Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 194 Sai Luban, Fufeng Majun (please ask for monthly votes for more updates)
Jiang Wei's eyes were full of resentment: "Bosong, you hid it from me!"

"The wooden box your bodyguard is carrying contains this repeating crossbow, right?"

"Everyone looks at us as if they are looking at thieves, guarding us as if they were thieves."

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said: "I gave them a death order at the beginning. If Lian Nu is there, he will be there. If Lian Nu is thrown away, his comrades will be killed."

"If I lose a repeating crossbow, I have to have five of my colleagues to kill me. Can't I guard you like a thief?"

"After all, this repeating crossbow is the most difficult to develop; but if you have a sample, you can disassemble it, copy it, or even improve it."

After Zhuge Liannu was lost, it could not be restored for thousands of years.

But after seeing Zhuge Liannu, his contemporary Ma Jun said, "What is clever is clever, but it is not perfect." He directly improved the ten-shot crossbow into a fifty-shot crossbow.

Thinking of Zhuge Liannu, Zhuge Qiao thought of Ma Jun: "Brother, have you ever heard that Fufeng people and horses are equal to Ma Deheng?"

Jiang Wei said without hesitation: "I heard in the early years that this person is from the Ma family, a prominent family in Fufeng County."

Those who can fill the vacancy for a doctorate are probably because their ancestors have some connection with Ma Rong and rely on the support of fellow villagers.

A crossbow with ten rounds turns into a crossbow with fifty rounds. It is terrifying to think about it.

"If Ma Jun goes to Luoyang to seek an official position, it will be like a pearl cast in secret and a flower standing in cow dung."

Zhuge Qiao picked up the Zhuge Liannu and said, "As the eldest brother said, Ma Jun is fond of collecting and commenting on strange objects, and he once spent a huge sum of money to buy a wooden kite."

In the 218rd year of Jian'an (), Cao Cao destroyed the three Geng clans, captured Geng Kuang's fifth-generation grandson Geng Yuan, invaded the marquis state, and restored Haomi County.

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "Bosong can send people to Fufeng County to spread the news, falsely claiming that there are strange things in Hebei County."

Because Ma Jun was a bastard in the officialdom, it was difficult for him to get a high salary. In the end, he was too poor to make inventions.

As long as you use the resources of your ancestors, you can become a famous scholar, but you have to go into science and engineering.

Simultaneously.

This is similar to Li Zhuan.

"Although my ancestor had some connection with Ji Changgong (Ma Rong), Ma Jun didn't like the study of classics. He only liked collecting and commenting on strange art objects, which was criticized by people at the time."

Zhuge Qiao suddenly laughed: "I am the one who is in charge and is confused. As long as there is something rare that Ma Jun is interested in, Ma Jun will definitely be reluctant to leave."

Thirty miles north of Chencang, Haomi County.

Zhuge Qiao said: "How can Ma Jun believe the lie about a rare thing? Even if he comes, I can't keep him."

What Zhuge Qiao can infer is that Ma Jun changed from a wealthy family to a poor family after Cao Cao defeated Yongliang.

"I once spent 60 yuan to buy a wooden kite, just because someone said that the wooden kite could fly into the sky."

"If it is used in the art of war, it is called building plank roads openly and attacking Chen Cang secretly."

In terms of ability, Ma Jun might as well give in to Gongshu Pan, Mo Zhai, Wang Er, and Zhang Heng. What's even more terrifying is that Ma Jun's job is not an engineering official, he is just an amateur!
Wei's doctor is an official of Taichang.

Zhuge Qiao had a headache.

Zhuge Qiao also ordered Ma Zhong to pretend to be a businessman and go to Fufeng County to spread the news and find out Ma Jun's whereabouts.

Jiang Wei couldn't understand: "Bosong wants to recruit Ma Jun? But Ma Jun is neither civilized nor martial, so what's the use of recruiting him?"

"When Cao Cao pacified Yongliang, Fufeng County suffered greatly. After that, Ma Jun's deeds were never heard of."

