Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 243: Accept Liu Ye and look to Ma Jun

"Sure enough, this is Liu Ye's true five-dimensional attribute. His intelligence is as high as 98, which is slightly higher than Xun Yu." Wang Yu exclaimed.

Wang Yu would naturally not let go of such a talent, so he took the opportunity to talk to him on this topic. Wang Yu could hear from Liu Ye's tone that he was deeply disappointed with the Han Dynasty.

This made the corners of his mouth rise slightly.

"Sure enough, the taste is the same."

Therefore, Wang Yu immediately launched the Holy Word. With his clear and sincere words and the recruitment of Liu Ye for the position of military officer, he instantly gained Liu Ye's loyalty.

"Liu Ye greets the lord!" After Liu Ye made up his mind, he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for gaining the loyalty of Liu Ye, a local talent from the late Han Dynasty. Because Liu Ye's three attributes are over 90, and the highest one, intelligence, is over 95, the host is rewarded with a bronze summoning card and two equipment cards. The host can choose two equipment cards by himself.]

After Wang Yu pondered for a moment, he said directly to the system: "I want a magic weapon card and a mount card."

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining a magic weapon card, a mount card, and a bronze summon card;
The current host has a total of: 1655 summoning points, one random summoning card, two silver summoning cards, one silver intelligence summoning card, one silver political summoning card, one silver charm summoning card, one silver commander summoning card, three gold summoning cards, four free attribute points, one legion summoning card, one top-notch summoning card, one low-level gold charm attribute point, one gold charm summoning card, one skill enhancement card, two magic weapon cards, one mount card, and one bronze summoning card;]

Wang Yu, who received a generous reward, was overjoyed. He quickly helped Liu Ye up and said with a smile: "Now that Tianyi has Zi Yang, why should we be afraid of the millions of Yellow Turbans outside Hulao Pass!"

It is necessary to say the polite words, even though Wang Yu himself knows that these words are a bit exaggerated. But it is precisely because of this that he can show his appreciation for Liu Ye.

What's more, what he said was not wrong. For the Han army today, the only one who could contend against the combined forces of the Mohists and Gongshuists and turn the disadvantage for the Han army was the engineer Liu Ye!

"My lord, thank you for your compliment. Zi Yang is unworthy of such high praise." Liu Ye said modestly, but his face was full of confidence. After all, this was how much Wang Yu valued him.

Wang Yue on the side had an even more complicated expression when he saw this, because he brought Wang Yu here mainly to ask Liu Ye to help make the catapult, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Yu actually recruited Liu Ye directly under his command.

"This boy is really extraordinary. It is so easy for him to recruit a proud and arrogant young talent like Liu Ye. If Your Majesty can really recruit him for your own use, it will definitely be a blessing for our Han Dynasty in the future." Wang Yue said in his heart.

It’s a pity that Wang Yue didn’t know that the Wang Yu in front of him was not only not a blessing to the Han Dynasty, but was instead a calamity that would destroy the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Yu was extremely happy. After all, he was poaching Ritian's talents and basically severed his relationship with the workers.

At least for now.

…………

After conquering Liu Ye, Wang Yu naturally wanted to conquer Ma Jun as well.

Ma Jun, courtesy name Deheng, was a famous inventor of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was from Fufeng, Sili, and was also one of the most renowned mechanical inventors in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology.

Although Ma Jun was born in Fufeng Ma family, his family was relatively poor, and he himself had a stutter. Therefore, this made Ma Jun not good at talking, but it also opened another door to his talent. Ma Jun liked to think and was good at thinking. At the same time, he paid attention to practice and was diligent in doing things. He especially liked to study mechanical problems.

The new silk loom improved by Ma Jun was not only more refined, simpler and more practical, but also had a production efficiency four to five times higher than the original one. The jacquard silk brocade woven from it had unique patterns and varied shapes, and was welcomed by the majority of silk weaving workers.

The keel waterwheel invented by Ma Jun could divert water from the river to the slope. It was extremely light to use and even a child could turn it. It could not only lift water but also drain water during rainy days. It was one of the most advanced production tools in the world at that time.

In addition to civilian equipment, Ma Jun also made many inventions in the manufacture of military weapons.

When Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, was leading the Northern Expedition, he invented the repeating crossbow, which could fire dozens of arrows at a time and was very powerful.

At that time, when the elderly Ma Jun saw the repeating crossbows captured by the Wei army on the battlefield, he thought that this weapon was very ingenious, but it still had some shortcomings.

Therefore, Ma Jun made some improvements to the repeating crossbow, and the effect was indeed very good. The power was almost doubled, and it performed brilliantly in the war against the northern barbarians.

Not only that, Ma Yue also redesigned a new siege weapon - the rotary catapult - based on Liu Ye's improved Thunderbolt Chariot.

Although the Thunderbolt Chariot improved by Liu Ye was far superior to the ordinary catapult, it was still subject to the shackles of the ordinary catapult. It was like a large balance with a bucket filled with large and small stones hanging on one end, and many ropes hanging on the other end.

During combat, the soldiers pulled one end of the rope with all their strength, and the other end with the stone would quickly rise up, so that the stone would be thrown out to hit the enemy. Each launch took some time.

The new type of rotating catapult designed by Ma Jun overcame these shortcomings. It used a wooden wheel to hang stones on the wooden wheel. In this way, by installing a mechanism to drive the wheel to rotate rapidly, large stones could be launched continuously, leaving the enemy no time to defend.

Ma Jun made many inventions and creations in handicrafts, agriculture, military and other fields, but he was always frustrated from his youth to old age.

Although many of Ma Jun's inventions and creations did not receive attention from the Cao Wei court, they were welcomed by the broad masses of working people. His achievements and reputation have been praised by the working people for thousands of years.

However, although Wang Yu’s idea was good, it was not so easy to implement it. After all, Ma Jun was the great-great-grandson of the great craftsman Ma Yan and the grandson of the famous scholar Ma Rong.

However, Wang Yu also knew that if he really wanted to subdue Ma Jun, he might be able to do it if he was willing to put in some effort.

After all, when it comes to Ma Jun's lineage, the blood relationship is basically weak.

In addition, there is Wang Yu’s current identity.

He was born into the Wang family of Taiyuan. Although it could not be compared with the Yuan family of Runan, it was definitely one of the top families in Guanxi. His second grandfather was even the supreme elder of Confucianism.

Moreover, before Wang Yu traveled through time, he had made some progress in improving his engineering skills. With the help of these factors, he might be able to subdue Ma Jun.
