When Lu Yun heard what Cao Jie said, he looked at Cao Cao and shouted obediently: "Yun'er has met my grandfather!"
Cao Cao looked at Lu Yun blankly.
After a while, he came back to his senses, squatted down, stretched out his hand tremblingly and said, "Yun'er? This is -"
Cao Jie wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "This is the child of my daughter and her husband. She is the ninth eldest child in the family. My husband said he wanted to come to see you this time. He was afraid that you would not go back with us, so he asked Yun'er to come with him."
"If father really can't go back with us, then at least we can meet him once."
Cao Cao nodded, stretched out his hand, and pinched Lu Yun's face.
Lu Yun said: "Grandpa, come home with us!"
Cao Cao picked up Lu Yun and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lu Yi clapped his hands and said, "Bring it up!"
Ling Tong and Zhou Fang came up carrying wooden boxes.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Yi doubtfully.
Lu Yi signaled Ling Tong to open the wooden box.
Ling Tong opened the wooden box.
Inside were several cloth parcels.
There are words written on the cloth packages.
Lu Yi took out a package with "telescope" written on it and said to Cao Cao: "Father-in-law, I brought two treasures this time and wanted you to take a look. Of course, the most important purpose is to let my father-in-law understand that if you continue like this There is no point in continuing to fight.”
Cao Cao frowned.
Lu Yi laughed, opened the package in his hand, and revealed a monocular telescope.
Lu Yi held a monocular telescope and looked at the Jiangeguan wall behind Cao Cao. Then he handed it to Cao Cao and said, "This treasure is called a telescope. It is used by the commander-in-chief during the march."
"Even if we are several miles apart, we can clearly see the situation of the enemy on the opposite side."
"Father-in-law, if you use it like I do, you will know the beauty of it."
Clapping his hands at Lu Yun in Cao Cao's arms, Lu Yi hugged Lu Yun over.
Cao Cao took the telescope, put it on his right eye just like Lu Yi had done, and then looked far behind Lu Yi.
The next moment, Cao Cao exclaimed, hurriedly removed the telescope, and stumbled back two steps.
He actually saw a huge human head in the distance!
Seeing that Cao Cao was so panicked, Cao Jie hurriedly reached out to help him.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhen had already supported Cao Cao.
Cao Pi asked with concern: "Father?"
Cao Cao is still a little uneasy!
Lu Yi nuzzled at Cao Pi's telescope.
Cao Pi then took the telescope from Cao Cao, put it on his right eye, and looked far behind Lu Yi.
His breathing also became a little faster, and he said in a trembling voice: "Human head? Why is there such a big human head in front of me?"
Cao Pi moved the telescope tremblingly from his right eye, and was shocked to find out.
The head in front of me is gone!
Lu Yi explained: "That head is the face of the heavy cavalry in my camp in the distance. With the help of the telescope in your hand, he seems to be in front of you. However, this is actually an illusion."
"That's the beauty of this telescope."
"With this telescope, the commander-in-chief can see the enemy troops in the distance even if they are several miles apart."
"Naturally, you can see any ambushes and formation maneuvers, so you can make targeted defenses and adjustments in advance."
"In this regard, he is several times stronger than the scout."
"The scouts sent out can easily lose their lives once they arrive."
"Secondly, because the scouts have to be far away, it is impossible to get close to the enemy. Naturally, they cannot spy on the enemy's overall situation, let alone see clearly the enemy's internal situation."
"Third, the scouts must tell the commander what they see. What the scouts observe and describe may not be accurate, and the commander will naturally be unable to accurately make defenses and make corresponding adjustments."
Cao Cao suddenly took the telescope from Cao Pi's hand, looked at the heavy cavalry trapped in the camp in the distance, and then moved his eyes to Lu Yi, who was close at hand.
After a while, Cao Cao put down the telescope and asked Lu Yi with a very complicated expression: "Who made such a magical weapon?"
Cao Jie took Lu Yun from Lu Yi's arms and said with a smile: "My husband proposed it, and then Sister Yueying and my daughter made it together."
Cao Cao looked at Cao Jie with some surprise and said, "You?"
Cao Jie looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, it's my daughter."
"My husband is a unique man."
"He also founded a university in Wu County."
"In Wujun University, there are many alchemists and craftsmen, and they can all use their talents."
"Even women, like my daughter, sister Yueying, and sister Bu Lianshi, can show their faces and do what they like."
"My daughter didn't just make this telescope."
"My daughter is still studying the steam engine proposed by her husband recently with Sister Yueying!"
"Although it's a little hard to understand, it's very interesting."
"According to my husband, as soon as the steam engine is built, we can use boiled water to drive warships to travel quickly."
"No one is needed to paddle it!"
"Moreover, the warship can be made larger, several times, or even ten times larger!"
"We can use warships to travel across the ocean and explore more lands and countries."
Cao Cao: "."
Cao Pi on the side questioned: "How is it possible! How can boiling water drive warships instead of people rowing? I have also read many ancient books, but no book has ever mentioned it!"
Cao Jie smiled and said, "This is what makes my husband different."
