If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

The civil official who was being scolded wanted to retaliate, but when he looked at the civil officials around him, he realized that they did not seem to be united against the military group as before, but were instead intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from him.

Just as he was puzzled, his gaze fell on the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. The emperor's sharp eyes startled him so much that he immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.

“Little Gao Liguo, does he really think I, Da Long, am afraid of him? Gu Changqing, Lu Da, Zhang Liao, Pei Yuanfei.”

"The minister is here."

The four men whose names were called knew that being called by His Majesty at this moment meant that their mission to accompany the army on the expedition was secured, and they immediately stepped forward excitedly and responded.

"With Gu Changqing as the Grand General, Lu Da as the Left Vanguard, Zhang Liao as the Right Vanguard, and Pei Yuanfei as the Military Advisor, lead an army of 100,000 and set off immediately to conquer Gao Liguo. We must let them know that our Great Dragon is not to be trifled with."

"promise."

After Li Tiancheng made his arrangements, some military officers were pleased with themselves, while others were envious and disappointed.

The civil officials chose to remain silent. Normally, a few civil officials would have jumped out to express their opposition, but today was different.

His Majesty the Emperor is already furious. In addition, Zhou Wu's remarks a few days ago, which advocated no marriage alliances, no indemnities, no ceding of territory, no tribute, and that the emperor should guard the nation's gates and the monarch should die for the country, have spread among the people and stirred up a wave of patriotism throughout the Great Dragon Empire. At this time, jumping out to oppose him would only be asking for trouble.

"Your Majesty, may I ask who should be appointed as the baggage officer?"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Gu Changqing suddenly spoke up again, but his question was rather strange.

"Does Duke Gu have a suitable candidate?"

The logistics officer was a very important position. Although he did not have to fight on the front lines, he was responsible for the logistics of the entire army, including food, clothing, and shelter. However, in the past, no one would pay special attention to this position.

Because the position of supply officer is simply a duty with no real merit if done well, but if food arrives late, supplies are scarce, and morale is affected, then the consequences are severe. Therefore, generally no one is willing to take on this position voluntarily, nor would they recommend their own confidants for it.

Why would Gu Changqing publicly raise this question at this time? Could it be that someone has offended him and he wants to take this opportunity to retaliate?

Not only did the officials think this way, but even Emperor Li Tiancheng thought so. However, Gu Changqing was not only a Duke, but also his sworn brother, so Li Tiancheng would not embarrass his brother because of an outsider.

"Gao Liguo is surrounded by the sea on three sides, giving it a unique geographical advantage. This battle cannot be won without the support of its naval vessels. Therefore, I suggest that Zhou Wu, the naval commander of the Great Dragon Empire, serve as the supply officer for this mission."

"Ah~~~"

Everyone was stunned: Li Tiancheng, Lu Da, and all the officials.

In everyone's perception, Zhou Wu and Gu Changqing have a very close relationship, so no one can understand what Gu Changqing is really planning.

"allow."

Li Tiancheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he immediately agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

. . . . . . .

After the court session ended, Gu Changqing and Lu Da walked together.

"Brother, what do you mean? Did Xiao Zhouwu offend you? If he did anything wrong, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Lu Da couldn't understand it at all. Just a few days ago, the three of them were drinking and having fun. Why did the eldest brother and the third brother suddenly turn against each other?

"No."

"Brother, don't lie to me. If Xiao Zhouwu didn't offend you, why did you make him that damn supply officer? It's thankless work and he's easy to get blamed."

"Haha, second brother, in your eyes, I am just a petty person who uses public office to settle personal scores."

"That's not it."

Lu Da pondered for a moment, then shook his head dismissively. He knew Gu Changqing; the other party would never have such ulterior motives.

"Have you forgotten? His Majesty said that he would focus on cultivating our third brother, who is the next successor."

Some things are best left unsaid. Although Lu Da wasn't clever, he wasn't stupid either. He immediately understood and his face lit up with a smile.

"understood?"

"Okay, I understand. You should have said so earlier, brother. I thought you two had a fight."

“Even if we make a contribution in this expedition to Gaoli Kingdom, it would be a waste given our current status. We might as well give the credit to our third brother, and he can also take this opportunity to grow.”

"Brother is indeed clever. You're in a good mood today, how about we go for a drink, brother?"

Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, Lu Da, without a care in the world, invited his elder brother Gu Changqing to go for drinks.

"Come on, drink whether you're happy or not. His Majesty has ordered us to set out on the expedition immediately, so we need to hurry up and prepare. You should go back and get ready."

"Oh."

Lu Da was naturally disappointed that he couldn't drink any wine, but there were indeed more important things to do right now.

The urgent military order quickly reached Zhou Wu, who was bewildered by the sudden appointment.

"I'm busy with major development projects, why would I be the logistics manager?"

Zhou Wu naturally didn't know the reason behind it, but once the military order was given, he had no choice but to comply.

"Go and fetch Madam Lin."

"It's an adult."

This mission mainly involves sea transport, and the logistics team will not be involved in the fighting. However, just to be on the safe side, Zhou Wu decided to bring Lin Niangzi, who is more skilled in naval warfare, instead of Niu Er.

"The master is looking for me?"

"Yes, the imperial court has decided to send troops to Gaoli Kingdom and has appointed me as the supply officer. Gaoli Kingdom is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so I have decided to use seagoing vessels to transport supplies, which will save time and allow for a larger transport volume."

"Your analysis is correct. Sea transport and land transport not only have larger volumes, but also save on labor costs. So, should we only bring the Bull Demon King level?"

"Well, we basically have no chance of directly participating in the war, and the opponent is Gao Liguo. Bull Demon King is enough, but Azure Dragon is not worthy."

Zhou Wu never thought much of Gaoliguo. What was there to be proud of in a country made up of a bunch of arrogant people?

"Let's bring the artillery, just in case."

"it is good."

Because this force numbered a full 100,000, Zhou Wu essentially brought out all the Bull Demon Kings he had at his disposal.

Standing on the dock, even Zhou Wu, the head of the family, was shocked to see the entire sea area teeming with Bull Demon Kings.

Am I that rich?

Looking at the dozens of Bull Demon King-class ships quietly resting on the sea, Zhou Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Many of them have already replaced their heavy crossbows with cannons, which is one of Zhou Wu's equipment replacement plans. The first step is to replace all his armed ships with cannons, but due to the tight schedule, only about thirty cannons have been put into service so far.
