Wang Yi left, and there was an eerie silence in the military tent.

Because Wang Yu held his chin in one hand, with a thoughtful look on his face, although the generals were puzzled, they didn't dare to disturb, they could only look at each other, looking at each other, no one knew where this Fufeng Ma Deheng came from, as if he was scared of the lord.

The only one who behaved differently was Zhuge Liang who was standing beside Wang Yu, and the young strategist frowned, but it seemed that he was not thinking, but worrying about something.

Zhuge Liang had heard of this name. Wang Yu's hussar list has been rumored to be miraculous in the outside world, and the degree of secrecy within Qingzhou is also very high, but for Zhuge Liang, a counselor who has a confidential record to join the army, it is not difficult to take a look.

Only when you really see that list can you know how far the legend and reality are. The list is much more simple than everyone imagined, many of the names listed only have the most basic information, only one or two percent have the exact place of origin, most of them only have an approximate location, and even many people do not even have complete names.

For example, this Fufeng Ma Deheng is like this. In the list of Wang Yu's handwritten records, there is only a name and a small description of this person's specialty: Ma Jun, who is good at ingenuity.

Zhuge Liang knew that in addition to Yueying's girl, Ma Jun was the only person on the list who was mentioned to have expertise in this area, Mr. Wenhe has always been empathetic, knowing that the lord attaches great importance to craftsmanship, and has put a lot of effort into this person, and has really gradually improved this person's information.

Ma Jun was born poor, wooden, and stuttered, even the relatives and neighbors in his hometown couldn't say too many details about him. I only know that he seems to have worshipped a master when he was a child, teaching him to do some work such as ironwork and carpentry.

The social status of the craftsman is very low, far from being compared with the scholar, but the Ma family was originally a poor family, and he never expected to provide for the children to study, and being a craftsman can be regarded as having the ability to survive, which is not a good thing, so Ma's father also resigned himself to this and did not stop it.

Ma Jun is indeed very talented in this area, only studied for two or three years, and his skills have surpassed those old craftsmen who have been working for decades in the local area, and his reputation has even spread to Chang'an City.

Ma's father was of course overjoyed by this, thinking that the family situation was finally hopefully improving, but a few days after becoming famous, Ma Jun said goodbye to his parents, saying that he wanted to travel to the Central Plains with his master to improve his skills.

Of course, Ma's father was unwilling, but after several years of cultivation, Ma Jun has changed from a child who can only make promises to a very assertive teenager. Ma's father persuaded him to no avail, and in the end he could only let him go.

This is a matter of the Zhongping period, and the clue is interrupted when it is traced here. The Central Plains is full of smoke, order does not exist, it is not easy to track down a person's whereabouts, and Ma Jun seems to be incognito when he travels abroad, although it can occasionally be traced that there are clever craftsmen who have made some miraculous objects, but it is completely impossible to use this as a clue to trace Ma Jun's whereabouts.

Among the suspected works of Ma Jun, there is one thing that impresses Zhuge Liang extremely deeply. It's a thing called 'Water to a Hundred Opera', which basically works by using water as the power and a mechanical wooden wheel as the transmission device, so that the puppets can perform automatically.

At that time, Ma Jun probably had no travel expenses, so he went to the mansion of the later general Yuan Shu to meet him. Yuan Shu is the temper of a son, and he is most interested in these rare playthings, but he was also overjoyed when he saw Ma Jun's water transfer play, and rewarded Ma Jun heavily, and then he took things to show off everywhere, never thinking about keeping this clever craftsman.

Later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shu fled alone, and the water turned to a hundred operas was also lost, and the Intelligence Department failed to get the real thing, but there were many people who had seen the parties, and through the descriptions of these people, Ma Jun's craftsmanship could also be inferred.

Zhuge Liang is not a person who reads dead books, and he also has some research on craft manufacturing, and knows how amazing the skills of people who can create works with a complex structure such as water and a hundred operas in mechanical manufacturing will be.

Thinking about it a little deeper, if such a skill is used in a war facility, what kind of power will it show? No one knows better than Zhuge Liang what a person who is good at craft manufacturing will be like once he meets his bosom friend.

What was Yueying's state when she was in Jingzhou? When the young handsome people saw Huang Chengyan, they hid, and they didn't dare to be alone with him at all, for fear of being pulled to be their son-in-law. What now? The little girl is already the head of the Qingzhou General Division, and her position can be compared to the previous Jiuqing, or the kind that ranks very front!

Ma Jun made a hundred operas in the Zhongping period, when he was not a few years older than Yueying, which shows that this person is also a genius. Now, six or seven years have passed, what level of this person's karma will have reached?

Zhuge Liang pinched his eyebrows, and he had a headache. He was not surprised why Ma Jun chose to help Cao Cao instead of Wang Yu, who had a friendship with the same family.

The big truth, what Wang Yi said just now is already very clear, the purpose of Momen is to stop fighting, this Central Plains war is strategically inevitable, but on the surface, it was the Qingzhou army that took the initiative to attack Cao Cao's army. The tradition of Momen is to help the weaker side, and Cao Cao now seems to be quite weak.

