Chapter 84: Captain Cao
Jian Shuo did not break his promise, and sent someone to send the waist card and the appointment letter of Captain Cao.
Lu Yao played the waist card and glanced at the personal panel. The military rank has become Captain Cao, who can command a thousand troops. However, the rank of Captain Dian Cao is better than nothing, but the meaning of the representation is completely different.
The player clears out the bandits and rogues to obtain meritorious promotions, and is not in the general sequence of the NPC forces. Although they are also Captain Cao, the Captain of Captain Cao personally appointed by the Imperial Court is an official position recognized by NPC forces. It's just that the lieutenant of Dian Cao is a small officer, and he can only be regarded as entering the eyes of NPC officials.
Just sent away the people sent by Jian Shuo, and not long after, He Jin sent someone over to spread the word and arranged Lu Yao to manage the logistics baggage in the No. 1 warehouse of the baggage camp. After sending the little colonel away, Lu Yao returned to the house.
"How to make meritorious contributions to managing logistics?" Lu Yao took the glass of water handed by Cai Yan and frowned slightly.
Managing logistics is a big deal. The post-war credit is not small. He Jin arranged for him to manage logistics, which was definitely a beauty in the eyes of others. Lying down and taking credit without going to the battlefield to take risks is often only qualified for those officials who have extremely hard backing.
But he always found the appointment very strange.
"The lord doesn't know what's going on, can you tell Zhao Ji about it?" Cai Yan sat down next to him, holding his chin with his right hand and looking at Lu Yao curiously.
"General He arranged for me to manage the No. 1 warehouse of the baggage battalion. I think there seems to be a catch. Lu Yao didn't hide it, and put the appointment letter and his waist card on the table.
Cai Yan swept his eyes and said with a grin: "Captain Cao is the successor to the post of military rations. It seems that Jian Shuo values the lord very much. ”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Then he wants me to make meritorious service?" It's a lot of credit for the army's rations, but it's not what we want. ”
Cai Yan covered his mouth and chuckled, and explained in detail: "Lord, this is exactly where Jian Shuo is shrewd. He knew that the lord had a gap with He Jin, so he deliberately asked for a lieutenant for the lord. In order to facilitate his activities, he sent the lord to escort grain and grass to the left or right army. The courage of the soldiers, and the grain is the root of the soldiers. The Yellow Turban thief Kou is a poor people, and the people are miserable, so they raise an army to rebel. The lord escorts grain and grass, and he will definitely become fat in the eyes of the yellow turban thief. There is no need for the lord to look around, the yellow turban thieves naturally flock here. ”
After listening to Cai Yan's explanation, Lu Yao's eyes lit up. It was only then that he realized that although he had the advantage of being a player, these NPCs were not simple-minded idiots.
Yesterday, He Jin was about to officially take office as a general. As a relative, he lacked prestige in the army and convincing achievements. That's why he personally went out to greet him, wanting to use himself to establish his image of being eager to be talented. Before leaving, Ding Yan analyzed it very thoroughly, so didn't he also take this opportunity to leave a backhand in He Fu.
He Jin is thirsty for talent. Lu Yao knew that He Jin hated him to the core, and there was basically no room for maneuver. Knowing that he was invited by Jian Shuo to enter Beijing, He Jin simply calculated and arranged him to the baggage camp. Although the credit will not be less, it can prevent Jian Shuo's purpose of wanting to take charge of the army.
In the final analysis, the official position of Captain Cao is nothing more than a battlefield for power and profit between two forces.
"If it comes, it will be safe, and the lord will just go with the flow." Cai Yan smiled and poured a glass of water for Lu Yao.
"Okay, I'll go to this No. 1 library first to see if He Jin will do anything here." Lu Yao picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, and left the room with the appointment letter and waist card.
Lu Yao first rode to the Dongdaying, which was twenty miles outside Luoyang City. After checking the waist plate, a colonel led the way and led him to the quartermaster.
"You're the new Captain Cao?" The quartermaster was a fat man, squinting his eyes up and down, but he didn't even look at the letter of appointment.
"Exactly." Lu Yao hugged his fists and saluted.
"Okay, come on, take him to the No. 1 warehouse." The quartermaster threw the appointment letter back, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands, with a look of disgust, as if he would get sick if he touched something Lu Yao had touched.
Lu Yao smiled faintly. This is the unified attitude of NPC officials towards Inhumans. Otherwise, players who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms will not be useless, and there are few players who have caught up with NPC forces so far.
Soon a junior colonel came in and took Lu Yao out of Dongdaying and rushed to Luoyang City. Jiazi No. 1 library is located in the east of Luoyang City. This is just one of thousands of warehouses. Even if it was just a warehouse, it made Lu Yao's eyes twitch.
There are twenty granaries that are just ten feet high. The high-grade granary is only about four feet.
The 300 soldiers on duty at the No. 1 warehouse saw that someone was coming, and immediately surrounded them. Dense spears brushed in front of Lu Yao's horse.
"This is the new Captain Cao." Xiao Xiao hurriedly identified himself.
The three centurions separated from the crowd and walked to the front, looking up and down at Lu Yao, who was sitting on the snow-stepping black horse. One of the centurions arched his hand perfunctorily, and said with a hippie smile: "The last general is in armor, and he will not be able to salute." I beg your pardon. ”
Lu Yao turned over and dismounted, and he was not angry. His gaze swept over the three hundred soldiers in front of him. These soldiers are obviously veterans. One by one is disheveled. There are quite a few people who still smell of alcohol. It can be smelled from several meters away. Usually there are few people here. They had obviously just received a new official to take office, so they crawled out of the wine jar and pretended to be.
"I want inventory." Lu Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with these low-level NPCs, so he went straight to the point.
The three centurions looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. No one expected that the new Captain Cao would have to take stock as soon as he took office. There was a sudden silence all around, and all the three hundred soldiers were nervous, and their eyes were on them.
"Captain, this ......" The centurion who had just spoken laughed dryly, his attitude significantly lowered.
Lu Yao smiled without saying a word, took out the waist card and threw it over.
The centurion hurriedly caught the waist card, his face suddenly became bitter, and he turned his head and shouted: "The captain has an order, open the warehouse and take inventory." ”
Three hundred soldiers snorted, and some of them were weak. The following detachment led by three centurions led the way in front. Lu Yao followed behind and could see clearly, more than two-thirds of the soldiers were secretly pushing each other. He smiled in his heart and didn't say much.
Pangu is set very realistically. The court was corrupt in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The entire bureaucratic system has worked up and down, so that the people are not able to make a living. This led to the Yellow Turban Uprising. These soldiers guarded the No. 1 warehouse of Jiazi, and they must have made a lot of oil and water from it. The big ones don't dare, and they still dare to sneak some grain and grass armor to exchange for money.
It's a pity that they didn't know that Lu Yao was also playing the idea of the No. 1 library at the moment.
Three hundred soldiers moved in front of the No. 1 warehouse. The three centurions walked up to Lu Yao and said with a dry smile: "I don't know if the captain wants to take stock of the grain and grass or the armor and weapons first?" ”
Lu Yao smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, just take stock of Hyogo." The granary will be counted by you, and the captain of the school will also explain to the above. ”
The three centurions were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their eyebrows, and said in unison: "We will not live up to the trust of the captain." ”