Immediately.

Although Jiang Wei couldn't understand it very well, seeing Zhuge Qiao speaking so solemnly, he smiled and said, "It's not difficult to get Ma Jun to come to Hebei County."

Zhuge Qiao didn't know what kind of doctor Ma Jun was.

"Ma Jun's family is well off, and he doesn't care about the cynicism of others. He spends his days either having fun or looking for strange objects."

Zhuge Qiao thought of the record about Ma Jun, "He was a doctor and lived in poverty because he thought about the silk loom." Because he was too poor, he invented the Twelve Silk Silk Silk Machine.

"Ma Jun is the most curious thing. If I hear this news, I will definitely come to Hebei County to inquire about it."

"If Ma Jun can come to Ji County, he will definitely help me improve this Zhuge Liannu."

Zhuge Qiao's tone tightened: "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were large pine forests in the Haomi area, and burning smoke to make ink was popular. Haomi was also the ancient name for ink.

If all his family members had gone to Luoyang, it would be impossible for Ma Jun to go to Longyou to serve Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao summoned Li Zhuan and asked him to build a model. He was known as the "Earth-Breaking Saburo". He could open mountains and drill into the ground, attracting craftsmen from all over the county to observe.

"I don't know if Ma Jun is still in Fufeng County."

"Then Ma Jun must know many skilled craftsmen and have studied many strange crafts. The more he sees, the wider his knowledge will be."

Those who specialize in etiquette are Dr. Taichang, those who are proficient in music are Dr. Taile, those who are proficient in medical skills are Drs. Doctors of Medicine and Medicine, those who are proficient in astronomical ephemeris are "Doctor of Astronomy", "Doctor of Lu Ke", "Doctor of Calendar", "Dr. Taibu", "Dr. Bu", etc.

"Able to drill into the ground and open mountains, his dexterity and ingenuity are beyond the reach of even Lu Ban in his lifetime."

If Ma Jun had already gone to Luoyang to fill a vacancy and became a doctor, it would be almost impossible to use Ma Jun again.

Jiang Wei pointed at the repeating crossbow in Zhuge Qiao's hand: "Bosong does not have this strange thing that can drill into the ground and open mountains."

Hemi County was once the fiefdom of Geng Kuang, the father of Geng Yan, the fourth of Yuntai's twenty-eight generals.

"But Ma Jun must be interested in this strange object with ten crossbows."

According to the "Han Gong Yi", officials such as Shangshu Ling, Pu, Cheng, Lang and others at that time could get "one piece of big ink and one piece of small ink" every month.

The Ma Jun Zhuge Qiao is looking for is now in Haomi County.

Due to frequent wars in Fufeng County, a large number of people were displaced, and some of them chose to avoid disasters in the mountains and forests.

Ma Jun is one of the people who avoids disasters in the mountains and forests, and he can barely support himself in the mountains and forests.

What makes Ma Jun regretful is that compared to when he was young and could play around and look for all kinds of strange and magical objects, this life is much more monotonous and boring.

If you are too poor, you will naturally have no money to have fun.

"Have you heard? There is a strange object in Tianshui County, named 'Potu Sanlang', which can open mountains and drill into the ground."

"Really? If we can really dig into the mountains, how much fertile land will we need to add?"

"What good things are you thinking about! Tianshui County is now the territory of the Han Dynasty, and we are the Wei people now. How can we dig mountains and dig for us?"

"What Wei people? If you can give us more fertile land, we will be the people of the Han Dynasty!"

"Why don't we go to Tianshui County? On this broken mountain, we will be exhausted all year round and we won't be able to grow much food."

"You have to go, there is some farmland here, but there is no farmland in Tianshui County, so it can only be farmed by those evil officials."

"I heard that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was Duke Xuande, who once had a reputation for benevolence and virtue. Duke Xuande was a disciple of Duke Zigang, who was also a disciple of Duke Ji Changgong. We also have the surname Ma, so we can always have some connections. Bar?"

