Over the years, the Eastern Army has been invincible on the battlefield. In addition to the combat will of the soldiers and the strong support of the people under its jurisdiction, the military workshop located in Jishi City has made great contributions. The Eastern Army has always been ahead of its opponents in the development of weapons, and can always suppress its opponents on the battlefield. Gao Yuan, who has had lifetime experience, naturally understands the importance of weapons.

Guo Jingzhi, the head of the military yard, gathered the foremen in each yard and some important craftsmen. Gao Yuan delivered a enthusiastic speech, fully affirming the great role their contributions played in the victory of the Eastern Army on the battlefield over the years. Under Gao Yuan's leadership, the military giants present bowed to these craftsmen and thanked them together.

Guo Jingzhi never expected that such a thing would happen. When he saw Gao Yuan thanking the craftsmen represented by him, he was so excited that he burst into tears, just like all the craftsmen present. In this era, the craftsmen's status was very low, and many of them came from Langya. To put it bluntly, they were private items of the Ye family. Since they came to Jishi City, they not only removed the slavery relationship of the previous people, but also became free people. Among them, the outstanding ones also gained the official status. As long as you can make contributions, the East Prefecture has always been generous and rewarded.

In the small conference hall of Guo Jingzhi, 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 were filled with wine and food. Gao Yuan took his generals and these craftsmen to squeeze together, drinking and eating meat. The vegetables were made by Guo Jingzhi temporarily in the kitchen, but the wine was brought by Gao Yuan.

In advance, Guo Jingzhi didn't know that Gao Yuan was going to eat here, so the food was naturally not very good, that is, the usual food, which made him very uneasy, for fear that these generals would be dissatisfied. He didn't know that these guys who came and went in the wind and rain on the battlefield were just not very particular about food. They could only eat big bowls of meat and big bowls of wine. The big bowls of dishes made by Guo Jingzhi tasted more comfortable. They cared more about some improvements in weapons. While drinking and eating meat, several generals discussed with the craftsmen around them that some weapons needed to be improved. The scene was extremely enthusiastic.

Without the general who led his troops to fight, he did not want the weapons of his soldiers to be sharper.

Gao Yuan was surrounded by Guo Jingzhi and several old craftsmen with white hair. A few younger ones wanted to squeeze in, but they had no place to step on their feet. However, even on the outside, it would not prevent them from staring at Gao Yuan's eyes, looking at Gao Yuan, and pricking up their ears, for fear of missing a word Gao Yuan said.

Every craftsman here knows that the first sketch of the famous Arm-Zhang Bird was drawn by Governor Gao. Over the years, the Arm-Zhang Bird has been continuously improved by the craftsmen, and has undergone earth-shaking changes from the original sketch, and its power has also increased greatly. But without a source, how can there be live water?

I heard that the Shenji Crossbow was the first to come up with the idea and explained the idea. Then several experienced crossbow masters took nearly two years to fix this prototype. It seems that the governor was extremely satisfied. It was a foregone conclusion that these masters could get the official body issued by the East Envoy. Now that they finally had the opportunity to get close contact with the governor, how could they let it go?

"The punching machine you are using now is still insufficient, so 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 really seen it. However, this did not prevent him from giving these craftsmen a special speech. Anyway, they would do the later experiments, and he only needed to propose such a concept.

Listening to Gao Yuan’s story, many craftsmen didn’t care whether they understood or not. They first wrote down every word firmly, and then came to think carefully. Isn’t this how the Shenji Crossbow came from?

Yi Bin walked in in this hot atmosphere. He stood there and looked around for a while. Then he realized Gao Yuan, who was surrounded by craftsmen, immediately rushed over there.

Yi Bin is one of the elderly in the Supervision Bureau and is now the vice president of the Supervision Bureau. However, after Ning Xin arrived, all the foreign affairs he was responsible for had been handed over to Ning Xin. He is now mainly responsible for the action. The layout of the entire Supervision Bureau 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, Ning Xin had just married Gao Yuan, and he was in charge of the Foreign Affairs Department.

Several young craftsmen were squeezed aside by Yi Bin, who was about to express their dissatisfaction, but when they saw the black uniform on the other party, they immediately closed their mouths.

"Governor!" Yi Bin walked to Gao Yuan and shouted softly.

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

"Governor, what happened to Quwo?" Yi Bin said.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly. On the other end of Quwo, there was naturally the King of Yan's Mahal. Since Yi Bin came to find him personally, I was afraid that something was wrong. He turned to Guo Jingzhi and said, "You should continue to discuss with you all the generals. You should pay special attention to the opinions of the generals. I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Yes, the lower lord will send him to the governor!"

"No need to send it, just discuss it with these craftsmen here, summarize, and record the generals' requirements and opinions on weapons. Doing your business well is the greatest respect for me. Do not be above these welcoming and sendings, do you understand?" Gao Yuan waved his hand and left the house directly.

After leaving the yard area, Gao Yuan, surrounded by guards, headed towards the Governor's Office.

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

"Just just now, General Ye Zhen from Tianhe came urgently. The veterans sent by Kong Fang to deliver letters to General Kong De were back, but the news he brought back was that Kong De had been arrested. And then our Supervisory Office also sent back a secret report, which said that it had been confirmed that General Kong De had been killed, and the middle and senior generals who had taken Quwo to him were almost beaten up in one fell swoop." Yi Bin whispered.

