Chapter 127: Eastern Wu Comes Envoy, Cao Wei Advances North
In the bright court, Liu Chan sat upright, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, looking at the content on it with great interest, this is a book of strange stories, for this kind of book, it can be said that there is no trace of the content is true, basically made up by the author, but even if he knows in his heart, Liu Chan still can't help but read it, for no other reason, just because it is too lonely and boring.
No computer, no mobile phone, no games, no videos, and no other than singing and dancing, drinking and drinking, or gambling for the people of this world.
The difference in the times makes Liu Chan not interested in these, wine, it is good to have a drink occasionally, but he will never sink into it and become addicted to alcohol; Female, Liu Chan didn't say that he didn't like beautiful women, and he wouldn't hide his emotions, but he also didn't get to the point where the spirit worm got into the brain and wasted political affairs, even if there was such a stunning person in the harem.
Many factors have made Liu Chan love to read, and it is not the forced reading and reading in his previous life, but spontaneous interest, or it can also be said to be in order to better understand the world, strictly speaking, Liu Chan's cognition of the world is only half a year, although many things can be reluctantly accepted, but there are also many things that he does not understand, and he has been asked about it many times in the court.
In this way, the study has become a place where Liu Chan often comes, at first, I saw Liu Chan unusually frequently going in and out of the study, and even often sat for half a day, or even a day, many people even secretly observed, of course, people who dared to be so bold, except for the one in the harem, and the only future queen, there was no one else.
After confirming several times that Liu Chan was not pretending, but really employed, Zhang also did not choose to believe it immediately, but began to figure out how long Liu Chan could maintain this state, and she didn't believe that a person could change so quickly!
One day, three days, a week. Half a month, a month......
One day or two, a short period of time to change, people may still be a little curious, but after a long time, it will become a habit, a habit that makes most ministers happy, and they are undoubtedly labeled as loyal ministers, after all, loyal ministers will be sincerely grateful on the basis of Liu Chan becoming better and better.
At this point, the study has also become Liu Chan's usual office place, and at this time, there is a slender note on the bookcase, which is densely covered with small black characters the size of beans.
Fortunately, the font at this time is not as cumbersome as before, and through learning and integrating Liu Chan's own memory, he can still cope with reading and reviewing.
This is a secret report, news from the direction of Eastern Wu, the letter said that Eastern Wu has sent envoys to Shu, and has now landed in Fuling, passing through Wuxian, Yong'an, crossing Jiangzhou, and is coming towards Chengdu.
The letter was sent by the envoys of Eastern Wu as soon as they entered the Shu realm, and now it has reached their own hands, and it didn't take long for the news to come from the land of Jiangzhou, and the envoys of Eastern Wu have passed Yong'an, and they are scheduled to arrive tomorrow!
In other words, the two waves of news are only one day apart, even though there may be a fast car speed of the envoys of Soochow, but the main reason is that there is a huge problem in message transmission.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the main way of transmission of news was still transmitted by manpower on horseback, and the short distance was OK, but in the same way, the envoys of Eastern Wu came to envoys, and the news was only one day earlier than himself, which also meant that the time left for them to prepare was one day, and it was good to say to the envoys, if it was a military situation, it was too late to arrange a day.
The rapid transmission of news greatly affects the implementation of decision-making, the success or failure of the war, and even the size of the loss after defeat, Liu Chan often tries to imagine, if the news can be delivered immediately, imagine the first emperor Liu Bei's eastward expedition, June day, the summer is in full swing, and set up camp between the mountains and forests, if you can discuss with the ministers of Shuzhong in time, such as Zhuge Liang, then can you avoid some endings, whether you can capture Jianye in one fell swoop?
Moreover, if Ma Tan guards the street pavilion and Zhuge Liang can quickly deliver news back and forth in a timely manner, will it be possible to keep the street pavilion from being lost? Will it change the outcome of the Northern Expedition? What about changing the direction of the future generations of the Three Kingdoms?
There are many, many examples like this, in ancient times, the communication measures were too backward, and the fighter plane flashed by in a moment's time, waiting for the approval of the request before acting, that is really the daylily is cold, so this is also extremely important to the ability of the general in ancient times.
When it comes to slow message transmission, how to improve the current communication efficiency, Liu Chan's mind can't help but become active again, telephone? That's obviously, Liu Chan doesn't know how to study the phone! However, it is possible to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages, and it is also a flying pigeon!
In ancient times, there was an allusion to the biography of the wild goose, and the difference between the biography of the wild goose and the biography of the flying pigeon was not much worse, and the most important thing is that the biography of the wild goose happened in the Han Dynasty! That is to say, before that, not only that, the earliest record of using carrier pigeons to transmit news began abroad, as early as 530 BC had been used to transmit the results of the Olympiad everywhere, and in China, well, Gaozu Liu Bang was trapped by Xiang Yu in the past, and he also used flying pigeons to pass the book, and brought in reinforcements to rescue!
As soon as the idea appeared, there was a momentum of immediate implementation, especially Liu Chan, who was a little anxious, but Liu Chan also knew that the flying pigeon seemed to be easy, but it was also difficult to accurately deliver the destination, which was not just to find a pigeon to send the letter, the carrier pigeon used must go through a series of training, otherwise, it would only be like the Hongyan biography, shoot it down to see the message delivered.
But if you send a message like that, it's worthless!
While thinking about it, an attendant slowly walked in and handed a note to Huang Hao, who was also waiting for Liu Chan, and muttered a few words in his ear.
"What's the matter? Show it to me! Liu Chan, who also caught a glimpse of this scene, turned his head to Huang Hao and said, his tone was thick and unquestionable.
Hearing this, a smile quickly appeared on Huang Hao's young and handsome face, which was not very good-looking, although it didn't look stiff, but it was also not a very natural smile, to be precise, it was a kind of smile with flattery.
"Good news! Good news! Your Majesty, there is news from the north, the Southern Xiongnu thief is not dead, since the defeat in the hands of Cao Cao, did not retreat north, but frequently disturbed the northwest of Wei, but the scale is very small, Wei is busy inside and outside, flawless care, but this winter is extremely cold, the food reserves of the Southern Xiongnu are seriously insufficient, and they are desperate, Xingda army went south to rob the stability of Wei. ”
"Fight the autumn wind......" Liu Chan muttered. What's going on over there in Wei? Any news? ”
"After Cao Zhen went back, he was very dissatisfied with what Sima Yi did during the war with our army, and made things difficult everywhere, and now Sima Yi has been transferred out of Luoyang and went to Wancheng! For the Xiongnu departments that are preparing to go south, this time Cao Pi ordered Cao Zhen to be the main general, Zhang He to be the deputy general, and lead Chang'an with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and attack the Xiongnu in the north! ”
