"Madam, come with me!"
Yang Ling chuckled, without explaining too much, and led Zhang Xingcai and his son and daughter out of the lobby.
At this moment, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others walked over.
"I've met my eldest brother (King Qi)!"
"I met my sister-in-law (Princess!)"
It turned out that they knew about Zhang Xingcai’s arrival and came here specifically to see him!
"You came at the right time. You all came together with Gu."
Yang Ling greeted with a smile.
Although everyone was confused, they still followed Yang Ling towards the backyard.
The backyard of the county government hall is generally used as the residence of the county magistrate.
Yang Ling led everyone to an attic.
Jiange County is built on the mountain, and the county government hall is located at the highest point in the city.
After everyone climbed to the attic, they could see the situation in the city, and even the mountains in the distance were vaguely visible.
"Brother, why did you bring us here?"
Zhao Yun said a little confused.
"Uncle Zilong doesn't know. Your sister-in-law Yueying invented something called a telescope and asked me to send it over."
"Your eldest brother is about to show us the telescope."
Zhang Xingcai explained with a smile.
"Telescope? What is that?"
"It sounds like you can see things in the distance?"
Everyone guessed.
"Yes, if you stand at a high place, with this object, you can have a clear view of the situation within a ten-mile radius!"
Yang Ling smiled.
After the hot air balloon took off, he came up with the idea of inventing the telescope.
After all, a telescope paired with a hot air balloon is simply an ancient version of a spy satellite!
So Yang Ling told Huang Yueying how to make glass.
According to his request, the craftsman workshop found quartz sand, limestone, feldspar and other raw materials, mixed them in different proportions, and went through melting, shaping, annealing and other procedures, and finally successfully fired the glass.
After subsequent polishing, several telescopes were produced.
"real or fake?"
Guanqiu Jian's expression was a bit dubious.
Jiang Wei on the side laughed loudly.
"Third brother, you are still young! What the teacher says is almost impossible!"
"That's right, don't forget that King Qi can fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!"
Cao Zhen also joked with a smile.
"It's student Meng Lang!"
Guanqiu Jian rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
After he became sworn sworn friends with Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, Yang Ling also took him under his wing.
"Since Zhong Gong doesn't believe it, then my master will cut your buttocks with a knife to open your eyes."
Yang Ling chuckled, pondered for a moment, pointed to a big tree on the edge of the city and asked,
"Do you know what kind of tree that is?"
Everyone was located in the center of the city, far away from the edge of the city. They could only vaguely see a big tree, but what kind it was was unknown.
Guanqiu Jian just glanced at it and shook his head honestly.
"Students don't know!"
Yang Ling raised the monocular telescope in his hand and looked over. After a moment, he said with absolute certainty,
"It's a locust tree! If Zhong Gong doesn't believe it, just see it for yourself."
He said and handed the binoculars to Guanqiu Jian.
Guan Qiujian took it carefully, and under Yang Ling's guidance, he pointed in the direction of the big tree, closed his other eye, and looked over.
It didn't matter what he looked at, he was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear!
The big tree several miles away actually appeared in his field of vision lifelike.
As Yang Ling said, it was indeed a locust tree!
Guan Qiujian subconsciously took a few steps back and almost dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground!
Seeing his appearance, everyone couldn't help but become curious!
"Zhong Gong, what exactly did you see?"
"Yes, tell me quickly!"
Guanqiu Jian came to his senses and said with a wry smile,
"Look!"
After everyone took turns to see it, they all looked shocked!
None of them expected that this object called a telescope would be so magical!
"If we have this thing and a hot air balloon, do we still have to worry about not being able to detect the enemy's movements?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly looked up and down at Yang Ling with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with being a teacher?"
Yang Ling said strangely.
"Sometimes students think that the teacher might be the reincarnation of a goblin!"
Jiang Wei said quietly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They were still able to accept Yang Ling's invention previously.
But hot air balloons that can fly into the sky and telescopes that can see thousands of miles away are simply beyond their imagination!
There is no other explanation except that Yang Ling is a monster.
"Okay, you dare to insult the teacher, do you believe I will send you to the kitchen?"
Yang Ling laughed and cursed.
"No, teacher, students will never dare again!"
Jiang Wei quickly begged for mercy.
Everyone burst into laughter!
A total of five monocular telescopes were made in the craftsman's workshop.
Except for one he kept for himself, Yang Ling either gave the rest to generals like Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, or arranged them on hot air balloons used for patrolling and warning.
…
Fucheng.
"I wish the Southern Barbarian King a successful trip and a triumphant return!"
Liu Bei raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Meng Huo.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not let His Majesty down!"
Meng Huo took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then he turned around, took Mrs. Zhu Rong and other barbarian soldiers, and left Fucheng in a majestic manner.
Watching them leave, Liu Bei, who was originally smiling, turned worried and sighed longly.
"Mr. Xiaozhi, do you think Meng Huo and others can be relied on?"
"Whether it is reliable or not, there is no other way!"
Fazheng also looked helpless.
Once the Jianmen Pass is lost, the door of Yizhou opens wide.
The national and military power of Shu Han was far from that of Cao Wei!
Now they can only drag it on until Cao Wei himself reveals his flaws!
Meng Huo on the other side had no idea that he had become the hope of the whole village.
He was humming a little tune and led a group of tribesmen into the forest outside Fucheng.
"Barbarian King, according to the map provided to us by the Han people, we have to walk northward in this mountain forest for several days before we can get around to the back of Jianmen Pass."
The Nanman general brought Yang Feng, the cave master, and said respectfully.
"Do we have enough food and grass with us?"
Meng Huo asked.
"It's enough to return to the Barbarian King!"
Although Yizhou was short of food and grass, Liu Bei was not stingy with food and grass in order to let Meng Huo and others hold back Cao Wei.
"That's good!"
Meng Huo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"Brothers, as long as we defeat the Wei army and capture Yang Ling alive, there will be countless gold, silver, jewels, and Han women waiting for us!"
As soon as they heard about Qian Cai and Han women, the eyes of the barbarian soldiers suddenly glowed red, and they walked like tigers and tigers!
In the next few days, Meng Huo led his barbarian troops to detour through the mountains and forests.
When you are hungry, you eat dry food; when you are thirsty, you drink from mountain springs.
Soon we arrived near Jiange County.