With his hands tightened, Gao Yuan stopped the war horse, "Does Kong Fang understand?"

"Not yet. When General Kong Fang comes back this time, he will have to escort a batch of ordnances for the Central Army. Now these ordnances are still loading, and it will probably take two or three days to start."

Gao Yuan took a deep breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, and sighed, "The storm is coming, the wind is coming, let's talk about it later when you go back. Wei Yuan."

He Weiyuan rode his horse to Gao Yuan, "What order does the governor have?"

"You go in person and ask General Kong Fang to come to the Governor's Office, and say I have something important to see him."

When he returned to the Governor's Office, Gao Yuan immediately sent someone to invite Jiang Jiaquan and Ning Xin.

"Have you seen Madam!" Seeing Ning Xin enter the door, Jiang Jiaquan and Yi Bin both stood up and bowed to Ning Xin. Ning Xin used to be polite when she saw Jiang Jiaquan, but now she has different identities, so Jiang Jiaquan is unwilling to lose her politeness.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry!" Ning Xin quickly turned her body halfway, and even Gao Yuan respected Jiang Jiaquan very much. How could she accept Jiang Jiaquan's gift? As for Yi Bin, everyone had been working together for a long time before, and when they saw Yi Bin saluting her with a serious and serious place, they were a little awkward for a while.

"Okay, I'm all my family, so there's no need to be polite." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Sit down, Yi Bin, tell me the information you got again! Let Mr. Jiang and his wife understand the whole story of this matter."

Yi Bin nodded and briefly explained the information that the Supervision Bureau had just obtained. After listening to Yi Bin's story, Jiang Jiaquan thought for a while and looked at Ning Xin, "Madam, you have always been in charge of the Service Department of the Supervision Bureau, and you have always followed up on Quwo's ​​affairs. I want to listen to your thoughts first."

Ning Xin nodded, "After Ji Ling fled to Quwo, the Supervision Bureau strengthened the surveillance there. At first, no abnormality was found. Ji Ling seemed to be taking refuge. He used the tens of thousands of troops in his hands to help the Wei State resist the Qin army in exchange for Quwo, which really made us pay attention to where we discovered the Black Ice Platform suddenly strengthened its activities there. Among them, the most important thing was to discover that Zhang Shuo, the main strategist under Lu Chao, appeared in Quwo and had close contact with Tan Feng, Zhou Yu and others."

"In other words, the Qin people are also making the idea of ​​Quwo." Gao Yuan said.

"Yes, the Qin army led by Lu Chao is now in a deadlock with the Wei and Zhao coalition forces. Wei and Zhao have no power to counterattack, but the Qin people cannot move forward any further. However, if they convince Ji Ling, the Yan army, the Yan army, to rebel, the left-wing defense line of Wei will inevitably be broken, and Daliang will be in crisis."

"Jilin is not so stupid, right? In Quwo, he can still be his mountain king. If he really joins Qin, he is afraid that he will be unavailable for a rich man." Gao Yuan shook his head and said.

"What if it was Tan Feng, what about Zhou Yu and the others?" Ning Xin asked back.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. "Saying this, General Kong De's death is not a matter of suspicion of the isolated incident where General Kong De had an affair with us!"

"If it is an isolated matter, it would be fine, but if this is a cover in a series of conspiracies, then I am sure that the Qin people have controlled the Yan army, Tan Feng, and Zhou Yu have already joined the Qin army, and Wei will suffer a big loss, and we will have to face the Qin army in advance." Ning Xin said.

"Where is Mr. Jiang?" Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Jiaquan.

"Mrs. What Mrs. is concerned about is not unreasonable. We have just finished our relationship with the Donghu and Qi people. Now, the army needs to be repaired, and the results we have obtained must be digested. Finance also needs time to restore vitality. If the road is successful, we will have to face the threat from the Qin people. Therefore, we must formulate strategies in advance to minimize the threat." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Let Ye Zhen immediately deploy his army to the Quwo area on the border between Wei and Yan. At the same time, I'll order the infantry to lead the cavalry back to the Central Army."

"This is probably not enough. Ye Zhen's Central Army also has to deploy troops on the Yanqi border. Now he has not enough troops in his hands." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Appoint the First Division of the Guards led by Yang Dasha to support Ye Zhen, and order Agu Huaien to lead 10,000 Donghu cavalry to go to Ye Zhen's tent to obey the order."

"If Lu Chao takes it as we expected, he will order Ye Zhen to lead his troops to approach and help the Wei people."

"But in this way, we will confront the Qin people directly!" Ning Xin reminded.

Gao Yuan smiled coldly, "The left and right are going to confront each other, and it is just right for our army to try the weight of the Qin people. This battle will only be a local conflict and cannot evolve into a large-scale battle between us and the Qin people. If Ye Zhen fought well and fiercely, he might even let the Qin people's envoys come to our Jishi City again. Now we must not let the Wei people collapse. If the Wei people are completely collapsed, the large-scale conflict between us and the Qin people will truly come."

"Governor Gao Jian, at present, the Wei people need to hold the Qin people back for us." Jiang Jiaquan nodded in agreement. (To be continued. ~ Novel,.) u
