I’m The King Chapter 892: :Huanghuang Hanwei (17)

The Eastern Expedition Army has been invincible on the battlefield over the years. In addition to the fighting will of the soldiers and the strong support of the people under their command, the military workshop located in Jishi City can also be said to have made great contributions , Zhengdong Army has always been far ahead of the opponent in the development of weapons, and can always suppress the opponent on the battlefield. Gao Yuan, who has a lifetime of experience, naturally understands the importance of weapons.

Guo Jingzhi, the head of the military workshop, called together the foremen and some important craftsmen in the various workshops, and Gao Yuan delivered an enthusiastic speech, fully affirming their contribution to the Eastern Zheng Army over the years. Under the leadership of Gao Yuan, these military giants present bowed to thank these craftsmen.

Guo Jingzhi did not expect such an event at all. When he saw Gao Yuan thanking the artisans represented by him, like all the artisans present, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. At that time, the status of craftsmen was very low. Many of them came from Langya. To put it bluntly, they used to be Ye’s private property. Become a free citizen, and the outstanding ones even get official status. As long as you can make contributions, Zhengdong Mansion has always been generous with generous rewards.

In Guo Jingzhi's small meeting room, several large tables were put together. These tables were originally used by Guo Jingzhi and the old craftsmen when they were studying weapons, but now they are full of wine and food. He led his generals to huddle together with these craftsmen, drinking and eating meat. The dishes were made by Guo Jingzhi temporarily, but the wine was brought by Gao Yuan.

At that time, Guo Jingzhi didn't know that Gao Yuan was going to eat here, so the food was naturally not very good, it was just ordinary food, which made him very uneasy, for fear that the generals would be dissatisfied, but he didn't know that these people in the battlefield Guys who come and go in the wind and rain are not very particular about food. A big bowl of meat and a big bowl of wine is enough. The big bowls of dishes Guo Jingzhi brought make them feel more comfortable to eat. What they care more about is Some improvements to weapons, several generals were drinking and eating meat, while discussing with the craftsmen around them the aspects that some weapons need to improve. The scene was extremely lively.

There is no general who leads troops to fight and does not want the weapons of his soldiers to be sharper.

Gao Yuan was surrounded by Guo Jingzhi and several old craftsmen with white beard and hair. The younger ones wanted to squeeze in, but there was really no place to go, but even if they were on the periphery, It doesn't prevent them from staring at Gao Yuan with staring eyes, and pricking up their ears, for fear of missing a word Gao Yuan said.

Every craftsman here knows that the first sketch of the now-famous Arm Tension Crossbow was drawn by Gao Dudu. Over the years, the Arm Tension Crossbow has been continuously improved by craftsmen. The original sketch has undergone earth-shaking changes, and its power has been greatly improved, but without a source, how can there be living water?

I heard that the superintendent was the first to come up with the idea and conception of the magic crossbow, and then it took nearly two years for several experienced crossbow masters to make this prototype. It seems that the superintendent is extremely satisfied Yes, these masters will soon be able to get the official status issued by Zhengdong Mansion.

"The punching machine you are using now is not powerful enough, you can try to use hydraulic power to drive it." Gao Yuan gestured. In fact, he had only heard of this thing, but had never seen it. But this does not prevent him from eloquently speaking to these craftsmen. Anyway, the later experiments will be done by them, and he only needs to come up with such a concept.

Listening to Gao Yuan's narration, many craftsmen don't care whether they understand it or not, first write down every word firmly, and then come to think about it, isn't that how the magic crossbow came?

Yi Bin walked in amidst the hot atmosphere, stood there, looked around for a while, only to find Gao Yuan surrounded by craftsmen, and immediately squeezed there.

Yi Bin is one of the elders of the Overwatch Council, and is now the vice president of the Overwatch Council. However, after Ning Xin arrived, the foreign affairs he was in charge of before have been handed over to Ning Xin. He is now mainly in charge of the operation. , The overall layout of the Overwatch Council is that Cao Tianci is in charge of the overall situation, Ning Xin is in charge of foreign affairs, and Zhang Yi is in charge of internal affairs. During this period of time, Ning Xin had just married Gao Yuan, so he took over the temporary management of the foreign affairs department.

Several young craftsmen were pushed aside by Yi Bin, and they were about to express their dissatisfaction, but when they saw the black uniform on each other, they immediately shut their mouths.

"Captain!" Yi Bin walked up to Gao Yuan and called out in a low voice.

"Well, Yi Bin, why are you here?" Gao Yuan asked a little strangely.

"Commander, something happened in Quwo." Yi Bin said.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, the other side of Quwo is naturally King Yan Jiling, since Yi Bin came to look for him in person, I am afraid that the matter is not small. He turned to Guo Jingzhi and said, "You accompany the generals to continue the discussion , You must pay special attention to the opinions of the generals, I have something to do, so I will go first."

"Yes, I will send you off to the governor!"

"You don't need to send it away, you can discuss it with these craftsmen here, summarize, and write down the requirements and opinions of the generals on weapons. Doing your job well is the greatest respect for me. Not above these greetings and sendings, do you understand?" Gao Yuan waved his hand and left the house.

Out of the square area, Gao Yuan, surrounded by guards, walked towards the Dudu Mansion.

