"Lord, great victory!"
Zhang Yun walked into the tent, his face full of excitement.
Boss Cao was also excited, but he did not show it on the surface.
"Tell me, how was the battle?"
"Reporting to my lord, our Jingzhou army has wiped out more than ten thousand enemies this time. We have sunk two enemy turreted ships and dozens of small warships!”
"Good!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed. After all, this was the first time his army had won a great victory in River East.
However, Cao Cao noticed that the other party was referring to the Jing State Army and had some thoughts.
Guo Jia saw everything.
"Prime Minister, this time we fought a fierce battle with Jiangdong. Fortunately, we have two generals, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who are familiar with water warfare. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult to win.”
Zhang Yun was even more pleased when he heard Guo Jia praising them.
However, Cao Cao paused for a moment before understanding.
He really couldn't make a move on these two people now, at least not before he defeated Jiang Dong!
"General Zhang has worked hard this time. The reward is a hundred taels and a hundred bolts of Shu brocade. When we return to Xudu, I will ask for another reward for General Zhang!”
"Thank you, my lord."
……
After the battle report was completed, Guo Jia returned to his tent.
He had to think about what to do next.
For some reason, he felt uneasy.
Although things were currently developing according to the plot he was familiar with.
Zhuge Liang's plan was indeed far beyond ordinary people, but was the other party really that simple?
"Husband, is there something troubling you?”
Huang Yueying looked at Guo Jia and frowned.
Although the two of them were not married yet, Huang Yueying still changed the way she addressed him under Guo Jia's strong request.
Guo Jia had thought that his opponent's traps might be helpful in the battle of Red Cliff, so he had brought Huang Yueying along.
As for whether he had other thoughts, that was not known to outsiders.
Chen Qun and the others had also gone to Boss Cao for this matter, but in the end, it was left unsettled.
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking of a plan to defeat the enemy. Madam, don't worry.”
"By the way, has there been any progress in Madam's crossbow research?”
Guo Jia suddenly asked.
Huang Yueying's eyebrows showed a hint of excitement.
"Fortunately, with husband's guidance, I've made some improvements these two days. If nothing unexpected happens, it can already be used for military purposes!”
As the inventor of the repeating crossbow, Huang Yueying was extremely proud.
After all, compared to traditional repeating crossbows, this new type of repeating crossbow was a great improvement in terms of range, power, and the elimination of the need to change the arrow frequently!
"Alright, Madam, quickly show it to me!”
Guo Jia took the blueprints from Huang Yueying and began to study them carefully.
Each blueprint had the specific shape and size of one of the components drawn on it, as well as a detailed description.
The last blueprint was the assembly steps of this new crossbow.
With Guo Jia's foresight, it was not difficult to see what kind of killing weapon this crossbow would be once it was invented!
"Furen's crossbow is truly ingenious!”
Guo Jia sighed. It was not easy to invent such a powerful crossbow in this era!
Huang Yueying smiled sweetly when she heard Guo Jia's praise. To her, there was nothing more blissful than receiving the praise of her beloved.
"This is all thanks to husband. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this new type of repeating crossbow would not have been able to appear.”
"I wonder if Furen can give this crossbow a name?”
Huang Yueying shook her head.
However, he immediately thought of something." Let's call it the Feather-chasing Crossbow!”
After saying that, he glanced at Guo Jia. Only he could understand the affection in his eyes.
"Alright."
Guo Jia didn't hesitate and directly agreed.
He did not go so far as to be polite with the other party. After all, the two of them were already husband and wife. It would not be good to be overly pretentious.
However, Guo Jia thought about the scenario where he could successfully create and use the Feather-chasing Crossbow.
If they were installed on the warships, the Cao army's combat strength would be greatly enhanced!
In this way, he was more confident in fighting against the Jiangdong Navy!
"Furen, you should rest in the tent first. I will go see Prime Minister Cao first.”
Guo Jia's cheek touched the other party's cheek and they parted. Then, he left Huang Yueying, who was blushing, and went to find Boss Cao with the blueprint.
There were priorities, and he was still clear about this.
……
"Zhuiyu left and returned. What's the matter?”Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in confusion.
"Happy news, great happy news!"
As soon as Guo Jia spoke, Boss Cao became even more curious.
After all, he had never seen Guo Jia so agitated.
Guo Jia didn't keep him in suspense and directly handed the blueprint to Boss Cao.
"Prime Minister, please take a look. This is a new type of crossbow that my wife has recently developed. It's called the Feather-chasing Crossbow!”
Cao Cao took the blueprint and began to study it carefully.
Although he didn't understand the mechanism, he could tell how powerful this new crossbow was from the description!
"Feather, can the repeating crossbow on this blueprint really be produced?”
Boss Cao's face was filled with disbelief, and his eyeballs were about to fall out. This almost overturned his understanding!
"Prime Minister, don't worry. Zhuiyu is willing to guarantee with his life that this Zhuiyu Repeating Crossbow will definitely be created!”
"Even if there are some minor flaws, it won't affect the whole after a slight modification!”
Guo Jia looked serious.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"The heavens are helping me!"
"Zhuiyu, you don't have to be like this. I believe in you. The craftsmen in Cao Cao's camp will be at your disposal. You must make this first Feather-chasing Repeating Crossbow as soon as possible!”
Boss Cao looked excited.
Once this crossbow was manufactured, defeating the Jiangdong Navy would be a piece of cake!
