Chapter 50: Reinforcements
After separating from Zi Yanran, Meng Tian found an inn for pedestrians to rest, bought an ordinary horse from the innkeeper with the gold and silver on his body, asked the nearest Qin army camp, drank a bowl of hot porridge and rode a horse and started to hurry.
While hurrying on the road, Meng Tian wondered why the Wei Assassin organization had traveled thousands of miles to Yiqu to assassinate the officials sent by the Qin State in Yiqu? The location of the Yiqu in the Qin State was biased to the northwest, the area was not large and the population was not large, if it was just to provoke the relationship between the Yiqu and the Qin State, it would be a bit of a big effort, and the Yiqu was just a piece of land for the Qin State. Yiqu is close to the Yellow River, in the strategic position of Qin, whether it is the king of Qin or Wang Qian, they all think that Yiqu will be a good place for Qin to cultivate war horses in the future, it not only has fertile water and grass, the key is that many local Yiqu people will train horses, so if Qin wants to annex the world in the future, the supply of excellent war horses is indispensable.
After a night of non-stop travel, at dawn, Meng Tian finally saw a Qin army camp, so he hurried over. The Qin army stationed here was a patrol on the grassland, responsible for finding horse thieves and robbers wandering on the grassland, and if they caught the traces of horse thieves or robbers, they followed closely and reported to the Qin army behind to encircle and suppress.
This Qin army had just woken up and was ready to live and cook. The Qin soldiers, who were in charge of standing guard, noticed that someone was riding towards their camp in the distance, and hurriedly sent a signal to inform their teammates that there was a situation. This small unit, the Qin army, under the leadership of the commander, bent its bow and arrows, ready to meet the incoming people.
Meng Tian rode on a horse, saw the Qin army camp in front of him from a distance, saw that he suddenly became tense, hurriedly reined in the horse, slowed down the pace of the horses under the seat, and slowly walked to the gate of the camp. Because he was transported out in a pocket, Meng Tian did not carry a weapon, not even a helmet on his head, only a general armor of the Qin army on his body. Meng Tian rode to the door on horseback and asked the soldiers who were aiming at him with their weapons, "I am Meng Tian, the commander of the Great Qin Mengjia Army, which of you is the commander?"
A soldier with a sword stepped forward and replied, "I am the captain of this patrol. ”
Meng Tian took a look at the captain, took out his seal from his armor and threw it at the commander, who saw the man on horseback who claimed to be a general throwing a golden thing at him, hurriedly caught it, took it in his hand, and hurriedly knelt down. The soldiers next to him didn't know what to do, since their commanders had all knelt down, they should also kneel, so everyone knelt on the ground.
Wu Chang held Meng Tian's seal letter in both hands, lowered his head and said loudly: "The Yuzi Patrol Team of the Daqin Border Guard Patrol Battalion has visited General Meng. ”
Meng Tian dismounted, retrieved his seal from the hand of the commander, and then walked in front of them, and walked straight to the camp where the Qin army was resting, "Get up, this general wants to write a report to the king again, by the way, what is the method you use here to communicate with the border guards?"
Wu Chang stood up, followed behind Meng Tian, and saw Meng Tian asking him, and hurriedly said: "Back to General, due to the needs of military affairs, the border guards are convenient for transmitting information on the grassland, so the border guards specially domesticated some birds, tied the legs or backs of these birds to the military information that needs to be transmitted, and then released them, and they will fly to the border guard camp by themselves." ”
Meng Tian found a place to sit down and rest, and nodded, "Very good, do you still have this bird in your hand, bring it to me and use one." ”
The commander said yes, and then shouted loudly outside, calling the soldier who was responsible for transmitting the military information. The soldier in charge of delivering military information approached, holding a cage with a brown feathered bird in his hand.
Meng Tian glanced at it and asked, "What kind of bird is this, why have I never seen it?"
The soldier who came in with the birdcage replied: "General Hui, this bird is a unique homecoming bird on the grassland, because this bird is larger, a little larger than the pigeons used in our country, so it is much faster than the pigeon, and this bird has a characteristic, it is very home-recognizant, no matter how far away it is from home, it can fly back." Moreover, this bird is not afraid of large carnivorous birds such as eagles and cranes on the grassland, so our border guards use this bird to transmit military information. ”
"Coming home bird, yes, this bird is good, and the name is good. Okay, I'll write you a letter for me
