After thinking about the treatment at the Shu Han side, and then looking at the current treatment, Yang Yi felt even more regretful:
"If I stay in the west, even if I can't take power, others may not dare to openly neglect me like this."
Just thinking of his hard work over the years, the Prime Minister would rather give power to a junior than trust himself.
The resentment in Yang Yi's heart suddenly became higher than when she was in Guanzhong.
"If not, how could I have ended up in such a situation? After all, it's not the Prime Minister's unfair rewards and punishments, but Feng Thief's arrogance and domineering behavior?"
snort!
While he was having some random thoughts, Deng Yang finally put away all the drawings and said to Yang Yi:
"Mr. Yang knows what is right and what is wrong. If you want to avoid disaster, follow the path. It is very good to go back to the road. It must be hard to come all the way at this time, so why not go down and rest first."
"This matter is of great importance. How about I report it to the general and see how the general decides?"
At this point, what else could Yang Yi say? Naturally, whatever the other party said would be whatever he said.
After making arrangements for Yang Yi, Deng Yang sat there and pondered.
He just made that appearance, half of it was pretending.
According to what Yang Yi said, these military items are the secret of the Shu captives' repeated victories over the years.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it is still right to give it a try.
Therefore, he still took the drawings and reported to Cao Shuang again.
Not long after Cao Shuang returned to the General's Mansion from Deng's Mansion, he learned that Deng Yang was following him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Didn't you say that this matter will be left to Xuan Mao? Why is Xuan Mao here again?"
The Taichung Three Dogs gained Cao Shuang's trust more and more.
In Cao Shuang's view, this matter is just a trivial matter, and he believes that Deng Yang can handle it well.
This time, Deng Yang did not hide any more and told everything about the conversation he had just had with Yang Yi.
When Cao Shuang heard this, he didn't take it seriously:
"Didn't Xuan Mao say before that this person deliberately exaggerated his words in order to show his official intentions?"
"Why was it that after meeting with that Yang Yi, I was persuaded by him?"
Because I wanted to cover up my mistakes before, so naturally I had to say those words.
Deng Yang was a little embarrassed, but this time, he got himself involved.
He suggested carefully:
"General, in your opinion, why don't you have someone try to build these things first?"
"Whatever." Cao Shuang waved his hand and yawned, "It's okay to have someone build it and try it."
Cao Shuang is a fat man, and he is physically weak. In addition, he worked too hard last night, which has caused him to feel a little depressed.
Deng Yang saw Cao Shuang acting like this and knew it was not appropriate to mention the matter again, so he had no choice but to agree.
Then he recounted what he learned from Yang Yi about Feng Thief and Wei Yan.
Probably it is human nature to listen to gossip.
When he learned that the generals of the Shu army were at odds with each other, Cao Shuang immediately became energetic.
"Is this serious?"
"I just heard that what the Yang Yi family said is true. I can't make a direct conclusion yet. I have to find a way to investigate and confirm it."
When Cao Shuang heard this, he said "Oh" and said with some regret:
"At this time, Ge Thief had just died, and the Shu puppet emperor had just taken over the power. If there is any conflict between the two highest-ranking generals in the Shu army, it would be a great thing for the Wei Dynasty."
In the past, this matter might have been left to Sima Yi, but at this moment, tsk!
"Xuanmao thinks, how can we prove this?"
Deng Yang thought for a moment and suggested:
"Why don't you let Sun Deda, the governor of Jizhou, find a way to try it?"
"this……"
Cao Shuang originally wanted to say something like, "Jizhou and Guanzhong are not connected. If you want to investigate, it's not easy."
But when Deng Yang mentioned Sun Li, he suddenly remembered that in the dispute between Qinghe County and Pingyuan County, Sun Li finally awarded the disputed land to Pingyuan County.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Shuang felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
Originally, the Cui family in Qinghe had made an agreement with Cao Shuang. If Cao Shuang could really handle the territorial dispute, he would be grateful afterwards.
In Cao Shuang's view, if he could fulfill the wish of the Cui family in Qinghe, he could also take the opportunity to win over the wealthy families in Hebei.
Unexpectedly, Sun De arrived in Jizhou, and he took out the official map directly, regardless of his own opinions, saying that he wanted to divide the territory according to the year when the late emperor was granted the title of King of Pingyuan.
When the news reached Xuchang, Cao Shuang even told Sun Li that the official maps were too vague to be used as reference, and asked Sun Li to ask the local elders again.
Unexpectedly, Sun Li never thought of asking him, a great general, to save any face.
In the end, instead of changing his mind, he wrote a memorial letter.