"Tell me, what happened?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Just now, General Ye Zhen from Tianhe urgently sent an urgent report from 800 miles away. The veteran sent by Kong Fang to deliver a letter to General Kong De came back, and the news he brought back was that Kong De had been arrested. And then we The Overwatch Council also sent back a secret report, which said that it was confirmed that General Kong De had been killed, and the middle and senior generals that General Kong De brought to Quwo were almost wiped out." Yi Bin said in a low voice.

With a tight hand, Gao Yuan stopped his horse, "Does Kong Fang know?"

"Not yet, General Kong Fang is coming back this time, and he will **** a batch of ordnance for the Central Army. Now these ordnance are still being loaded, and I am afraid that it will take two or three days before we can set off."

Gao Yuan took a deep breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, and sighed, "The mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building, let's go, let's talk when we go back. Wei Yuan."

He Weiyuan rode his horse and rushed to Gao Yuan's side, "What orders does the governor have?"

"Go in person and ask General Kong Fang to come to the governor's mansion and tell him that I have something important to see him."

Back to the Governor's Mansion, Gao Yuan immediately sent someone to invite Jiang Jiaquan and Ning Xin.

"I've seen my wife!" Seeing Ning Xin enter the door, both Jiang Jiaquan and Yi Bin stood up and bowed to Ning Xin. I also don't want to lose my courtesy.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm a concubine!" Ning Xin hurriedly turned half of her body sideways. Even Gao Yuan paid respect to Jiang Jiaquan, so how could she accept Jiang Jiaquan's gift? As for Yi Bin, everyone used to be together After working together for a long time, seeing Yi Bin bowing to him solemnly, he felt a little awkward for a while.

"Okay, they are all from my family, so there is no need to be polite." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Sit down, Yi Bin, and tell me the information you got again! Let Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Understand the ins and outs of this matter."

Yi Bin nodded, and succinctly recounted the information that the Overwatch Council had just received. After listening to Yi Bin's narration, Jiang Jiaquan had to ponder for a while, then looked at Ning Xin, "Madam, you have always been in charge of the Office of Overwatch Council. You have been following up on Quwo's ​​affairs, I want to hear your thoughts first."

Ning Xin nodded, "After Ji Ling fled to Quwo, the Overwatch Council stepped up monitoring there. At first, nothing unusual was found. Wei Guo resisted the Qin army in exchange for the shelter of Quwo, which really made us pay attention to where we found the Black Ice Platform and suddenly strengthened its activities there. Among them, the most important thing is to find the main adviser of Lu Chao. Zhang said that he appeared in Quwo and had close contact with Tan Feng, Zhou Yu and others."

"That is to say, the people of Qin are also playing with Quwo's ​​idea." Gao Yuan said.

"That's right, the Qin army led by Lu Chao is now at an impasse with the allied forces of Wei and Zhao. If the Yan army turns against the water, Wei's left-wing defense line will inevitably be breached, and Daliang will be in crisis."

"Ji Ling can't be so stupid. In Quwo, he can still be his king of the mountain. If he really votes for Qin, I'm afraid he won't be able to find a rich man." Gao Yuan shook his head.

"If it's Tan Feng, what about Zhou Yu and the others?" Ning Xin asked back.

Gao Yuan couldn't help being startled. "So, the death of General Kong De is not an isolated incident of suspicion that General Kong De had an affair with us!"

"It's fine if it's an isolated incident, but if it's a cover in a series of conspiracies, then I'm sure that the Qin people have already controlled the Yan army, and Tan Feng and Zhou Yu have already voted for the Qin army , Wei Guo will suffer a big loss, and we will have to face the Qin army in advance." Ning Xin said.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Gao Yuan turned to look at Jiang Jiaquan.

"Madam's concerns are not unreasonable. We have just ended our battle with Donghu and Qi people. Firstly, the army needs to be repaired, and secondly, the results of the battle must be digested. The finances also need time to recover. If Lu Chao succeeds, we will have to face the threat of the Qin people. Therefore, we must formulate strategies in advance to minimize the threat." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, let Ye Zhen immediately deploy troops to the Quwo area on the Weiyan border. At the same time, let the infantry lead the cavalry to return to the Central Army."

"I'm afraid it's not enough. Ye Zhen's central group army also needs to deploy troops on the Yanqi border, and now he has not enough troops." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Order the First Division of the Guards led by Yang Dasha to support Ye Zhen, and order Agu Huai'en to lead 10,000 Donghu cavalry to listen to Ye Zhen's account."

"If Lu Chao is really as we expected, then order Ye Zhen to approach and help the Wei people."

"But in this way, we will have a direct confrontation with the Qin people!" Ning Xin reminded.

Gao Yuan smiled coldly, "We are going to confront each other on the left and right, and it just happens to let our army try the strength of the Qin people. This battle will only be a partial conflict, and it is impossible to evolve into a big battle between us and the Qin people." In large-scale battles, if Ye Zhen fights well and ruthlessly, maybe the envoys of the Qin people can come to our Jishi City again. Now the Wei people must not be allowed to collapse. The Wei people are completely collapsed. The relationship between us and the Qin people Large-scale conflicts will really come."

"It's a high opinion of the governor. Right now, we still need the people of Wei to hold back the people of Qin." Jiang Jiaquan nodded in agreement. (To be continued)
