The earliest recorded ancient Chinese domesticated flying animals such as pigeons, eagles and falcons to deliver letters were in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the principle was to use the sensitivity of such animals to the earth's magnetic field and their own strong homing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info among them, the domestication of the falcon is the most difficult and costly, but the ability of the trained falcon to transmit messages is also extremely powerful.

In the case of carrier pigeons, for example, the range of transmitting a message is from 2,000 km to 3,000 km. The flight radius and speed of the falcon are naturally far beyond that of the carrier pigeon. Moreover, unlike ordinary carrier pigeons, which can often only deliver messages in a single way, a well-trained falcon can use its own abnormally developed visual network to find the target that needs to be transmitted in the designated direction, so as to realize the function of two-way transmission.

Zhang Xiu naturally understands these simple scientific principles, and when he told these concepts to Dr. Jia Xujia, who has always managed the information and intelligence network, he was also recognized by this well-informed old poisoner.

It was Zhang Xiu's descendants under Zhang Xiu's command, the Flying Bear Army, who helped Zhang Xiu open a gap in this field.

As mentioned above, Dong Zhuo used the capable people of Xiliang to form a Flying Bear Army of 3,000 people. The talented people here do not refer to those who have some tricks, but actually refer to people with combat skills.

And what kind of ability can be called a "capable person" in Xiliang? The most common refers to those who are brave and powerful, and the name of the Flying Bear Army comes from this. However, not all of the 3,000 Flying Bear Army are these fierce men with the power of bears and tigers, and some people with special combat skills have also been incorporated into the Flying Bear Army. For example, some witch doctors who are good at using Gu poison, some hunters who are good at finding traces, etc., no matter what kind of specialty skills they have, what their identity is, as long as they are conducive to military battles, Dong Zhuo is all under his command.

Of the 800 flying bear army under Zhang Xiu, there are more than 600 bears and tigers, and among the other 100 people, several of them are specialized in domesticating birds of prey and animals. Two of them, in particular, are known for their domesticated falcons.

One of these two people was a hunter in the mountains before joining the Flying Bear Army, and using a falcon to find prey is much easier than simply using human eyes. The other is from the Qianghu tribe, and the falcon's role is not only to assist in hunting, but also to act as a high-altitude early warning aircraft to predict the danger of attacks by other tribes.

Of course, not all falcons have the possibility of successful domestication training, and capturing the right falcon first is a problem. After the domestication of the eagle, the success rate is only 23 out of 10, and it often takes a year and a half or even several years, so the non-human and material resources are quite huge. Zhang Xiu ordered people to start falconry two years ago, and spent thousands of gold before and after, and now the successful domestication can pass the silk book is only four eagle falcons, and only one can be rough about human nature.

In contrast, the domestication of carrier pigeons is much simpler. Although Zhang Xiu couldn't distinguish the types of pigeons, he had sufficient manpower and material resources to capture a considerable number of pigeons of various breeds, and finally succeeded in finding the correct type of carrier pigeons after sorting and eliminating them one by one. The breeding and growth conditions of the pigeon are much simpler than that of the falcon, and today hundreds of carrier pigeons have been successfully domesticated, which are assigned to various armies and in the hands of eyeliner sentries to transmit emergency information.

There are only four eagle falcons, and Zhang Xiu Group naturally cherishes them when they use them. In fact, the only people who have the right to use the falcon to transmit the news are Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, and these two people must carry an eagle falcon with them.

What kind of thing is it that allows Jia Xu to use the falcon to report for the first time, it is naturally an extremely important event. This incident is nothing else, it is the news about the Xu Du Incident and the departure of the Son of Heaven.

Xuchang Jia Xu, the political and military center of the Cao Group, has planted quite fine work and eyeliner, and the news about the Xu Du Incident and the eastward journey of the Son of Heaven was naturally transmitted to Shouchun with carrier pigeons at the first time. And the news of Xiahou Yuan's night attack on the Son of Heaven was also urgently sent back to Shouchun by Zhang Xiujun's sentry of Liang State on the second day. This is where the advantages and limitations of the carrier pigeon are revealed.

In the past, it would take days to kill a few horses, and in case of bad weather, the trip had to be doubled to get the news, but now it can be delivered in a day or two with only two or three pigeons. However, because the original domestication place was in Shouchun, all the carrier pigeons would only fly to Shouchun because of their homing, and could not deliver the news to Zhang Xiu as soon as possible.

This is the time for the falcon to appear. Because every few days Zhang Xiu would send carrier pigeons to Shouchun to report the march and the station, Jia Xu, who was in Shouchun, only needed to calculate the geographical and astronomical directions, and then pointed out the direction for the falcon to fly. The trained falcon will fly in a predetermined direction and automatically look for Zhang Xiu's location. And because the falcon is accustomed to flying at high altitudes and has a wide field of vision of at least more than ten miles, and has super vision that is effortless to find a rabbit at an altitude of hundreds of meters, it is natural to find the special markers that are permanently set up by Zhang Xiu on the ground, so as to complete the directional direct information!

