"Flying pigeon passes the book." Cheng Yu looked blank.
Liu Xin did not answer. Instead, he looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the generals had no arrows. Unfortunately, there is no tacit understanding between each other. Several pigeons were hit with two or three arrows. But there is another pigeon that flutters its wings. Gradually became a small black spot. Nowhere to go. Soldiers ran over to pick up the fallen pigeons. Liu Xin suddenly remembered something. Say loudly: "Quickly. Grab everyone in the yard. Remember. Be alive."
No special assignment is required. Soldiers are already rushing towards the courtyard. Some soldiers have already presented the white doves they picked up to Liu Xin. Liu Xin picked up one casually. Sure enough, a strip of cloth was tied to the thin leg of the white dove. Tear off the cloth strip and have a look. Five words were written crookedly on it. . Jia Mengguan has been lost.
Liu Xin replaced the cloth strips with Cheng Yu. He said lightly: "This is the Flying Pigeon Biography."
Cheng Yu looked down. The ink on that cloth strip is still wet. The words have to be very sloppy. Frowning and said: "It seems that this person wrote in a hurry. I must have just received the news."
Liu Xin was expressionless. But my heart is very excited. He understands the principles of Fei Ge. But there was no one who could help him to domesticate the pigeons. If he also has the ability to pass books to flying pigeons. There is no need to spend such a big Zhou Zhang. Let the treasurer Song inform the special forces soldiers lurking in Jiameng Pass in a roundabout way. At that time, only one or two homing pigeons will be released. Everything can be done.
Zhang Fei couldn't wait any longer. Looking at the pigeon in Liu Xin's hand. Can't wait for the saliva to flow down. Loudly yelled: "Big Brother. You asked everyone to have breakfast. Why are you still in a daze here? My stomach is groaning a long time ago."
Liu Xin recovered. Laughing: "Okay. Let's go to dinner first. We'll talk about other things later."
Breakfast is actually very simple. It is nothing more than soy milk, eggs and steamed buns. There is no need for a dedicated chef. The Fire Head Army began to prepare when they entered the city. Now Jia Meng closed the table and chairs. Just wait for their arrival.
Everyone is also welcome. As soon as I sat down, I started to gobble up. After all, I got up early today. It took another twenty miles. Everyone's stomach is a little hungry. Swallow a bun. Liu Xin looked up at this moment. Looked up at this Jiameng Pass. He knew it a long time ago. Here is the way first. Later related. Finally, the city was built according to the customs. On both sides of the city are high mountains. Each has a trail going around the city. The brigade did not pass through Guancheng. It's not passable at all.
Chen Gong saw that Liu Xin was looking at Guan Cheng silently. He smiled and said: "This level is backed by a city. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is not for the master, it is like a god. I don't know how much it will cost to win this level."
Liu Xin also smiled. Said: "For this Jia Meng Pass. It took half a year to prepare. Only today is the result. The next battle for each city will be a tough battle. Let everyone seize the time to rest. Five days later, the soldiers will be sent to Hanzhong. ."
Kuai Yue asked in a puzzled way: "The lord. The soldiers are very fast. Our army took the Jiameng Pass with a thunder and thunder. Zhengke made a big effort. Go straight to Hanzhong. Why wait five days."
Liu Xin shook his head and said, "The preciousness of the army is fast by the odd victory. But the enemy has a flying pigeon. Zhang Lu should already know that Jia Mengguan was taken by me. He must be prepared. The army has not moved. Go ahead. Jiameng Pass doesn’t have much food. People’s lives don’t seem to be very wealthy. They can’t meet the needs of the army. Although there are only more than 20 miles from Jianmen Pass to Jiameng Pass, the roads are dilapidated. Vehicles are too heavy to carry. Passable. It will take some time for the rear grain and equipment to be transported. The task these days is to seize the time to repair the road. Ensure the smooth flow between Jianmen and Jiameng."
