horse has a bad impression of the rider, it can also be replaced by the Black God's request - this is the only one in the world.

Lu Wu even came up with a secret recipe for raising war horses. Cooperating with training, it can greatly improve the endurance and running speed of war horses.

There is nothing strange about this secret recipe. It is the simplified version of the things that Black God eats on weekdays. Unlike ordinary feed, it is mainly composed of alfalfa, and is mostly made of eggs, vegetable oil, soybeans and a little beets. Then it is pressed into a square.

Just as soldiers who eat wine and meat are naturally stronger than soldiers who eat bran and yeast, it doesn’t take long for war horses to eat this feed to become brighter, then their muscles become developed, and finally the big belly that fills the forage gradually decreases. The strength and weight loss make them naturally have a significant increase in running speed and endurance.

Lu Wu personally trained this team and taught various horse martial arts. The most basic one was to cancel the reins, which was to control the horses with both legs. This was to take the initiative to cooperate with the war horses. Without the black god, this step alone would take a year and a half to get along with the people.

In order to achieve unity of people and horses, some generals began to train their foals carefully, feeding and washing them by themselves, and even ate and slept with horses, which was even more close to their horses than their wives.

So in just over ten days, Lu Wu's command had an elite cavalry team of about a thousand people.

Lu Wu stationed this cavalry near a farm that was captured between Zhangnan County and Shangyi County. As long as he heard that the county town sent troops, he rushed to intercept the road. Now he has succeeded twice. The defenders of Zhangnan County and Shangyi County each have lost hundreds of troops. Now they have closed the city gates, and they have sent people to Tonghe City for help like flowing water.

Xianglu had a great headache.

These people all have origins, at least representing one doctor, and even the nobles have as many as three families.

Of course he didn't care about two nobles, but there were thirty-nine ones here.

This power is extraordinary, almost representing all the nobles of Tonghe Prefecture, and even some of the nobles who escaped from Yuci Prefecture.

"Everyone, the deer bandits are very good. Even General Pan Fu was killed in the battlefield. Now that Tonghe City has no generals in charge, how can they compete with the deer bandits?

The king has dispatched the guards of the neighboring prefectures to lead a large army to aid. Everyone waits for a while. If we go to war without authorization, we will lose our troops and lose our city, that will ruin the overall situation!" Xianglu advised earnestly.

These people are not worried about the people, they are obviously damaged by their own industries and are furious.

Xianglu was extremely angry, but he had to smile on his face to explain - if General Pan Fu was still there, Xianglu would not be afraid of these people being anxious.

But now General Pan Fu is killed, and there is not a person of sufficient weight in the army to hold back the situation. Xianglu alone can't withstand the pressure from these people.

"I'm just waiting! If you wait any longer, all the villages outside the city are lost. How can our family gain a foothold? Dear Xianda, Meng is not talented, and is willing to protect our home for the pioneers. Please support Xianda!" Meng Yang shouted.

"My family has five priests, all fifth-grade masters, so you can walk with Brother Meng!" someone shouted.

"Brother Meng Gao Yi, we are here to follow the leader!"

"My ninth brother is named Qingyun Sword, so you can go to battle with Brother Meng!"

"I will come out with three hundred villages, fifteen crossbows, and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows!"

"My family has children as the official camp, so they can directly pull out a battalion of troops!"

"Yes, yes, my family also has children working in the army, and they can also recruit people!"
