There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

But the potter feels that the only thing that is not beautiful is that when he saw the two children, they didn't hold fans in their hands.

This made the potter very upset, and he criticized Zhuge Liang first.

"Why don't you bring a fan?"

Zhuge Liang's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head, moved his feet shyly, and said: "Teacher, it's winter, and it's not too hot, so the students will forget about it."

"That's not okay, go home and get it! Come talk to me after you get the fan... Don't take good things with you. Remember, people will recognize those things after 2000."

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to turn around and go back to get the fan, leaving Sima Yi alone laughing there.

The pottery merchant squinted at Sima Yi.

"What are you happy about? Do you think it's nothing to do with you? You also go home to get your fan."

Sima Yi's face instantly turned green.

"Teacher, my fan is too shabby, it's the same as the one that was burned, can I not use it?"

"No! Why don't you use a good thing! It's a waste of money. Your fan is more expensive than Zhuge Liang's. Only a living Buddha can use a palm fan after 1000 years!"

Sima Yi had no choice but to go back.

When they were young, the two faced the autumn wind, shaking their fans, and appeared in front of the potter like two happy little girls.

Only then did the potter feel satisfied.

Zhuge Liang not only brought a fan, but also a model object for the potter to observe.

"Teacher, look, this is a crossbow designed by a student recently. Teacher please observe it."

The potter was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly picked up the model Zhuge Liang sent, and looked at it carefully.

Zhuge Liang stood aside and explained to the potter: "I already had Liannu in my previous generation, but I didn't shoot many arrows. The students followed the foundation of the Liannu of the previous generation and made a little improvement, and they could fire ten arrows in a row. The iron crossbow arrow with a length of eight inches is divided into six parts, which are the outer shell, the hanging knife, the ox, the pivot, the Wangshan, and the teeth. This crossbow can be made large or small according to the needs. Machines, set up at the top of the city, the small ones can be used as crossbowmen, and can be used to form continuous crossbow battalions, land and water battles."

The potter fiddled with the model crossbow back and forth, and asked, "Is your crossbow considered perfect? ​​How many can you shoot in succession?"

Zhuge Liang explained to the potter: "Students think that their thinking is perfect. This crossbow has two advantages. One is that it is powerful and can shoot ten arrows in a row. The other is that it has a high hit. It is stronger than the longbow, but it is also insufficient."

The potter turned to look at him and said, "Which point is lacking?"

"The production is complicated, and the iron arrows used also need to be specially made..."

The potter smiled lightly and said: "For others, this matter may be a difficult task, but we have no shortage of iron mines in Jinling. Even if we can't manufacture them in large quantities, we can support a battalion of [-] to [-] Liannu. It should still be barely doable.”

Speaking of this, the potter put the crossbow machine model on the table and said: "I will order Han Hao to start building in the city in the future, and let Jiang Qin select soldiers from the navy to form a continuous crossbow battalion... Liangliang, do you have any blueprints in your hand?"

Zhuge Liang nodded his head vigorously, and said: "The students are almost ready, and they are waiting for the teacher to make a decision... But if the teacher did not insist on the students, the students might not have thought of this level."

The potter nodded in satisfaction, he saw Zhuge Liang's efforts.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Sima Yi, and said with a straight face: "Liangliang still has time to make such utensils without delaying his studies. Xiaoyi, as a senior, you still need to understand things, and you have to work hard to match him." It is."

Sima Yi's face turned red all of a sudden.

He wiped his nose lightly, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, although the student is not as talented as the younger brother, he has never missed his homework...and I have also researched a lot of good things."

The potter raised his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes was very sharp.

"You still dare to quibble? Take a look at what you have studied as a teacher."

Sima Yi took a careful look at Zhuge Liang, and then just escaped from the sleeve a roll of cloth, and carefully handed it to the potter.

When the potter opened it casually, his eyes straightened.

"This is spring..."

"Hush!" Sima Yi vigorously stroked his lips with his finger: "Teacher, don't speak loudly!"

Tao Shang glanced at the bewildered Zhuge Liang lightly, then stretched out his hand to call Sima Yi to him, and said in a low voice:

"I copied it with heart, full of voice and emotion, informative content, extremely valuable for research and reference... But I don't understand, how did you, a young man without human experience, come up with this?"

Sima Yi said respectfully: "Although the students have never been to the battle in person, they have watched secretly..."

"Snapped!"

The pottery merchant slapped Sima Yi's head hard with the roll of leather pictures, and said angrily, "You didn't learn well at such a young age, and you actually did that voyeuristic thing, you really should be beaten... like you, what will you do in the future?" Gentleman? Go home and face the wall to reflect, and your things will be confiscated!"

Sima Yi was criticized, and stood aside with drooping eyebrows.

But Zhuge Liang suddenly made a deep bow to the potter, and said: "The student has one more request, and I want to ask the teacher to agree."

Zhuge Liang's move was already within the expectation of the potter.

"The teacher is about to send troops to pacify the south. Are you planning to go to Yuzhang County with me? Yes, after all, your uncle, elder brother, and younger brother are all in Nanchang... You are also fourteen years old, so you can come with me Let's go out together to practice and experience... Forget it, this time to quell Yangzhou, I will bring you with me to fulfill your dream of reuniting your brothers."

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and showed a sincere smile.

"Thank you teacher."

Sima Yi panicked when he heard that.

"I, I'm going too!"

The potter turned to look at him: "Liangliang is going to Nanchang to meet his uncle and brother. Your brother is in Jinling City. What are you going to do?"

Sima Yi's face was a little red, and he said in a low voice: "I, I can't bear to be bright."

Zhuge Liang felt a chill all over his body suddenly, and acid water regurgitated in his stomach.

He turned his head to look at Sima Yi, and sighed: "Brother, if you want to go, you can tell the teacher directly, why use me as an excuse? You know I almost threw up just now."

Sima Yi rolled his eyes at him: "I just can't bear you, why?"

"Okay, okay! Xiaoyi has grown up too, so it's good to go to experience it together. There are no decent opponents on the left and right, so nothing big will happen if you think about it."

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi bowed to thank each other.

Zhuge Liang straightened up, sighed with emotion, and said: "Teacher, to be honest, although the students are young, they are not afraid of swords and guns. The teacher said that there is no opponent to pacify Jiangnan this time, which really makes the students feel sorry. I have studied under the table for several years, but I also hope that my skills will be useful."

Sima Yi also laughed and said: "That's not true! The students still hope to meet someone who is stronger, and let Liangliang and I take care of him."

……

Jiujiang County, Shouchun City.

"Ahh~!"