Chen Gong said: "The lord's words are true. Jiamengguan is the main link between Hanzhong and Chengdu. The people here mainly rely on merchants traveling from the north to the south. The door has been closed for nearly two years. The lives of the people are naturally miserable. The subordinates have ordered someone to issue an Anmin notice. I believe that in another year and a half, the prosperity of the past will be restored here."
Talking. There are soldiers on the way to the city head. Kneel down on one knee. Said loudly: "Open to the lord. The person who released the pigeon has been caught. Please send the lord down."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "Bring here. I want to interrogate myself."
quickly. A five-flower-tied man was taken over. This person is around thirty. No need for submandibularity. The skin is white and clean. A look of horror on his face.
Liu Xin glanced at the man. Heyan asked cheerfully: "What is your name. Where is the person? You raise these pigeons."
The person who saw Liu Xin's face was not ferocious. The tone of speech is also relatively calm. I felt a little bolder. kneel on the ground. He whispered softly: "Back to the Lord. The villain's surname is Li Mingyang. He was originally a servant in the Luoyang Palace. He raised pigeons for the emperor for food. In his spare time, the villain often took pleasure in training pigeons. Later. Luoyang was in great chaos. The villain was on the streets. He didn't make a living. By chance, he met Li Ru, the assistant of the doctor. He heard that the villain could train pigeons to fly long distances. He took the villain in. He sent the villain here again."
Liu Xin groaned: "You can train pigeons for long-distance flight. It is indeed an amazing ability. Presumably the training of pigeons is not easy. But why do you want to release so many birds at once?"
Li Yang saw that Liu Xin was able to understand the difficulty of domesticating pigeons. Moved in my heart. He said with tears: "Master Hui. From Jiamengguan Pass to Chang'an. The journey is long. There are often birds of prey and hunters in the middle. It is not easy to fly back two or three out of ten. If only one or two can be released. Just in case halfway. Lost. Then there is no effect of conveying news. Use pigeons to convey work and rest. This is the first time the villain has done it. I don't know how the adults see through it."
Liu Xin did not answer his words. But he asked back: "What did you just say. This news is not sent to Hanzhong. It is sent to Chang'an."
Li Yang said blankly, "Yes. The villain was taken in by the doctor ordered by Mr. Li. He has nothing to do with Hanzhong. The villain has lived in Jiamengguan for more than a year. The money and materials needed to domesticate the pigeons are all provided by Mr. Li. of."
Liu Xin patted his thigh. Anxiously said: "Not good. I just made a mistake. Hurry up and gather the team. I want to talk."
He turned his head and said to Li Yang: "Li Yang. You have a good ability to train pigeons. You are willing to work for me."
Li Yang now only wants to survive. What is unwilling to agree to. Hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain is willing to work for adults. Go through all fire and water. You will die."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "Work for me. You don't need to take risks personally. Let's do it. I will arrange for someone to send you to Xiangyang. You will be a chief in the Ministry of War for the time being. Rank six. Specially tame pigeons for me. Well. Also. The pigeons you tamed in the future will be called homing pigeons. They are used exclusively for the communications of the three services."
Although Li Yang still doesn't know what the chief of the Ministry of War is. What is the meaning of the sixth rank. But it's not a bad thing to think about it. Even claimed to be thankful. But soldiers had come to untie him. Lead him down.
Liu Xin's five armies are all well-trained soldiers. The soldiers who entered Jiameng Pass one after another were mainly soldiers of the First Army. There are about 40,000 people. With Liu Xin's order. Except for the soldiers defending the four doors. The remaining 35,000 people have been assembled outside the east gate. Many soldiers in the team participated in the lurking outside the west gate last night. Stayed up all night. Many people received the order to gather as soon as they lay down. But no one complained.
The generals also hurriedly ate breakfast. Following Liu Xin came to the east city gate. Below the city is a dark crowd. No one in the team of more than 30,000 people actually spoke. Only the horses in the formation neighed occasionally.
