Chapter 473 The Luojiang Governor's Mansion with insufficient action
Luojiang Governor's Mansion, outside the festival hall.
Cao Jie walked around excitedly. He received news that the ballista battalion was shining brightly in the Qin Dynasty. It had repeatedly made military exploits in the battle with the Taixi people and blocked the Taixi people's flying birds. Now the prince has an order to attack the Taixi people.
It will also be expanded here in Luojiang.
I did not follow the mountain commander to the Qin Dynasty, and I was a whole generation behind the new ballistae. This time I took advantage of this opportunity and asked the governor to send the Western Expedition Army to get a batch of new ballistae for my use.
"Cao picks up the captain, and the governor invites you in."
Finally it was Cao Jie's turn to pay his respects.
Cao Jie bundled up his clothes and strode into the festival hall, clasping his fists and saluting.
"Cao met with the governor and met with the deputy governor."
Roda raised her eyebrows and seemed a little dissatisfied with Cao Jie's clasped fist salute.
Since Luo Da served as the governor of Luojiang Prefecture, the Han Dynasty has become more and more controlling in the Liangjiang area. Because the Qi people are fighting with the Yingte people and have no time to visit the north, the Liangjiang area is recuperating and recuperating. People's livelihood has been well developed, and even taxes have increased.
Got up.
Roda thought that he had done a good job, even if the prince was in charge of the Liangjiang area, it was nothing more than this.
"Cao Jie, why did you come to see me?"
Cao Jie said respectfully: "The general heard that the imperial court wanted to strengthen the defense of the two rivers and promised to mobilize a batch of new ballistae for our Luojiang Navy and various ports to use. The general was bold enough to ask the governor for a few.
The ballistas used by the ballista battalion are already an era behind the new ballistae."
"That boy Zhang Gan was in Qin, following Captain He Wu and others, but he got addicted to using the new ballistae to shoot birds."
"enough!"
Roda roared angrily and slammed the military affairs booklet in his hand on the commander's desk, causing pens, inks, papers and inkstones to fly around.
"The imperial court has strengthened the defense of the two rivers. Is this something you, a captain of a small ballista battalion, can do?"
"Don't dare to spread military secrets just because someone is backing you. If you ruin the military affairs, I will chop your head off."
Cao Jie stood below in confusion. Damn it, how did I spread the secrets of the imperial court? The document on using ballistae to strengthen defense has long been drafted and reached my ballistae camp. I only knew about the imperial court’s plan to use ballistae in Liangjiang through my classmates in the martial arts hall.
We are promoting a new type of ballistae, so I came here to ask for a few of them. If I don't give them to them, I'd be pissed off.
The eyes of all the military leaders in the festival hall were attracted, and Wen Jiang spoke.
"Commander, the documents for strengthening defense have been sent to the Ballista Battalion a long time ago. Strengthening defense this time is the main task of the Ballista Battalion."
As a surrendered general, Wen Jiang was careful in everything he did. He also treated the students from the martial arts hall where Su Lu personally served as the mountain commander, and he did not dare to neglect them. Otherwise, with his careful behavior, he would never be in Luo.
Da spoke when he was furious.
Rhoda's face turned red when she heard this, and she almost suffered internal injuries from holding back her breath.
"I see"
Roda said in a low voice, lowered her head, and continued to read the military affairs booklet in her hand, showing no intention of paying any attention to Cao.
Wen Jiang squinted his eyes and switched between Luo Da and Cao Jie. He also acted like a Maitreya Buddha. He could ask him to say something for Cao Jie, but it was impossible to stand up to Luo Da.
Cao Jie came out of the festival hall dejectedly, feeling very upset. It was obviously a good thing, but when it came to Roda, it turned into something depressing.
"Old Cao, you still have time to hang out in the Governor's Mansion. You haven't read the new imperial decree. Your Ballista Battalion has a lot of work."
