"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully using the scheme. Reward: Wooden Ox Horse Blueprint (improved)"
After the great battle, Guo Yu's scheme succeeded and he obtained another good thing.
He felt something heavy in his arms and reached out his hand. A thin booklet appeared.
He flipped it open and saw that it was the same as the previous ship craft book. It was also filled with dense drawings. Beside the illustrations, there were some annotations that clearly marked everything.
"The improved wooden ox can at least save ten times the manpower, right? It's good stuff, but I feel like someone is at a disadvantage…"
Thinking of an old friend who had defected to Liu Bei, Guo Yu revealed a strange smile.
"Huang Yuying loves to study this kind of blueprint! Unfortunately, she's far away in Xiangyang…"
Guo Yu drew a few pictures according to the blueprint of the wooden ox and horse, but he deliberately hid the most crucial manufacturing skills and sent them to the Huang family in Xiangyang.
"If you want to know the detailed technique, then you have to come over in person!”
Guo Yu smiled smugly when he thought of her angry expression after seeing the half-finished blueprint.
……
Ling Tong was injured and after recuperating in Liyang for a few days, he was back to normal.
Thus, Guo Yu brought Ling Tong and his family back to Xu City.
"You are the Ling Tong and Ling Gongji that Teacher has praised many times?”
Cao Cao examined Ling Tong, feeling curious about this young general that Guo Yu had high hopes for.
Ling Tong immediately cupped his fists.”
Cao Cao saw Ling Tong's strong body and loud voice and liked him. He lifted Ling Tong's sleeves and saw that his body was covered in scars. He nodded.
"I heard that you wanted to kill Gan Ning with your ship to avenge you, but you insisted on doing it yourself.”
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, how can I rely on others to avenge my father? Although I am grateful for your good intentions, I dare not do this.”
"I can tell that you are a loyal and filial person! The Han Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the foundation of everything! Sun Quan forbade you from seeking justice for your father. This action goes against human nature and goes against the teachings of my Great Han Dynasty! Fortunately, you left this person. Otherwise, you would have been infected by this person's habits in the future!”
Ling Tong was originally afraid that Cao Cao would say that he was a traitor, but after hearing Cao Cao's words, he believed it and his impression of Sun Quan completely changed.
"Prime Minister is right! The entire Sun family was filled with wolves and wolves. When Sun Jian obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, he had the intention of disobeying the court. Sun Ce then gathered a crowd to rebel in Yangzhou. His father and brother were like this, so naturally, Sun Quan was like this! If it wasn't for Teacher pointing out the path for me, I would still be muddleheaded.”
Cao Cao saw that he was so understanding and was even more delighted."No wonder Teacher praised you so many times. You are indeed a smart person! In that case, I'll make you a lieutenant…"
Guo Yu coughed and interrupted Cao Cao.
"Gongji, wait here for a moment. I have something to say to the Prime Minister.”
Guo Yu gave Cao Cao a look and the two of them went to the back.
Ling Tong's eyes flashed with regret,[The lieutenant is a military official of the middle two thousand koku and county governor level. If he can do this, it will be enough to bring glory to his ancestors!] However, it seemed that Sir was unwilling to do so! Sigh, I was too greedy.
Cao Cao followed Guo Yu to the back and was puzzled.""Didn't you ask me to put this person in an important position? Why did he stop her? Could it be that Teacher realized that he wasn't qualified to take on this great responsibility?”
"Of course not!" Guo Yu shook his head. I just want to say that the position of lord given by the prime minister is not bad, but it is a pity that the title is too weak. It is not enough to stimulate Sun Quan and shake the heart of the Jiangdong old general!”
"Sir, you mean…"
"Ling Tong rebelled against Sun Quan. The old generals of River East like Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, as well as the commoners, only lamented that Sun Quan forced Ling Tong to rebel. If the Prime Minister appointed Ling Tong as the Navy Viceroy, he would be in charge of recruiting soldiers, training soldiers, and building ships. The talents of Jiangdong would flock to the Prime Minister in the future. As long as there was a chance, they would come to the Prime Minister! In addition, when the Prime Minister led his army south, the people of Jiangdong were more willing to submit to the Prime Minister and resist the immoral Sun Quan!”
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this. He had never thought that just giving him an official position would have such a wonderful effect!
"Sir's wise words are truly admirable! Since that was the case, everything would be done according to Sir's instructions!”
After the two of them came out, Cao Cao smiled and patted Ling Tong,"Just now, no one in my army knows how to fight on water. If I go south in the future, you will be the number one in the army! Today, I will appoint you as the navy's viceroy and let you be in charge of all matters regarding the navy. From the establishment of the navy to the use of troops in the future, you will be in charge! What do you think?"
Ling Tong's head was buzzing as he listened!
"Navy, Viceroy!"
"Isn't that the identity of Zhou Yu from Jiangdong and Cai Mao from Jingzhou?”
"What qualifications do I have to take on such a great responsibility?”
"Prime Minister, Ling Tong is terrified!"
Ling Tong was indeed terrified. He directly bowed and cupped his hands, not daring to accept it.
Cao Cao pulled him up and laughed,""If you don't believe me when I say you're a genius, then how can you not believe me when Sir says you're a genius?”
Ling Tong suddenly raised his head and looked at Guo Yu in disbelief."Sir, you actually trust me so much?”
"If not, why would I personally take the risk to help you escape?" Guo Yu chuckled.”
Ling Tong was stunned for a moment. Of course, he didn't know the meaning behind Guo Yu's actions. After thinking about it, he felt that the reason why Guo Yu, who was in the limelight, saved him was because of his ability. There was no other reason!
"So, I have such an ability!”Ling Tong was touched by Guo Yu's appreciation of him, but he was also surprised by his ability that he did not realize.
"Since Mister thinks so, then I will definitely not disappoint Mister. In the future, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will repay Mister for his appreciation and support!”
Guo Yu waved his hand." I'm just putting in a good word for you here with the Prime Minister. Whether you can sit in this position in the future depends on yourself." If you do well, the Prime Minister will naturally reward you. If you don't do well, even if I put in a good word for you, the Prime Minister can't use a useless person.”
Ling Tong nodded vigorously." I know. I will remember your teachings!" From now on, I will definitely use this as an encouragement. I won't forget Mister's exhortation to build an elite navy for the Prime Minister!”
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw Guo Yu's words make Ling Tong look like he had been injected with chicken blood.
However, after Ling Tong left, Cao Cao was confused,"Didn't Mister want to use the Jing State Navy for me? Why are you bringing up the matter of building a navy again?”
Guo Yu smiled." It's just for show. A well-trained navy needs several years. How can it be that easy?" I only wanted Ling Tong to create a great reputation on the river and let the old officials of River East see that the Prime Minister did not give him a false reputation, but really put him in an important position and gave him real power!”
"If that's the case, then those Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and the like who were neglected by Sun Quan must be dreaming of admiring Ling Tong. At the same time, they must be even more resentful of Sun Quan!" Sir, this is a plan to kill the heart!"
