Ma Jun immediately ran over to ask Deng Yang for credit for making the stone cannon, because from his unique perspective, Yang Yi probably didn't exaggerate on purpose.

This kind of equipment is indeed a sharp weapon in the army, no, it should be said that it is an important weapon in the country.

That's why he couldn't wait to come to see Deng Yang.

It's just that Ma Jun, who was born in a poor family, could not have imagined that Deng Yang had been frustrated for so many years, and once he came to power, what he wanted most was to make up for what he had lost.

With the secret medicine offered by Mi Shishilang, it seemed to him who was more and more addicted to wine and sex that what Ma Jun said was nothing more than an imitation of Emperor Wu's Perak Chariot.

"Did you make those heavy crossbows?"

Compared with the heavy weapon stone cannon, Deng Yang seemed to be more optimistic about the heavy crossbow.

After all, the big man has been around for hundreds of years, and the strong bows and crossbows in the army have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ma Jun, who was still thinking about making a long speech and wanted to explain the importance of stone cannons to Deng Changshi, got stuck immediately.

He was not fluent in speaking, and now he was asked such a question by Deng Yang out of the blue, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"I didn't make it, what did you come over and tell me?"

Deng Yang waved his hand impatiently:

"Go back and make all the things on the drawing, and then report to me."

Seeing Deng Yang's expression, Ma Jun's heart suddenly felt cold.

This kind of attitude, over the years, he has encountered too many.

From Gao Tanglong, Qin Lang, to the first emperor, to Deng Yang in front of them, their attitude towards him has never changed a bit.

Thinking about it, even if it was the first emperor who suppressed the wind of vanity and allowed himself to make a compass car.

What I am most interested in is whether I can help him create a movable Baixi puppet.

And how can these guys who can only talk nonsense think highly of what they have created?

Ma Jun, who thought he could show his talents, saw the reality in front of him clearly, and his enthusiasm immediately cooled down, so he had to retreat disgruntled.

Yang Yi, who had been anxiously waiting for the news, saw Ma Jun coming back, and hurriedly went up to him and asked:

"How about the horse? Is the general satisfied?"

Ma Jun glanced at Yang Yi, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Also the general?

It would be nice to see Deng Changshi.

Seeing Ma Jun's appearance, Yang Yi's heart sank.

But he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked:

"Could it be that the general didn't have time, so he didn't come to see the stone cannon?"

Ma Jun looked at Yang Yi who seemed to be grabbing at straws, and couldn't help feeling a little bit unbearable in his heart.

This Mr. Yang, who traveled thousands of miles to vote, risked his life to bring the method of making sharp weapons in the bandit army, but he did not expect to be treated like this.

Oh, what a pity!

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, Chang...Changshi said, we have to make... all the things first, try...test its power, and then he can report...to the general."

What?

You mean, you didn't even see the general during your trip?

Yang Yi recalled the scene when he saw Deng Yang again, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed:

"It's just..."

The word "idiot" was stuck in his throat in the end, and he didn't say it.

Today is different from the past!

Seeing Yang Yi wanting to attack but not daring, Ma Jun couldn't bear it even more. He whispered:

"Mr. Yang, don't... don't worry, you, don't worry, I will find another way."

Yang Yi glanced at him, and thought to herself that you are just a laborer, and what you do is a craftsman's job, what can you do?

It's just that the current him is no longer the prime minister, but a general who has not yet confirmed his identity.

In the current situation, he was helpless.

With a long sigh:

"For the sake of Great Wei, and for the sake of destroying the thieves, please pay more attention to this matter."

"Natural, that, that is natural."

Although in recent years, the aristocratic families have accelerated their control over the promotion of the Wei state.

However, at the beginning of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System, there was a meaning of bringing the power of public opinion to comment on people to the government.

So at the beginning of the implementation, even for the sake of face, some children from poor families had to be recommended.

Moreover, in the past few years, it was not that Cao Rui had no intention of suppressing the family, so he promoted some Han Shu.

It's just that these Han Shu's children started from a far lower level than the children of the aristocratic family. Although they entered the officialdom, their promotion speed was much slower than that of the children of the aristocratic family.

This situation, the further back, the more serious.

Therefore, Hanshu who was promoted in the early years, who can do things like Ma Jun, is already considered rare.

They are not taken seriously, and most of the time they can't integrate into the family, so they can only hug themselves to keep warm.

Therefore, during the years when Ma Jun was not taken seriously, he naturally met some people with similar backgrounds as himself.

Among these people was the doctor Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was originally from the Fu family in the north.

His grandfather was Fu Xie, who was well-known among the Hu people in Liangzhou.

Later, Fu Xie sacrificed his life for the country, and the barbarians in Liangzhou rebelled, so Fu Xuan had to flee to Hanoi with his adult Fu Gan.

Fu Xuan's lord, Fu Gan, had already shown his talents at a young age, and was finally expropriated by Cao Cao, and became the prefect of Fufeng.

