: Going with the flow

Recently, I have been called to the military camp more frequently for partying. I have been doing listening training unremittingly. Day after day, I planned to correct all kinds of strange pronunciation, but suddenly I found that there is no need to bother. I have adapted to the Tang Dynasty version of Night at the Military Port.

, as if this song should have been sung so sinisterly, it was sung wrongly on TV before.

I'm so proud. I have such adaptability. When I go home at night, my feet are as steady as a rock. It seems that not only have I achieved impressive results in listening, but my body's ability to drink has also improved greatly, and my ability to pretend to be drunk has improved from what it used to be.

.

"What are you doing?" I kicked the second lady who was approaching me away from me. This guy has never dared to enter Changmulou in the village since I took care of him. He got sick and turned into glass. Are you trying to trick me?

"Don't come near me, anyone who disobeys my order will be killed!"

"Master Hou, your feet are so strong!" Although the second lady couldn't move at all after being kicked violently, she praised: "It's better than in Chang'an!"

"Oh," he waved his hand. This guy was always like this when he was reporting. He didn't even look at his surroundings to see if he needed to be like this. "If you have something to say, just say it in a sneaky way! It was just the two of us the whole way, and you just sang.

I’m not afraid of people hearing me when I say it, it’s embarrassing and ruining my name!”

"Signal language, you..." Er Niangzi's expressive ability has always been at a low level, and she has not improved after so many years with me, who is very articulate. "If you are free, that Governor Cao would like to ask you to come over tomorrow and give me some advice."

Laughing, I just pretended to be drunk, Cao Jun deliberately mentioned it several times, but I talked nonsense. Before leaving, Cao Jun pulled the two ladies who were already familiar with her to whisper a few words, and I looked at them all.

, pretending to be confused. I thought about it over and over again, and the key was already there

He knew clearly that he was not afraid of reporting his merits through other channels. Even if a small supervisor came to Beijing, he was not qualified to receive the meeting from Du Lao Yao. There were so many supervisors in the Tang Dynasty who wanted to meet the Chairman of the Military Commission. It took time to meet them all.

I'm afraid I have to calculate it on a yearly basis.

As for the origin of Zhaojun's noble family, I started to inquire about it when Cao Jun started studying flag language and it aroused my idea. What I should worry about is the least of my worries. It's just a noble family. I hope to have a good reputation and background. The literati use it to enhance their status.

An excuse, these days you have a good career only if you have a good background, and once you are in the official career

Achievements in politics can also improve the status of the family, and they complement each other. But Cao Junhui was reluctant to join a prominent family. He was a sideline son-in-law who could not be beaten by eight sticks. Someone who can rely on the connections will never run to Lingnan. It is really

I have no choice but to settle down in this poor place, spend time in the army to gain qualifications, and slowly transfer to a better place.

If he hadn't made outstanding achievements in Bisha City Port back then, it would have been difficult for him to even come to Lingnan. Speaking of which, he also had a poor background. Once such a person can seize a reliable relationship, he will never let go. It's not me who is arresting him now, it's him

Want to catch me.

My various actions gave Cao Jun great hope. I was approachable and courteous on the scene, but when I got to the wine table, I became bold and forthright. People who often go to banquets understand this. If there is a superior person who can drink a lot at the wine table,

Drunk to the point of losing

When you are in this attitude, it means that he is at ease with you, has a good impression of you, even appreciates and trusts you. A small supervisor can exchange cups and cups with the big officials from the capital, sing ditties, and beat the entourage. To Cao Jun, it can be said that

It's a huge opportunity.

He dropped his smile and glared at Er Niangzi. "When did you learn how to communicate across the wall? How much money has been collected from Cao Jun, take it out and divide it in half!"

"No, you are unjustly accusing me." The second lady knew the seriousness of it, so she quickly replied to avoid my misunderstanding. They are both martial arts practitioners, and they would make gestures on the school field even if they had nothing to do. Although they didn't think much of Cao Jun's martial arts, it didn't matter.

The more we get along, the more harmonious they are. In the words of Er Niangzi, the scene is a lively one, and if you try your best, the three Cao Jun are not good enough, and they are not on the same level as the veterans who have come from the battlefield in the Forbidden Army in the middle of the capital.

This is true. Cao Jun said that he participated in a series of battles on the Korean Peninsula, but the naval force has never fought head-on with the enemy. He is just a small leader of the logistics support force and has never experienced life and death. I am more interested in such people.

Don't worry, if they are generals who have gone through the test of life and death and come off the battlefield, I will never touch people like Mr. Cheng. I simply can't catch these guys. It's not yet certain who will take whom.

