Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077 Improvements

Thinking about the treatment of the Shu Han, and looking at the current treatment, Yang Yi felt even more regretful:

"If I stay in the west, even if I won't be in power, I'm afraid others would not dare to neglect me so openly."

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 even higher than when he was in Guanzhong.

"If it wasn't for this, how could I have ended up in such a situation? After all, it's not because the Prime Minister blames the unfair rewards and punishments, but the Feng thief is arrogant and domineering?"

snort!

While thinking wildly, Deng Yang finally put away those blueprints, and said to Yang Yi:

"Mr. Yang recognizes the evil and the good, and if he wants to avoid disaster, he will obey it, and he will go back to the way. It is very honorable. At this time, it must be hard work to come from a long distance. Why don't you go down and rest first."

"This matter is of great importance. How about I report it to the General and see how the General makes a decision?"

At this time, Yang Yi, what else can she say? Naturally, what the other party says is what she wants.

After arranging Yang Yi, Deng Yang sat there and meditated.

He made that appearance just now, half of it was pretending.

According to Yang Yi, these items in the army are the secrets of the Shu captives' repeated victories over the years.

Whether these words are true or not, it is always right to give it a try.

So he still took the blueprint and reported to Cao Shuang again.

Cao Shuang returned to the General's Mansion from Deng's Mansion not long ago, and he was a little surprised when he learned that Deng Yang followed him:

"Didn't you say that this matter should be handed over to Xuan Mao? Why is Xuan Mao here again?"

Taichung Sangou gained more and more trust from Cao Shuang.

In Cao Shuang's view, this matter is just a trivial matter, and he believes that Deng Yang can handle it well.

Deng Yang didn't hide anything this time, and told all the conversations he had with Yang Yi just now.

Cao Shuang didn't take it seriously when he heard the words:

"Didn't Xuanmao say before that this person deliberately exaggerated his words to show off his intentions?"

"Why did you get moved by Yang Yi after meeting him?"

Because I wanted to cover up my mistakes earlier, I naturally wanted to say those words.

Deng Yang was a little embarrassed, but this time, he got himself into it.

He proposed carefully:

"General, in my opinion, why don't you let someone build these things first?"

"Anything you want." Cao Shuang waved his hand and yawned, "It's good for someone to build it for a try."

Cao Shuang is a big fat man. The fat man is physically weak. In addition, he tossed too much last night, which has caused him to be a little listless.

Deng Yang saw Cao Shuang like this, and knew that it was not appropriate to mention this matter again, so he had to promise.

Then he told the things about Feng Zei and Wei Yan that he had learned from Yang Yi.

Probably listening to gossip is human nature.

When he learned that the generals in the Shu army were at odds, Cao Shuang also became energetic immediately.

"Is this really true?"

"It's just that Yang Yi's family's statement is true. I can't directly draw a conclusion. I have to find a way to find out and confirm it."

Cao Shuang said "Oh" when he heard this, and said with some regret:

"At this time, Ge thief had just died, and the puppet emperor of Shu had just been in power. If there were any conflicts between the two highest-ranking generals in the Shu army, it would be a great thing for Wei."

In the past, this matter might still be handed over to Sima Yi, but at this moment, tsk!

"Xuan Mao thought, how should we prove this?"

Deng Yang thought for a while and suggested:

"Why don't you ask Sun Deda, governor of Jizhou, to find a way to try?"

"this…"

Cao Shuang originally wanted to say something like "Jizhou and Guanzhong are not connected, so if you want to investigate, it's not easy."

But as soon as Deng Yang mentioned Sun Li, it reminded him suddenly that Qinghe County and Pingyuan County were fighting for land boundary, and Sun Li finally awarded the disputed land to Pingyuan.

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Shuang felt a shock in his heart.

Originally, the Cui family of Qinghe had already agreed with Cao Shuang. If Cao Shuang could really handle the matter of land and boundary struggle well, he would be thankful afterwards.

In Cao Shuang's view, if he can fulfill the wish of the Qinghe Cui family, he can also take the opportunity to win over the aristocratic families in Hebei.