"Our surname is Ma, but we are not related to Ji Changgong. How can we have a relationship? It is better to farm the land honestly."

The discussion of the mountain people reached the ears of Ma Jun, who was bored walking in the forest.

"Potu Saburo? Can he open mountains? Can he drill into the ground? Is there really such a rare thing in Tianshui County?"

Ma Jun's boring eyes suddenly became more angry.

It would be torture for Ma Jun to let a person who loves rare things work as a hermit farming in the mountains and forests.

Ma Jun would never have stayed here if he hadn't been fleeing the war, and he was poor and confused and didn't know where to go.

"Where did you hear about this rare earth-shattering thing you are talking about?" Ma Jun stopped the mountain people who were discussing.

When the mountain people saw Ma Jun, they quickly saluted.

"Mr. Deheng, this news has been circulating in Hemi County recently. It was first spread by a businessman from Tianshui County."

"The businessman also claimed that his surname was Ma, and said that he went to Tianshui County to avoid trouble in the early years."

"Mr. Deheng is well-informed, does he know that there are really strange things in this world that can break mountains and break earth?"

"Can Duke Deheng instruct craftsmen to imitate it? If we can also make it, we can cultivate more fertile land."

Ma Jun pinched his beautiful beard: "I have seen strange things that can break through the earth. I have also seen this strange thing that can break mountains. But this is the first time I have heard of this strange thing that can break mountains and break the earth."

"I can go to Tianshui County and have a look. If I can imitate it, I will definitely instruct the craftsmen to imitate it when I come back."

The mountain people were overjoyed: "I am here to thank Duke Deheng."

Ma Jun looked at the mountain people, but stretched out his right hand: "It costs a lot to go to Tianshui County. The family is too poor to survive, how about a few of us borrow some money and food temporarily?"

The mountain people suddenly looked embarrassed.

a long time.

One of the mountain people said cruelly: "Gong Deheng will be able to imitate the rare thing just by taking a look at it. I don't have much money and food, so let's all scrape together."

The mountain people obviously trusted Ma Jun very much. They shared a little bit between each person and gave Ma Jun money and food to go to Tianshui County.

With the help of the mountain people, Ma Jun hurried back to Canada to settle his wife, children and mother.

In this mountain forest, Ma Jun had already been driven crazy.

Although the authenticity of Tianshui County’s rare items was unknown, Ma Jun didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

If it is fake, the trip will be in vain and the mountain people will complain a few times at most; but if it is true, it will become interesting.

Ma Jun did not go directly to Tianshui County.

It is very close from Haomi County to Tianshui County by taking the Wei River waterway, but Fei Yao of Chencang has strict control over the Wei River waterway. Ma Jun would be easily suspected if he wanted to go to Tianshui County.

But if you take the Guanlong Avenue, not to mention the long distance, you may easily encounter strong bandits.

Ma Jun just wanted to meet the Tianshui County Sheriff, but he didn't want to go there to seek death.

After careful consideration, Ma Jun found a businessman named Ma who came from Tianshui County and said he wanted to see the wonders of Tianshui County.

This businessman named Ma was Ma Zhong. When Ma Jun announced his family name, Ma Zhong slapped his thigh suddenly.

After many days in Fufeng County, Ma Zhong failed to find out about Ma Jun. Unexpectedly, Ma Jun came to visit him.

In order to confirm Ma Jun's identity, Ma Zhong asked: "Sir, is this Ma Jun and Ma Deheng who spent 60 yuan to buy a wooden kite in the past?"

Ma Jun suddenly became alert: "Why do you ask this?"

Seeing Ma Jun's reaction, Ma Zhong made a judgment in his heart and said: "To be honest, I came to Fufeng County this time because of someone else's entrustment."

"The man said that there was a man in Fufeng County. His surname was Ma Jun, whose surname was Deheng. He was the best at commenting on strange and magical objects. He died because of the war in Fufeng County."

