"You said there's a strange object in Wolong Village in Deng County that can swallow and spit out river water?"

On a boat, a strong man in a brocade robe was Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, the leader of the Jinfan bandits.

Four years ago, in the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Liu Zhang took over Yizhou after Liu Yan died of illness.

Gan Ning was originally the prefect of Shu. Under the instigation of Liu He, he, together with Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others, rebelled against Liu Zhang.

As a result, he was defeated by Zhao Wei.

He took 800 people with him and planned to join Liu Biao.

As a result, when I arrived in Jingzhou, I found that although Liu Biao was known as one of the Eight Horses.

However, without military training, he would ultimately achieve nothing in the current situation of unrest and conflict among warlords.

So he changed his mind and wanted to join Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

But at that time he went to Jingzhou to see Liu Biao and fell out with Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia. Now Huang Zu was guarding Jiangxia, making it impossible for him to go to Jiangdong.

Gan Ning and his men were used to a luxurious life, so they simply went back to their old ways and became pirates in Jingzhou.

I recently heard that Wu Jing was coming to Jingzhou, so I planned to prepare some generous gifts and visit him.

Wu Jing was Sun Jian's brother-in-law, and therefore the uncle of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

If he could mediate, it would be much easier for me to go to Jiangdong.

"It's absolutely true. I didn't believe it at first, but I asked the thugs in Shandu County. They were paid to cause trouble in Wolong Village. One or two hundred people saw it."

"That strange object rumbled, sucking in the river water at an incredibly fast speed, and then on the other side it slammed the river water onto the rice fields. Its function was similar to a rolling car, but the speed and joy were incomparable."

"There really is such a rare thing!" Gan Ning suddenly became interested.

He has a lot of money on hand now, but Wu Jing is afraid that he will not look down on ordinary gold and silver.

Only with such rare treasures can we serve as a stepping stone to gain entry.

He turned around and looked at the map hanging behind him: "Deng County is right next to the Yu River, so it's easy to get there."

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Send a few smart ones to Wolong Village to investigate the situation. Remember not to reveal your whereabouts."

"Don't worry, Chief. We already have a few people from Deng County. Just let them go."

Zhuge Tian and Zhuge Liang didn't know that as soon as one crisis came, another crisis would arise.

They were actually targeted by Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.

The two were discussing equipment.

At the beginning, Zhuge Tian also fell into a misunderstanding.

That is to purchase weapons directly from the platform and bring them to the Three Kingdoms for people here to use.

That day I saw Liao Hua and his men forging and repairing farm tools. After asking, I found out that there were several other blacksmiths from their village.

Zhuge Tian immediately understood.

The weapons in the end times are better than those in the Three Kingdoms period. That’s because although there is not much industry in the end times, there are still a lot of high-quality steel left after hundreds of years of the industrial revolution.

So if it is scrap steel, it is not expensive in the end times, which is his shopping platform.

He didn't need to buy weapons directly, but only needed to buy better quality steel and reprocess it.

Buy a one-meter-long rebar and you can forge five fine steel gun heads.

When equipped with a gun barrel, it becomes one of the best weapons for soldiers of this era.

Zhuge Tian planned to wait until he made enough money to buy an angle grinder, and then use it to make his own weapons, which would be faster.

As for armor, there are also a lot of waste materials that can be used to make it in modern times.

Although it is not as good as iron mail or chain mail.

But it is much better than the cloth armor these people wore in the past.

"Brother, once these equipments are built, our 400-plus men will be able to withstand troops!"

Zhuge Liang said with some excitement.

This does not include Zhuge Tian’s heavy trucks and other trump cards.

"Yeah!" Zhuge Tian nodded. In the end times, such large-scale infantry phalanxes were almost impossible to see.

In a world where everyone is constantly deceiving each other and has to be on guard against everyone, having a group of dozens of people is already quite remarkable.

Now they will have food, people and weapons, and there is no war in Jingzhou.

It can be considered that we have some foothold in these three countries for the time being.

"Yuan Jian, you should speed up the process of forging weapons."

"I understand!" Liao Hua patted his sword. This sword was made of the fine steel given by Zhuge Tian. The quality was beyond his imagination.

All the grain has been planted, and everyone is now building new houses. Zhuge Liang also arranged to build arrow towers in several locations.

Zhuge Tian thought about it and went back to the store and took out a few binoculars.

"Brother, what good thing is this?"

Zhuge Liang has learned his lesson. Now, anything he has never seen before must be a good thing.

Upon hearing that it was a good thing, Liao Hua handed the blacksmith's hammer to one of his men and came over.

"Telescope!" Zhuge Tian took two telescopes from his hand and handed them to the two men.

"Telescope? How do you use it?" Liao Hua asked in confusion, feeling that the thing was quite heavy in his hand.

"Like this..." Zhuge Tian put the telescope in front of his eyes and demonstrated.

Then Zhuge Liang and Liao Hua followed suit and held the telescope in front of their eyes.

"Hiss..." Zhuge Liang took a breath.

A hundred meters away, a retainer of the Zhuge family was building a house, and Zhuge Liang clearly saw that the retainer accidentally hit his finger and put his hand in front of his mouth to blow it.

Liao Hua on the other side was even more exaggerated and just sat down on the ground.

If Zhuge Tian hadn't asked him to hang the telescope's lanyard around his neck at the beginning, he would probably have thrown the telescope away.

"Kong...Kong Ming, just now I...saw you suddenly dozens of meters away from me!"

He looked at the telescope in his hand with some horror. The feeling of being dozens of meters away in an instant was really too ridiculous.

"You're holding it upside down!" Zhuge Tian said, "Put the small circle over here in front of you."

Liao Hua followed Zhuge Tian's instructions and used it again, and this time his jaw almost dropped.

Because he was still looking at Kong Ming, it was as if Kong Ming's face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Why do you keep looking at him? Look somewhere farther away..." Zhuge Tian was speechless. If someone didn't know, they would think that you two were gay.

Liao Hua looked into the distance and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, this thing can see so far!"

These were all from Zhuge Tiandian in the past, but they were not cheap.

Now that the arrow tower has been repaired, he took it out and let the sentry on the arrow tower use it.

With the help of walkie-talkies, you can spot someone from miles away and make preparations early.

The situation like last time where they only found out after Young Master Zhong and his men had blocked their way won't happen again.

"This... is for me?" Liao Hua took the telescope down reluctantly and put it in front of his eyes again.

"This is for the sentries in the arrow tower."

"It's okay. Starting today, I will go up for patrol every day!" Liao Hua grabbed the telescope and refused to let go.