Ping Qi, who was walking towards him, patted Cao Jie on the shoulder and said with a smile. He came to see Luo Da to inform about the movements of Qi people and Yingte people. When he met Cao Jie, the prince's favorite disciple, he deliberately came to chat with him.
sentence.
Cao Jie saluted Pingqi and said, "General, I have seen Governor Pingqi, so I will go and get busy."
With that said, Cao Jie walked out. Although he didn't ask for new ballistae, things still had to be done. Crossbows must be deployed at the ferries across the Luo River, especially at several important ports. A large number of crossbows must be deployed.
gun.
Ping Qi squinted his eyes and laughed: "Old Cao, you are the prince's favorite disciple, who dares to make you angry? Then you got angry, abandoned the ballista battalion, and ran to the Ordnance Department. There are many places along the Luo River.
It’s all over, even Governor Luo can’t handle it.”
Cao Jie's eyes lit up, yes, if Roda doesn't help me adjust the new ballista, I can ask for it myself and go to the Ordnance Department. I can always deal with the new ballista.
Dani, He Wu is there, and the Ordnance Department often goes to the prince's army. I wonder how that boy Zhang Gan has done with the ballista battalion. I will definitely see him when I go back to the Ordnance Department.
However, we need to sort out the things at hand, and the ballistas everywhere need to be deployed. The two river areas were conquered by the mountain chief with great pains, and we cannot let the Yingte people take them away again.
Thinking like this, Cao Jie became high-spirited again, said hello to Ping Qi, hummed a tune, and left the Governor's Mansion proudly.
Ping Qi looked at Cao Jie's back, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Cao Jie was a man that the prince valued. If he just gave up the job, his future achievements would be limited. If he could complete the deployment of crossbows along the river port,
If you put aside your options, you will be a talent worth cultivating.
Whether the file rating that the prince has given you can be improved by one level depends on your ability.
A month later, Su Lu looked at Cao Jie, who was kneeling on one knee in front of the handsome case, and couldn't help but frown.
"After you graduated from the martial arts school, didn't you go to Luojiang Governor's Mansion? Why, when did the imperial court transfer you to my place?"
Cao Jie got up from the ground and said with a smile: "The general can't do his best in Luojiang Governor's Mansion, and he is always making things difficult. He really couldn't bear it. After completing the duties of deploying defenses along the river, he asked himself to be transferred to the Ordnance Department. Luo
The governor directly approved it."
Su Lu frowned. It was his own arrangement to set up defenses at various crossings in the Luo River. Why did he let Cao Jie offend Luo Da?
"Why, why did you make Roda angry? You are always itchy. Do you want me to write a letter to General Roda and explain it to you?"
Cao waved his hands one after another: "No, no, Chief, I am very good in the Ordnance Department. I can deal with the latest ballistae. I have sweet dreams even when I sleep."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay then, stay here and go meet your old buddy Zhang Gan. This guy went to the Jiangwu Hall to study for a while. Although he has not graduated, he has many skills.
We have learned a lot. There are very few wars in the Liangjiang area, so you should learn how to operate artillery from Zhang Gan."
"Students understand, let's go and learn from Lao Zhang, and by the way, we can also see our new ballistae. I'm so embarrassed in Luojiang, there are no new ballistae there."
Su Lu's brows furrowed even more tightly: "I specially allocated a hundred new ballistae from here, sent a letter to Luo Da, and ordered him to deploy them at various ports of the Luo River. Why didn't you see those new ballistae?"
"Have you given up the job before completing the deployment of crossbows at each port?"
Cao then called out to Chuang Tianqu, "Shan Commander, you can write a letter to ask the Governor of Wei Ping Qi. I completed the deployment of the ballistae myself, and then I asked Luo Da for the transfer order. When I arrived at the Ordnance Department, Commander Shan, you
I don’t dare to be careless about your request.”
"Then why haven't you seen those new ballistae?"
Next to him, Dong Ling asked with a smile, and at the same time put a military affairs brochure in his hand in front of Su Lu.
