Chapter 108: Immortal Merit! (3rd Update)

"If you don't stop, you can come in one day."

Although he didn't understand why Wu Liang had this question, Xiahoudun still groaned slightly, and said with a straight face.

This is a relatively accurate answer, after all, he has just arrived in Juancheng from Puyang, and how much effort needs to be consumed on the road is still relatively clear in his heart.

Of course, a day at this time does not refer to 24 hours, but to a whole day, almost 12 hours.

“Emmm……”

Wu Liang estimated.

An average horse in the prime of life can reach speeds of about 15 km/h, or 30 mph, for such a long run.

In 12 hours, that's about 360 miles.

Of course, this is the speed at which the horse runs without a camel, and it is good if the camel can reach a speed of more than 20 miles per hour when the camel runs long distances.

And horses are animals, not machines, and this speed will gradually decrease as their physical strength decreases during the run.

In this way, the distance between Puyang and Juancheng should be about 200 miles.

In addition, running on land also has to take into account the detours caused by various terrain factors, and it is inevitable to run some more unjust distances......

Therefore, the straight-line distance between Puyang and Juancheng is definitely within 200 miles, which is more than 100 miles for his carrier pigeons.

As far as he knows, the average speed of a pigeon is 70-110 km/h, which translates to 140-220 mph.

In the case of well-trained pigeons, they can reach 90-150 km/h.

That is, from Puyang to Juancheng.

The news that people need to run desperately for a day on horseback can be delivered in about 1 hour, even for the average adult pigeon......

"What exactly are you trying to say by asking this?"

Seeing Wu Liang's thoughtful look, Xiahoudun waited for a while, and finally asked a little impatiently.

Wu Liang already had the answer in his heart, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled and said: "Xiahou Taishou needs a whole day to deliver the information for help, but my flying slave can only be delivered in half an hour, just imagine, assuming that Puyang is besieged by Lu Bu, Xun Yusima can get the news after only half an hour, except for the effort of gathering soldiers and horses, an hour later, the troops have been dispatched to the rescue, I don't know what Xiahou Taishou thinks?" ”

"Seriously!?"

As soon as he heard this, the impatience on Xiahoudun's face disappeared in an instant, and he stood up with a "ho", and a pair of eyes were almost about to pop out.

Meanwhile.

Xun Yu and the other three also looked at Wu Liang with a look of surprise.

If what Wu Liang said is indeed true, then his "flying slave" is the most terrifying weapon in the world today, and he dare not say more......

At the very least, it can be worth 100,000 soldiers!

What is the most important thing in fighting a war, apart from strategy and tactics...... The most difficult and important thing to control is the fighter!

This is also one of the main reasons why all the powerful people of this era concentrated their troops and horses in key cities, and rarely forcibly divided troops to control the territory borders.

Because once an enemy launches a surprise attack without declaring war, the border defenders are basically given for nothing.

By the time the news of the attack on the defenders reached the main general, the daylily was already cold, and then when the main general gathered troops and horses to go to the rescue, he often only walked halfway to receive the battle report of the loss of the front line, and then beat his chest and turned back.

This kind of grievance is really common in this era.

Even a rookie like Cao Yu, who has basically never been on the battlefield, is familiar with similar incidents.

But who has what?

It is impossible to fly directly over to deliver the news, so we can only make the most reasonable allocation of troops and horses as far in advance as possible to avoid the occurrence of similar situations.

But it's just to avoid it as much as possible, and no one can do anything about it.

Just like Boss Cao, who is now fighting in Xuzhou, it is very likely that he only knew that Zhang Miao had rebelled until now, but he still didn't know anything about the news that Chen Gong also responded with him, let alone whether he should lead the army to rescue him.

All they could do was to call a group of military strategists together, and everyone would deduce the current situation in Yanzhou based on the information that had arrived many days late, and then make a judgment that they thought was correct.

But Wu Liang's flying slave perfectly solved this problem that had plagued all walks of life for a long time.

"If Xiahou Taishou doesn't believe it, you can go out with me to verify it."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Xiahoudun immediately stepped forward.

"But...... Xiahou Taishou, our council ......"

Xun Yu said subconsciously.

Just now, the few of them exchanged what they knew, and after some deduction, the plan of how to resist the enemy had just been discussed at the most important time.

If it weren't for Wu Liang's arrival just now, it should have been able to be determined by now.

After all, Xun Yu already had a set of strategies in his heart that he thought would be effective, and he suddenly didn't let him say it at this moment, he really had a feeling like a fish in his throat, and he was unhappy if he didn't vomit.

And what made him even more uncomfortable was.

If what Wu Liang said was true, then as a person who witnessed Wu Liang hanging his children and playthings every day, he was about to cry with envy......

Heaven is unfair!

I studied the art of war every day, deduced the pattern of the world all the time, worked so hard and made progress, and I struggled for most of my life to get to where I am today, and I didn't play any tricks.

Look at this ...... "unsuccessful" guy, playing pigeons can play such a miracle!

Why is the way of heaven so unfair!!

"If there is really this flying slave to help, the strategy of this battle will be carried out around this flying slave, and at least half of the ones we just discussed must be overturned and re-discussed, and this council can be stopped for the time being!"

Xiahoudun's thinking was also very clear, and he waved his hand and said.

But after saying this, he looked back at Wu Liang again, stared at his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Wu Sima, if you are really useful, when the envoy returns, I will not have this face, and I will personally ask the envoy for your credit, this is an immortal merit!" ”

"But!"

"If you are here to entertain me, then don't blame me for treating you for the crime of ignoring military discipline and disturbing the military situation, no matter how much credit you have made before, I can also behead you and report later!"

In the face of Xiahou Dian's warning, Wu Liang was neither humble nor arrogant, and arched his hand: "Then thank Xiahou Taishou for speaking for me in front of the envoy." ”

So the group left Xun Yu's mansion and went straight to Wu Liang's house.

On the way, Cao Yu came to Wu Liang's side, and still asked in a worried whisper: "Talented and virtuous brother, what are you doing this time?" Let me tell you, my uncle Yuan Rang has a bad temper, he said that if he beheads you, he will really kill you, don't say it's me when the time comes, even if Mrs. Ding comes, she won't be able to save you. ”

"Brother Anmin, didn't we meet on the first day, right?"

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Naturally not, but ......"

Cao Yu wanted to say something.

Wu Liang had already picked up the conversation and said with a grin: "Brother An Min thinks I look like someone who dares to joke with his life?" ”

"Naturally, you're not so afraid of death...... In this way, you have made up your mind for this great feat! ”

Cao Yu pondered for a while, and finally completely relieved, and then put his arm around his shoulders and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Talented and virtuous brother, our brothers have always been indistinguishable from you and me, if you are reused by my uncle this time, you must say a few kind words for me, and let him arrange for me to be on the front line to lead the troops to fight an official position, and I will point to you!" ”
