"Judging from the results of the previous battle, the crossbow bolt played a role in determining the surname. In the current situation that we do not have the ability to increase steel production, we should still focus on the production of crossbow arrows and give priority to the production of crossbow arrows for the troops. At the same time, the training of soldiers in crossbow and arrow work was strengthened. Liu Yu said, "At this stage, we should still focus on defense, so that each fortress must store enough crossbow arrows for a large-scale battle." First of all, a large equipment group was built in each of the two eastern provinces, so that they could produce the materials needed for the war in the province and reduce the waste of time caused by transportation. Secondly, it is necessary to develop Bokan Equipment Group into a development and design group focusing on scientific and technological research and development, and increase the introduction of talents. Within the framework of the group, a number of R&D departments have been set up, each of which has established a project to tackle key problems, and strive to raise our scientific and technological level to a new height in the shortest possible time. At the same time, it encourages innovation and rewards all practical new inventions, so as to mobilize people's positive surname. ”

Listening to Liu Yu's words, Guan Xing nodded again and again: "This is exactly what we want to focus on in the next step, and we will make a detailed plan to implement it." Only this time the orcs suffered a lot, and we have to prevent their retaliation. And according to recent intelligence, the orcs will carry out a large-scale invasion of us. Our group is still in its infancy, in order for us to have a relatively peaceful development environment, and in order to be recognized by the Emperor, we must resist this attack of the orcs. Also, the orcs and demons have not really been able to unite, and we must take this opportunity to speed up our development. ”

"Liu Yu, Zhang Tianqi, give you ten years, and after ten years, you must at least become senior officers at the level of major generals, so that we will have more opportunities. Zhang Wenyu said.

"Also, you have contributed a lot to the victory of Fancheng Fortress Liu Yu this time, plus some previous credits, I have already asked the emperor to promote you to the title of viscount, and in a few days, I will award you a medal." Guan Xing said, "As a nobleman, you have to work harder to serve the empire." ”

The central province of the empire, the imperial city of Qilong, the imperial city of Qilongcheng

In the palace, Liu Xiangzheng, the current emperor of the Dragon Empire, sat in the main hall, presiding over the government. Liu Xiang was a virtuous emperor, and during his years in power, he rarely waged wars, paid attention to economic development, let the people recuperate, and gradually became stable.

The early dynasty has been going on for nearly four hours, and all kinds of government affairs have been basically handled. Liu Xiang stretched his waist and stood up, moved his body and said: "The Qing family has worked hard, the government and politics have been agreed, if there is nothing to do, today's morning dynasty will end here, everyone should go and get busy." ”

"Your Majesty, please stay, the minister has something to play. Imperial Prime Minister Qin Hui hurriedly stepped forward to play, "Yesterday, Guan Xing, the consul of Boban Province, recommended a person to confer the title of viscount, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Liu Xiangying said: "Yes, yesterday in the early dynasty, I received Guan Xing's recital and recommended a person named Liu Yu. It is said that this person contributed to the "Yijin Sutra" exercises, and improved the weapons of the army, and made great contributions to the great victory of the battle against the orcs in the fortress of Fancheng a few years ago, so he asked me to grant him the title. I have already given permission, what objection does Prime Minister Qin have?"

Qin Hui said: "The origin of this person is unknown, please be cautious Your Majesty." Since the beginning of the day, Archon Guan has been moving constantly, and he is building a school and a group, and he is busy, and the ministers are worried..."

"Qin Xiang is too worried. Guan Xing has always been loyal, and I can trust him. Besides, he also did this for the sake of the empire's strength. Qin Xiang, please relax. Liu Xiang's face sank, and he interrupted Qin Hui's words, "Everything in the empire is under my control. It's okay to disperse. ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing Liu Xiang leave angrily, Qin Hui's face suddenly turned ugly. I have to find a way, Guan Xing and I have always been at odds, and we have always advocated the implementation of change. Now that he has the trust of His Majesty, if he is allowed to do something more, the situation will not be good. No, I'm going to do something about it.

Leaving the palace, Qin Hui returned to the prime minister's official residence in a rage. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered: "Hurry up and let Zhao Gao come to see me, I have something important to discuss with him." After saying that, he went straight to the secret room without looking back.

The subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went out to find Zhao Gao.

After a while, Zhao Gao came in a hurry. went straight to Qin Hui's secret room, pushed the door in, saw Qin Hui's face was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Qin Xiang, what makes you so angry?"

Qin Hui said the matter of this morning, and then said: "This matter should not be underestimated, we must come up with a complete strategy, otherwise we will be in danger." ”

Zhao Gao's eyes kept rolling, and after a while, he said to Qin Hui: "Your Majesty has already recognized Guan Xing and the others in this matter, and it is not appropriate to act openly at this time, so you can only act secretly." You have to hear the truth first, and then you have to do this... ”

The next morning was about to end, the hussar general Zhao Gaoqi said: "I heard that the Fancheng fortress came to the good news, the orcs killed by the iron-backed crossbow were discarded and abandoned, the minister heard about this, and his heart was quite gratified, and he wanted to meet the young hero Liu Yu who invented this crossbow. Now His Majesty has crowned Liu Yu as a viscount, and he will go to confer a medal, and the minister has the courage to ask His Majesty for this errand, so let me go on this trip, and I will be close to this young hero, and ask for advice or two, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"

Liu Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to bother Zhao Qing so much, you can go on this trip for me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

In the study room of Guan Xing, Guanfu, Bokan City

"What? Zhao Gao came to canonize him, this is what the emperor meant?" Guan Xing asked worriedly,

The envoy who returned from Yanjing replied: "The emperor did not let him come before, I heard that Zhao Gao personally asked for it in front of the emperor, and what did he say that he was relieved to be close to him, and asked for advice or two." ”

"That's good, Zhao Gao and Qin Hui are in cahoots, if he wants to come, there must be nothing good. Hearing that it wasn't the emperor's meaning, Guan Xing suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "But now is not the time to turn your face, you still have to come up with a foolproof strategy." ”

"Big brother, you should inform Liu Yu about this matter first, let him know in his heart, don't fall into Zhao Gao's trap. Guan Xing said to Zhang Wenyu.

"Okay, I'll go to Xiao Yu in a while and make the situation clear to him. With his cleverness, he should be able to handle it. Zhang Wenyu replied.

"Now that Qin Hui and Zhao Gao have paid attention to us, we must be more careful in our actions in the future. Since the emperor will let Zhao Gao come, he must have a deep meaning. Guan Xing's brows furrowed slightly, and he kept thinking in his mind, but it was difficult to draw any conclusions for a while.

Zhang Wenyu comforted: "Third brother, it's useless to think too much now, when Zhao Gao comes, he will naturally be able to know what they want to do, and it is not easy for them to bring down you and my brother." ”