Ma Jun reacted: "Could the person who entrusted you with the task be the craftsman who created the rare earth objects from the hillside?"

Ma Zhong nodded: "Exactly!"

Ma Jun immediately put away his suspicion, pinched his beard and smiled: "I am the Ma Jun who spent sixty dollars to buy wooden kites. It seems that this trip to Tianshui County will not be in vain."

"It's really amazing! I didn't expect that there are actually people in this world who can actually build a strange thing that can open up the soil of a hillside."

"I wonder when I can leave for Tianshui County?"

Ma Jun, who had no doubts, was even more impatient than Ma Zhong!
Ma Zhong said: "Sir, please don't be impatient. Please rest in the car first and leave after I sell this batch of goods."

After Ma Zhong boarded the carriage, Ma Zhong immediately summoned a knight and ordered him to return to Ji County overnight.

When he came, Zhuge Qiao specially asked him to report back immediately if he found Ma Jun, and never let Ma Jun make any mistakes. In order to avoid long nights and many dreams.

Ma Zhong did not stay long in Haomi County before he drove the caravan to the street pavilion.

Although Fei Yao of Chencang will not come to Haomi County to garrison troops at present, Haomi County is too close to Chencang.

If an accident occurs, not only will Ma Jun be unable to go to Tianshui County, but Ma Zhong may be trapped here.

Fortunately, Fei Yao now only focused his main energy on the Weishui River and the Rulong Trail, and did not pay much attention to the Guanlong Avenue to the north.

If Zhuge Qiao wanted to attack Chencang by surprise, he would not be able to make a large circle and take the Guanlong Avenue to attack Chencang. He would have to go down the Weishui River or walk on the Long Trail.

However, the caravan's journey day and night also made Ma Jun suspicious again.

"Brother Dexin, why are you in such a hurry?" Ma Jun couldn't help but ask.

When Ma Zhong saw the street pavilion approaching, most of the nervousness in his heart was relieved: "It is winter now, and it is relatively warm these days."

"It would be safer to rush back to Tianshui County as early as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous if the road is blocked by heavy snow."

Ma Jun thought about it and realized that this was also the case.

If the road is really blocked by heavy snow, there will be no way forward or retreat.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of Longshan, they heard the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the valley, but it was Wang Ping who led five hundred Wudang flying troops to appear.

Ma Jun was startled and called Ma Zhong to ask about the situation.

Ma Zhong laughed loudly and called to Wang Ping: "Zijun, you have scared your distinguished guest."

Ma Jun was even more confused.

What makes you king?
Wang Ping strode to the carriage, saluted Ma Jun and said: "Wang Ping, the loyal general of the Wudang Fei Military Department under the command of the governor of Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty and the general of the Fu Han Dynasty, has met Mr."

"You are worried that there are horse thieves and bandits along the way, so you have specially ordered me to lead an unworthy flying army of 500 people. We are waiting here for you, sir."

Ma Jun looked at Wang Ping blankly, and then looked at Ma Zhong: "Brother Dexin, what is going on?"

I just want to go to Tianshui County to see the rare things. Why did I alert the powerful Liangzhou governor?
I'm not a famous official either?

Ma Jun can't understand!

If Ma Jun was a famous official in Fufeng County, it would be understandable to receive such treatment, but Ma Jun has never had a reputation in the scholar circle, and he is often regarded as a laughing stock.

In the eyes of most scholars, Ma Jun is a curious and skillful person who is not worthy of discussing Taoism with his peers.

A man who despised the lower end of the chain was actually sent by the Han Dynasty's Liangzhou governor to escort him?
Ma Jun is like falling into the clouds.

Ma Zhong also clasped his fists and saluted Ma Jun at this moment: "Ma Zhong, the loyal general of the Wudang Fei Army, who is the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty and serves as the general to assist the Han Dynasty. I have met Mr."

"The envoy heard that Mr. Fufeng County is skillful and has long wanted to get to know him, so he asked me to pretend to be a businessman in Fufeng County to find out his whereabouts."