Frankly speaking, if He County of the Qing Dynasty did not accept the result of the handling, it would be a sign of weakness and incompetence of the Jizhou governor. In fact, he is a person who has nothing to do and begs the court to remove him.
Words such as "weak and incompetent" deeply hurt Cao Shuang.
I only thought that Sun Li was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
Cao Shuang was so angry that he almost went to court to accuse Sun Li of slandering an important minister.
The handling of this matter really made Cao Shuang lose face in front of the Cui family of Qinghe.
At the same time, it also made the aristocratic family who were just outsiders see the instability of Cao Shuang's status.
It becomes more difficult for Cao Shuang to win over the wealthy families.
So you say, can Cao Shuang not hate Sun Li to the point of itch?
But right now, except for Sun Li, no one else can get in touch with Shangdang.
And I heard that it was Wei Yan who led the troops to attack Shangdang.
So Cao Shuang thought about it again and again, and finally endured his disapproval and nodded:
"Forget it, send someone to inform Sun Deda and see if he can investigate the matter."
"promise."
When Sun Li received the news from Cao Shuang from Xuchang, he immediately sneered:
"Cao Zhaobo tried to get me to leave Xuchang, but now he has fulfilled his wish?"
"How long has it been since then? How many things have happened in Xuchang?"
His wife Deng Xuanmao changed his official position, but Uncle He Ping (He Yan) was not satisfied with marrying a princess. He was sparse on the outside and Ding Yanjing was jealous on the inside.
Among the three dogs in Taichung, which one is not a guy who only has a reputation but can never achieve anything?
Sun Li was personally promoted to General Shi by Cao Rui, so naturally Cao Wei still remained loyal.
When I learned about the changes in Xuchang, I felt sad.
Just thinking about what Cao Shuang did again, he felt a little resentful:
"The basis of my judgment is based on the boundary of the late emperor when he was the king of Pingyuan. Cao Zhaobo dared not recognize it at this time, which shows that he has no respect for the late emperor at all."
Recalling the late emperor's earnestness when he appointed Cao Shuang as general and entrusted the prince to him, Sun Li couldn't help but sigh:
"If the late Emperor Huang Quan knew it, I don't know if he would regret letting Cao Bozhao take on the important responsibility."
He finally figured out that Sima Yi of Luoyang might be ambitious, but on the surface at least he respected the Wei royal family.
Although Cao Shuang was a member of the clan, he had begun to lose the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Sun Li felt a little confused about what the fate of the Wei Dynasty would be like in the future.
However, what Cao Shuang arranged this time made Sun Li cheer up a little.
If Feng Thief and Wei Yan, the two top generals of the Shu captives, are not intact, it will not be an opportunity for the Wei Dynasty.
Just when Sun Li was thinking about how to implement and investigate this news, Ma Jun from the Wei State in Xuchang was assigned a task.
That is to create some weapons and equipment according to the drawings.
When Ma Jun was young, he lived in poverty and was not good at speaking because he had stuttered since he was a child.
Later, when I became a doctor, my life still didn't change much, so I improved the silk weaving machine, and then I started to become famous.
When he got into trouble, he wanted to build the legendary compass car.
The compass, a legendary object from the time of the Yellow Emperor, was also built by Zhang Heng of the Later Han Dynasty, but the method has been lost.
When they learned that Ma Jun wanted to recreate the compass, Gao Longtang, a respected minister of the Wei state, and Qin Lang, a trusted general of Cao Rui, tried to thwart the attempt.
Both Gao Longtang and Qin Lang believed that the ancient legends were not credible.
Qin Lang even mocked Ma Jun's name and said:
"Mr. Jun's name is Jun, and his courtesy name is Deheng. Jun refers to the shape of the utensil, and balance can determine the weight of an object."
"Sir, you don't even know the weight and size standards of a compass, yet you dare to boast that you can make a compass. Don't you feel ashamed of your name?"
Ma Jun was born into a poor family, and his official position was too humble compared to Gao Longtang and Qin Lang.
Coupled with his stuttering, he was often looked down upon by others.
But there is a resilience in him, and he must do what he sets his sights on.
The three of them even got into trouble in front of Cao Rui. Cao Rui was very interested and ordered Ma Jun to build a compass.
After continuous attempts, Ma Jun finally succeeded in creating a compass car using the structural principle of differential gears.
This incident made Gao Tanglong and Qin Lang lose face, and at the same time, the reputation of Ma Jun's skill spread throughout the court.
It is a pity that Ma Jun's successful slap in the face did not bring him much benefit as he offended the senior ministers of the Wei Dynasty and the emperor's most trusted ministers.
After Cao Rui learned about Ma Jun's skill, he did not let him build more useful things.
