Chapter 174: Set a wedding date

"Old gentleman, please get up quickly, how dare I bear your great gift if you offer me such a treasure?" Yuan Yao hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Wanzhong up, and then said: "Old man, General Mao has already told me about the method of flying slave messengers, and the old gentleman has created a generation of feats, and he is really a god and a man!" ”

Zhang Wanzhong got up and replied: "The old man clan lives in Huailing County in the Middle Ages, since the chaos in the world, my Huailing land is full of bandits and chaotic army, it can be said that the people are not living, it is General Yuan who led the army to sweep away the chaos and bandits for my Huailing County, this move is the grace of reinvention for the people of Huailing!" The general's kindness, the old man has nothing to repay, and he can only dedicate this flying slave's method of transmitting the message to the general, if this method can benefit the general, it will be very good! ”

"The old gentleman is polite, it is my duty to protect the people as the general of the Son of Heaven."

Yuan Yao smiled and arched his hand to Zhang Wanzhong, and then said: "The art of war has clouds, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can be invincible, this flying slave's method of transmitting messages is fast and safe, it is the key thing to know oneself and the other, and it is the most important." The old gentleman can offer this method, and I am very grateful in the next place! It's just that I don't know how many flying slaves the old gentleman has domesticated? This flying slave may now be cultivated and bred on a large scale? If so, how long will it take for Sir to train the next batch of flying slaves? ”

Zhang Wanzhong pondered for a moment and replied: "General Hui, the old man has now domesticated a total of thirty-two flying slaves, and these flying slaves are relatively simple to cultivate, but they just need some patience, this flying slave can now be cultivated and used on a large scale, and the old man is expected to take eight months to a year to cultivate the next batch of flying slaves." ”

Thirty-two is not a lot, it is enough to cover some important locations in Jingzhou, Xudu, Guandu and Jiangdong, it will take about a year to breed the next batch, this time is also acceptable, after all, I can't expand much power within a year, and it is enough to have these thirty-two carrier pigeons to support.

Yuan Yao thought for a moment in his heart, and said: "The old gentleman domesticated the flying slave and pioneered the method of flying slave transmission, which can be described as an unprecedented pioneering move, although the method of flying slave transmission can also be used among the people, but now that the troubled times have not prevented this method from being used by traitors, I can only limit the use of it first, and wait until the future is peaceful, and then I will pass this method to the world in the name of the old gentleman, I don't know what the old gentleman thinks?" ”

Zhang Wanzhong naturally understood Yuan Yao's thoughts, stroked his beard and smiled, and replied: "Since the old man has already dedicated this method to the general, it is up to the general to decide how to use this method. ”

"The old gentleman is thoughtful, and he admires it, so I thanked the old gentleman here first." Yuan Yao bowed to Zhang Wanzhong, and then said: "Old man, no one under my command can domesticate flying slaves, how about asking the old man to stay and help me for the time being?" ”

Zhang Wanzhong bowed his hand and said: "The general doesn't need to be polite, the old man is willing to stay and help the general!" ”

"Fei Nu, this name is not very good, Fei Nu is also known as the pigeon, since this Fei Nu is specifically used for the purpose of transmitting messages, then call it a carrier pigeon, this Fei Nu method of transmitting information has become the art of flying pigeons!"

Yuan Yao looked at Mao Xiang and commanded: "General Mao, Jinyiwei has a lot of secret communications, and this pigeon transmission technique will be used in Jinyiwei first, and give the old man Jinyiwei the position of the same knowledge, and set up a separate department under it as the communication department, this department is dedicated to training carrier pigeons, you choose some loyal and reliable dexterous people to follow the old man to learn to domesticate carrier pigeons, and strive to domesticate the most carrier pigeons in the shortest possible time!" ”

Zhang Wanzhong also knew that some power would be indispensable to get things done, so he didn't shirk Yuan Yao's letter of appointment, and bowed his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then the old man is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and ask General Mao to take care of him in the future!" ”

"The last general has an order, and he will do his best to complete this matter!" Mao Xiao bowed to Yuan Yao first, then laughed and replied: "In the future, I need more advice from the old man!" ”

Yuan Yao continued to instruct: "You and the old gentleman will first discuss training some people to come out, and first disperse these thirty-two carrier pigeons, and these carrier pigeons will be temporarily placed in Xuzhou, Jiangdong and some important cities in the Central Plains, especially Wuxian and Dantu in Jiangdong. ”

Zhang Wanzhong and Mao Xiang bowed down and bowed: "Promise, we will receive the order, and we will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

。。。。。。

With the escort of Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, the convoy led by Yang Zaixing and Yuan Yin to transport the dowry naturally arrived at the land of Xu Capital without any danger; After Cao Cao sent the order, he appointed Dong Zhao as the assassin of Xuzhou as soon as possible, and ordered his general Cao Hong to command 20,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Xiapi to deter the land of Xuzhou. After Cao Cao explained to Dong Zhao and Cao Hong, he immediately led the remaining army back to Xudu, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Yin's convoy.

When they arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao had already been waiting in Xudu for two days, and when they learned that Yuan Yin's convoy had arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao ordered his henchman Cheng Yu to go to the city gate to meet Yuan Yin.

After Cheng Yu welcomed Yuan Yin and his party into the city, everyone went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping, ready to go to hire Yuan Yao!

When Yuan Yin arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao took his subordinate Wenwu and several of his sons to greet him in person, and after everyone was polite, Cao Cao welcomed Yuan Yin into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After everyone entered the house, it was a routine operation such as Nacai, asking names, Najib, and Nazheng, and the marriage of Cao Cao and Yuan Yao was already an ironclad thing, and naturally there was no fortune teller who dared to say that Yuan Yao and Guanyin were incompatible, and these etiquettes went through the process very smoothly.

After these processes, Cao Cao brought Yuan Yin into the inner hall and began to formally discuss the marriage date: "Yuan Gong, the little girl and the nephew are a match made in heaven, and now that the dowry has been issued, I don't know when the nephew will come to greet the relatives?" ”

Yuan Yin laughed and said, "Gong Cao, now is the time of trouble, the little old man thinks that everything should be done simply and quickly, I don't know what Gong Cao thinks?" Now that it has entered the lunar month, it will soon be the Spring Festival, and Cao Gong must have a lot of things to do in the coming year, and he may not be able to take care of this marriage at that time. Xiao Lao'er has already let people check the date, the second day of the first month of the next year is the auspicious day of the zodiac, why not set the wedding date at this time? Xiao Lao'er came all the way, and his body was also a little unwell, so he rested in Xudu for a while, and then he could welcome my Yuan bride back to Anhui County, what did Cao Gong think? ”
