Chapter 784: King of Chu? How many divisions does he have?
Wu Zixu had been on the battlefield.
He participated in the destruction of Chen State a few years ago and the destruction of Cai State this year.
Having experienced life and death on the battlefield, it is natural that you will not be moved by some scenes.
But when I faced the person in front of me today, I felt as nervous as when I faced thousands of troops on the battlefield.
The person in front of me brings a strong sense of oppression, as if there are thousands of troops in front of me.
"You are so brave."
Wu Zixu narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yunze, "Aren't you afraid that Chu Jian will be in trouble?"
Of the Chu armies of this era, only the Jin armies can be said to be capable of fighting.
Even Qi Guo, the boss of Lu State, is in a state of distress, let alone Lu State, who is at the junior level.
You must know that Chen State and Cai State, which were on the same level as Lu State, were also destroyed by Chu State in recent years.
The powerful Chu army is the confidence of the Chu people.
Wherever the soldiers point, who dares to bare his teeth?
"My sword is not bad at all!"
Today Wu Zixu really met someone who dared to bare his teeth.
Li Yunze's eyes were like swords: "The great Chu army? Believe it or not, if I educate just a few apprentices, I can train strong soldiers to defeat the state of Chu?"
Hearing this, Wu Zixu laughed, very wildly.
He didn't say anything more, looked deeply at Li Yunze, then turned around and left.
He's just a lunatic. There's nothing much to say about a lunatic.
Wu Zixu went directly to Lu Gong's palace.
Although the State of Lu was the younger brother of the State of Qi, it naturally did not dare to neglect the envoys of the State of Chu. Lu Gong also received Wu Zixu according to standard procedures.
Unexpectedly, after the simple greetings, Wu Zixu directly expressed his attitude.
"You have a book-writing soul in the Lu State, which has humiliated my king. Now my king is very angry. As the king, it's time for you to make a statement."
The former prince Song and the current king of Xinlu were not stupid, and they naturally understood the meaning of Wu Zixu's words.
However, he did not rush to agree with the king of Chu to kill the book writer, nor did he lose his temper as if he had been greatly humiliated.
Lu Gong just said sincerely, 'Everything in the Lu State is in the hands of Sanhuan. For such important diplomatic matters, it is useless for you to go to me, you have to go to Sanhuan.'
Wu Zixu also had some knowledge of the situation in Lu.
After all, this kind of thing is similar in all countries. In Jin State, various ministers were in power, and in Qi State, the Tian family directly replaced Qi, etc.
Wu Zixu didn't pay too much attention.
After completing the process with Lu Gong according to etiquette, he went straight to the Jisun family's residence.
Naturally, Ji Sun did not dare to neglect and received Wu Zixu warmly.
However, when Wu Zixu narrated the matter to Ji Sun, the real leader of the Lu State was so frightened that he threw the wine prince in his hand directly.
"No, no, no."
Ji Sun's head shook like a rattle, "This is absolutely impossible."
When Wu Zixu said this, he looked surprised, "He's just a book writer, why not?"
Whoever writes a book is nothing, he is just an ant that can be crushed to death with his hand.
This Ji Sun family, is it possible that she is so bold that she dares not to give face to Da Chu?
You must know that Da Chu has destroyed Chen State, and Song State is just across the road from Lu State. Are you really not afraid of Da Chu’s army coming to kill you?
Qi, the boss who protects you, is in such chaos now that the country is in such chaos that all the kings of Qi have been taken hostage!
"Your Majesty does not know something."
Ji Sunshi smiled bitterly and said, "That's enough for others, but this person really can't move."
Wu Zixu was from the Chu State. Outsiders didn't know how powerful Kong Laoer was, but Ji Sun knew it clearly.
That guy dares to kill even the king!
If I dare to give the order to get him, I don't have to wait for the sun to go down. I have to change my head to see the scenery.
"Why is this?"
Faced with Wu Zixu's inquiry, Ji Sun was in a dilemma and could only say, "Your envoy doesn't know, so it's inconvenient to reveal it. In short, this person cannot be moved."
Wu Zixu's face darkened, he stood up and waved his sleeves, saying, "Then please wait for the wrath of the king!"
After saying that, Wu Zixu left immediately.
He is a messenger, not an assassin.
Although they brought some warriors here, it would be unreliable to assassinate Li Yunze in Qufu City.
He didn't pay attention to the young and strong men in the academy.
But the pressure Li Yunze gave him was real.
No need to test him, he is definitely a ruthless character with hands full of blood.
Wu Zixu led his team and quickly left the state of Lu. He did not return in vain, but went back to report the situation. Next, it was time for the King of Chu to come forward.
If nothing else happens, the Chu army will send a sincere greeting to Lu.
When the worried Ji Sun rushed to the academy to find Li Yunze, she only saw Shaozheng Mao, whose eyes were red from staying up late and working overtime.
"Not in the academy."
"Where are you going?"
"Went to the newly purchased land."
After a straightforward exchange, Ji Sun worked tirelessly to find Li Yunze's traces again.
The cities of this era were completely different from the cities of later generations where every inch of land was at a premium.