Instead, he asked Ma Jun to create entertainment objects for himself.
Once, someone presented a puppet show to Cao Ruijin. The shapes were quite exquisite, but the puppets could only be placed there and could not move. Cao Rui felt quite regretful.
At this time, he remembered Ma Jun, who was known as a skillful man, so he summoned Ma Jun and asked:
"Can you make these puppets move?"
Ma Jun used wood to make a motive wheel, which was driven by water to rotate. Through the transmission mechanism, the puppets could play drums, play Xiao, dance, etc.
It is known as "Water Turns Hundreds of Plays" and its structure is extremely exquisite.
The creation of this fun thing made Cao Rui very happy, but Ma Jun's official career still made no progress.
Within two years, the Great War in Guanzhong broke out and Cao Rui died of illness. In the chaos that lasted for more than half a year, even Shangshu Ling Pei Qian disappeared.
Not to mention a little guy like Ma Jun.
If Cao Shuang hadn't ordered people to build the equipment used by the Han army according to the drawings, I'm afraid Ma Jun wouldn't be remembered for a long time.
"Good...good...good stuff!"
Although he had been left out for so long, Ma Jun's eyes lit up as soon as he got the drawings.
When he saw clearly the parts and assembled objects on it, he became even more excited.
It's just that he stuttered, and now he was a little incoherent when he was excited:
"Wonderful, wonderful, this thing is so ingenious, so, so true... It is so ingenious that it is as if it were made by heaven!"
Yang Yi, who was sent here, has been suffering from the warmth and coldness of the world these days.
At this time, someone finally saw the value of the drawings he sent. He was so happy that he almost shed tears.
What's nice is that someone believes in me, but what's sad is that this person is just a petty official, let alone a stutterer!
too difficult!
But at this point, he can only do his best to prove that what he has sent is worth thousands of gold, so that he can be valued by the general.
With this mentality, he fully assisted Ma Jun in building these instruments.
Among these things, Ma Jun valued the most, and that was the stone cannon.
After he successfully built it, he was still not satisfied, so he studied day and night to improve it, and finally created a new type of rotating stone cannon cart.
It uses a wooden wheel to hang stones on the wooden wheel. In this way, a machine is installed to drive the wheel to rotate quickly, and large stones can be launched continuously.
Although it is not as good as the large stone cannon, it is more portable, has a good range, and can be ejected automatically. If it can be popularized in the army, it will be a powerful weapon in the army.
After finishing the equipment, Ma Jun happily ran to Deng Yang to inform him of the result.
"You made it so quickly? Listen to Yang Yiyan, this kind of equipment is the secret of the Shu army. Did you just build something at random to fool me?"
Deng Yang looked at Ma Jun in front of him with some suspicion.
It's already the hot summer. Ma Jun has been immersed in research these days. Where does he have time to take care of himself?
Not only was the body dirty, but there was also a lot of sawdust on it, not to mention that when you got closer, there was a sour smell.
"Chang Shi, how dare I lie to you?"
When Ma Jun heard what Deng Yang said, he immediately became anxious.
He took two steps forward, as if he wanted to explain clearly, but the movement was a little wider, and the sour smell on his body immediately dispersed, causing Deng Yang to cover his nose:
"Stop, just stand there, I can hear you, what did you build?"
"Stone cannon!" Ma Jun waved his hands excitedly, "Shu's stone cannon is indeed powerful, but I have improved it and created a lighter and more useful stone cannon."
"Stone cannon?"
"Exactly, it's similar to the Thunderbolt Chariot used by Emperor Wu in the Battle of Guandu..."
Before he finished speaking, Deng Yang understood:
"Oh, I know it!"
Isn't it just that the Shu pirates secretly learned the Pili chariot from the past somewhere?
Yang Yi said that Shulu has been improved and is more powerful than the original Thunderbolt Chariot, which can hit rocks like thunder from the sky.
Now you say that it has been improved even more than Shulu?
For example, what is more powerful about Thunder Sky Drop?
God descends to earth?
Deng Yang smiled:
"Let me ask you, apart from the Thunderbolt Car, have you built any other objects?"
Ma Jun originally wanted to say that the thunderbolt chariot used by Emperor Wu was very different from the stone cannons made today.
But Master Changshi seemed to have decided that it was a thunderbolt car.
Okay, a thunderbolt car is a thunderbolt car.
Unexpectedly, Deng Yang looked like he didn't seem to pay much attention to this important weapon in the army.
He immediately became anxious:
"Deng...Deng...Deng...Chang Shi..."
Unexpectedly, the more anxious I am, the more speechless I become.