Never thought that Sun De would arrive in Jizhou, and regardless of his own opinion, he directly took out the official map, saying that it was to be divided according to the land boundary in the year when the first emperor made Pingyuan king.

When the news reached Xuchang, Cao Shuang even said that the official map was too vague to be used as a reference, so Sun Li asked the local elders again to say what he said.

Unexpectedly, Sun Li never thought of making him, a great general, lose face.

No In the end, instead of changing his mind, he wrote a memorial.

Bluntly said that if Qinghe County does not accept the result of the handling, it is a manifestation of the weakness and incompetence of the governor of Jizhou.

Words such as "weak and incompetent" and "vegetarian meals for corpses" 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 the court to convict Sun Li of slandering an important minister.

The handling of this matter really made Cao Shuang lose face in front of Qinghe Cui.

At the same time, it also let the aristocratic family, who was already a fool, see that Cao Shuang's status was not stable.

It is more difficult for Cao Shuang to win over the aristocratic family.

So you said, can Cao Shuang not hate Sun Li so much?

It's just that there is no one else except Sun Li who can get in touch with Shangdang.

And I heard that it was Wei Yan who led the attack on Shangdang.

So Cao Shuang thought and thought, and finally endured the shock and nodded:

"Forget it, send someone to inform Sun Deda to see if he can investigate the matter."

"No."

When Sun Li received the news from Cao Shuang from Xuchang, he immediately sneered:

"Cao Zhaobo tried to transfer me to leave Xuchang, and now he has fulfilled his wish?"

"How long has it been, and how many things happened in Xuchang?"

Deng Xuanmao, who changed his wife from an official position, is still not satisfied with marrying a princess He Pingshu (He Yan), and Ding Yanjing (Ding Mi).

Taichung Sangou, which one is not a guy who has a reputation for nothing and can do nothing?

Sun Li was personally promoted by Cao Rui to be the chief general, and it is natural that Cao Wei is still loyal.

I learned of the changes in Xuchang at this time, and I feel regretful in my heart.

Just thinking about what Cao Shuang did, 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 admit it at this time. It can be seen that he has no respect for the late emperor at all."

Recalling the ardor of the late emperor when he appointed Cao Shuang as a general and entrusted the crown prince to him, Sun Li couldn't help sighing:

"If the former Emperor Huang Quan had knowledge, I don't know if he would regret letting Cao Bozhao take on the big responsibility."

He could tell that Sima Yi in Luoyang might have ambitions, but on the surface at least he respected the Wei imperial family.

Although Cao Shuang is a member of the clan, he has begun to lose the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

What will happen to the Great Wei in the future really makes Sun Li feel a little confused.

But what Cao Shuang arranged this time made Sun Li cheer up a little bit.

If Feng Zei, the number one general of the two Shu captives, disagrees with Wei Yan, it would be an opportunity for Great Wei.

While Sun Li was thinking about how to carry out the investigation of the news, Wei Guo of Xuchang assigned a task to Ma Jun.

That is to create some weapons and equipment according to the drawings.

When Ma Jun was young, he lived in poverty, and because he stuttered since he was a child, he was not good at talking.

After becoming a Ph.D., my life still hasn't changed much, so I improved the satin weaving machine, and then I became famous.

When he became the director, he wanted to build the legendary compass car.

Guan Che Huangdi's legendary object was created by Zhang Heng in the later Han Dynasty, but the method has been lost.

Knowing that Ma Jun wanted to reproduce the compass car, Gao Tanglong, a highly respected minister of the Wei State, and Qin Lang, a trusted general of Cao Rui, once obstructed it.

Both Gao Longtang and Qin Lang believed that the ancient legends were not enough to be believed.

Qin Lang even mocked Ma Jun's name and said:

"Mr.'s name is Jun, and the character is Deheng. Jun is the shape of the utensil, and the weight can determine the weight of the object."

"Sir, you don't even know the weight and size standards of the guide car, so you dare to say that you can manufacture the guide car. Don't you feel ashamed of your name?"

Ma Jun was born in poverty, and his official position was too low compared to Gao Longtang and Qin Lang.

Coupled with his stutter, he is often looked down upon.

But he has a kind of tenacity in him, and he must do what he believes in.

