Luojiang Governor's Mansion, outside the festival hall.

Cao Jian walked around excitedly, and he received the news that the ballista battalion was shining in Qindi, and had repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the battle with the Taixi people, blocking the birds of the Taixi people, and now the prince has an order to spread it out here in Luojiang.

He didn't follow the mountain chief to Qindi at the beginning, and he lagged behind the new-style ballistae for a whole generation, and this time he took this opportunity to ask the capital to supervise the Wenxi expedition army and ask for a batch of new-style ballistae to be used for his own use.

"Captain Cao, the governor invites you in."

Finally, it was Cao Jie's turn to meet him.

Cao took a bundle of clothes and armor, strode into the festival hall, and saluted with fists.

"Cao has met the governor, and he has met the deputy governor."

Luo Da, who was on the top, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Cao Jie's fist salute.

Since Luo Da served as the governor of Luojiang Prefecture, the Han State's control over the Liangjiang region has become stronger and stronger, because the Qi people and the Yingtes have fought and have no time to look north, the Liangjiang region has recuperated, the people's livelihood has been well developed, and even the taxes have increased.

Luo Da thinks that he has done a good job, even if the prince is in charge of the Liangjiang region, it is nothing more than that.

"Cao Jie, what did you come to see me for?"

Cao Jie said respectfully: "The last general heard that the imperial court should strengthen the defense of the two rivers, and promised to mobilize a batch of new ballistas for my Luojiang naval division and various ports to use. ”

"Zhang Gan's kid is in Qindi, and he followed Captain He Wuwang and them, but he is too addicted to using a new ballista to fight birds."

"Enough!"

Luo Da roared angrily, and slammed the military booklet in his hand on the handsome case, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone flew wildly.

"The imperial court has strengthened the defense of the two rivers, is this something that a small ballista battalion lieutenant can hear about?"

"Don't rely on someone to support you, you dare to spread military secrets wantonly, if you ruin military affairs, this commander will cut off your head."

Cao Jian stood below in a daze,, how did Lao Tzu spread the secrets of the imperial court, the document on the use of ballistas to strengthen defense had already arrived in my ballista battalion, I just learned that the imperial court was going to implement new ballistas in Liangjiang through my classmates in the martial arts, so I came to ask for a few, and if I didn't give it, I just sent a fart.

The eyes of all the military masters in the festival hall were all attracted, and Wen Jiang spoke.

"Governor, the documents for strengthening defense have long been sent down to the ballista battalion, and strengthening the defense this time is the main work of the ballista battalion."

Wen Jiang is a surrendered general, he is careful everywhere, and he is even more preferential to the students who came out of the martial arts hall where Su Lu personally served as the mountain chief, and he did not dare to slack off, otherwise with his careful style of acting everywhere, he would never open his mouth when Luo Da was angry.

Roda turned red when he heard this, and he almost felt an internal injury in his breath.

"I see"

Luo Da said in a sullen voice, lowered his head, and continued to look at the military booklet in his hand, not paying attention to Cao Jian at all.

Wen Jiang squinted, his gaze changed between Luo Da and Cao Jie, and he also became Maitreya Buddha, and asked him to say a word for Cao Jie, but it was impossible to have a hard top with Luo Da.

Cao Ji came out of the festival hall in a gloomy manner, his heart was depressed, it was obviously a good thing, but when he got to Roda here, it became a depressing thing.

"Lao Cao, you kid still have the leisure to come to the governor's mansion to hang out, you haven't read the new documents of the imperial court, your ballista battalion has more work."

Pingqi, who was walking towards him, patted Cao Jie's shoulder and said with a smile. He came to see Luo Da, and spread the movements of the Qi people and the Inter people, and when he met Cao Jie, the proud protégé of the prince, he deliberately came over to say a word.

Cao then saluted Pingqi, "The last general has seen the governor of Pingqi, so I'm going to get busy." ”

Saying that, Cao Jian walked out, although there was no new type of ballista, but things still had to be done, and ballistas should be arranged at ferries all over the Luojiang River, especially several important ports, and a large number of ballistae should be equipped.

Ping Qi squinted his eyes and laughed: "Lao Cao, you are the proud protégé of the prince, who dares to give you anger, you turned around and made a fuss, left the ballista battalion, and ran to the Ordnance Division, there was an accident along the Luo River, and Luo Dudu couldn't hold it." ”

Cao Jie's eyes lit up, yes, if you Luo Da doesn't transfer a new type of ballista for me, I can ask for a transfer myself, go to the Ordnance Division, the Ordnance Department, and I can always deal with the new ballista.

Dani, He Wu is all there, and the Ordnance Department often goes to the prince's army, I don't know what happened to Zhang Gan's kid with the Ballista Battalion, and when he turns back to the Ordnance Department, he will definitely be able to see him.

However, it is necessary to sort out the matter at hand, the ballistas everywhere must be laid out, and the two river areas are bothered to be taken down by the mountain chief, and the Interns cannot be taken again.

Thinking like this, Cao Jie became more energetic again, said hello to Pingqi, hummed a small tune, and proudly walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

Pingqi looked at Cao Jie's back, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, Cao Jie, this kid is a person valued by the prince, if he picks the child directly, then his future achievements are limited, if he can complete the deployment of ballistas at the port along the river, and then pick the child, it is a talent worth cultivating.

The file rating that the prince has explained, whether it can be one level higher depends on whether you Cao Zhi himself can give it or not.

A month later, Su Lu looked at Cao Jie, who was kneeling on one knee and kneeling in front of the handsome case, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"After you graduated from the martial arts hall, didn't you go to the Luojiang Governor's Mansion, what's the matter, when did the imperial court transfer you to me?"

Cao Jian got up from the ground, and said with a smile: "The last general can't be used in the Luojiang Governor's Mansion, and he is always made difficult, I really can't stand it, and after completing the ministry of deploying defense along the river, I asked to be transferred to the Ordnance Division, and the Governor of Luoda directly approved it." ”

Su Lu frowned, the ferries in Luojiang were armed, it was his own arrangement, how could he let Cao Jie offend Luo Da.

"What, why did you make Roda angry, you kid has always had itchy skin, do you want me to write to General Roda and explain it to you?"

Cao waved his hand again and again: "No need, no need, Mountain Chief, I'm very good in the Ordnance Division, I can deal with the latest ballista, I sleep and have a sweet dream." ”

Su Lu nodded: "Okay, at my point, go and meet your old buddy Zhang Gan, this kid went to lecture in the martial arts hall for a while, although he didn't graduate, but there are a lot more means, there are few wars in the Liangjiang region, you have to learn to operate with Zhang Gan." ”

"The student knows, let's go learn from Lao Zhang, and by the way, I can also meet our new ballista, I am suffocated in Luojiang, there are no new ballistas there."

Su Lu's brows furrowed even tighter: "I specially transferred a hundred new ballistas from here, sent a message to Luo Da, and ordered him to set them up at various ports in Luojiang, why didn't you see those new ballistas?" ”

"Didn't you finish the work of laying ballistas at various ports, so you picked on it?"

Cao Jie called out to hit the sky, "Mountain Chief, you can ask the Governor of Pingqi in Dingwen, I personally completed the deployment of the ballista, and then I asked Luo Da for an order, and when I arrived at the Ordnance Division, I don't dare to be sloppy with your request." ”

"Then why didn't you see those new ballistas?"

Next to him, Dong Ling asked with a smile, and at the same time put a military booklet in his hand in front of Su Lu.