Ma Jun also gradually came to his senses, and his tone was a little unpleasant: "So, the strange thing that broke out of the mountain and drilled into the earth is also a fake?"

Ma Zhong didn't answer and looked at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping then took off the Zhuge Liannu from his waist and handed it to Ma Jun: "There are no strange objects that dig into the mountains and drill into the earth. There is a Zhuge Liannu here. Please take a look, sir."

When Ma Jun saw Zhuge Liannu, his eyes changed instantly. He snatched Zhuge Liannu away and looked at it carefully.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Ma Jun was already knowledgeable about all kinds of craftsmen's creations. Now that he saw Zhuge Liannu, he quickly understood the wonders of Zhuge Liannu.

"General Wang, can you let me see the crossbow arrow?" Ma Jun looked at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping took out ten crossbow arrows from the crossbow box and handed them to Ma Jun, who then handed Zhuge Liannu back to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping did not answer, but moved out of the way: "Sir, if you are interested, you can test fire."

Ma Jun excitedly loaded the crossbow arrows.

After watching Ma Jun understand the use of Zhuge Liannu after a few glances, Wang Ping and Ma Zhong looked at each other and nodded.

Zhuge Qiao asked Wang Ping to greet Ma Jun. In addition to escorting him, he also asked Wang Ping to test Ma Jun's skills.

It would be embarrassing if you found the wrong person.

Ma Jun did not shoot the crossbow arrow, but made two gestures before taking it off: "This thing is clever, but it is not perfect. General Wang, General Ma, please take me to see Governor Zhuge."

Wang Ping and Ma Zhong were surprised.

Ma Jun just looked at it for a moment, and then he dared to say something like "What's clever is clever, but it's not perfect."

Anyone who dares to say this is either a true genius or a mediocre person with a false reputation.

And looking at Ma Jun's behavior just now, as well as Ma Jun's desolate appearance, it doesn't look like he is just a vain person.

Looks like you found the right person!

Wang Ping and Ma Zhong looked at each other and asked Ma Jun to get on the carriage.

The next day.

Everyone arrived at Lueyang City.

Li Zhuan went out of the city to greet him: "Li Zhuan, the Tianshui Gong commandant under the command of Liangzhou governor, has met Mr."

The ranks of Gongguan, from top to bottom, are Nursing Gongzu Shi, Ling, Cheng, Zuo, Yu, Ling Shi, Zuofu, Zuofu Zuo, and Zuofu Lingshi.

The nursing officer is the supervisor appointed to supervise the work officer. According to different circumstances, the larger one is assigned the "order" and the smaller one is assigned the "chief".

Such as "Henan Work Order", "Nanyang Work Order", "Yingchuan Work Officer Order", "Guanghan Work Officer Chief", "Shu County Work Officer Chief", etc.

Ma Jun was a little flattered.

First, the loyal general Ma Zhong came to look for him, then the loyal general Wang Ping came to escort him, and now the Tianshui engineer Li Zhuan came to Lueyang to greet him.

Lueyang does not belong to Tianshui County, which means that Li Zhuan came to Lueyang from Ji County specifically.

"I'm just a white man, how dare I accept Li Gongling's gift." Ma Jun quickly got out of the car and returned the gift.

Li Zhuan smiled and said: "Sir, you are your distinguished guest, how can I dare to neglect you? Sir, please go to the city to rest first. Your Majesty will definitely arrive in Lueyang in the evening."

Ma Jun was startled: "I can just go to Ji County to visit Governor Zhuge. How can I let Governor Zhuge come to see me? This is not etiquette."

Li Zhuan laughed loudly: "Sir, you are an honored guest and worthy of your presence! Please come to the city and take a bath to dispel the cold."

Ma Jun felt a little uneasy: "Li Gongling, I am neither a famous official nor the son of a prince. Why would Governor Zhuge treat me so favorably?"

Li Zhuan said: "Sir, have you seen Zhuge Liannu?"