The three of them even made a fuss in front of Cao Rui. Cao Rui was very interested and ordered Ma Jun to build a compass car.

After continuous trial and error, Ma Jun finally succeeded in building a guide car by using the construction principle of the differential gear.

This incident made Gao Tanglong and Qin Lang lose face, and at the same time, it also made Ma Jun's reputation for skillful hands spread throughout the court.

It is a pity that Ma Jun's successful slap in the face did not bring him much benefit when he offended the senior officials of the Wei Dynasty and the emperor's most trusted officials.

After Cao Rui learned of Ma Jun's skillful hands, he didn't ask him to make more useful things.

Instead, let Ma Jun create entertainment for himself.

Once, someone presented a puppet show to Cao Rui. The shape was quite exquisite, but those puppets could only be placed there and could not move. Cao Rui felt quite regretful.

At this time, he thought of Ma Jun who was known as the skillful hand, so he summoned Ma Jun and asked:

"Can you animate these puppets?"

Ma Jun used wood to make a driving wheel, which was driven by water to make it rotate, and through the transmission mechanism, the puppets beat drums and danced.

It is known as "Water Turning Baixi", and its structure is extremely exquisite.

Cao Rui was very happy that this plaything was created, but Ma Jun's official career was still not making any progress.

Within two years, the Guanzhong War broke out, and Cao Rui died of illness. In the chaos that lasted for more than half a year, even Shang Shuling Pei Qian disappeared.

Not to mention a little guy like Ma Jun.

If Cao Shuang hadn't ordered people to build the equipment according to the plan, I'm afraid Ma Jun would not be remembered until when.

"Good... good... good stuff!"

Although he was neglected for so long, Ma Jun's eyes lit up as soon as he got the blueprint.

After seeing the parts and assembled objects clearly, he became even more excited.

It's just that he stuttered, and when he got excited, he became a little incoherent:

"Wonderful, wonderful, the ingenuity of this thing, really, really... It's really a coincidence!"

Yang Yi, who was sent here, has suffered from the warmth and coldness of the world these days.

At this time, it was not easy for someone to see the value of the drawings he sent over. He was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

Happy is that someone affirms himself, but sadly this is just a small official—not to mention a stutterer!

too difficult!

It's just that at this point, he can only do his best to prove that the things he sent are worth a thousand gold, and then he can be valued by the general.

Under this mentality, he fully assisted Ma Jun in building these instruments.

Among these things, Ma Jun paid the most attention to that stone cannon.

After he successfully built it, he was still not very satisfied. He studied and improved it day and night, and finally created a new type of wheeled 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 the big stones can be launched continuously.

Although it is not as good as a large stone cannon, it is light, and its range is not low, and it can be thrown automatically. If it can be popularized in the army, it will be a powerful weapon in the army.

After finishing the equipment, Ma Jun excitedly ran to Deng Yang to inform Deng Yang of the result.

"It was made so quickly? Listen to Yang Yi's words, this kind of equipment is the secret of the Shu army. Didn't you build something at random to fool me?"

Deng Yang looked suspiciously at Ma Jun in front of him.

At this time, it is already entering the scorching summer. Ma Jun has been immersed in research these days, where is the time to take care of himself?

Not only was his body dirty, but he also had a lot of sawdust on his body, not to mention a sour smell when he got close.

"Chang Shi, how dare this subordinate lie to you?"

When Ma Jun heard what Deng Yang said, he immediately became a little anxious.

He stepped forward two steps, as if he wanted to explain clearly, but the movement was a little bigger, and the sour smell on his body immediately wafted away, making Deng Yang cover his nose:

"Stop, just stand there, I can hear you, what did you build?"

"Stone cannon!" Ma Jun waved excitedly, "The stone cannons of the Shu captives are really powerful, but the officials have improved them to create a lighter and more useful stone cannon."

"Stone cannon?"

"Exactly, it is similar to the thunderbolt chariot used by Emperor Wu in the first battle at Guandu..."

Before he finished speaking, Deng Yang understood:

"Oh, I know!"

Isn't it the thunderbolt car that the Shu captives stole from somewhere?