Liu Xin looked at the tens of thousands of troops assembled under the city. Cleared his throat. Said loudly: "Soldiers. Dong Zhuo is cruel. Liu Xie kills brother to usurp the throne. My Han Dynasty is facing torn apart. The people are deeply suffering from the war. I am the soldiers of the Han. Kuang supports the Han family. Protects the people. It is our sacredness. Responsibilities. Zhang Lu steals control of Hanzhong. Uses five buckets of rice to teach people to confuse the people. It also blocks the way of my army's northern expedition to Dong Zhuo. Today Jiameng Pass has been overcome. Zhang Lushang does not know. It is possible to win by surprise. I will order. The army is divided into four directions. Straight. Take Nanzheng, Shangyong, Fangling and Yangping Pass. I hope that the soldiers will show the spirit of not being afraid of death. Two of them are not afraid. Go forward courageously. Promote the prestige of the Han army. First, those who break the city and overcome the pass. The official is promoted to the third level. Reward the golden hundred. Two."
A young general in the army. Black clothes and black armor. Hand dance with a spear. Loudly shouted: "Brothers. For the revival of the Han Dynasty. Kill. Kill. Kill."
The armed forces followed closely behind. They shouted in unison: "Kill. Kill. Kill." The voice surrounded Jiameng Pass. It's been a long time without dispersing.
Liu Xin looked around. I recognized that the young general was Sun Ce. A knowing smile appeared on his face. Turning back to the generals said: "Send the order to the second legion. Day and night. Go to meet. The engineering team stepped up to repair the road. The fifth legion then transported grain, grass and baggage. Make no mistake."
The people will hear this. One after another left. Xu Huang also brought Shi Huan and others. Flew down the city. Step on the war horse. Lead the army to go north.
There were cavalry in the first regiment. But the number is not large. There are about five thousand. Xu Huang knew Sun Ce's bravery. So he gave all the cavalry to him. He led straight to Yangping Pass. Yangping Pass is located at the northernmost tip of Hanzhong County. It is the gateway to the north of Yizhou. Out of Yangping Pass. Along the Shu Road to the northeast for more than a hundred miles away is Sanguan, one of the four passes. Just conquer all obstacles. Chang'an City is at your fingertips.
Hanzhong County has nine counties under its jurisdiction. The office is located in Nanzheng County. Zhang Lu didn't trust Yang Huai and Gao Pei who had surrendered. Just to buy people's hearts. Let them continue to guard Jiameng Pass. But half of the soldiers who had been under them were transferred. More than a year. Zhang Lu's pressure in Hanzhong is still relatively large. In the past, Liu Yan was his strong backing. Now it has become Liu Xin's site. After Dong Zhuo moved Liu Xie to Chang'an. The threat from the north has also suddenly increased.
According to the information Liu Xin has heard over the years. There are 60,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Lu. His defensive focus is not Liu Xin in the south. But Dong Zhuo from the north. There are as many as 30,000 heavy soldiers stationed at Yangping Pass. There are also more than 10,000 people stationed in Gukou, north of the Qinling Mountains. Nanzheng is Zhang Lu's administrative office. There are also tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed there. And the five thousand garrisons at Jiameng Pass are now Liu Xin's prisoners.
but. There is also a Dazhai at 15 miles east of Jiameng Pass. Five thousand guards led by Zhang Lu's confidant, Yang Ren. Han people are not used to getting up early. Yang Ren was still asleep. Vaguely heard shouts from Jia Mengguan direction. Could not help turning over. Put your ears up and listen carefully. But there is no sound anymore. Can't help but mumble. Head tilted. Fell asleep again.
Spring is sleepy and autumn is lack of summer and dozes. Sleepless winter in March. It was still early spring at this time. The morning retreat is the most comfortable. Yang Rengang fell down and snored again. And had a strange dream.