I went to the appointment early in the morning and made nice remarks when we met. "Brothers are attracted to each other. When we go to the wine table, we are confused. This time we are greedy. Haha..." He patted Cao Jun on the shoulder and pointed to the second lady behind him, "If

It’s not that I was reminded of the killing early in the morning, but I didn’t

I know the progress of the supervisor's discussion about the flag language yesterday, so why don't you delay the matter? No, I came here early in the morning, and my forehead still hurts." It made him think that I didn't take the flag language seriously at all, and came because I was hurt by the second lady.

Reminder, it’s not easy to refute Cao Jun just to save face.

Cao Jun glanced at the second wife gratefully, and quickly gave me a military salute with utmost respect. The soldiers in front opened the way and went straight to the ship to watch the military exercise under the unified command of flags and drums. It was such a big scene that even the patrol yachts were dispatched, and there were many people on the bay.

Several

Ten battleships, it seems that Cao Jun wanted to leave a deep impression on me, and he did not hesitate to give me the commander-in-chief's stand. Two flag-bearers stood on the newly erected command posts on the tower ship and the main battleship.

, the white flag can be seen clearly from a high place.

After the three-tone drum of the building ship sounded, there was no response from other ships. There was silence on the water. They waited quietly for the main ship to raise the crimson flag, which represented that the overall command of the fleet was issued by the building ship. Then the communications troops on the main battleship fought on

The standby signal was played on the starting platform, and the excitement was no longer the same as the last time when the drums and trumpets shook the sky.

The order was conveyed verbally from Cao Jun to the flag bearer. After the hand flag was waved several times, it was conveyed to the command platform, and then quickly conveyed to each battle order from the command platform. The marching formation unfolded in an orderly manner while maintaining silence. Dozens of ships, large and small, silently

Traveling at high speed on the sea level, compared to the deafening golden drums sounding last time, it is still

This kind of murderous intent in silence can give people a strong sense of oppression. The sea breeze rustled, and the command flags were blowing. Cao Jun on the command platform adjusted the formation of the fleet with a serious face, sometimes without even speaking, a professional

After making the gesture, the flag bearer immediately had to issue the order. I was oppressed by this murderous atmosphere and had difficulty breathing.

It wasn't until the fighting ship quickly passed by the building that I realized that the marching formation had changed into a battle formation to meet the enemy on the battlefield. The sterns' rows stirred up waves and followed the fast-moving fighting ship. The fighting ship sent back

Three drums sound, indicating that the enemy fleet has entered

The long-range strike range of the building ship, the soldiers on the deck here are on standby, the trebuchet pulls up the long axis amidst the shouts, the spear throwers are in position. The crossbowmen are in place, the trebuchet is ready, and all the soldiers will enter in an instant

In a state of battle, the uniform echoes of the orders made the blood boil with excitement.

When Cao Junji issued the order, I tried to take a deep breath, and then I realized that the fingers tightly clenched on the railing of the handsome building had lost their blood and were numb. The second lady beside me was sweating coldly.

He opened his mouth and gasped, and when he looked at Cao Jun, his eyes were wrong. He admired him.

I also feel a little bit like this. Every time I get on the ship, I can't help but feel a little admiration. In the military camp, I am the boss and the Marquis, but when I get on the ship, I feel like I have entrusted my life to Cao Jun. No,

I dare not be a little bit crooked, I dare not be a little disrespectful. If I were to fight on the battlefield, he would have given me a spear and asked me to fight. I guess I would obey unconditionally. It is really possible, a very strange chemical reaction,

This guy is an excellent general material.

After the building ship lowered the sea lican, Cao Jun made a gesture to the signal soldiers. After a hand flag order was issued, the building ship suddenly lowered the flag, stopped the ship and exited the battle sequence, and a fighting ship close to the building ship quickly raised the red command flag.

An order drum sounded, announcing that the warship had lost its combat capability, and the command of the fleet was fully taken over by the fighting ship that raised the order flag.

"So we've been killed?" He finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the battleships in front of him rearranged the battle order. He forced a smile towards Cao Jun and said calmly: "It scares me to see it," he said, kicking the stone.

The second lady of the land said, "This killer is so tough."

Cao Jun cupped his fists humbly. "I don't dare, you're flattering me. The flag language still needs to be perfected, but its effectiveness can be seen in the drill," he said, pointing to the constantly changing formations and flags in front of him, "Usually in water battles,

Once the battleship is destroyed, the entire war situation is irreversible. There are many orders, and although the battleship is large,

It is also difficult to communicate effectively. The battleships lose their response, forming a situation of fighting independently, which is easy to be defeated by the enemy. Now the command flags and hand flags echo each other from a distance. Even if a few ships are lost, it does not matter the overall situation. As long as there are big ships, such as fighting

It can handle ships, sterns and even boats, and it can take care of the overall situation of the battle."