It's just that the location of the Fu family's ancestral grave may not be right. Fu Gan died before he had been Fufeng prefect for a few years.

Fu Xuan experienced two consecutive family declines in his young age, which can be described as ups and downs...

When Fu Xuan was young, he was lonely and poor, somewhat similar to Ma Jun, maybe even worse than Ma Jun.

But he still has the name of the Fu family, first he was promoted as Xiaolian, and later he was promoted as a scholar, and he was awarded the position of doctor.

Fu Xuan's status allowed him to be accepted by the aristocratic family.

At the same time, his experience allowed him to put down his dignity and associate with Han Shu's children.

At this moment, Ma Jun could think of only Fu Xuan who had both the ability and the ability to help him.

In addition, Ma Jun is from Fufeng, and Fu Xuan's adult, Fu Gan, was once the prefect of Fufeng.

With this level of relationship, Fu Xuan naturally prefers to see Ma Jun.

He heard that Ma Jun was visiting, not only did he meet Ma Jun in person, but after hearing what Ma Jun was asking for, he couldn't help sighing:

"Nowadays, the style of Xuan Yan in the Great Wei Dynasty is more and more prosperous. Scholars only worship metaphysics and ignore practical affairs. If things go on like this, will there be officials who govern the people in the world?"

Fu Xuan has followed the style of scholarship in the Han Dynasty since he was a child, specializing in Confucian classics, and has never liked this kind of talkative atmosphere.

He originally wanted to say that it was not unreasonable for the first emperor to initiate the vanity case.

I just remembered that most of the people used by the general are flashy people.

In the end, he couldn't help but said bitterly: "There are three dogs in Taichung, the second dog is Yachai, and the second dog is a gangster!"

(Yachai: the appearance of opening his mouth to bite, refers to Deng Yang and He Yan biting people everywhere; gangrene, that is, the place where the poisonous pus in the malignant sore is the most concentrated, refers to Ding Mi is the most vicious)

Fu Xuan was born with a straight personality, and he could not tolerate sand in his eyes. The doctor was also an official of Shangshutai, so he had already had a problem with Taichung Sangou.

I know that if I want to report this matter through Deng Yang, so as to attract Cao Shuang's attention, I am afraid that I don't know how many twists and turns it will take.

"How can you be so negligent about such a major military matter? Deheng, but please rest assured, I will find a way to report this matter to the general."

Ma Jun was a little worried:

"I'm afraid that the long history will block it."

Fu Xuan sneered:

"The person who can see the general is not the only one, I have my own plan."

After speaking, he looked at Ma Jun seriously again and asked, "Deheng, is the stone cannon you mentioned really as powerful as it said?"

Ma Jun quickly assured: "How dare I make deceitful words in front of the general?"

It's a head-scratcher.

Fu Xuan naturally knew this too, he nodded:

"I also know that Deheng is known as a skillful hand. If that's the case, you just go back and make preparations."

Upon hearing Fu Xuan's words, Ma Jun was overjoyed, and stood up to thank him: "Thank you, Fu Langzhong."

Fu Xuan helped him up and sighed:

"The national value is in danger, and the thieves are powerful. As long as you can save the crisis, no matter whether it is a person or a device, you can try it."

"Deng Yang and his ilk, with shallow knowledge and prejudices, are really the king of the country!"

As Fu Xuan, he was naturally not qualified to meet the general directly.

Besides, even if he is qualified, but with the temperament of the Taichung Three Dogs, if he knows that he will pass them and meet the general directly, he may be obstructed.

So he made a curve to save the country and went to visit the mansion of the Marquis of Anxiang.

Cao Xi, Marquis of Anxiang, named Shuzhao, is the younger brother of Cao Shuang.

After Cao Shuang came to power, Cao Xi was entrusted with the leadership of the central army and took charge of the imperial army.

Unlike Cao Shuang, who is easily addicted, Cao Xi is knowledgeable and understands the law.

Even though he is in a high position, he is not lost in power like Cao Shuang.

Cao Xi was deeply worried about what his elder brother did.

Knowing that the well-known person Fu Xuan came to visit, Cao Xi hurried out of the mansion in person to welcome him into the mansion.

"Fu Jun stooped to visit, which really surprised Xi."

Although Fu Xuan is only a doctor, his reputation is not small. It is said that he is currently writing the book "Fu Zi".

It is conceivable that if a book is completed, its reputation may be raised to a higher level. Such people can only be treated politely, not offended.

What's more, the Cao clan seems to be in its prime, but how can Cao Xi fail to see the hidden worries?

Therefore, if he could win over celebrities like Fu Xuan, it would be beneficial to his brother's reputation anyway.

Fu Xuan came to visit Cao Xi because he still had a good reputation among the Cao brothers.

I didn't expect Cao Xi to be so courteous and virtuous when meeting in person at this time.

The current impression of the Cao brothers can't help but change a little.