There are large areas of open space in the city, some of which are planted with crops, and some of which are simply abandoned.
Li Yunze bought a piece of wasteland some time ago. Shao Zhengmao originally thought that he would move the papermaking workshop there. After all, the smell there was stronger, and the smoke in the backyard of the academy made everyone uncomfortable.
But what no one expected was that Li Yunze bought the wasteland and then commanded the students in the academy to do hard work shirtless in the sun.
When I started plowing the land, I thought it was for farming.
But who would have thought that the entire land would be leveled directly.
Later, it became more exaggerated and started planting grass directly!
That's right, such a large piece of land is not only growing food, but grass.
In the words of Shao Zhengmao, "If you want to eat grass, there are grass all over the mountains and plains outside the city."
Li Yunze's response was very monotonous, with only one word: "Get lost."
A few months have passed, and the grass has been carefully maintained and cared for, and it has grown vigorously. After being pruned, it looks green and beautiful.
When Ji Sun came here, he saw a shirtless Li Yunze, leading his group of muscular disciples to fight for a leather ball on the grass.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The strong men rushed over and ran over, you kicked me, I kicked you, the fight was endless.
Li Yunze was like a domineering chariot, knocking away several disciples whose chest muscles were bigger than their faces. He rushed to the goal made of bamboo and fishing nets, and rushed into the goal with the leather ball and the goalkeeper.
"This is called playing football!"
Li Yunze walked out and roared at the disciples, "Show off your muscles and use your strength! You want to be my official disciple, but what can you do if you don't have the body and strength? I won't accept weaklings!"
The disciples' blood boiled with excitement, and in the following time all that was visible to the naked eye was the collision of muscles.
Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked towards Ji Sun who was stamping his feet in such eagerness on the sidelines.
He took the linen cloth brought by the disciple, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"It's a disaster."
Ji Sun, whose face was filled with eagerness, kept saying, "The King of Chu is angry, and there may be a military disaster."
"Is it King Chu again?"
Li Yunze raised his neck and wiped the sweat from his neck, and asked casually, "How many divisions does he have?"
'Well...'
Ji Sun really knew about this matter.
"The King of Chu has six divisions."
In the Zhou system, the emperor had six divisions, named the Sixth Army.
Each division has 12,500 men, which is an army of 70,000 to 80,000 men.
And this is not just a ragtag group of people grabbing strong men and farmers to make up the numbers. In this era, the army is a standard professional soldier, composed of soldiers, countrymen and nobles.
This structure is very similar to the Roman legion...the Roman legion before the barbarians entered Rome on a large scale.
The King of Chu always believed that he was equal to the Emperor of Zhou, and the King of Chu was the king.
Therefore, the King of Chu also organized six divisions. In addition, there were also private armed forces in the hands of the nobles of Chu State from various places.
Chu's military power was so powerful that only Jin was qualified to compete with it.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, such a powerful army was the source of confidence.
To put it in one sentence, "If you don't go to court, you will be demoted. If you don't go to court again, you will lose your land. If you don't go to court three times, the six divisions will be moved."
I have become the overlord and I call you, my younger brother, to come and see the boss. If you don’t come when I call you the first time, I will demote your title.
If you still don't come when I call you the second time, then your fiefdom will be cut off.
If you don't come when I call you for the third time, then just send the Sixth Division to kill Ya Ting.
It is recognized by everyone in this era that the Sixth Division can destroy a country.
"Sixth Division?"
Li Yunze smiled, "Come then."
It sounded easy to say this, but when Ji Sun heard it, it was like being struck by lightning.
He was almost in tears, "It's really not possible, it's not possible. The State of Lu can't bear it."
How could the Lu State have one division of its regular military?
Moreover, Qi State, the boss of the Lu State, is in a lot of internal chaos right now and probably doesn’t have the time or energy to come to the rescue.
"Don't worry so much."
Li Yunze smiled and raised his hand to pat Ji Sun's shoulder, "The Sixth Division of Chu State can't come."
Mrs. Ji Sun looked puzzled, "How do you say this?"
"Although Chu State destroyed Chen and Cai, there was still Song State between them and Lu State."
Li Yunze kindly explained to the Jisun family what diplomacy means, "Song will naturally not let Chu pass through the border, and Song is protected by Jin. If Chu dares to mobilize troops, Jin will never sit idly by and ignore it."
The Song Dynasty was once powerful and prosperous.
After Duke Huan of Qi, the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, was starved to death, civil strife in Qi continued.
Song Xianggong sent troops to help Qi State quell the civil strife, and took advantage of the situation to replace Qi State and become the new generation overlord.
Of course, the overlord of Song State was in name only, and its strength was far inferior, so it was ousted from power a few years later after a disastrous defeat in the war with Chu State.
After that, he failed to recover and could only be said to be reduced to the younger brother of the Jin Kingdom.
"There are Song and Jin blocking the way. What are you afraid of?"
Li Yunze said to Ji Sunshi sincerely, "Besides, don't be afraid even if Chu's troops come to the city, I will destroy them!"