The two wives understood it and nodded stupidly. This is why Cao Jun tried his best to make me understand the importance of it, and even used an all-round military exercise to shake my nerves. How could I not know the key points?

The rice inside is almost ripe, very solemn

He nodded and clasped his fists towards Cao Jun in a standard military manner, "You are indeed a great talent. After watching this military exercise, I suddenly became enlightened and realized that it is imperative for the Navy to implement the flag slogan! Having Cao as the governor is a blessing to the Navy. The imperial court

It is Wang's blessing to be able to meet such talents."

"It is imperative" is said very hard. Logically speaking, I shouldn't say this. It doesn't work because of my status. If Du Feng said it, it would be appropriate. A few military bosses can occasionally express this tone. Isn't it my turn?

Even if I, a bad boy, coughs, I can't express all the value even if I say it. This requires facial expressions to match, Zhuang

Serious, serious, with a promising tone, not because of this merit, but because of the responsibility for the development of the Tang Navy and not giving up until the goal is achieved. Cao Jun thought that I would shoulder this heavy responsibility even if I was a sea of ​​swords and mountains of fire.

A good general serves the country with loyalty and does not care about personal gains and losses.

What is not mentioned then is that one will sacrifice his life and blood for a better tomorrow for the Tang Dynasty Navy; the other is that Tie Shu meets a good Bole who appreciates his talents; as for the battle formation during the military exercise ahead, no one except the second lady cares about it, Cao Jun

Tearful and excited, I looked complacent. The two held hands, heart to heart, and sang the Tang Dynasty, My Mother...

I washed my hands and ended it as soon as I felt disgusted. Cao Jun was as excited as if I was getting married when he learned that I planned to buy a family property here. When I ran to Qinggu with my second wife to go to the planned site, I suddenly felt that I had gone the wrong way.

place, thousands of acres of land covered with thick soil

The thick layer of vegetation disappeared, leaving only some herbaceous plants lingering in grievance. Not even a tree stump was left, and even small ravines were leveled... Oh my God, this land is not considered the Wang family now, why?

Just...how can I explain this to someone else?

Repairing the military camp, this is what Cao Jun explained to me. He pointed to the wooden beams of various lengths and thicknesses piled up in the military camp with an apologetic expression. The general idea was that the military camp must be reinforced during the windy season, and a suitable boundary has not been found.

Cutting wood, this time he heard that I wanted Qinggu. He thought that he already knew me well and didn’t need to say hello. He took advantage of the Wang family and privately ordered his soldiers to cut down all the vegetation in Qinggu. He felt apologetic afterwards and asked me not to blame him.

Of course I don’t blame it. The Manchurian Communist Party doesn’t have many usable logs. It also never counts those miscellaneous broken trees as assets of the Wang family. To put it bluntly, it’s too easy to find good timber in Lingnan. Crazy people eat too much.

After that, I went to Qinggu to find wood to build the military fortress. Even if it was used as firewood, it would have to dry for several months before it could be burned.

He knows how to be a human being. I had a strange feeling that Cao Jun on the ground and Cao Jun on the boat were not the same person. He smiled strangely and patted Cao Jun on the shoulder, "Actually... I've always wanted you to help me with this. One by one.

I forgot about Brother Cao’s heart, haha..."

Cao Jun and I looked at each other and laughed, then took out a notebook and handed it to me, "This is the flag code that General Mo has compiled over the past few days. Please take a look at it. If there are any inaccuracies, please take the trouble to correct me."

I dare not correct you, but the Cao Cao Dian is indeed well written. My name is in the first line of the prologue. It was my inspiration and guidance that led to the birth of the semaphore, and Cao Jun only placed himself in the position of the executor of the drill.

If Ji takes credit, I take the lead.

After flipping through two pages, he shook his head with a smile, asked for pen and ink to cross out my name and deeds, and solemnly wrote the words Cao Jun on the cover. He smiled and said: "That's right. Take my unintentional drunken words."

It’s really nothing to go and get the credit. If you record the credit, the court has no practice of giving credit to drunkards.”

Cao Jun was a little surprised, dazed, and uncomfortable. After reacting, he didn't know what to do. He gestured at me a few times at a loss. It seemed that he was hesitating. After all, the temptation to take all the credit is still very fatal. It is difficult for anyone to resist.

. He adjusted in an instant and insisted on adding my name. The two of them went one after another. Cao Jun's only concession was to write his own name in front of it, and he was embarrassed for a long time.
To be continued...
