Neither Ma Jun nor Chen Gui expected that Lu Bu's reaction would be so big.

Ma Jun stammered: "Huh... My lord, this... This thing can... It can drive the pump, but it is not very useful, and I am afraid that it will not be worth it... The Lord's reward. ”

The steam engine was invented by Ma Jun, and the stereotypes are not easy to belittle, but looking at his expression, this is also the meaning.

"Isn't it very useful?"

Lu Bu chuckled lightly and said, "Let's give this thing a name first, how about calling it a steam engine?" ”

"Good name."

There is nothing wrong with a steam-driven machine, called a steam engine.

Lu Bu continued: "The steam engine seems to be ordinary, but its actual use is far beyond your imagination. He can drive the pumping machine, and he can drive the equipment in the factory. Things like brewing, making paper, weaving, and even crafting weapons can speed things up. “

"And our eight-horse chariot, which can abandon the war horse and use the air flow to promote..."

"Our warships, which have been rowed by hand, are too slow. If you use air currents, you can not only build a giant warship, but also speed up the voyage. Traveling thousands of miles in a day, who is the enemy? “

"Tell me how useful the steam engine can be? In my opinion, he is even more powerful than the assault rifle and the redcoat cannon. “

"This..."

Ma Jun was dumbfounded!

He never dreamed that what he had invented unintentionally would be comparable to a gun invented by a stereotype.

"My father-in-law is so powerful, just by the boiler and gas pump in front of me, I can think of so much." The mood of the stereotype is a little complicated. He originally thought that the steam engine was just a small object, and even if Lu Bu valued it, it would not be a big credit. Unexpectedly, the steam engine could drive chariots and warships, and its work was already comparable to the assault rifle and redcoat cannon he invented.

"I... I did it.... “

Ma Jun was also immersed in the joy of inventing the steam engine.

Lu Bu poured a basin of cold water on him: "But... With the boiler and gas cylinder in front of you, it is not a steam engine. You should think about how you can combine these two things to make it easy to use. Try to control their volume and weight. “

"And what I just said about using air currents to drive chariots and warships is just a bold idea, and it takes a lot of time and effort to study and prove. Turn your vision into reality. “

"Poof..." Chen Gui couldn't help but laugh secretly.

There is a long distance between imagination and reality, and it may not become a reality in a lifetime.

"Uh..."

The stereotype was also very embarrassed, but he did not lose his fighting spirit, and hugged his fists and said: "Lord... The lord is assured, humble... Humble will definitely be... Turning ideas into reality. “

"Yes."

Lu Bu believes that Ma Jun will be able to do it.

Shouchun East City.

Dongcheng has a large number of private houses and luxurious courtyards, which is the first choice for wealthy families to live.

The people of the Sun clan were arranged here.

Silent night.

In a certain courtyard, a lot of people gathered.

Sun Quan sighed: "I really regret it, I shouldn't have surrendered to Lu Bu.... “

All the civil and military officers had sad faces.

"It's useless to talk about that now. I propose to retake Jiaozhou. Huang Gai said.

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say this publicly." Zhou Yu said.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yu said with palpitations: "Lu Bu's army is extremely strong in combat. Even Zhuge Liang's 600,000 army can't be defeated, how can we compete? Even if you take it by surprise and can capture one or two cities, you will be surrounded, and the ending can be imagined? ”

Zhou Yu's words were very direct, but they clarified Sun's current situation. In any case, there can be no more fighting.

Lu Su said: "In this case, there is only one way to take refuge in the princes first. When you have the strength, you will plan again. ”

"Yes."

This reminded them of Liu Bei. When Liu Bei started his business, he was Gongsun Zhan, who took refuge first, deceived thousands of soldiers and horses, and then voted for Tao Qian, if it weren't for the rise of Lu Bu, Xuzhou would still be Liu Bei's.

Although he failed to hold Xuzhou, Liu Bei strengthened his strength, and repeated his old tricks, defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and finally captured Jingzhou.

If Liu Bei is emulated, maybe the Sun family still has a chance of life.

It was approved by all the civil and military forces.

Sun Quan asked, "Then who should we turn to?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Except for Lu Bu, Yuan Shao is the strongest. However, from Shouchun to Hebei, the road is too far, and it is easy to be caught up by Lu Bu. If you take refuge in Cao Cao, you will pass the three counties of Yuzhang. ”

"No, I can't. Cao Cao and Lu Bu are in alliance and have a close relationship, so they won't turn their faces for us. Cheng Pudao.

"To go to Yanzhou is to throw yourself into the net!"

At this point in the analysis, the goal is clear.

In everyone's minds, a name came to mind---- Liu Bei!

"Liu Bei is attacking Yizhou, and the battle is difficult. If we help him, we may be able to gain his trust. You must know that now he has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and his strength is not as good as before, so he should urgently get our help. Lu Su said.

"Yizhou is a good place for development.... Everyone discussed it one after another, and finally reached an agreement.

Sun Quan clenched his fists and said, "Okay, let's go to Yizhou!" “

Early the next morning.

A thick fog permeated Shouchun City. As a result, pedestrians on the street have a blocked line of sight, and even if they are separated by a foot, it is difficult to see each other clearly.

Sun Quan took his family and vassals, disguised as a troupe, and prepared to leave the city.

City gates.

Zhang Hu, the chief soldier of the Yin Mansion, came to patrol very early. The soldiers standing guard were instructed to arrest all suspicious persons (armed with knives and night clothes) and to search the vehicles entering the city.

This is what the Yin Mansion has to do every day, regardless of whether the arrested person is a bad person or not, he must first take it to the government office for investigation, and then release him if he is fine. It won't affect anything.

Zhang Hu is very serious in his work. Rounds are made every day.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw more than 20 horse-drawn carriages driving out of the city.

"Stop."

Without waiting for Zhang Hu's orders, the soldiers standing guard stopped the convoy and inspected it one by one.

Zhang Hu stood beside him, staring at the carriages.

The search was quickly completed and no problems were found. The soldier standing guard waved his hand and said, "Let's go." “

"Go, go..." The horsemen shouted loudly, and the convoy quickly left the city.

"Huh?"

Zhang Hu felt that something was wrong.

There doesn't seem to be such a big troupe in the city. And the actors are acting, they are all in Nancheng, they should go out from Nancheng, how did they come to Dongcheng?

At this moment, Sun Shangxiang, who was sitting in the last carriage, couldn't help but poke out his head curiously, wanting to take one last look at Shouchun City. As soon as she poked out her little head, she was locked by Zhang Hu. Although I wore makeup, my face shape did not change.

Zhang Hu recognized it from afar, and shouted: "Stop that convoy!" ”

"Stop! Hold it! ”

A dozen soldiers followed the convoy and chased after it.

Huang Gai held a long sword in his hand, jumped out of the carriage, and shouted: "Protect the lord and go first, I will block the pursuers!" ”

Puff puff...

Huang Gai held his breath and wanted to do it for a long time. In the face of the twelve soldiers of the Ling Yin Mansion, they slashed continuously, and all the anger accumulated since the capture was sprinkled on them.

In just five rounds, everyone was eliminated.