Zhuge Liang also understood why he was beaten badly by the bed crossbow of the Qingzhou army, but Cao Cao was reluctant to come up with the means to press the bottom of the box. Presumably he has been in contact with Ma Jun for a while, and he deliberately didn't show the things on the weapon cheats book that Liu Ye offered, just pretending to be pitiful.

This pretending was almost two months, and after being in distress at the Tiger Prison Pass, he finally succeeded in impressing Ma Jun. This war is another variable.

"Lord, that Ma Deheng may be skilled, but ordnance production is not so simple, not to mention the need for a large number of skilled craftsmen, and it also takes a certain amount of energy and time to organize production, and Cao Jun may not be able to be strengthened in the first time. Now that Cao Cao has personally led a large army to help, our army may ...... Advantage in the quick battle? ”

"Hmm." Wang Yu nodded, and shook his head again: "Things may not be so simple, Cao Cao collected craftsmen in the summer and autumn of last year, with the strength he invested in this, how could there be some results." But until now, Cao Jun hasn't shown anything new, so he can't collect a large number of craftsmen, so just wait? ”

"That's true." Zhuge Liang's eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was very depressed by this accident.

Equipment suppression is one of the major trump cards that the Qingzhou Army can repeatedly take the opponent lightly and suffer very little losses. In this Central Plains War, the main attack of the Yan and Henan battlefields wants to win quickly, relying on siege equipment, once the gap in this area is leveled, how easy is it to achieve a quick victory?

Now that Sun Ce is leading the army to the north, Yuan Shu's fool is still dreaming, and when Sun Ce succeeds in the fire and loses Yuan Shu, and takes over Yuan Shu's territory and strength, Xuzhou will be in danger.

There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, and after Sun Ce annexes Yuan, the army will expand nearly doubled.

"He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, Kong Ming, it's useless to think more, and see what kind of action Cao Cao will take after the soldiers arrive, you all go back to the camp to rest, and wait for the next battle." Wang Yu didn't seem to care too much about this matter, waved his hand, and dismissed the generals.

"Obey!" The generals agreed loudly, Tai Shi Ci wanted to stay a little longer and say something, but Zhao Yun saw that Wang Yu still had something to discuss with Zhuge Liang in private, so he grabbed Tai Shi Ci and pulled him out directly.

After the generals retreated, Wang Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Kong Ming, you will write a letter to Wen Yuan and Han Sheng, and the two of them should be careful, beware of a large number of remote equipment suddenly appearing in the enemy's formation......"

“…… Chancellor understood. Zhuge Liang replied hesitantly, thought about it, and couldn't help asking: "Then Ma Deheng really has such skills?" ”

"I'm just guessing......," Wang Yu muttered: "Kong Ming, you don't know, Xu Gongqing didn't finish what he said that day, until he met Gongsun Shengji, I learned that as early as the Han Wu era, the Momen had been split into two branches, one was far away, inheriting the Mo family's concept of governing the world and the art of war, and the other was merged with the old enemy Lu Banmen, hidden in the market......"

"The relationship between these two branches should be a little incompatible, and maybe there are some secrets behind it, such as the struggle for the name of orthodoxy...... Therefore, I have been in charge of Qingzhou for several years, and a group of people who are good at craftsmanship in Momen have come to serve. According to Wang Yi's words, it is speculated that behind the two brothers and sisters, there may not be three hundred children! ”

In that year, Mo Zhai stopped Chu and the Song Dynasty, and competed with the public loss class in front of the king of Chu for offensive and defensive means, and finally convinced the public loss class. The latter was not convinced, and said to Mo Zhai in private, In fact, I still have a way to deal with you, but I don't say it. Mo Zhai replied with a smile: My disciple Yu Huali and other three hundred people have been waiting in the Song Kingdom for a long time, even if you instigate the King of Chu to kill me, it is useless.

Wang Yu's guess is that after the merger of Momen and Gongyi, I am afraid that they have all gathered around Ma Jun. If Cao Cao had made contact with Ma Jun early enough, he could have made a large number of parts first, leaving only the core components untouched, waiting for Ma Jun and his party to complete it by themselves.

This kind of process decomposition was very common in later generations, and it was still too advanced in the Han Dynasty, but it was the combination of the inheritance of the two gods of Luban and Mo Zhai, and it may not be impossible to achieve such a project.

As for why it is speculated that Cao Cao will first put new weapons on the Eastern Front, rather than the Tiger Pass. Wang Yu analyzed it from a strategic point of view, and now the key to attacking the Tiger Pass is not the Tiger Pass itself, but the peripheral defense facilities and the containment of the main force of the Cao army.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong's offensive was rapid, and Guo Gong was completely defeated at the touch of a button, and he urgently needed weapons to resist the siege equipment of the Qingzhou army.

If the eastern front is divided early, then the two lines of soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw will complete the convergence, even if Sun Ce completely annexes Yuan Shu, he will have to face the two lines of soldiers and horses who support each other, not the lone army of Xuzhou. The favorable situation that Cao Cao had painstakingly created no longer existed, and of course he would be in a hurry.

"The minister understands," Zhuge Liang nodded, with a hesitant look on his face, but still reminded: "Lord, the matter that the military advisor said, do you also need to make some arrangements?" ”

"This ......" Wang Yu was also quite hesitant, thought about it, and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, you will be outside, there is no need to intervene more." ”