"Let's just talk about the telescope. Brother, have you read it in ancient books?"
Cao Pi: "."
Seeing that Cao Cao had been restrained, Lu Yi smiled again and took a cloth package from the wooden box, opened it, and revealed a huge firecracker.
There is a long lead from one end of the firecracker, which is wrapped around the firecracker.
Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Dun and others all looked over.
Lu Yi smiled and said to them: "This is called firecrackers."
"It was filled with gunpowder and sealed at both ends with stones."
"In our country of Wu, we have made smaller ones, only the size of a little finger. If there are three dynasties this year, we will put them into the hands of the people and let them use them instead of firecrackers to celebrate the three dynasties."
"And this one, so big, can't replace firecrackers."
"The lethality is also amazing."
"But it's not enough."
"I asked Zuo Ci and the others to make grenades, put iron nails, iron beads, etc. into the gunpowder, and then shorten the ignition time."
Seeing that Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Dun and others all looked confused.
Lu Yi smiled and said to Ling Tong and Zhou Fang: "Bring two horses."
Ling Tong and Zhou Fang galloped back on their horses.
After a while, two war horses were brought.
Lu Yi asked Ling Tong and Zhou Fang to bring the war horse nearly ten feet away from the crowd, and then let go of the reins.
After that, Ling Tong was asked to place the big firecracker in his hand between the two horses.
Asking Cao Jie to cover Lu Yun's ears, Lu Yi looked at Cao Cao and said, "Father-in-law, be prepared. There will be a loud noise later, which will be deafening."
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Yi suspiciously and said nothing.
Lu Yi then shouted to Ling Tong, who was still standing next to the two war horses in the distance: "It's done."
Ling Tong took out a fire stick, blew on the fire, lit the fuse of the big firecracker, and then rushed towards Lu Yi and others.
Lu Yi walked up to Cao Jie's ears and covered her ears.
Cao Jie smiled at Lu Yi.
Everyone looked at the two war horses.
Nearly ten breaths passed.
A loud "bang" sound suddenly sounded.
The two war horses instantly flew towards both sides like arrows from their strings.
However, a war horse fell directly to the ground and neighed in pain.
Its left hind leg was completely gone!
The other horse didn't gallop very far and fell heavily to the ground.
Its abdomen was directly covered in blood and flesh.
You can even see blood mixed with internal organs flowing out.
Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Dun had their eyes narrowed and their faces were pale.
Ling Tong kept smacking his tongue.
This power is much greater than that little firecracker!
Zhou Fang grinned.
interesting!
If you can bring hundreds of them, place them in the enemy camp, and light them on fire at once——
On the wall of Jiange Pass, the defenders looked at this scene with dull eyes.
The Kingdom of Wu actually has such a powerful artifact?
Lu Yi then released his covering of Cao Jie's ears, looked at Cao Cao with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, this is only a very preliminary effect of gunpowder. This gunpowder has really been fully developed -"
Lu Yi pointed at the city wall of Jiangeguan and said: "If you can blow the city gate open at once, there is no need for a so-called city-attack vehicle."
"Of course, you may not know what gunpowder is."
"If you are interested, I can take you back to Wujun University to have a look."
Lu Yi looked at Cao Cao's completely dumbfounded look, and took a long breath and said: "Father-in-law, fighting now is no longer just a sword and a gun. In our country of Wu, we will use a large number of such weapons in future wars."
"Aren't the previous three-bow bed crossbows and Zhuge Liannu powerful enough?"
"One of your tiger and leopard cavalry was completely wiped out under their attack."
"But those will soon be no longer needed."
"In the future, weapons similar to large firecrackers will be used in large quantities in our Wu army."
"Even if the cavalry has the characteristics of high-speed movement, it cannot withstand the destruction of such weapons."
"Father-in-law, please think about it carefully!"
"I remember your original dream, father-in-law, was to support the Han Dynasty and benefit the people."
"Over the years, the imperial court has lost its integrity and all the heroes have been vying for the throne. You are disappointed, so I can understand why you behave like this."
"Now, our Wu Kingdom has appeared."
"I also ask my father-in-law to re-examine your original dream. Let's work hard for the people of the world together."
Only then did Cao Cao come back to his senses and looked at Lu Yi, with a mixture of shock and complexity in his eyes.
Lu Yi said: "Father-in-law, like you, I also want to benefit the people of the world."
"And I'm more than that."
"I will drive out the Tartars and plant our flag throughout the world!"
"I want to make this world, everywhere we look, belong to our land and our people."
Stretching out his hand towards Cao Cao, Lu Yi said seriously: "Father-in-law, come back with me!"
"I don't want us to keep fighting."
"We continue to fight, and the casualties are also our own soldiers, and they are the lives of our people."
"Why don't we join forces so that our soldiers can truly fight for our people?"
"Could it be that the enemies outside our territory are not worthy of our action?"
"Xianbei, Qiang and other foreign enemies are still there."
"As long as they are not destroyed, our people will continue to be invaded by them."
"Father-in-law, come back with me. Let's sit down together and fight for the people of the world!"