"The general who is the leader of the army speaks seriously. Xuan came here boldly. I still want to ask the general not to think Xuan is too abrupt."

"No, no, Fu Jun, please sit down."

Cao Xi invited Fu Xuan to sit down and poured him a cup of tea himself.

"Xi heard Fu Jun's name early on, and has always wanted to get to know Fu Jun. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he is overjoyed. Why are you so abrupt?"

After the two chatted, Fu Xuan explained to Cao Xi the reason for his visit.

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Cao Xi would not take it seriously, so he emphasized his tone:

"This kind of thing is beyond Xuan's ability to talk about, but now the general is being deceived by the villain, and if he doesn't notice for a while, he is afraid that the important matter will be delayed."

Cao Xi originally thought that Fu Xuan's visit was for something important, but he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that he called it a big deal:

"This kind of craftsman's matter, Fu Jun also cares about it?"

Hearing that even the well-known Cao Xi treated this matter like this, Fu Xuan could imagine the attitude of the general's residence towards this matter.

So he solemnly said:

"The horses made in the horse are the fine weapons of the country and the army. They only need to spend a little wood and recruit a dozen craftsmen to make them."

"If it's really useful, push it and use it, it can increase the army's sharp weapon. If it's useless, it doesn't cost much money, so why not give it a try?"

"Nowadays there are thieves outside and powerful ministers inside, but if the country can be stabilized, why should it be a craftsman or a craftsman?"

Hearing what Fu Xuan said, Cao Xi realized that the other party came here because he was worried about the country.

Regardless of whether the equipment the other party said is useful or not, but in terms of this kind of intention alone, he should not cool down the hearts of people with lofty ideals.

He quickly stood up and apologized:

"What the teacher taught me is that it is Xi who is narrow-minded."

It's just that Cao Xi once advised his elder brother's increasingly wanton and indulgent behavior, but Cao Shuang never listened to him.

If he used such trivial matters to persuade him, he would be ignored by Cao Shuang even more.

But fortunately, he also has another identity, that is, the leader in charge of the forbidden army.

"How about this, Mr. Fu, please go back and tell Ma Shizhong that I will inspect the equipment at the Forbidden Army Academy someday."

"If the utensils made in the horse affairs are really useful, I will recommend them to the general, how about it?"

Fu Xuan got up, with a happy expression on his face: "Good! The general is as open-minded as a valley. If there are more important ministers like generals in the court, why should Wei worry about it?"

Cao Xi referred to Fu Xuan as Mr. Fu Xuan, not as an official, but because he valued Fu Xuan's reputation.

Now that he has received such a compliment from Fu Xuan, no matter how sensible he is, he can't help but almost laugh out loud:

"Don't dare, sir, you are serious!"

After Fu Xuan achieved his goal, he breathed a sigh of relief:

This time I finally lived up to Ma Deheng's entrustment, if not, I will not be able to see him face to face in the future.

A few days later, Cao Xi did not break his promise, and went to the Forbidden Army Academy in person to inspect all kinds of equipment.

Under his instruction, Ma Jun's stone cannon was able to appear on the stage.

However, the sound of thunder suddenly falling on the school grounds was heard, and Cao Xi, who was unprepared, was completely shocked.

Looking at the pothole that was smashed out by the boulder, he couldn't help saying:

"In the past, Emperor Wu defeated Yuan Shao with a chariot made of stone. The sound was like a thunderbolt. Shao people called it a chariot with a thunderbolt. It was not an exaggeration!"

Although he was behind the goal, he never led the army.

Therefore, I still don't know the real difference between the stone cannon and the thunderbolt chariot, and the stone cannon is still called the thunderbolt chariot.

However, after seeing the true power of the stone cannon, Cao Xi couldn't help but praise Ma Jun greatly.

After returning, Cao Xi hurriedly went to see Cao Shuang, and told everything about the thunderbolt car.

At this time, Cao Shuang heard Cao Xizhi's words, and then remembered the fact that the fugitives from Shu had offered the blueprints.

For his brother, Cao Shuang must have a lot of trust, otherwise he wouldn't be in charge of the forbidden army.

It's just that the only bad thing is that Shuzhao (that is, Cao Xi) is too pedantic.

I always like to persuade myself by saying that state affairs are the most important thing.

At this time, when Cao Xi mentioned this matter, he repeatedly emphasized that this thing is of great use to the country, but he was trying to persuade him in a roundabout way, so he felt a little bit of resistance in his heart.

Besides, the thunderbolt car that Shuzhao was talking about was nothing new. Shuzhao had no experience in leading an army, so he didn't know about it.

However, Cao Shuang could only say:

"Don't worry, I have handed over this matter to Deng Xuanmao, and I will ask about it when the time comes."

After Cao Xi left, Cao Shuang summoned Deng Yang and asked about making utensils according to the drawings.

Deng Yang learned from Cao Shuang that Ma Jun actually bypassed him and demonstrated a new type of equipment in front of the leading general in the army, and he couldn't help but hate him.