Ma Jun nodded: "A rare and ingenious thing."

Li Zhuan asked again: "Sir, do you think this thing can be perfect?"

Ma Jun's words were concise and concise: "It's not all good!"

Li Zhuan smiled and said: "This is why you treat me so kindly!"

"Sir, you don't know. Although I studied under Mr. Shui Jing, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, I don't like to study the Five Classics."

"I like all the schools of thought the most, especially arithmetic, divination, medicine, bows and crossbows, and mechanical ingenuity."

"So he was often ridiculed by Confucian scholars, so much so that he lived for more than thirty years and was still just a small Yizhou scholar."

"Fortunately, I met the Commander-in-Chief, and this allowed me to really put my talents to use."

Ma Jun was surprised.

Today, Ma Jun actually has no intention of becoming a work officer.

For Ma Jun, if he had not been too poor to survive when he was a doctor, he would not have thought of taking the job of a work officer.

Ma Jun was just interested, but had no intention of making a living from it.

Therefore, when he heard that Li Zhuan studied under Mr. Shui Jing but was willing to become a work officer, Ma Jun felt a little complicated.

Although the work officer is also an official, he is a low-ranking official, and he is also at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Just like the engineering majors of later generations, some self-righteous people will ridicule "college students also go to construction sites."

Literati's mutual affection exists in any era.

During the time when Ma Jun was hiding in the mountains and forests, he had been confused and didn't know how to choose his future.

How can one become an official if one cannot achieve success in literature and martial arts?
But when he became a work officer, Ma Jun felt that he couldn't stand being discriminated against.

But Li Zhuan's proud words and expressions, as well as the courtesy he received along the way, made Ma Jun feel a little yearning for the work officer.

With uneasy and complicated feelings, Ma Jun followed Li Zhuan into the city.

By evening.

Zhuge Qiao led several horses to Lueyang City, where Li Zhuan had already held a banquet in the city.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Zhuan, Wang Ping and Ma Zhong all stood up and saluted.

Ma Jun also quickly stood up and saluted: "Young man, Ma Jun, I have met Zhuge, the governor."

Zhuge Qiao replied: "I feel guilty for inviting Sir General to Longyou in this cold winter. Please forgive me."

Ma Jun didn't even dare and looked at Zhuge Qiao carefully.

Seeing Zhuge Qiao in white robes and armor, he showed both youthful spirit and heroic spirit, which made Ma Jun secretly marvel.

Although Zhuge Qiao has been crowned, he is only seventeen years old now.

It is rare for such a young man to serve as the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty.

When he was in Fufeng County, Ma Jun also heard about Zhuge Qiao's reputation.

After all, Cao Wei lost miserably in this battle!

Meng Da, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, was captured. General Zhang He of the left was defeated and fled. Less than half of the 70,000-strong army escaped.

In order to deal with Zhuge Liang in Hanzhong and Zhuge Qiao in Longyou, Cao Pi reactivated the feudal state of Cao Zhang, and added the title of General Zhenxi and Governor of Yongliang Military and Political Affairs.

Although the war seems to have subsided in Yongliang today, anyone with a sharp eye can see that this is just a brief calm before the storm.

The wine is half full.

Zhuge Qiao asked Ma Jun about his ambition: "Sir, you are full of talent and learning, but have you ever thought about becoming an official?"

Ma Jun sighed: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I don't know how to kill the enemy in battle, nor do I know how to govern the place. I don't even know the Five Classics. I want to be an official, how easy is it?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said, "Sir, why should you belittle yourself!"

"Going into battle to kill the enemy is a matter for brave generals and soldiers, governing a place is a matter for Confucian scholars who are aware of current affairs, and annotating the Five Classics is a matter for Confucian scholars."

"There are hundreds of walks of life in this world, and there is always one that is suitable for you."

"If you, sir, have nowhere to go in Cao Wei, you can be my guest for a while."

"If you have the intention to serve as a powerful official, I will recommend you to your majesty as a talented person."