Zhuyi is not far from Shouchun, but it takes about a day to arrive quickly, and it only takes an hour to use Eagle Falcon to communicate. This is a great information advantage for Zhang Xiu, only need to calculate the direct time of the carrier pigeon from Xiayi of Liang Guoxia to Shouchun at the place of the incident, and the flight time of the eagle falcon reported by Shouchun to Zhuyi, you can know how long it has been since the incident and Zhang Xiu's letter, and then you can judge the approximate location of the Son of Heaven at the moment.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiu led more than 2,000 light horses out of Zhuyi, it was only a day after Xiahou Yuan attacked the Son of Heaven's team.

The only place to hide near Xiayi is Dangshan, and Xiahou Yuan will never dare to leave his station, Fengxian, for a long time, so if he moves fast enough, then the chance of intercepting the Son of Heaven is still quite large.

No one knows better than Zhang Xiu how much it means to intercept the emperor, although he will not have any direct and substantial help to himself, but you must know that almost all the wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were conquered in the name of the Son of Heaven. To control the Son of Heaven is to control the public opinion of the world. It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao, who realized it later, is now going south to compete for the Son of Heaven, and Cao Cao did not hesitate to use all his troops and food in the battle of Guandu because of this.

Of course, there are many people who regard Emperor Xian as a fragrant glutton, and there are also many people who regard Emperor Xian as a hot potato, such as Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang, who now control the land of Xuzhou.

This is understandable, I, a foreign prince, can control the government and control the Son of Heaven as he wants, but if you are an imperial uncle who welcomes the Son of Heaven and does not want to be ruined and the enemy of the world, you can only give up the accumulated family business.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu believed that even if the Xuzhou army got the news of Emperor Xian's eastward journey, it would not send troops to meet him in a big way. However, if Emperor Xian is attacked, he will still send soldiers and horses to pretend to be. Therefore, the Xuzhou army was pinned down in Xiahou Yuan, and Zhang Xiu dared to lead more than 2,000 light horsemen around him to go deep into the hinterland of Yuzhou.

Recently, the war has been tight, and the counties and counties on the border that belong to the Cao clan and have no heavy troops stationed are all in fear, for fear that one day the Xuzhou army or Zhang Xiu's army will come over. The same is true of Xiangxian, after discovering the news that there is a force of thousands of cavalry rapidly approaching the city, the Xiangxian county commander immediately did not say a word, summoned all his officials Wei Cao, and opened the city gate Qi Shushu knelt at the door and waited for surrender. There are even some wealthy people of the big clan, who have always heard of Zhang Xiu's cold-blooded cruelty to the clan heroes, and immediately mobilized all the clansmen to kill chickens and sheep, take out the cellar wine, and prepare to give it to Zhang Xiujun.

As for resistance? The entire Jiangdong family was tied together and uprooted by Zhang Xiu, and the few people in his own family were not enough to open their teeth.

It's just that the Xiangxian officials who have the household registration book in their sleeves and the old man who is holding the land property deed are not clear, so the old large-scale Zhang Xiujun cavalry just passed by the gate of Xiangxian County, and then left without squinting and without looking at Xiangxian without looking at Xiangxian at all.

Zhang Xiujun's cavalry came and went so lightly, without taking away a single cloud, leaving the Xiangxian people who knelt down to worship in the dust.

Until Zhang Xiujun's cavalry disappeared into the sky, a respected clan elder in Xiangxian County asked the Xiangxian county magistrate beside him: "My lord, the pigs in the city have been cooked and the sheep have been slaughtered, how is this good?" ”

The county commander looked at the subordinate officials who were looking at each other behind him, and only spoke after a while: "Let's send it to Zhuyi while the wine and meat are still hot, anyway, it's not far, I heard that Zhang Xiu is not General Zhendong's army is there." I took the old man's son with me on the way, and said that Xiangxian had descended ......"

……

Zhang Xiu naturally didn't have time to attack Xiangxian, and he didn't have time to take over the city. From Zhuyi to Dangshan, even if you have walked a short and half way after Xiangxian, you have to rush to Dangxian County between dark.

……

In the evening of the next day, Zhang Xiu, who had no accident, had already led the army to Dangxian, but unfortunately, Liu Xie and the others had not yet seen the shadow, but Zhang Xiu ran into Xiahou Yuan and more than 1,000 elite horsemen under his command.

The two sides met on a narrow road, and their respective hurried marches but touched a front, and when they wanted to change the route, they couldn't stop the horse's speed.

It was a wide terrain that was ideal for cavalry combat, but neither of the exhausted sides had the desire to fight. Although the number of cavalry on Zhang Xiu's side is twice that of Xiahou Yuan's, Zhang Xiu's army, which is dominated by light cavalry and archers, cannot fight head-on with Xiahou Yuan's elite cavalry.

Moreover, the main task and purpose of both sides is to find the Son of Heaven and others, and unless necessary, it is better to preserve their strength.

Since it has been scolded, both sides naturally can't get out of it easily, everyone is afraid that the opposite side will follow behind their butts for a thousand years, and the most taboo thing for the cavalry is to be chased and beaten by the cavalry, and the other party will never give you the opportunity to turn around and arrange the formation.