Yang Yi said that the Shu captives had been improved and were more powerful than the original thunder chariot, and the stones fell like thunder.

Now you say that after improvement, it is even more improved than the Shu captives?

For example, what is more powerful than Lei Tianjiang?

God descends to earth?

Deng Yang smiled:

"Let me ask you, besides Thunderbolt, have you built other objects?"

Ma Jun originally wanted to say that the thunderbolt chariot used by Emperor Wu was quite different from the stone cannons made today.

But Mr. Chang Shi seems to have decided that it is the thunderbolt car.

Okay, the thunderbolt car is the thunderbolt car.

Didn't want to see Deng Yang's appearance, as if he didn't take this important weapon in the army seriously.

He immediately became anxious:

"Deng...Deng...Deng...Changshi..."

But the more anxious I was, the more speechless I became.

PS: No money for the following:

Regarding Deng Yang's appearance and demeanor, the book has written relatively restrained. In fact, Guan Ren, who showed Deng Yang's face, had an even more exaggerated statement: ghost dryness.

The vernacular is that he is obviously a person, but he looks like a ghost.

Second, about Cao Shuang.

When arguing about history on the Internet, some people always defend themselves with words like "history is tampered with by the victors".

This sentence is correct.

But in fact, I don't recommend that you say this sentence lightly.

Because those who have the confidence to say this sentence, they know this period of history or this historical event, there are conflicts in various historical records, and the records in official history may not be all correct, so they dare to say this sentence.

Take the most typical two things. One is that Dayu succeeded the tribal leader, and the official history said that he came by abdication.

However, according to some scattered historical materials such as "Bamboo Book Chronicle", "Han Feizi" and Cao Pi succeeding Emperor Han, he seized power through **** political struggle.

There is also Zhuge Liang's fourth Northern Expedition. In the historical materials written by the Wei people, it is said that Sima Yi defeated Zhuge Liang, but the actual mainstream historical data is that Zhuge Liang defeated Sima Yi.

That is to say, if you want to say "history has been tampered with", you must at least present relevant historical materials to prove your point.

Otherwise, what people say is a dialectical view of history, and if you imitate others, you will become imitation and historical nihilism.

According to conspiracy theory, all Chinese history books can be burned, and there is no point in keeping them. After all, we can recompile a set at any time.

Closer to home, what about the historical records about Cao Shuang?

Intimidating the Queen Mother, sleeping with the women left by Cao Rui, comparing clothing and utensils to emperors, blatantly embezzling royal properties, indulging his subordinates to amass money, exiling officials in the court, believing greedy words, leading an army to conquer Shu and return in defeat, etc.

These things are what he has done in power for ten years. I don't see any cleverness in him.

These things are not only in Cao Shuang's biography, but also in the biographies of relevant personnel. They are mutually confirmed and there is no contradiction.

If these things are said to be black Cao Shuang, then Cao Shuang's status in history is probably far higher than Dayu and Sima Yi.

Because Dayu and Sima Yi were not so perfect by PS, there are still black materials exposed, and the records of Cao Shuang's doing these things were actually not flawed by PS.

is it possible? (There may be conflicts in historical materials, just because I read too few books and don't know. If there are any, please correct me.)

I would rather believe that Cao Shuang really did these things.

So he is really stupid. Indulging Taichung Sangou, playing a good hand of cards to pieces, I can't think of any explanation for him other than being stupid.

This conclusion is not from the author, but from Huan Fan, an ally of Cao Shuang:

Beautiful Cao Zidan gave birth to your brother, Du Er! What is the plan to let your family die today!

In the change of Gaoping Mausoleum, Sima Yi swore to Luoshui in front of the emperor, courtiers, and soldiers to make Cao Shuang a rich man.

At that time, everyone believed in Sima Yi, and some even gave him a guarantee. Only Huan Fan opposed Cao Shuang's surrender.

Regardless of whether Huan Fan's suggestion at the time could deal with Sima Yi, he was indeed the only sober person present, and he did exactly what happened to Cao Shuang and his followers: extermination of the clan.

After all, no one expected that Sima Yi would be able to lower the bottom line of China's political morality.
